Another Project by CW

Posted: March 11th, 2012, 11:33am CDT by CW

Hey PPL

Im doing another project.
For now im just gona move my second tank to the living room.
Ill see when ive got some cash later then ill redo the DT with new glass.

Or maybe ill just build a new and bigger setup in the same space.

Ive always wanted to do a tank here and then use it as a room devider.
Now im doing it.

Ive cleaned the floor a bit. Just to show where the tank will be ending up.
Im not gona tile the floor now, ill do that later maybe. In the living room im gona tile anyway and the room im gona put a new carpet later on so don't really care mutch about the carpet i stuffed up. hehe.

Have a look.

What can high TDS cause?

Posted: January 31st, 2012, 7:11pm CST by CW

Hi PPL

Just would like to know what is the effect on a tank with RO water with i high TDS.

I tested my TDS on RO unit water today.
OOPS, TDS was 63.
Very high.

But everything seems fine in my tank.
I got 3new membranes today and replaced the old ones.
To my knowledge i have to replace them every 6monts and the top membranes once every 2years.
Ive got a 6stage RO system cos i use the water for drinking as well.

Any tips or input welcome.

Need some advice on a skimmer.

CW`s third reef

Posted: December 15th, 2011, 8:43am CST by CW

Hi there PPL

This Hobby has really crabbed me.
I just cant get out. HEHE

I disassembled my first reef last night cos im selling it and ive already moved all my live stock to the second tank wich is doing great already.

The reason why i wanted to do the second reef was firstly to hold coral only.
Then i decided to setup the second tank and then move all my live stock from the first tank to the second one so i could sell the first setup and tile the floor.

And then i would have started a design on a CUBE setup after the floor was tiled.
But this morning when me, my wife and little boy (still in mommies tummy) had breakfast in the living room. My wife gave me a brilliant idea.

I want to do my third setup on the same spot where i currently have my LR holding tank.

This is the same spot im thinking of putting the DT and sump.

My ideas so far"

Space - 1580mm x 400mm i think
DT - 1000mm (L) x 400mm (W) x 400 or 450mm (H)
So give or take ill have about 160L DT
Sump - 500mm (L) x 400mm (W) x 450mm (H)

So ill have a small sump so ill have to think more in the line of a Seachem Matrix filtration system or NP pellets.

So what you think PPL?
Any ideas?

CW`s second reef

Posted: September 7th, 2011, 1:05am CDT by CW

Hi there PPL

CW`s back.:thumbup:
Ive decided to build another tank since i got a 6mm 1220x500x440 tank for free and a 5mm 915x320x380 for FREEEEEEEE.

Bummer was both tanks had a cracked bottom. MMMM sounds like some adult movie. hehe

Well then.
Ive striped both tanks and already got the new bottom 8mm for the 1.2m (DT)
Still need to get the 6mm bottom for the 915mm sump. Ill order it tomorow.

Then ill also have to get my silicon (BLACK) and i also need to get the rest of the glass i will be bracing the DT with and dividing the sump chambers.

Oh ja, also have to build a stand.

The one reason im building a second setup is cos i want to brake down my current setup to tile the lounge and either sell it or just rebuild the DT with new glass and different overflow or ill sell it and build a cube. mmmm dono yet.

Second reason im building this tank i cant tell you yet.
You will just have to wait ppl. Sorrryyyyy:tt2:

So heres some pics.

Sump glass nice and clean.

DT glass also nice and clean and new 8mm bottom in front

The two cracked bottoms.
