  1. Cos i will would want a 3 side view tank, so if its possible to remove the black paper on one side n letting it cover the overflow portion only then i might consider. alot anyway.
  2. Eh .. Noticed that there's a black covring arnd the tank. Would like to know if it can be removed without damaging the tank. Thanks
  3. Cool.! Thanks alot dreamzcape. Yea .. its super crazy for a pico with a 100G .. Must as well make the 100G into the main display. Yea .. i think i hav settled on the macor skimmer, juz checked the price with bio-ocean, it costs a little below $100 together with pump. quite affordable. Plus CNY is coming round the corner .. Rejoice! i see some light to me getting the new tank up n cycling by feb. Be sure to keep a lookout for my tank topic in the near future.
  4. LOL .. Yea .. great shot. Hehe .. the fish steal show Anyway thats a nice group of tubeworms together.
  5. Yea .. no problem .. its always nice to help others. .. Hmm .. mayb we can each look out for lights for small tanks. I m also looking out for an alternative to MH lights for my new 17" ( a little smaller than 1.5ft ) tank. N the lights r seriously hard to come by. 2 pair of eyes find things faster then 1 pair.
  6. Lol. Thanks again muar-chee n dreamzcape. i juz finished calculating the total volume of my tank with sump n it amounts to around 130liters or 35G. ( hope its still considered a nano tank ) Is it alrite if i use macro KS-100P which is rated for skimming up to 300L ? If its too powerful i can also consider switching it off when i m feeding like what dreamzcape suggested. Really grateful to u guys out there.
  7. thanks for the summary. I think i catch wad it means. Okies .. time to source for equipments.
  8. LOL .. Haha .. shld hav taken a closer look. Anyway nice tank n great job!
  9. Yea .. hav to agree with that pt. Lights for small tanks super hard to find. Oh yea .. i think i saw a small clip on MH light offering somewhere in this forum. Nano MH Hope that help. I might b considering one of these or mayb a strong T5 set (which m still looking hard for one)
  10. Thanks dreamscape I wouldnt wanna overkill my skimmer as read most ppl saying that over skimming wouldnt b good as well. Might settel for a small skimmer. any reccommandations on skimmers?
  11. Yup. The pico tank u mentioned in ur previous pot in this topic. Cant wait to see it
  12. Wow! U ppl r great man. Thanks Loads. Haha .. Muar-chee .. i m a guy Yea .. will PM u if i need more help. Thanks Ian .. one of my friend hav alrdy gave me a 4 fan set as he stopped his hobby as he will b furthering his studies overseas. But i would prefer having a chiller as the tank would b beside my living room TV n i wouldnt want too much water evaporation in that area. Yea .. Will surely PM u for the frags when my tank is ready. By the way r sea fans considered SPS n r they difficult to keep? They do look really nice when they bloom. One more questions here. Wad is the reccommanded return flow from my sump tank be? ppl .. really nice of u guys to help me out
  13. Yea .. that is that block thing on the right side a powerhead? Looks compact juz nice for nano. Eh anyone knows the modal n ratings of it? Ur tank seems to b doing well Keep it up!
  14. Hey! Nice tank tread n thanks for the tank maker contact. Btw Happy Chinese New Year. Be sure to post ur new tank once its up
  15. Thanks alot bros n sis! Yea .. will b doing weekly water change. Will need lots of help in the future. Looking for a tank maker now. N the tank should b cycling by feb.
  16. Thanks alot. Yea .. i m intending to hav a sump with skimmer. the sump should b of abt 1/2 the capacity of the main tank so as to increase the total water vol. Yea .. i m oso intending to add in a chiller n might wanna use MH lights I know this might b a little overkill but i m actually intending to add clams after a while. alot ppl.
  17. The farm in pasir ris farmway 2.. Eh .. tahts beside the point. Can anyone help me out with my question?
  18. By the way i m planning to keep soft corals. and if possible i would also like to keep some clams. There will also b fishes.
  19. Hi! Would need some help here. I think some of u might hav read abt me wanting to start off with a 96G tank. But after some considerations i will b starting with a 18G tank as my parents r not convince enough to allow me to hav a big tank. I visited the LFF at pasir ris farmway 2 earlier on n my mum is convinced that a small setup is alot easier then a big one ( as mentioned by the LFF owner ). He tried to sell me his nanocube ($188) n said i dun need skimmer, chiller, n that the nanocube in stock would b alrite with weekly water change using NSW. BTW he even said that if the corals dun survive after a few months y not juz replace it with a new piece n that really got on my nerves. I mean corals r also a life form n we shld all do our best to maintain it in good health. Juz wondering if any of u hav comments on this n can help me out in starting my hobby. After reading some of the nano tank posts, i also noticed that most owners even hav a sump, skimmer, chiller in their setup. I hav dawn up the design for the tank as i would like to custom make one instead of using a nanocube as i find it very riggid n future expansions would b very difficult. I would like advice on whether i should expand the size of the design a little more to make it a 24G or mayb a 30G. By the way i hav also included an overflow compartment in my tank idea which will lead to a sump at the bottom of the tank. If possible i would also like some reccommandations on skimmers n chillers n also other equipments i should invest on to create a successful nano setup. Would like to thank everyone in advance.
  20. Haha Great piece of ZOO! Didnt know they come in multicolours. Oh yea .. juz realised it ... the colours matches the CNY theme. Red(pink) , Yellow(gold) ... Haha! A CNY deco in a marine tank!
  21. Hey! .. Nice LR layout. Btw i noticed u changed ur skimmer. Mind sharing y u decided to change? Cos i m thinking of getting a second hand EV-240 n would like to know its pros n cons. Thanks
