    Hi, You can check out this website below. They seemed to sell a lot of electrical components for DIYing http://sg.farnell.com/
  6. Hi, I'm planning to get a length of PVC pipe to make the coil denitrator. From what I read from various sources online on how to DIY the denitrator, some do not recommend using mat material for the core of the coil, althought mat will provide a lot of surface area for the anaerobic bacteria to host. The reason being the mat will clog up the system. Would it be advisable to use sulphur beads then, with a layer of CaCO3 at the top to buffer the pH of the effluent? Not too sure on the mechanism of sulphur based denitrification, if oxygen is required or not to break down the nitrates or not. If oxygen is required, it would mean that sulphur beads will not be a good idea, since the water at the end of the coil would be oxygen-deficient, no? For those who are interested in trying out this DIY project, you can get a coil of air tubing from C328 at $6.50 for a length of 50m.
  7. Wanted to get some idea of the length of air tubing to be used before I embark on this project. Thanks RX for your reply.

  10. Hi all, What are the differences between dry skimming and wet skimming other then the appearance of the skimate? What are the pros and cons of each type of skimming?

  12. Hi all, I have only 1 cleaner shrimp in my tank and it seems to be carrying some eggs too. Is it possible for a shrimp to be carrying eggs even without another male shrimp to fertilise the eggs?
