Scopas Tang with a clouded eye

Do a water change... sometimes it could be a drop in water quality causing an infection to last longer than it should. -
Cheers to LightningStrike! Banzai!!!

Anyway... I do wish the new forum and its founders well... it does take a LOT of effort to build up the content of any site and to generate a high level of interest to constantly keep people staying in the site. When I started SRC, I spent a LOT of sleepless nights and sacrificed hundreds of hours in starting threads, answering many many questions, posting loads of photographs, sharing my life, opening my home to countless visitors to maintain the momentum! I had to create enough trust from people to believe in what I said and did and to get their respect and convince them to share the load in helping the hobbyists. To be a helpdesk to many people, trying to inspire them, getting a lot of flak from the industry who couldn't understand or tolerate an 'awakening' from hobbyists, trying to get the co-operation of people who only thrived in strife and mayhem, dealing with people who were jealous or suspicious or hateful.... putting up with threatening phonecalls & threats....MAN!! I must have been NUTS!!!! But I guess my passion did spread to many.... and my efforts have not been in vain! I'm glad that even in the last few months of me being 'absent' from SRC did not impact the club at all! You guys rock! Especially the mods who believed in SRC's potential and gave their best.... and those who have picked up the baton to share, teach and guide the next wave of newbie hobbyists!!

SRC Reef ID Quiz #11
Achilles Tang replied to Achilles Tang's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Pineapplefish Cleidopus gloriamaris The Pineapplefish is named for its pineapple-like appearance. It has robust scales with black margins. On either side of the lower jaw is a light organ that produces a greenish glow. The colour of the light is reported to change to red as the fish ages. It grows to 25cm in length. This species is recorded from the east and west coasts of Australia, but not from Victoria and South Australia. It is often observed by divers on shallow coastal reefs, but is also trawled in deeper offshore waters. The Pineapplefish is also known as the Knightfish. The similar Japanese Pineapplefish Monocentrus japonicus also occurs in Australian waters. It can be distinguished from the Pineapplefish by its more rounded snout. -

It won't hold. Also, I don't think its as inert as silicon or hardened epoxy.

Nope... those are like 'birthmarks'! Not everything on the planet has perfect skin!

Try another brand of test kits. Sera isn't very accurate. What's your alk level? -
This Bo chap owner deserves to be kept in a small cage, walking around in his own faeces and urine with his eyes stuck shut due to pus.

Ya lah... no shame! Kekekekeke......

Chevron Tang anytime. I'm not easy to keep!

Hmmm... won't the forum become so large? There are seriously too many categories of marine species to create. Would you like a forum for sea fans? Another for tunicates? One for pistol shrimp?

how long to run a skimmer?
Achilles Tang replied to cannondale's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Regular use of activated carbon will remove that dirty yellowish tint in water. If you have a lot of detritus floating in your water, a pre-filter will help. If you want super clear water.. then ozone it... if you really know what you're doing and what you want to achieve with it.
