Anyone play Dark Age of Chamelot? The trial of Altantis expansion is coming soon (released in U.S). I'm waiting for World of Warcraft now.

I also think its due to introduction of fishes. Every new intro will cause a new cycle thus result in the crash. Since its 2ft, problems will be very unforgiving.

Anyone can ID this? Is it button or sea mat? Thanks faa38adb.jpg.orig

Do u mean u release the shrimp after 5-10mins or add water every 5 - 10 mins? For me, I leave the bag in tank for half hr than add water every 5-10 mins until bag has 3x its original amount. My shrimp had been happy in my tank. The whole process will take at least 1.5 hrs b4 shrimp is release into tank. Btw, I have 2 skunk and 2 boxer. Cheers

Since ur Sump is as big as ur main tank, it may be better to create dsb there instead? maybe up to 6"? Many people dun recommend bio-ball so it really up to ur preference. As for skimmer, i think combine capacity of ur tank and sump will be better if u hav 2014. You got to calculate the actual amount. Just my 2 cents

I see. CoolMaster. Gd stuff but its 6x my pc fan. $$ no enough

Washing ur sand bed? Tot we not suppose to touch the sand bed? Maybe u can list out the various parameter of ur tank? Acclimisation process?

For my boxer shrimp, it lost part of its spincer due to some fighting and it did "grow" back after molting. However, not sure if it will grow back for the whole arm. Just to share my experience.

How much u paid for those fans with blue lights? Maybe I can upgrade my diy fan to have such effect also. hee

I think our guru here need to know more on ur setup, Tank size, equipments, feeding habits, acclimisation, etc. It's will be a gd lerning experience for all of us too.

Hi Guys, you may want to look at this thread for more info on lightings.

Any new addition recently, fish, anemone?

Wah. Moonlight effect!! cool... Saw at RC a guy diy moonlight using bright blue LED, same effect also.

Ya. Isn't Bukit Panjang in the west?

Actually, it still serve its purpose since nitrate above 50mg/l is definitely too high liao.

I think u should reduce the nitrate and the salinity too. SKUNK shrimp are normally more expensive than coral banded shrimp aka boxing shrimp.

Very nice. Maybe a zoom out pic also?

Just you might have to try lower the nitrate to below 20ppm although I doubt that's the reason. Any expert can confirm? Btw, are the two shrimp you get the small one? Maybe because of that need better control acclimitization.

I used to have high nitrate after cycling too. But manage to get it down to 12.5mg/l since. Was having problem trying to figure out which zone it falls in. Luckly, 12.5mg/l color is quite obviuos to me.

I see. You adjusted chris pic with brightness and contrast. Stupid me.

I had mine in the tank for 1/2 hr then add ard 1/6 of water in the bag from my tank until the bag has at least 3x the original amount. Heard that shrimp are sensitive to copper. Any chance that u have copper trace in your tank?

Hi seahorse, just can't wait to get my hand on ur pink yuma.

Hi Spider, how u manage to make ur tetra color chart so clear? If u compare the pic from chris, the color difference for the last 3 zone is not obvious. I'm using tetra for NO3 also and my chart is similar to Chris type. Can advise. thks

I saw carrefour selling too. Dun know how to use after reading the cover still.

Dun know if u had seen this website. A little preview b4 heading down.
