  1. Hi, may i know where is collection? thnks
  2. Hi, as above, selling as a bundle at $50 firm. Used 1 year plus. PM me for collection venue Thanks
  3. Thanks gouldian, may just get the atman 1550L canister then.
  4. Hi Gouldian, when you were previously using the RA680 to cool your 255L tank, what were the specs of the pump that u were using to drive the chiller? I was rumaging through my storeroom and found an ehiem 2213 (440L) and an Atman 3337 (700L) canister. Was wondering if these could be used. thanks.
  5. I was just at my regular aquarium shop yesterday and he advised me to go for 1 size up over the recommended chiller size. But as you know, I would be getting used items and it seems RA680s are more readily available than the RA240. Anyway, I have confirmed the RA680 from a bro here and he gave me a good price. As for condition, I don't know, only that it's 2 years old. Anyway, I think I will just get it serviced before using. Decided to get a used Teco over a new resun as my aquarium shop recommended Teco and Artica. The shop has been running an Artica pn their planted display tank since I was in the Army (10 years ago). Yesterday, the same Artica is there, running without a hitch
  6. Guys, with regards to the chiller. Will it be overkill if I use a Teco RA680 to chill my 2ft cube?
  7. Sure, but the tank won't be up until Feb next year. I''ll be taking my time with this tank.
  8. Hi Gouldian, thanks for your advise, I have confirmed the octopus mh which Jowy ham is selling. To me, mh is a must for a marine aquarium for the simple reason that it creates a flickering in the tank that is so characteristic of a marine aquarium. This effect in itself is worth the mh and chiller price alone
  9. Another question with regards to chillers, is it better to get a super oversized chiller and opposed to a chiller specced for the tank. Will getting a CL650 be better than getting a CL280 in terms of energy savings? There are also many Teco, Artica etc bigger hp chillers on sale by some bros here. But they are mainly for cooling 4 footers and above. Is it advisible to get these instead? Lastly, for the chiller heat discharge, is there any particular brand that runs cooler? May be a stupid ques since technically, the heat discharge should be the same for the same amt of water cooled? No? Sorry so many questions
  10. Spot on Gouldian. I'll be getting the biostar from Danny next few days. I'm searching now for quality 2nd hand stuff due to budget. (Just got a new place and the reno is killing me). On the note of sand, I really love the look of grade 0 sandbed but like u said due to practical considerations, may just settle for suger sized. I noticed clowns sometimes like to wag their tails on the sandbed at the foot of rocks to create a hole to hide in. Can't imagine what it would be like if grade 0 was used. I'm also considering getting the Turnze nano 6025 from another bro here. Is it sufficient for the 2ft cube?
  11. Thanks for all the replies. Taking into consideration the input, I have ammended my setup to this 1) Main Tank of 2ft cube with eurobrace 2) MH 150watts 3) Aquamedic Biostar Flotor 4) Resun CL280 chiller (connected to surface skimmer driven by a canister) 5) 1x seio 820 6) Deep sandbed 2.5 inches (Grade O?) 7) Life Rock Intended inhabitants: 3 pcs true clowns 1 rose tip anenome 1 "haven decide wat anenome" 3 cleaner shrimps 2 fire shrimps 1 flame angle With regards to the sandbed. I personally prefer grade 0 as it looks really nice. Is it advisable? Also, I see that reefdepot has those sugar like sand (caribsea Aragamax). Is this good or the normal fare from petmart would do. Caribsea is q expensive, is it really worth it? thanks again
  12. So if I only run the biostar with no other filteration apart from DSB and Live rocks, will it be enough? I will then connect a surface skimmer to the ehiem 1250 (dry) which will run it pass the resun CL280, through a UVC then back. Will that be ok?
  13. My bad, what was I thinking. I meant the Turnze 9005. however, thinking of the biostar now as it does not take up precious space in the tank.
  14. Will the aquamedic biostar flotor be sufficient instead? Read alot of good reviews about it. Think 5-10% water change every 2 weeks sufficient?
  15. Dear all, I am going to set up a simple 2ft cube clown and anenome tank. As I want maintenance to be as low as possible, I am contemplating the following equipment. 1) Main Tank of 2ft cube with eurobrace 2) MH 150watts 3) Oversized in tank skimmer like the deltec 9005 to be located inside the main tank 4) Resun CL280 chiller 5) 1x seio 820 and 1x seio 620 6) Deep sandbed Intended inhabitants: 3 pcs true clowns 1 rose tip anenome 1 "haven decide wat anenome" 3 cleaner shrimps 2 fire shrimps 1 flame angle 1 purple tang Question is. Will the deltec alone be capable of handling all the filtration requirements of the cube? i dun intend to use a sump nor a canister. All advice greatly appreciated. thanks
