bet you are feeling exciting exciting. im feeling excited for you as well.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Gorgeous mesoleucos butterfly, from the pic looks like a nice size too. Elongatus is a rare anthias from japan. Taiwan may be catching these anthias but they dun sell cos most likely those caught

Whilst tearing down my old tank, have been planning my new tank with reddevils. The initial thought was to take a short break from chionging LFS, reefing etc. The break will only last 2 months sadly,

after filling everything with FW and running it, noticed this.

the 2 eheims combined are drawing water at such a fast rate that the water level in their compartment is not level with the rest.

i don't foresee it to be a problem at this moment, but the force of water going down everywhere will cause alot of micro bubbles. especially from the flow of water right to left into the eheim compartment.

will need to think of solutions to counter the microbubble problem :)

as for now, everything looks good and running without leaks. peace of mind.

If not den restrict the flow a bit lor... Since you got the valve there.. LOL...

When you put the coil in the water level should rise...

Bro! I am tagging along this threadd! Better keep it alive long long okay! :D

Those valves thingy with the blue tap is called union ball valve (:

Secondly, I agreed with bro.Terryz that you should wait up to a day or more than 6 hours after applying pvc glue. You never know when the glue actually cures. Otherwise, exposing them to water will weaken the bond (: but having said that you already put water. so now let's see if there're any leaks! :X

Thirdly, that's really alot of test kits you got there! I wish I got that kind of money to spend on them! haha (:

Fourthly, I like the idea of you mixing your sandbed. personally I am doing that too. Works really well. Even my vortech mp40w cannot stir them up haha (:

Lastly, bro, I think you can try adding some bioballs with a filter wool or filter bag with carbon on top to help cushion the waterfall. :D Otherwise maybe you can tune down your returns or ask vincent to do another 2 tee-offs for other purposes to help distribute the flow (:

I LOVE YOUR TANK! :D

Happy Reefing,

Marc J.

Bro, I love your tank! Wish that I can have something like this someday!

Happy Reefing,

Marc J.

oo union ball valve haha. got it. i know it's a ball valve, just dunno wat kind.

the glue? oops ._. nvm lah. done liao huh? :P

the tests kit... well... expensive but important lah. i've only got the essential ones like mg, ca, kh, ph no need coz i got probe, NO3, NH4 (important since im running QT tanks as well), and that's basically it? if i remember correctly.

yes the sand bed idea is very good too. i like it :P

definitely will be adding something on the overflow to cushion the sound. wool, carbon etc can be done. no worries.

and lastly, i wont do anything to the flow of the returns. i wanted strong intermittent flow thats why i did it. if not defeat the purpose. i will see how it goes with the coil. see if need to tune or not.

and thank you for loving my tank! :)

this is through 1 piece of glass, a large body of water, and another piece of glass! total two pieces of glass sandwiching a large body of water. and yet it's still so clear like as if nothing's there.

sis if it's tap water nia, dump in salt and on wavemaker liao :cheers::chair:

but considering that if you need to add on additives all those if using NSW, might be abit more costly and unclear of the coastal water that LFS collect might be having issue(not i am saying that there is some issue,but just playing safe hehe)

jiayou jiayou!~

well judging from the current situation of using NSW ( although not proven). perhaps err on the side of caution and do your own salt mix la....

ok thanks everyone for the input.

i just opened up all my test kits to read since i'm bored...

ammonia and PO4 test kits are printed ENTIRELY in german! the other test kits have english translations except for ammonia and PO4.

this renders the test kits useless and i'll need to call to see what i can do about it :P

or use google translator hehe

      WIZARD WEB RECOVERY A LEADING EXPERT IN LOST CRYPTO RECOVERY

      I never thought I'd see a penny of my stolen bitcoin again. I had invested over $150,000 in bitcoin back when it was still relatively new and unknown. As the price skyrocketed over the years, my investment grew to be worth over $400,000. One day I went to check my wallet and to my horror, the entire balance had been transferred out. My heart sank realizing all those years of watching my investment grow had been wiped away in an instant by some hacker. I frantically searched online for any way to recover stolen cryptocurrency. Most advice said there was nothing I could do if the thief took proper precautions with the private keys. Then I came across Wizard web recovery - a new web service that claims to use advanced statistical analysis to track stolen bitcoin as it gets passed around different wallets. I was skeptical but filled out their online form, explaining when and how my bitcoin was stolen. A few days later I received an email from a Wizard web recovery analyst. They had traced my stolen bitcoin to a popular exchange where the thief had cashed out. By contacting the exchange, they were able to recover my bitcoin! I was stunned. I truly never thought I'd see that money again. Thanks to Wizard web recovery brilliant web tracking, I got back every last satoshi of my $150,000 in stolen bitcoin. It was an incredible feeling to have what I thought was lost forever returned in the blink of an eye by these blockchain recovery specialists via: wizard web recovery (@) programmer(.) net
