QUOTE(LuQEE @ Apr 11 2012, 08:58 PM) i got issues with middle glass brackets...since my tank is old's man tank 
if i cut it, i think it will weakened the structure integrity.
any advice?
any one having problems with very long branches poking out of their tanks? how do you hang your lighting then?
i prefer not to use drilling holes in the wall method. How big is your tank... how thick is the glass... middle brace or side brace? |

QUOTE(LuQEE @ Apr 11 2012, 09:12 PM) aiyaa~, wrong colour 
currently there's an unused 2ft tank in my room. its the old fashion tank, usually u see people use it as sump tank or just plain fishing hobby one.
glass thickness is pretty thin, so i guess im going to use it as my ripa or paludarium setup then since the water level will be low and the cost of maintianing these are way cheaper. bw, its just a middle brace, and all fully glass. Dont think it will hold the water preasure it may crack or silicon give way... anyhow you will end up flooding your house... |

QUOTE(jctasoga @ Apr 11 2012, 09:31 PM) calvin is right. 4mm too thin. if u look at the glass frm the side, u could probably see the glass 'bulging' or have a 'pregnant' state. it shows its about to burst!! take no chances pls...

QUOTE(cute_miao @ Apr 12 2012, 09:37 AM) Morning, Just to my curiosity, did u transfered your previous soil to new tank? want to ask, i am planning to chg to 2f tank. i wonder the soil from old tank, how to transfer it out? do i need to make it dry 1st? or directly can use and put in the base of new tank? then cover with 1 layer of new soil? I just scoop the old soil (I think I take 1/2 of it dispose another 1/2 since all turn to mud) then new aquarium I put in Lava Rock follow by old soil and use it to create slope then add bacteria powder (not much just a little since old soil got some bacteria) and add new soil (ADA normal and Ada fine soil) settle hehehe... you can see my pic there the bottom part is muddy thats because it is old soil |

QUOTE(cute_miao @ Apr 12 2012, 11:41 AM) then set up the tank in the fridge? hahahaha... i was walking in midvalley lz time, n i saw this product in ACEWARE shop..said it helps to reduce electric..is it true? any1 used it? Chiller + light + solenoid + cannister = TNB  used it before it works by converting dirty current to stable energy... for aircond and chiller it should works as when the energy spike when the chiller kick in the device which has tons of capacitor which store un-used energy will compensate for initial current spike which mean your TNB meter disc will not suddenly turn fast but maintain the speed which help on reducing the electric bill... as for light bulb and selenoid I doubt will see any different... if want super energy efficient light should convert to LED... if want chiller without killing your wallet look for TEM chiller (Dolphin chiller) which will reduce the temperature and not so hurt your wallet... also FAN lor... but TEM and FAN can only do that much... Selenoid not much power draw... canister... I think eheim pretty energy efficient |

hahaha... it works this way Cheap but low cooling = Fan (TNB cheapest) not so cheap but offer better cooling than FAN = TEM (TNB - Cheap) Expensive but AWESOME cooling = Chiller (TNB - OK laaa) SUPER EXPENSIVE but AWESOME for aquarium and room = Aircon  (24/7 might as well setup your aquarium @ office) |

QUOTE(cute_miao @ Apr 12 2012, 12:12 PM) Good explanations... My current tank is still in 30.3celcius  that also with a BOYU Fan. I wonder with the TEM, how much it will reduce to now w/o modifications ^^ you want I can borrow you to try... hahaha since I have no chance to tryout the TEM...yet.... hahaha now with a proper chiller the TEM will be put a side until I figure what to do with it... makesure the TEM or your aquarium is a room... the TEM chiller fan is super noisy... hahaha I still wanting to mod to better heatsink and more quiet fan... really kenot tahan the fan noise This post has been edited by calvin_ng: Apr 12 2012, 01:25 PM |

Confirm staghorn algae... hair algae is much lighter in colour and dont branch out... This is staghorn why I got a bunch in my nanotank now treating with OF O' Algae... it works extreamly good now all my algae turn red... |

Added on April 13, 2012, 2:11 pmyour shrimps will become snack to them, very barbarian fish. Did you guys try b4 with ghost shrimp, i once drop a hair & staghorn infected java fern into ghost shrimps tank , within a week all algae gone, 'satu bulu pun tak nampak'. so far my RCS, guppy fry, RCS fry, oto and yamato shrimp still alive... oh put airstone and turn off co2 during medication... airstone (airpump) super very important... |

use filtered water (RO the best) as it will benchmark the indicator... sometime our tap water got problem 88 aquarium tell me.. it will render the indicator not accurate
