Recommended Posts

Bro Enseng,

Can clarify does the Aquazonic comes in 1.5ft with 2 tubes of (8 watts x 2 tubes) = 16watts?

if in this way, we can use 1 set of light on one side. ( 16 watts per side x 2 = 32 watts )

Cheers..

Right now i am still sourcing for an manufacturer... Those keen maybe can discuss further.. If i can get the quote early, maybe will go down on Friday morning..

Any bros, keen to go down together? price should be less than $100 and location is at kaki bukit.. kindly pm me your contact if keen..

No,it is 16w each..for more information,u can refer to the aquamarin web site as per below:

Specification:

Algae Scrubber ( suitable for 2 feet cube tank)

Length: 1 feet plus

See attached for details.

(any experience algae scrubber can chip in comments as well.. )

Those keen, kindly PM me your contact, will arrange to meet up and go down on Friday morning.

Location: Kaki Bukit areas.

Frankly, if I am to DIY, I will likely skip the additional black acrylics and paint those parts black (those on the side especially). Acrylic are not cheap and precise engineering cost even more. A bro here was telling me a popular Acrylic shop charges a few dollars for every holes drilled, can't imagine how much they will charge for precise engineering. You are likely to end up paying a lot more than you expected.

My concern will probably be on the joints, you do not want the box to leak or even break apart and seawater flooding your house. Both bro stevenkoh and myself have children at home which may explain why we are less adventurous, the reason why we opt for laser cut and water proofed joints done up by the professionals. I won't clean up a salt water soaked house for $150 for sure......... :thumbdown: and not forgetting all the other risks your loves ones will be facing, such as electrical hazards (the light sets are so near to water source) etc.

Humble thoughts.

PS: Go the SantaMonica's thread, I remember he designed a nano scrubber :)

Understand that some bros are keen, but unable to make a trip down Friday due to working.

I had discussed with the supplier, I will be going down on Sat ( 7 August ) morning. those interested kindly PMs me your contact so that I can discuss the meet up and timing.

Those interested, may get the PVC pipe, end cap, drain socket etc.. ready and pass to him sat too..

Regarding bro- Goondoo concern of leaking or breakage, for a small 1 feet length box using 5mm acrylic is quite strong and regid. with the base and top plate in placed and ensuring all joints are well aligned and reinforced.

Furthermore, I am engaging this supplier who is doing doing acrylic display and outdoor signage and had been in this industry for quite sometimes.

Anyway, we will ask him to provide water tighness test till collection.

My this design was similar to SM nano version.
