  1. i have a set of turbo charger for sale...set comes complete with xtra large intercooler and piggyback.... fits nicly for RN6.... at least 250bhp on the wheels... are u keen??? also i have a custom bonnet just like Evo's but for RN6....PM me if u are interested cheers
  2. pls contact me at 96677991 thanx
  3. pls check your PM i don't need the holder just good price... thanx
  4. Tunze osmolator are the best regulator for water top up... it's the best $$$ can buy... 1 of my unit is already 8yrs liao... no problems at all... but the metering pump for the topup has been changed 2 times in the last 8yrs... it's considered damn good as there's soo much back pressure from the 1 way check vavles and DI unit plus Kalk reactors.... just do it...100% satisfied.. cheers
  5. if u ground it to your plug's earth...it will trip your ELCB or MCB. get rid of the pump or equipment, don't waste your time trying to repair (provided u have the knowledge and materials) cuz not worth the time and danger of killing yourself and your love one. usally it's the China products that have this problem, although the German stuff sometimes have it too but rarely...
  6. is your tank glass too thick for the unit or is it too thin?? might be able to do some mod to fix the problem... cuz it sounds like a small issue compared to overheating problem leh...
  7. selling the above at $200 with additional hard casing and extra stylus condition 9/10 for quick sale call 96677991 can find more info below link http://www.devlib.org/resources/computers/...silver/details/ thanx
  8. oh!!! GUYS pls DON'T kid yourself..... protein skimmers will never get those NO3 down to the desired levels. (only if the bioload is really low and the water ratio to fish is much more) WC is more likely the way but it's not going to be easy and u need lots of discipline to manage those parameters. Later
  9. u can always add in sulphur media and have the unit really kick ######. i was using SR 400 which the AM agent don't bring in. they can handle 4-5 ft tank without any problems. although maintaining the right ORP within the reactor, is a real pain in the ###### if u don't use a orp controllers with solenoid valve.(using "T" off water from the main supply pump) i leave with the daily tuning for years. i've got mixed sulphur beads with hydro carbonate from AM for sale if u really need them. PM me this days, NO3 is never a problem/concern for me... it's those them evil PO4 that will put a big hole in your pocket. cheers
  10. u don't need to make it so complexed. use 3 compartment max. run the carbon n rowa in a reactor, if not run them passive.
  11. JM u will have problem with your 2nd and 5th compartment. remove the sponge in the 2nd (using sponge might cuz water level in the 1st to be higher) and rethink the water level in your 5th. what's the return to tank piping for?? (back to 1st compartment)how r u going to regulate the water going back to the display and 1st compartment. u might have issues with that. do u need the biohome?? wouldn't your rowa/carbon run dry if u have them up so high, they should be submerged completely. cheers
  12. rockF u can use acryfix if it's not too high pressured. pvc weilding works too but u would need the weilding kit. don't forget to sand down the surface if using acryfix/weild-on 16
  13. i've beed using sulphur for a very long time, and have tried both with and without the recir pumps. IMHO go for the recir (with good flow) and stick a ORP probe in there. it will give u more time to enjoy your tank.... ohh if running the recir sulphur reactors u don't really need that big a volume... also don't use too much sulphur media... they can handle lots of water with very little media needed. as for the neutralizing of the acids in the reactor, get courser media (hydro carbonate from A Medic) if not they might fuse and clog the flow within the reactor. thear down the reactors every 6 mths for washing or else they'll get out of control ( too effecient ) one thing that i notice running sulphur reactors.... they depress your tank ORP levels so if u run it with O3 then no/less worry/concern. happy reefing
  14. u can always DIY DIY threadwheel
  15. If Carols for sale, i'll take her. how much we taking here. Upzz for your sale.
  16. ohh why would i ever want to use those thermometer with those cheapo suction cup. i don't trust a $1.50 thermometer in the first place. it's not the rubber suckers u should be worried about it's the thermometer. if u do go check out cheapo thermometer ( i know u do) take a few of them and compare all the temperatures.... they'll all give different readings. well... u might/should pick out the pc with the lowers reading cuz i'm sure it's gonna make u feel better about your tanks temperature.
  17. shootsimon u've got to be kidding right?? i have been running 300mg/hr O3 on my beckett skimmer for a very long time, and the O-ring's are it's still good, though u get some black goo when u rub on it. but to worry about O3 for your FR in my opinion is a waste of time and bad advice, u should know what u're talking about B4 start advicing others/reefers. it's a shame to post things that u think u heard from someone there or was it from those during which ever time, that u don't even remember u thought u knew..... eerrr was it the other way round...opps forgotten...oh..well...i think i know anyway. cheers
  18. what's O3 got to do with those FR??? why would u need an O3 proof FR when running O3??? my FR preference would be those from RM.
  19. hi all don't ever use those so call chloroform from DAMA that comes in those 500ml/1liter bottle. those are too diluted and should not be used for tank or water tight construction. there are some good stuff for acrylic glueing, just not those. Weld-on and Acryfix are good for water tight application. Acryfix is UV cure and not infra red cured.
  20. 5mm tank is very thin leh. 5mm glass is alright, but acrylic...... u might want to consider that. how big is the tank or how many liters, also how tall is it going to be?
  21. mavgi looking really good with that setup. of cuz thats a Gen6000, much higher flow rate compaired to eheim 1262. i'll be shooting for the sicce pumps the next time round. most likely the 5800 at least. will post some results when time comes. (i'm waiting for sponsors) ACJ sorry dude, we shouldn't hijack your thread. cheers
  22. ACJ i don't think it's that impressive, it's alright for a DIY skimmer. it's now sitting in the store room collecting dust. if i could do it again, i'll do some changes to it, didn't like the set up. it's not becuz it's recirculation and some ppl think it's no good due to turbulance form the supply pumps, that can be fixed quite easily, it's more of the riser height and diameter i'm not too please with. well, it's back to drawing board. but no more $$ to go do test for now. trying to buy more 4D & toto to see if can get some$$. LOL all the best with your test.
