RASCAL COLLECTION presents, Project "CRAZY".
DATE of set up: Feb-May 2013
(Reason: need collect money for some of the stuff like RO/DI unit and etc. as i trying new products too and my soil expire around that period, depend on the water parameter)

Hi Guys, i going to redo my set up

I going NS soon and also my soil going to expire soon, I would like to redoing it

Even my previous/current are doing well (shrimps are breeding well), I did a lot of research and "thinking"(hahaha) on how to improve my set up. With the help/input of some master breeder in Singapore, this is what my "Blueprint" or plan for the next set up. Its nothing special or what but yeah

Please feel free to comment on it as I can improve it or if it wont work.
Thanks

go for it....look good to me...

**soonhong** · 27th Dec 2012, 22:42

Don't think good idea to place prefilter after the 2260. All the best for your new project.

**cheetf** · 27th Dec 2012, 22:53

Seems to be a copy of bro Alvinchan80's setup. Only difference is his has no chiller.

**huizhong** · 27th Dec 2012, 23:23

Looks solid. But I worry too many prefilter, 2260 may not be able to handle and motor may overheat

Hmm you right. May be i put both the EHEIM substrat pro(1st layer) and PH monoballs(2nd layer) inside the 2260. what do you think?better?
By the way thanks for you input.

Then there is no reason it should not work, since he is already using it.

Thanks for your kind words bro rascal...
But I am far from being a master and teacher.. Still learning and it's always a learning process in shrimp keeping..

Even 2 exactly same set up might have different end results at times, yours is somewhat a little different.. Hahaha.. I won't advise you to have 1 inlet right at the end though.. And the rainbar might create more problems when it's so long as well..

Happy shrimping..

**bai** · 28th Dec 2012, 12:48

Hope to see your new setup soon.

By the way why don't you put the inlet at the centre instead of the end.

Think it will helps to get your other partition water into it faster.

Just my opinion.

**AQMS** · 28th Dec 2012, 14:23

Yeah, cant wait to see your set up.
Update this post with pictures when the set up is done.

**Loudness** · 28th Dec 2012, 16:18

i'm thinking, maybe u should place the inlet in the 2nd or 3rd compartment, instead of last compartment. can have a more balanced inlet flowrate?

**rascal** · 28th Dec 2012, 21:06

hmm.. i wanted to do 4 inlet but scared about leaks as i not good with DIY,hahah. May be i go Y618 and ask the uncle to do for me or is there any place i can do?

**AQMS** · 29th Dec 2012, 09:16

Dont worry about leak problem. if you do it right it should be fine.
But with 4 inlet your suction power to the filter will decrease.

**AQMS** · 29th Dec 2012, 15:16

hey bro, you didnt mention how big is the tank.
I read you filter spec

Aq. size up to approx 1500 L
Pump output approx 2400 LPH
Power consumption 65W
Canister volume 23 L
Dimensions H x W (mm) 355 x 570

Its a big and powerful filter
If your tank is 1/4 of the water volume mention
It should be alright for 4 inlet.

Yes mine is 4ft by 1.5ft by 2ft. but i will fill it half or 3/4 only

i will try and ask Y618 uncle to ask whether he can do as i not good as DIY stuff

hahhaha btw thanks bro for your comment

**AQMS** · 29th Dec 2012, 20:58

4,1.5 by 2 with 3/4 filled is about 253L.
I think it should be alright..
Its trial and error...

**newlife** · 30th Dec 2012, 03:40

1 inlet at a compartment will end up having that compartment dirty...as it is drawing water from the rest of the compartment.
Which means waste goes thru the bottom and surface on the inlet compartment.

Rain bar going across...Erm....after going thru your prefilter, chiller....end up the water from rainbar might not be able to flow to the end.

Hope this helps....

**rascal** · 31st Dec 2012, 15:00

hmm.. wah so hard to do partitions..hahahha... hmm i try and error.. and try to re plan this

thanks guys..

**AQMS** · 31st Dec 2012, 17:55
