Seaclone 150 is a good skimmer! you can do a lot of mods on it, right?

Hi guys,

Just came back to BR on last Saturday (may-29th) and after a stressful week I got some time to update this thread.

I have to say that I have no big news on build, but I'd like to share with you guys this great experience as I dedicated a part of this trip to 'execute' my 'procurement plan'

You know what? I bought all equipments I need for this tank, so let's start with the luggages, yes! I can't check all the boxes but I checked seven luggages weighing 70 pounds / 32kg each!!!

blackberry photo...


Going to airport... bad traffic? rush hour? NO, that's 'regular' traffic down here in Sao Paulo/BR...

...
so after take a long shower, eat something and sleep, I headed to World Wide Corals




I have to thank Louis, Victor and Chris - Thank you for making me so welcome in your home!


my bad... my camera is a peace of s.hit! If you'd like to see real corals, get into World Wide Corals:





that's the first time I saw a WHITE tang... rare!




guys, believe me I have a 'poor' point and shot camera, if you really like to see great corals and colors spend some time in WWC!

Smile back on track!!!

Hi Guys,

last month was very very stressful to me - you known, every single end of quarter means financial reports, do the billing, recognize them, you know... the fuc.ing same old ****!

but let me tell you guys the news, here is thing, after my last trip where I took the opportunity to buy all my equipments, I realized that would be necessary change my project - the footprint of skimmers and its height, the height of the pumps and oceans motions plus ball valves, all the piping and its position underneath the tank, in short, the project must be revised and modified.

on my new posts I'll upload some drafts, please, feel free to criticize them.


ps: as I'm returning, I'll upload some pics from my trip, to give an idea of continuity, ok?

Hi Euler! Instead of embracing a skimmer, you can hug a crying child well, ok?! I could not help laughing at the picture ... Boy, I think it would be a child again if I saw both the first product line within the boxes so gorgeous! What a pleasure it must have been open each of these boxes ...

Still here, hoping for its beautiful design. Go out there testing everything, because when I have my home, my model will certainly be more inspiring!

Bye ...

Amazing tnak build, and even more that shopping madness ... madness i say jajjaja

What about diference in voltage ? That skimmer is 110v 50mhz and Brazil is 220v 60mhz, right ? You can just put a converter ... it will not work as it should. Or maybe i went to far, and your order a 220v ?? Perhaps ??

Best of luck

Hi Vlado, did you saw our soccer teams??? shame on us!!!!

here in my home I have both 120v/220v - all the equipment are 120v/60Hz, unfortunately electricity is not for free...

converter is not an option for pumps and other items, they'll damage in long-term. A friend of mine just got a Red Devil pump on Germany and when he come back to BR tried to use a converter/adapter, can you imagine what happened? just B.U.R.N.E.D - ****!

do you live in BA DC? I got over there a lot of times!!! amazing city!
