I use paraguard, uses it in my QT for new fishes too. So far so good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

from my online research for the same purpose, in addition to prazigold, many people also seem to keep kanaplex and furan-2 or their equivalent on hand Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Skimmer helps “plucks” the organic nutrients out from the water.

Reef is doing well and I'm removing a few pieces to declutter, making space for corals to grow out. Here's a light orange with green polyps millepora colony. Approx 5-6". 120 And a yellow tip with fluffy white polyps seriatopora colony. About fist size. 80 Please PM if interested. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Thanks for your advice. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Harvest time, Phytoplankton tetraselmis growth looking good- Green green water, seems very susceptible to cross contamination from what i read, need to handle with care Apex pods seems growing also, little buggers crawling around. Phyto and pods are good to add to tank bio diversity. Coral grafting no jutsu update Seems to be infusing more and more, red covering green, green covering back. Hopefully end result will be good. Seems only for plating monti and not all types suitable, tried dino egg monti but coral warfare [emoji24]. Next up get purple monti and see if can fuse. Maybe only red and green can graft otherwise market shld be alot of grafted variety. But just try try and enjoy the process. Helping a bro with Lobo recovery update Initial Currently, need ensure no algae growing on skeleton to help with recovery and feeding variety of coral food Original as purchased- colors are sick Hopefully will make full recovery and color up. Time for fishy update Baby bengal cardinals growing fine, feeding on TDO pallets and frozen mysis. Still looking for forever home; Pls PM me if u interested Mandarin dragonet, beautiful fish, contrary to common belief that these fishes are difficult, i find they are relatively easy to keep, key is letting ur pods establish and dun go clean ur sandbed too much to prevent killing the microfauna. I actually dont siphon my sandbed at all [emoji28]. Not too sure if barebottom can support though. The pods need to be bottom dwelling (tisbe) and not those free floating like tigger pods. Disclaimer: All above my personal opinion [emoji56] My algae blenny- looking dope as usual [emoji51] Famous yellow tang, got it for like $60 last time, now $400-$600 ridiculous pricing due to hawaii fish ban, morale of story, like bit coin u never know when the price go crazy [emoji13]. So just buy the fish u like, who knows u huat big big next time. One of the most useless fish in my tank lol, seldom see it pick algae, just waiting for pellet food, got it like 50 cent coin and grow freaking fast. Super lazy and naughty fish which will splash water out asking for food and keep attacking my coral feeder thinking its another tang. if not for the movie dory, not likely to get this fish lol. Next is the MVP of my tank, the foxface, i called it PX1 the bubble algae terminator, eats hair algae too! Next is one of my favorites, Anthias, but i not sure what species, i also didnt feed “4 times” a day for this anthias, just once a day. Probably its the easy species of anthias that dont require constant feeding. I think it’s important the fish need to fit to ur schedule rather than u fit to fish requirments, not sustainable in the long run. My clowns as usual clowning around [emoji23], surprisingly all three get along fine and no aggression seen, everybody just mind their own business Lastly one of my favorites, reef safe angle, swallow tail angle, liked the yellow hue on its forehead and back, very graceful fish Thats all! Thanks for reading my ramblings and happy reefing. Wish y’all a great week ahead. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I believe a chiller is useful. At least you don't have to worry about your tank when the mercury hits 33 or 34 degrees on some days.

Hi All, thanks for your replies. I am actually at a very early stage of deciding on getting a salty tank after convincing the wife that I can do it with sustainable sources of livestock. So I am still very much dreaming and have no equipment list to share but would basically be building a list of what I need as I discuss with fellow members on the forum. For now, I am leaning toward a red sea 200xl set up with the reefLED lights, wave makers as required. Sumpwise I would have the skimmer, would love to put a refugium of sorts in there. If I do decide to get a chiller I would probably go for one with the smaller footprint. My planned location of the tank is about 1.5 m from the window in my living room, there isn't direct sunlight on that spot. I do have a freshwater tank in the same living room, the water in the tank remains cool most of the time. I don't really trust the cheapo thermometer that I bought earlier but it registers below 30 degrees all the time. Coral wise, I am aiming for some easy to keep softies, some colorful zoas, Star Polyps, Xenias, maybe some cauliflowers(?), yuma and mushrooms. Appreciate any thoughts and opinions if any of my endevours could be foolhardy.

Hi fellow reefers, It is with great sadness that I am only writing this post after my beloved clownfish who has been with me for quite a while now has passed on. Up until a few weeks ago, it was eating well. But then suddenly, it started losing its appetite, had long stringy white poop and was very lethargic. I asked around and the consensus was that it may have been having some internal parasites or worms. So, i transferred it into a QT with same parameters as DT and dosed with PraziGold (Eiho). Left it for about 4 days but its appetite still wasn't back, so I transferred it back to DT and observed for a while. Its appetite recovered slightly whereby it ate about 1-2 pellets/mysis shrimp before losing interest. But that didn't last long. It stopped eating again. I even used garlic pellets, garlic guard, frozen mysis shrimp and nori. This time, I did the same thing, transferred into QT and dosed with PraziGold since it still had white stringy poop. This time around, I increased QT temp to about 29 deg but i drip acclimatised it first before putting it it. The next day, my clownfish was just struggling to swim and breathing very heavily. I started to panic and quickly did a freshwater dip on it for about a minute. After noticing it wasn't swimming at all in the freshwater, I prepared another saltwater bath but at 25 deg with air tube, same as DT, and placed it in. It started swimming again for awhile but was generally still lethargic. About 10min later, it died. Somehow I'm pretty sure even though it was sick, at the end perhaps I accelerated its death by doing too many sudden transfers out of sheer panic. That was stupid. This is a mistake I hope to never repeat again. But beyond that, I realised how important it is to stay calm and also be able to identify correctly and have the right medicine on hand to treat any fish diseases the moment they are discovered. What are some essential medications I must have on hand?
