My new 3ft Tank!!

[typrobin]

my 2 days' work...

[typrobin]

my favourite equipment!!!

2 X profantic fans....

time to upgrade to chiller...

[typrobin]

lessons learnt...

1) i prefer to do skimmers.. .electrical stuffs are better left to the electricians..had to hide behind my sofa before i switch on my 250W mh, so afraid that it will explode...

2) next time i will just get someone else and pay for the work...

3) 1 X 250W is not enough for 3ft tank...even with spider reflectors....

now the questions are...

1) should i go 2 X 250W?? approximately $300 + another day's work...

2) 2 X 250W = chiller...approximately $350 (resun 650)

3) 2 X 250W with only LPS?? should i try SPS?? approximately $kk....

4) SPS = calcium reactor...approximately $500 to DIY

moral of the story...

should have just continued with my 2 X 150W.......

anyone can lend me a camera?? need to take pics of my corals...my camera sucks...

like what scarab has done...if you want to go 1X250W MH...you need to go with 2XT5 tubes on both sides for extra illumination.

1X250W will only cover range of 2ft ...even with reflectors

my latest equipment...

RobFLo Shorty 100/270..

FR for carbon...just nice for 500gram of carbon...

not hooked up yet...still waiting for PVC glue to dry...

[typrobin]

acompanied with RobFLo 100/370..

FR for rowa...only topped up the unit with 500g of rowa...should be sufficient for 1000g...

i swear i will not use rowa again...too troublesome...

[typrobin]

compared with RobFLo 100/470...customised 2ft tall RobFLo for fellow reefer...

[typrobin]

my glorious days before the resun FR came into singapore. ..hehehehe
