  1. any photo on how u plan to place the bulb over the tank and where u put ur ballast?
  2. then how's light going to penetrate thru?
  3. I heard there's another method.. Get sticky tape, as sticky as possible, apply over affected area and then rip out.... BY RIGHT, the spikes will come out with the tape...
  4. for $60 bucks might as well top up a little get the weipro venturi one? Then don't need to worry about the airstone liao.. But if u don't want it, like what was said, change it once the air bubbles don't look as fine.. and before the wood rots away...
  5. I don't understand how that works... where are the plants going to be?
  6. very nice.... two thumbs up!!
  7. hm... 3ft not too big? some more bigger than ur main tank? But then my sump also bigger than main tank.. hhaaa
  8. I second this... Singapore already hardly has ANY decent marine life to begin with... if there's going to be people rushing off to strip our coast of fishes/corals then there will be nothing left... sad man...
  9. hm... FW tanks no need as thick glass as SW right? Might not be entirely suitable leh..
  10. I doubt fans can cool your tank till it's 26-28 right? 28 maybe still can but 26 is almost impossible (with lights, powerhead and all) Also, topping up is a real real real pain man.. (until I DIY-ed my auto-top up!)
  11. Well a kiasu person would use reverse osmosis or otherwise filtered water... I just use tap water + anti chlorine.... but since I put it in my big auto-top up tub, by the time it gets to the tank it's already aged... Brand of anti-chlorine is Nutrafin or something....
  12. Woah... that's some good kopi-O man!!
  13. Yah most of them are very low in colour temp... might not be very good for refugium but at 150W.... shrug..
  14. how pure/clean is their seawater?
  15. Yah I've used those tubes for my computer before.. I think u can buy them with the inverter and all at around 10-12 bucks if I remember correctly from Kaichi* SLT 3rd floor... But problems are: 1. White, so have to add something to colour it (eg. blue cellophane) 2. Very fragile, a little twist and it snaps 3. Inverter can give a rude shock if touched (also a little bulky) 4. Overall more ex than LEDs, but better spread of light (LED very concetrated) Someone try it out and see how?
  16. The polishing actually slowly "sands" away the glass.. so the glass at that area gets thinner and thinner until the scratch is gone... although it's relatively safe, i've heard that it actually harms the structural integrity of the glass..
  17. Correct... just use some filter wool to mechanically filter the water then change it once a week or something.... I've recently removed all the bio-balls and coral chips from my sump after the advice given by fellow reefers... As to the amount of LR, sorry not too sure myself.. hehe
  18. I was also looking for it before but to no avail... esp those that can cover larger scratches...
  19. Alamak.. that's expensive stuff man... Cannot wire it to exisiting timers?
  20. 30+ including the timers and switches?? Looks pretty good...
  21. 1 ft cube... 3 super bright LEDs...
  22. The LEDs are not powerful enough to "light" up the whole tank... they are a much more subdued lighting suitable to allow you to view your tank when the lights go off without causing much disturbances... I leave my DIY moonlight on 24/7...
