no more pics liao.. sold it away..u can do a google on Rio Nano protein skimmer. it looks exactly like a hang on filter but much bigger in size .
anyway.. i saw u on SRC... seems like u are going to go into marine !!

Something to share for such a small set up..
problems:
-using a fan to chill down the tank causes evaporation. hence salinity fluctuates.
-each top up with distilled water causes pH to fluctuates(if u are not diligent enough to top up everyday and topping more on alternate days). distilled water has a pH of 7 while marine tanks need to maintain at a pH of 8.3 optimum.
-each water change causes parameters to fluctuate and not recommended as marine fishes and invertebrates are quite sensitive.
-unable to stock up more and fishes makes this hobby quite boring with a small tank. unless u are contented with just a few small fishes and a few corals.
so my advice is to go for as big a tank you can possibly afford.
thats the few problems making me hesitate!
it is quite of a problem but water topping up issue can be resolved with a hamster bottle for a small tank or u have better idea of an auto top off.

If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

upgraded to 2ft cube... scaping is ugly.. don dare show. haha.. gonna rescape soon.. the planted tank u saw last time already given away to my friend. planting is fun but marine seems kinda challenging and more interesting with all the funny corals.
evolutionz, i think better not drip ur aro tank into ur tank. u don know what u gonna introduce man.. recommended to top up with RO/DI water . what do u think of the hamster bottle ?
DI water expensive leh.. haha... i read that for zoas and mushrooms, DI is not really needed.. just tap water + conditioner.. i guess that hamster bottle is workable.
oh ya.. i just forgot that my tank is small! haha..
ya get from ntuc.. initially i dilligently carry them back from ntuc.. but after a 2 times, what goes in is tap water !!
haha..i wondered anyone used the jebo 178 protein skimmer? issit a good replacement for a wave maker? since it can skim, it is a filter with 900l/hr flowrate..
