cedricang Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Its a good product, so I believe people are still willing to buy. I'm sure there will be price adjustments as things progress. Agree. Just got two packs from Fuel and a first hand demonstration - the hardening is incredibly fast ! that will be very good for application which needs very fast bonding such as rock work or placing of heavy / large coral frags. Good staff ! Quote Treat others the way you wanna be treated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsontantw Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 heya bro!, nice meeting you @ bro Cedric's house for e worldcup game, sorry didn't able to chat much with you guys as i was late. though I don't normally watch soccer, but could tell it was a beautiful game by German, until their 4th goal, lol. Like your tower for ya corals! looks somewhat like LOTR (eye of Sauron!) cool stuff! Hey bro Milch. Nice to meet you and pai sei for the delaye reply man. The tower is quite unstable actually. Haha. Been waiting for a good time to epoxy them up and the sps as well. Just something I need to place sps. Thanks to bro bino for "sponsoring" them. Agree. Just got two packs from Fuel and a first hand demonstration - the hardening is incredibly fast ! that will be very good for application which needs very fast bonding such as rock work or placing of heavy / large coral frags. Good staff ! Oh yes. Thank to fuel for the live demo! He could get it done so easily while I fumbled a few times. Btw JK, I accidently dropped the piece that you helped me epoxy last nite.

FuEl Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Oh yes. Thank to fuel for the live demo! He could get it done so easily while I fumbled a few times. Btw JK, I accidently dropped the piece that you helped me epoxy last nite. I fumbled a few times too. Rather hard to epoxy the frag when you don't have vision of the spot that you have in mind. I managed to do it successfully as you had helped me find the spot.

wilsontantw Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Guys. I having thoughts of downsizing the tank. Thinking of having 2 smaller tanks to share 1 sump instead Idea is to have 2x 1.5' cube tanks side by side. One for dedicated sps another for Softies, namely rics and zoas. Filtration will be shared sump with return to sps tank and sps overflow to softies. (not sure how but hope it's possible) Another option is to have 2 return pumps to both tanks. lighting wise, I will recycle my 2' T5. LR can recycle too. Sps will be bare bottom and softies will have DSB. Both tank will have a gap between them to accomodate 2' lights and I'll custom build a cabinet to enclose both tanks and sump. Sps tank will have minimal and low-bioload fish, whereas softies can have slightly more fish. Objective is to have easier maintenance, scaping etc etc. I'm finding it tough to control the water flow in a mixreef with both sps and softies in a cube-like setup now. Any suggestions/comments are welcomed... This is just a preliminary thought. Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

SRC Member MOssrope Posted July 6, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted July 6, 2010 since both still goes into the same sump even with different return pumps... bioload in both tanks will still even out no? unless the tank with sps has more LR and such.. or more frequent water change from the sps side then there would be a difference maybe. but if sump filtration is powerful and flow is just the main issue... your intentions will suit to meet your needs Quote Brown SPS > Kinder Surprise White SPS = Kinder Surprise after expiry date Assumption killed the dinosaurs, they didnt have test kits.

SRC Member TayHongSiang Posted July 7, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted July 7, 2010 convert your current set-up into sps tank...and set-up a small tank to house your softies...which can share the same sump as your main tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilsontantw Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 4 footer is, sigh... All but a dream for now. Am having a shitty time @work. Dun dare to over commit. Anyway I like the sunny side up too. An exchange program. I changed the pump positions on Sunday itself. Tried to siphon out the red slime. But guess what... It's back again! Tamade, I think my tank nutrient level too high. Oh back to the pump positioning. The corals simply love it. The milli polyps are opening double it's prev length. Looks quite impressive. Will do a minor rescape this weekend. Will tear down the sps tower and create something less obstructing. Can add another layer to the rocks on the left to add more potential frags/colonies. But zeolite is on the way, will start that once I read up a little more. btw, has the new "Ho Liao" open fully in ur tank already?

Any suggestions/comments are welcomed... This is just a preliminary thought. just in case u missed out this point...since both tanks are sharing the same sump, you have to control the feeding for ur non sps tank.. it kinda defeat the purpose of having 2 seperate tank other then the fact that u can "adjust" the flow rate of each tank to suit the coral needs...

wilsontantw Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hey Ray, I kinda gave up on the 2-in-1 tank idea. So it's either a 4footer or stay put. Currently it's stay put. Have not been calling nat about ur tank bro. Pai sei. But will drop by for the weekly water change. FYI, both nat and I didn't buy water, so I got innovative... Starte buyin new carbon and resins for my crystal pro. Have been using that previously. You ok hor? Carpenter KY: yes ah, may need 2 strips. But why don't u tell me where to buy? I can try and swing by and get it done? Mine is simple, just 2 strips about 2' x 2" x 2". Just need to prop the lights higher away from water surface.
