What pump are you using to drive water thrOugh that coil? Think it'll kill quite a fair bit of flow.

The 28A is good? I heard many good things about it. But your kick in timing really very long leh, is it underpowered for the job?

Bro Navanod no la i ain't a DIY King like i said i adopt the idea from taiwanese no thanks to Bro Alan aka Eviltrain poison (Bro Alan is the one and only DIY king and master) hahahaha (He damn poisonous) We were discussing mulitple tank he at 1st suggested to me to do overflow which i express not comfortable with it. Than 1 day he come poison me with all this picture he read on Taiwan shrimp hobbist and the rest no to mention hahahaha.

I running ehiem 2028 after looking at i doubt is the canister i suspect is the chiller HS28A (It is good quiet but i think it is underpower to do this setup) I will be revamping again this time i think i will hook up to the resun 280 to try it.

Bro Avex....at 1st saw the bends of the stainless steel pipes thought it was done with your bear hands...wahahaha....ArmStrong....
Bro...I saw this at a Taiwanese Thread too...but do you have any idea if there is anyway if those pipings can be hidden?

By the way...there is 2 things I would like to Know....
1)The center bottle in between those coil is K1 Moving Media?
2)The bag of Black things on the Right is Active Carbon?
Or both are secret recipe?

Hahaha you see me very very up i did try to bend on my own (borrow the piping bender from a piping contractor on my site)
1st experience the pipe is out of shape and it crack at the bend
2nd experience those pipe bought from hardware shop rust at the cut join(their so call stainless steel give me a shock lucky i never setup on impulse thanks to Bro alan aka eviltrain reminder)

Hidden yes i thought of it using a acrylic to divide the tank conceal it but hmm cannot find oqapue one all transparent pc. If use oyama paper i don't think it will work. another way is to conceal it with a moss wall but worried that is shrimp die and trap behind than LL. So end up all idea i scape cause i not breeding or doing it for show case i just want to enjoy the hobby to the fullest so i guess this little ugly problem can close 1 eye

I was about to give up then i recall my supplier might have lobang so i contract him and buy him kopi for help after about almost 2 weeks he came back with good news that was my happiest moment. With the thickness it need to be machine bend if you purchase from hardware shop it is those towel rod very thin and light. This piece is pretty heavy due to the thickness.

Now to ans no secret recipe lah you think cooking meh hahaha

1) yes K1 moving media from another establise tank i using it to help kick start my BB colony
2) Yes active carbon also using it to remove impurity in my 2nd tank due to the reuse of benibachi soil also it was sitting in my above tank for a mth so i use it to help also to kick start my BB colony.

There answer liao nothing to hide no secret recipe one.

Bro, put a fan to blow away the heat, this might help... just my noob sense...

Yea will try hahaha but currently i can confirm HS28A is underpower to serve this setup. So will need to look around later on

**goody992828** · 3rd Aug 2011, 21:14

Yup max will be 3 ft tank anything more than that will be under power for sure.

Think you can try PM bro avex about this..

**Jon-san** · 11th Oct 2011, 02:04

Bro, 1 suggestion. Can go to Popular and buy 1 of those big sheets of corrugated plastic boards ($3.15 per piece), cut it to size and slot it into your tank in front of the SS pipes to hide them from view. That way, water flow is still good, yet aesthetically, looks great too!

Edit: many colours to choose from too!

Hi i got my supplier whom is supplying material to the company i working in now to help. Most places don't sell you short lenght unless you really so lucky some raw material hardware shop have some short length surplus. I got my supplier to help me including the bending.I got my supplier to purchase a 6 m lenght for me and i left the pipe with him.
