    Can I ......

    Invest your $$$ in good quality equipment like protien skimmer and lights and also a chiller. Don't make a mistake of buying one that is just nice for your tank size......over size them. Upgrading your tank in the future will not cost alot since the equipment can still be use.

    If SRC is around when I first started with marine. My store room wouldn't have all these junks now.... :cry2:

    A mini beckett will be a venturi valve. Beckett injectors are basically 4 venturi valve stuck together

    Tanzy, don't understand what you meant :( thought venturi valve is just a hose connected after or before the pump sticking out from the water to suck air. totally different from beckett.

    Ich????

    whenever there's ich outbreak in my tank, I'll reduce salinity level (osmotic shock), and dose ParaGuard. Specifically reduce to 1.014. Success rate is 100%.

    This is the most effective method that I have tried. IMO, no other medication can compete, including copper treatment. Trust me. :eyebrow:

    You have to act fast. To improve the immune system by feeding and by ensuring good water quality are merely preventive measure. The fish may die before it's able to battle itch the natural way. :angel:

    Sea Turtle

    If you are refering to the pig nose , they are now selling like $15 each for about 8cm at LFS, they are cute had 3 in my indoor pond

    of course I'm not refering to pig nose. They're real sea turtle. Must ask the farm owner then he'll bring it out. They're very different from fresh water turtle. Its front legs are very very long, and very very short rear legs.

    Using way too many sockets...

    IMO, although our home socket is rated at 13A (i.e. 2990 watts), it does not mean they are safe to draw such high current.

    Examples:-

    1) Water heater and window air-con. These equipments are difinitely lower than 2990w, but hdb requires isolated 15A power point for them. If you hook them into a normal 13A point, you'll either have a trip or burning socket.

    2) New Hdb flat has rule for pre-installed air-con point. If I'm not wrong, the compressor cannot be above 11-13A. But they're 15A point.

    3) Electronic designer normally select components that is rated above the circuit requirement as far as cost allowed. Any electronic hobbist or student will know this.

    I think I've read it somewhere. As a general guide, never exceed 70% of the rated power. i.e, don't exceed 2,093 watts (2990 * 70%) on a 13A point

    One very important thing, use good quality multi-plug. Those cheap ones have very bad contacts which will create sparks and heat.

    Just my 2 cents
