Bawater.... you tried it??

You can try and let us know! Ever thought of that... but knowing the sea condition around Singapore... I am sure the mud will have a very high concentration of pollution... <_<

Ok that fish is fine... I thought for a moment it might be a leopard blenny.

You may need to sharpen your pix using a graphic program, especially when you resize them. Raising rotifers is very easy.... with live phtyoplankton. You can feed them with yeast based liquids like Roti-rich... from FAF too.

If it is extremely black... something is seriously wrong with your water. Did something die and you didn't notice? You better do a water change and monitor....

If you really want a permanent seal. You can get those 2 part epoxy and seal up. It will harden like cement.

I have never managed to find one here in SG. I use a tomato ketchup squeeze bottle.

Me?? Once I start talking... somebody SSSSSSSSSSSSTOP ME! *does a Jim Carrey impersonation* Seriously, I hope I am available. Let you guys know... If Tanzy's gonna be there... you guys will be able to hear from an experienced dude... You don't need me around!

Agree with Tanzy. AQT belongs to the old school of reef-keeping. Not staying that it doesn't work, it does but they have yet to move forward with the advances in the hobby. One of our members tried his best to tell her that his nitrates was successfully reduced with a DSB but Alice of AQT didn't believe him. Perhaps she strongly believes in the maxim that "Don't fix what's not broken".

May I comment? 1. First comp w bioballs = fine. (helps reduce ammonia, nitrites. End result = nitrates) 2. corals chips to control PH = nonsense. Who told you that? Did you confuse that with them supposedly to be a calcium buffer? Well, that's nonsense too. For coral chips or sand to dissolve and release calcium ions, they have to be subjected to very low PH eg. 5 - 6. If your PH level can drop to that low, I think your livestock should already be all dead. 3. activated carbon to remove DOC/DOM = fine. So you basically intend to use your sump to trap detritus and as a biological/mechanic filter. Your bioballs in a wet/dry compartment will trap some detritus and when that decomposes, the end result is high nitrates. You have to find a way to deal with it eg. a DSB. A coral chips DSB in a sump compartment that allows flowthru will end up a detritus trap over time. ceramic rings are for canisters where they will need something to maximise the surface area for bacteria to colonise. Bioballs in overflow does not cultivate dry bacteria (no such thing). Aerobic bacteria will be more like it. I suggest that you read up more about the basics on reef-keeping as you appear very unsure about the right setup to make. Hope that I have pointed you in the right direction but pls read as much as you can to help yourself improve in the hobby. Best of luck! AT

Pls read the Produce Review posting guidelineshere I am moving this thread out to the New to the Hobby forum.

Good review, Steno!

Note: From my experience, you may need to put a piece of transparent plastic sheet (use an old plastic bag) to cut to size and lay at the bottom of the cage as the floor has many holes for circulation. The smarter fishes will wait under the cage for food to slip thru the holes. Kelstorm... can you post a pix of your algae eating blenny? Does it have sharp teeth and many spots like a leopard?

I have a bottle of fungus treatment that I have never used. Pls pm me if you are interested...

Actually there is no law against picking up rocks from the sea. CITES prevents illegal trading in protected species... I am not smuggling any such thing for sale.. hahaha!
