my tank coming sunday..... if you got any coral frags to let go do tell me ya.... haha.... neighbour must be helpful to each other.

i just bought new yesterday..... -.- and i stay in sengkang....

location for collection?

my tank not set up yet.. still waiting for it to arrive.... when i finished cycling sell me some n icefrags lah...

i'm waiting for my tank to arrive.... hopefully will come by these few days. Will get some from you if it's here.

wats the model? collect where?

ok.... thanks for all help by bros (and sis?) here. I've bought a Dymax Starlight 4x24WT5HO, ordered a 24x16x16 tank and purchased a 2nd hand macro venturi skimmer and a red sea prizm (gonna test which one works better). Now awaiting the tank to arrive before I can start on setting it up.... Quetions on filter media: 1)can i use rowaphos in my canister and how long do I need to change it? 2)should I use carbon or is it optional as I heard carbon absords metals and chemicals in the water.... wouldn't any beneficial chemicals be absorbed as well? 3) any recommendations on a cheap small FR which I can place rowaphos in or is placing it in my eheim 2215 cannister good enuff?

pmed u about the macro skimmer a couple of days back..... still waiting for your reply...

thanks for the reply. think it's too powderful for my tank. good luck

how tall is the macro skimmer and can it be used out of sump/as hang on back skimmer? any specs for it?

u willing to let go your protein skimmer seperately? if ok, i can pick it up tomorrow.

is the skimmer hang on type?

how do you set the retrofits on a tank w/o hood. just lay it on top? does it fit nicely?

hi... any recommendations for a value-for-money T5 4x24W fixture?

thats me

bro. for your 19" tank, what lighting fixture you use? how much and where did you get it from? care to pm me?

bo pian.... i got no space for sump and canister is the next best thing to have for a 2 footer. Saves space and increases water area.

hi, I already have spare CRs and a litre of Biohome red for the cannister. Maybe I'll go dual cannister and increase my water volume as well. :

finally some replies. thanks for the response. hmm... means i'll have to be patient and stake out the buy/sell area for good buys. If i decide to go T5HO lighting, means I need to get a 2ft tank at least, cos i know they dun make it less than 2ft. If i go less than 2 ft, means the best I can go will be 2x36W PL unless I custom make my own hood which will cost more. Do you think it is a good idea to get a Resun CL85 chiller or just go fan-cool for the time being...

can I take a portion of it only? I only need some to setup a 2ft tank. thanks.

Seems like no one is helping me at the newbie forum.... so I'll ask this here since it's gonna be a nano tank. Planning to setup a 2ft or 20" tank. roughly 10-15G. Need help on the following: Lights: It's either a 4xT5 24W tube config from NA for the 2ft or 2x36W PL 10000k tube config for the 22" tank. are these either one enough for keeping easy to keep soft corals and maybe some hard corals? Also, is 2x55W PL better than 4x24W T5HO? Filtration/skimmer: I plan to use either an Eheim 2215 cannister or Jebo 912 cannister filled with ceramic rings and biohome only for bio filtration. No sponge or cotton. And a cheap Hang On Back filter for increased filtration. Do you think I will need a skimmer and if yes, any cheap one to recomment less than S$100. Also, what flowrate Powerhead should I add for optimum water flow. I do not want a bulky one as limited for space. Any brand recommendations? My budget is less than S$30 for this one. Lastly, what brand of sea salt is good and do I really need RO or distilled water for SW tanks? Can normal tap water with antichlorine be used as well? I have been in FW tanks for 7-8yrs now but got no clue on SW tanks. Planning to start soon and hopefully some kind lau jiaos in SW will be able to help.

Hi, can I just get a portion of it? I don't need so much. Just about 15-20kg will do.
