SRC Member Earth Posted June 15, 2008 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2008 Impressive for u bro. Knowing where the tank origins from.... Need to drop by one day to see so tat can advise my uncle whom also got the same spec from A******s... Could see all the gems nicely position The red lobo looks familiar More pics ya Thanks bro... very paiseh, I have been very busy with work, always home late so not too convenient to get you guys to pop over. I will try to make some time for you, Raymond and Kenneth to come over after i complete the transferring of corals from my office to home. Especially paiseh to Raymond where he wants to see my old Fowlr... But not to worry, my fowlr will be transferred to office instead so still can see something. The lobo is another piece which i just bought from a reefer. The one you collected for me is still going strong in my office tank. Will be transferring it back home sometime this week. By the way, if you happen to see Kenneth, please inform him that the 3 maxima clams i got from him last year are still safe and sound with me Quote 4x1.5x2.3 home tank 6x2x2.3 office tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Earth Posted June 15, 2008 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2008 bro, your orange plate look healthy....but putting it on the rocks facing almost vertical looks a little too funny.... you want to consider putting it at the sand bed???? I like to place plates on steep slopes as I don't know what to put to cover up such areas Any suggestion how i can cover up such ares other than plates? Plate or tongue is easy as they are very "flat" Quote 4x1.5x2.3 home tank 6x2x2.3 office tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Reefzzz Posted June 15, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hey Hey, I was just typing my reply to Sean and u came in So what are you in now? Fowlr or reef? My tank still empty like before. But recently, can't help but bought some corals from bro Harold. Now have a cyna & 2 brains in my tank. hehe.. Logically wanted to go fowlr (so chiller can be off) but sentimentally to a reef tank of course. hehe..

Bro, an oberservation: Looking at your tank size, is 1/10 artica slightly underpower? My total water volume is about 430L. Taking into consideration of the LR and sand, the volume should be about 410L Currently i set my chiller to kick in at 27.5 deg. It takes the arctica average of 1hour 15min to chill down 5 degree with full lights on (4 tube T5HO). Without lights average will be 1 hour to do the chilling. Is this normal?

SRC Member Underwater Posted June 16, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted June 16, 2008 Wow, really look different comparing with yr ex-fowlr tank. Nice rockscape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Earth Posted June 16, 2008 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 16, 2008 Wow, really look different comparing with yr ex-fowlr tank. Nice rockscape! Thanks bro... I am using GO replica rocks as the main rock scape so i guess that will be much easier. The two big hills that you see are actually replica rocks. If you see carefully there's a difference in colours between the replica and the live. Quote 4x1.5x2.3 home tank 6x2x2.3 office tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo77 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 2 cents worth opinion, seems long but after achieving the temperature, how long does it take for the artica to kick in again? Mine is a 2ft cube with a sump tank and it takes around 15 minutes to cool my tank to 27.7(set around 28.3) and around 45 minutes to an hour for it to kick in again depending on the surrounding temperature. Me using 1/5 artica. hey bro, 1+ hr to chill down 0.5degree sound a little long to me. Maybe some bro here can help to comment...
