  1. Are you very certain it'll last that long? I do have one that I bought from those live bait fishing shops. I was worried it wouldn't last that long, that's why I'm looking for other alternatives.

    Well, I assume they could only get better...

    We usually just use a pair for over night fishing under Sheares Bridge.... definitely more than 12 hrs.... (that was more than 10 years ago)

    All I remember was Energizer "D" size batteries thumbsup.gif

  2. Peace, since u have mp10 why not consider the battery backup from vortex? I'm planning to set up ups for my she tank as well, but still in oplanning stage. It will cos u approx 300, that will power ur mp10 for 3 to 7hrs. If u want a cheaper option, get a battery powered air pump. It actually can cover a blackout for 2 to r hrs.

    Battery operated air pumps can usually last more than 12 hrs on 2 energizer D size cheers.gif...

  3. As far as I know, some UPS might not be good to be used for our aquarium equipment due to the different electrical wavelength. If the UPS is designed for pc or server use, it's not to be used for our equipment. Learnt it here in SRC.

    Interesting.... Any good link for a start?

  4. had just place the orders for the driver and leds

    2x meanwell 1050 driver at 26usd each

    1x artic silver thermal adhesive at 14usd

    25x xp-g r5 leds at 6.50 usd each

    sadly rapidled does not ship heatsink internationally, thus i will just get a 8" by 8" alu plate for it

    Aiya, if you say early i tonbang my drivers too.

  5. Hi Billy...

    I suppose the pricing stated above is for the MeanWell LPC series....

    That unit price is SGD?

    Does it include freight charges?

    It should be the payable amount in SGD already. But usually, they do not include GST yet.

  6. Hi bro...

    Precisely....

    Not sure how good is their service and their freight charges....

    I was trying their shipping cost. Seems like the amount to be ship have little effect on the shipping cost and will not exceed $25USD (tried ordering $3kUSD worth of drivers and heat sink) . Seems worth doing a MO.

    But, seems they do not have much stocks left for Mean Well LPC-60-1050 constant current driver for now though.

    PS: I am not sure if they are really cheaper over all and if their warranty international (for LED driver)...

  7. Meanwells are made in China but funny thing is no chinese ebayer or reseller selling it... <_<

    Ebay is not a popular option in China. This is what I found in 淘宝 (in RMB).

    I am asking my Electrical contractor to check with his suppliers if they can find these (Meanwell LPC 35 and 60).

    Will keep in you guys posted once he get back to me.

  8. Giving out a set of industrial MH set with ballast free. May need to replace bulb.

    Throwing it away if no one interested.

    Would gladly take a few polpys of any zoas (preferably bright colors) as token.

    PM me for contact details.

    Given 1 set out to bro danaya, left last set.

  9. My experience based on IQ4 is very prone to scratches easily... its the worst nightmare!!!! No matter how careful you can be, somehow, somewhere, some sand may just scratch the surface... outside still nvm, can use polisher but inside... nothing much you could do.....

    There is a rumor that melamine sponge (such as Mr. Clean) may be able to remove fine scratches.

    I've also seen a lot of different melamine sponge sold in Daiso. You may want to give it a try.

  10. For the first time, i did a 30% wc, i had to use separate containers , and i test it separately. Subsequently, i did 10% wc, i use a single container...i did not get 1300 from all the tests... i left it overnight with a pump running...

    Eeww.... I knew I should have trust them!! thumbdown.gif

    Thanks! friends.gif

  11. I am using the redsea coral pro bundled with my RSM. i mixed with the given instructions (1kg - 30l), but my mg test reads 800-900 only. I did the test for every water change... i think 3-4 times already.

    Did you mix it in a separate container and test it? I couldn't help as I didn't purchase the Mg test kit too :P
