Got 1 frag of stable and beautiful mindtrick zoa for trade. Open to all offer, pm to offer.

Thanks Mahesh, For the skimmer one recent development is I got fed up with tuning the dials because it continued to overflow. So lifted the skimmer physically and noted the height out of the water that would produce the ideal skimmate and placed a platform under the skimmer. Am waiting for my skimmer stand to come. Not sure if I am doing the right thing but there you go...

1. millie frag - green polyps orange base, fully encrusted. 15/20 sgd 2. radioactive birdnest colony - 50 (bigger than fist size) 3. sour apple birdnest colony - 88 (bigger than open palm size - bring own container to collect) interested whatsapp 83284194. collection at tg rhu.

Hi lextheimpaler, I would say most LFS in Singapore are able to assist you for a simple set up. Just visit any LFS near you. Most are decent in their own way! You don't have to buy anything, just talk to them. If you want to fact check, feel free to ask away in the forums. There is only really 1 shop I would avoid, especially if you are a beginner. It's located in the west. So if you live in the west, think it's not fair to name in a public forum, so just PM me to confirm or deny that is the shop I'm referring to. But as mhcraft has mentioned, it would really help to know more details for us or the LFS to assist you better. The most basic questions would be: What size of tank do you think you want? what do you roughly want to keep (fish only, soft coral, sps)? Have you maintained a marine tank before? freshwater?

All marine creatures require freshwater just as we do to survive, they just process it differently. Since their bodies are less salty than the water surrounding them, to prevent the loss of needed freshwater they take in seawater, process it to eliminate the salt molecules, and then retain the freshwater to maintain a balance with nature. When the salinity of seawater is lowered, or hyposalinity is applied, it results in a lowering of the osmotic pressure of the water at the same time, thus the related name Osmotic Shock Therapy (OST). Fish and a few other sea creatures can withstand and adjust to this change in pressure, but protozoan (Cryptocaryon/White Spot Disease, and Brooklynella/Clownfish Disease), dinoflagellate (Oodinium/Velvet or Coral Fish Disease), and flat worm (Black Spot Disease) ich organisms cannot. Reduce this necessary pressure, particularly rapidly, and they literally explode! Although delicate corals and invertebrates may not immediately rupture as ich parasites do, these too are marine animals that cannot tolerate exposure to low osmotic pressure, resulting in a rather quick death. When is hyposalinity most effective on ich? Hyposalinity is largely ineffective on mature ich parasites that are well protected in the gills surrounded by thick mucus produced by an infected fish, when embedded deep in the tissues of their host, and during the final encrusted cyst stage of life. It is primarily during the free-swimming phase of life when newborn organisms are released from a mature cyst, and before they have the chance to fully attach and develop into mature parasites that they are most vulnerable and can be eliminated with hyposalinity.

although i do not know weileong , but i can testify that his write up is proven effective against ich. Summary Isolate the fish from any invertebrates or sharks and rays Lower the salinity (specific gravity) to 12-14ppt (1.009 @ 27°C) over a 72 hour period Closely monitor the pH and specific gravity Do regular water changes with low salinity water Keep the salinity (specific gravity) at 12-14ppt (1.009 @ 27°C) for 4-6 weeks, or at least 4 weeks after the last disappearance of the "Ich". Raise the salinity to normal over a 3-7 day period. Leave an untreated display tank fishless for at least 30 days. hypo for providing a great info for everyone
