Am poisoned by "equipment freak" XiaoLong aka David ...

personally believe in using heaters to retain consistant temperature in tank ...

some may query and comment that singapore temperature is within 27-30 degrees thats optimal for tropical fishes ... where essentially, we are already within tropical region ...

despite above, I believe that water temperature will flunctuate throughout the day esp when tanks aint place in strategically well locations like balconies and near air-con areas where temp difference can be pretty drastic ...

Will comment on reliability after my purchase from NKS ...

so why dymax heaters? or wats attracting me?

digital leh ... looks more "Sud" and steady than those "turn turn" dunno working type heater that needs thermometer leh ..

Sotong if you want I can lend you my Tetra heaters. Got quite a few lying at home. They are very reliable so no need thermometers and by the way I think now got no more heaters that need to constantly monitor temperature one.

By the way the digital part attracts me too

Solid looks, but how big will the hole in my pocket become?
Also, Dymax reliability vs Jager/Rena?

I'm currently using Rena .. but it seems to me that only Dymax ones comes in digital form .. and thats attracting me ...

Reliability dunno ... which speaks why I'm buying to test ...

I'm getting quite a reasonable quantity from NKS for all my unstrategically placed tanks ... so anyone wanna join the band wagon of "Mass-order" ... can consider harassing the "evil merchant" ... aeroplanes will be shot and placed on O $ P $

I've enquired pricing from benjamin of petmart ... and its doesnt seem to deviate too much from tetra or rena heaters ... guess that should place most individuals at ease ...

Now that I recall .. it comes in the following watts:
- DH50 > 50 watts
- DH100 > 100 watts (2 ft tank size)
- DH200 > 200 watts (3ft)
- DH300 > 300 watts (4 ft - 5ft)

as long as shop is there with models to take .. shouldnt have any issues ...

forewords that this workshop is mainly targetted for beginner/amateur photographers with camera that offer manual functions like shutter, aperature and focus functions ...

[akoh]

Photo workshop - One of PCS members privileges ! :D:D

[celticfish]

cool beans!
manual tips would be exactly what i need to brush up on.
hopefully timing is afternoon or evening... :D
sunday is usually tidoh and area cleaning of tanks.

[lyh]

[celticfish]

[SoToNgMaN]

thats what i was thinking too but may be press for timing this saturday.
got to go back to office.
have you guys firmed a timing yet?
hopefully 12pm - 2 pm ... just in case that I may have to return to office ...

if u have a laptop ... do bring it along .. cos bigger screen easier to analyse your images ...

Things I'll cover:
- Wats aperature and how it affects images
- Shutter speed in conjunction with aperature
- ISO or older term ASA ... how does it affect images + its pros & cons
- photography is all about light. How will light sources affect our images and how to adequately impose more lights.
- If got time, hopefully can cover refraction resulting from glass tanks.

To be frank .. 2 hours .. cant cover everything also .. and hopefully everyone is punctual so that things can go smoothly.

Hi, u can check with NKS Boss, to get him to order for u.
Currently, he only have 4x100W left in his shop.

So far, tested both heaters, they're both able to hit 30deg, which I set for my tank, but as currently still cycling tanks with feeder fishes, so not a good gauge. Will feedback after I get all my aros & plecos back & into their tanks :D

:confused: What do you mean by not a good gauge? The tank cycling or not will affect the heater one meh?

It's like in air-con room, same set temp, different no. of ppl, the air con compressor also need to work harder.
So for heater, the time taken to reach the same set temp will also be dependent on the no. of inhabitants in the tank :rolleyes:

got like that one meh?

tot its more dependent on circulation within the tank?

[akoh]

Still dun understand why you guys need a heater ! :confused: I'm looking at buying a chiller to cool down the temperature !. Certain parts of amazon, the water is cold especially those rocky and fast flowing rivers. :)

Ai yoh.... Not everyone keep plecs that come from the rocky and fast flowing river leh :p at least not for me

[peckio]

Yah, more crowded, there'll be more obstacles to the flow of the tank mah :p

Yah, if I can keep those type of plecos living in cold, rocky waters, I'll also be getting chiller, but then, my plecos are those that prefer warm water cond lor :D

[akoh]

All plecs including Scobbies and panaques will do well in cooler water.

In my planted tank ( earlier years ), I've kept L14 ( juvenile ), altum angels, gold nugget in 25 degree C of water and their body colouration were very champion !.

Previously with PH or submersible pump ( for OHF system, it generate heat ), my water temperature was around 30 degree C and all my panaque are fanning like crazy, aftering removing the PH and submersible to eliminate the heat, also on mishaps and also cut down on electric bills, the temperature has dropped to 28 to 29 degree C, the panaques have stopped fanning and furthermore grow very long chew chew ! you wanna see ? :D

Anyway the choice is yours ! I'm just giving you guys a thinker, do whatever suit you. Cheers ! :D

[akoh]

Studies has shows that the temperature in River Xingu is from 25 to 29 degree C.

Bro i would suggest you to feedback to the boss that the wire given is too short so that Dymax can take note of this. I thank you for making this known to the rest of the community
