  1. Another reefer that keep big fishes in awfully small tank, please sell it to someone with a bigger tank or upgrade to a bigger tank if you want to keep big angels.
  2. Boss that is a normal peppermint hogfish, the supplier mis labelled it.
  3. Ignorance to the max, reason why we cant go far..

  4. LOL!!! Free Yellow watchman goby...
  5. Have two extra Anemone to sell.. 1) Green Carpet Anemone @ $20 2) Green Center Orange Tube Anemone @ $35 Dont have any actual photo now.. But they are healthy in my sump now..
  6. Hehe, it is my nano tank not main tank.. Tank: OF Nano Space 3, 1ft by 1ft by 14inch Skimmer: Air driven skimmer Wavemaker: Hydor Nano and a 300ltr pump Others: Bacteria House, Black Filter Sponge, Modded dymax fan if you want.. Live rock included also.. Selling whole set at $120..
  7. I dunno why but I can't seems to see your photo.. I presume they are hitch hiker? I also have white sponge that is encrusting in my refugium... which is before I started doing these things.. a lot is still not known about sponges, there might be other factors that we have or dun have that cause these to flourish or die.. But one thing which I know from two other azoox reefer is that those small piece of hitch hikers sponge are easier to flourish and maintain in our tank..
  8. Still in the progress of experimentation of sponges, after research on its diet and placement.. Because they take in bacteria and phyto, I increased my dosage of phytoplankton in my food mix and dosing bacteria weekly... As there are not much research on which bacteria they take in, be it size and amount... Current time frame is two months, which is still considered short for any azoox but at least I am seeing some results... The targeted sponge is the common purple branching sponge, I managed to find a giant one for testing at CF, was packed and handled in a good way at least in CF, whatever the collector did is pretty out of our control, depends on luck.. The sponge was doing well for 1-2 weeks before something happened.. It started to turn grey on the surface of the sponge and after that they become thinner but it is not dying as it is back to its healthy state, just thinner.. this continued for every week before it stop 2 weeks back.. It is encrusting well to any part of the rock that the sponge have contact with.. it is excrusting very well on several rocks and spreading... This helps them as the flow in our tank is different from where they come from and with contact they will start to encrusted and be stable.. Some findings that we can concluded from here, though not really very details or substantive but just some reference for future reefer who are trying azoox sponges. 1) The weekly dosing of bacteria - increase density of bacteria 2) Good and strong flow - helps in removing dirt and detritus from the sponge 3) Increase in food supply - helps in preventing starvation 4) Maximize surface contact - help in stabilizing the sponge In short, sponges are still difficult for average reefers and I still do not encourage reefers to buy them if you do not wanna take effort in providing what they need.. The information that I have provided is just my own findings within a short time frame, I do not see it as a success but it is show positive results so far..
  9. Got a big colony of pipe organ to let go as my anemone decide to have its home under the colony. It is normal pipe organ.. Selling @ $30.. Collection at Jurong west ave 3. Please bring along a BIG plastic bag.
  10. Any idea from there.. it does looks like a few different fishes, looks like goby, fusilier and some small species bass. if it is really a hoplatilatus then it might be hoplotilatus cuniculus.. it might be stressed color that the tail show this color?
  11. Selling a fluorescent Orange tube anemone @ $18..
