A Poor Man's Nano Reef Aquarium

Postby diatoms » Tue Sep 20, 2011 2:03 pm

Good day to all RP members.

Matagal ko ng gustong mag-setup ng isang reef aquarium, 10 yrs. ago pa.(Halata tuloy na may edad na ko...hahaha)
Sobra mahal kasi ng mga equipments noon at malaki yata ang magagastos sa kuryente kaya hindi ko naituloy.
Pero patuloy pa rin ako sa pagbabasa ng mga infos sa internet tulad ng RP site.
Paborito ko nga ang site ng GARF(Geothermal Aquaculture Research Foundation) noon,
kung saan maraming infos sa pag-culture ng corals.

Lalo akong naenganyo mag-setup ng reef aquarium noong magtrabaho ako sa abroad.Yung employer/boss ko, tatlo ang nano reef nya sa office.

Kaya lang nagkasakit ako sa abroad at tuluyan ng napauwi dito sa P'nas. Pero gusto ko pa rin
mag-setup ng isang reef aquarium sa bahay para may libangan habang nagpapagaling at pang alis ng stress.

Maliit lang ang budget ko sa pag-setup at kailangan ay matipid rin sa kuryente, kaya pinaplano ko munang mabuti.
Wala na kasi akong pinagkakakitaan kundi ang maliit na sari-sari store sa harap ng bahay namin.
Pero palagay ko hindi naman hadlang ang kahirapan sa buhay kung gustong matupad ng isang tao ang mga balak niya.

May kasabihan nga tayo na - "Kung ayaw may dahilan, kung gusto palaging may paraan". Parang kanta ni Rico Blanco...hehehe

Will try to update this thread with infos and pictures para na rin ma-share ang "experiences" ko sa hobby na ito at siguro ay humingi na rin ng tulong sa mga makabagong paraan ng pag setup ng isang reef aquarium sa mga gurus at veteran members ng RP.

welcome sa RP diatoms, madami members dito na hindi rin naman may kamahalan ang setups in fact mas marami padin ang may nano setup kasi mas affordable sya... isa nako dun, refugium ko diy, tank ko old school na 15 gals, mas onte ang gastos sa fowlr na nano and i believe hindi ka mahihirapan imaintain to... learn the basics muna, gather infos and see members tanks para magkaron ka ideas.. and dont hesitate to ask question.. goodluck :D

@pepperghost
Nag-rent kami dati ng maliit na apartment sa may molave st., malapit sa
marcos hi-way, boundary ng pasig at calumpang marikina.
Lumipat na kami sa Q.C. pero yung sa Pasig pa rin ginagamit kong address.
Dami ko kasi iniiwasan at pinagtataguan na pinagkakautangan...hehehe :lol:

Update ko photo ng aquarium na gagamitin ko. Pero pag nakaipon na ako,
balak kong magpagawa sa kapitbhay namin na dating OFw rin na marunong sa mga salamin.
Meron kasi akong gusto na "design" na naisip. Napulot ko sa ibat-ibang info
dito sa RP forum.

Sa ngayon ayusin ko muna itong nahingi kong lumang aquarium ng pinsan ko.
15 gallons na patayo.

good luck bro,, pero unahan na kita,, there is no such thing as "poor man's saltwater tank" mapa nano or mapa mega tank,, my first plan was to build a lower than 5k tank and of course it didnt push thru,, sa ngayon ayoko na kwentahin ang gastos masaya naman ako e :)

@tugasi & pepperghost
Oo nga noh...tama nga kayo, medyo libo rin ang gagastusin ng project kong ito.
Nakita ko sa sulit, sa FEV marine pet shop Q.C.,medyo mahal nga mga equipments.
Nagtext ako sa kanila, mahal ang 1 kilo ng live rocks sa kanila.
Pero may items silang mura, balak kong bilhin in the near future.
Pag may time, sama ko pamangkin ko sa cartimar(taga-buhat ng mabigat...hehehe) para bumili ng live rocks.
Nabasa ko dito sa RP na mas mura doon.Sa bus namin isasakay pauwi, bawal yata
yun sa LRT/ MRT.

For now, sisikapin kong mapababa ang gagastusin ko.

May nahingi akong pinaglumaan na powerhead pump ng kapatid ko.
Pang 20 gallons yun,OK pa naman sya.

Image

Nung ni repair yung linya ng tubig sa amin may mga naitago akong pinaglumaan na tubo,
pwede ko pa sigurong magamit yun.

Image

Gagamitin ko namang sump ay yung butas na 20 gallon plastic water container namin.
Tatapalan ko na lang ng marine epoxy para tumibay.

Unang gastos, 150 petot yata ang marine epoxy.
Hehehe...Ok lang, marami naman akong pag-gagamitan
nito.

Forgot to say, 12"x12"x24" yata ang dimension ng upright aquarium na naarbor ko.
May bahagyang basag sa likod, kaya hindi ko na kailangang magpabutas.
Doon ko na lang isasalpak yung tubo at tatapalan ng epoxy, para sa labasan ng tubig
papunta sa sump.

Will update and post some more pics by next week.

Pag walang customer dito sa tindahan, binabasa ko mga thread nyo-pepperghost,adamwarlock,seaturtle and
many others. Ang ganda ng mga infos, laking tulong talaga.

Bantay ako dito sa sari-sari store namin kaya siguradong makikibalita na lang ako dito sa forum
ng "RP meet & greet on September 24 2011 @ marine hub 2PM".
Happy Saturday to all RP members. :D

there are tons of free items just waiting to be pick up sa aqurium related sir, mapa Live Sand or Live Rocks pati Live Stocks meron, abang ka lang ng mga magpapalit or mag-upgrade. Ready ka kasi mabilis ding mawala (dami ding ibang nag-aabang) and also if I were you go get a second hand tank built for a nano tank mas ok yung may butas na and not yung galing sa basag then tatapalan mo lang, kasi in the future and you decide to put LS na, mapapansin mong di kagandahan yung likod mo kasi may tapal then eventually magpapalit ka hehe, then thats the hard part nanaman diba. start correctly na sir
Success is to be measured, not so much by the position that one has reached in life...
but by the obstacles which he has overcome...

the more na nagtitipid ka the more na mapapamahal ka.....

ang mga hindi pwede tipirin...
Display tank ( kung need mo malaman kung ano mas tipid na path i suggest go for the cube tank related ang tank dimensions sa ilaw na gagamitin mo)
Lighting (kung mag corals ka)
Skimmer (yung magandang klase na kaya yung livestock mo sa future)

ang mga pwede tipirin...
SUMP ( pwede ka mag DIY nito ) kuha ka lang ng lumang aquarium ( meron ka na nito) at bili ng glass... silicone na lang kailangan pwede na... ( P150 silicone P130 yung baril=280)
FISH ( hanap ka lang ng mga pwede i adopt or sa cartimar na good quality na nirereject sa export na mura)

tip:
bago ka bili ng bagay ask mo na lang mga gurus dito baka may alam sila na mas mura at mas tipid na alternative... laki masasave mo pero need mo timbangin kung dapat ba tipirin kasi pag tinipid mo lahat eh mapapamahal ka lalo kasi bibili ka ulit...
