Hi livloyalist, 1+ on what Peter said. Using some of the old water may help too... But you must make sure you have not allowed any die off in the live rock and filter media during the transfer. i.e no drying out, no stale water for hours, no extended freshwater soak etc.. When I migrated from my old to new tank, i actually got new live rocks and new media and went through a couple of weeks of cycling and introduced my fish without problems. I wanted to reuse some of my old media so i transfered them to the new sump as well. However, I made the mistake of keeping my old filter media in a pail of water without flow or pumped air for hours. Hours after I introduced the filter media, I found all my fish in hiding and near death. In the end, i was very fortunate to have only one death after I rescued all survivors and put them back into the old/quarantine tank. I believe the old media experienced die off and release some toxins into my tank....

I can play the video, so the quoted post somemore...

Hi bro, Don't know if you have had the experience of trying to scape a 'tall' tank but I can tell you from personal experience that my arms are not long enough even for my 2.5 feet height. A 3 ft height.... i think you will have to scape from inside..... you may want to reconsider that....

Bro, If you are seriously looking for maroon clown, let me know

I think you can afford to harvest the chaeto weekly provided your fish can poop enough to feed the algae.....

Just look at the chaeto tank thread for inspiration on chaeto cultivation...

Looks like a nudi to me....

you are using a MH 150W for an algae tank!???!! Your nutrients should be really low....

Oh dear! Maybe you should put something to block your overflow to prevent more casualties..

We are refering in general to copepods. Please read up on the care of your livestock....

PODS!!! mandarin only each pods! 2 months!!! Please check if his tummy is sunken in..... if not, then he is probably finding pods in your tank. If he is very skinny, he could up lorry soon......

Thanks for the snails, bro!

Hi bro, You already provide the best care you could for the fishie and allowed it to reach its potential ... It was just its time to make a splash in the giant fishbowl in heaven.......

I think many fish generally love pods. My entire tank goes after my arctipods. And once i put a chromis into a pod infested tank for 30 minutes... it decimated the population and the pods have not recovered since.... You need lots of pods for mandarins

Hi Akatsuki, Resent my pm last week again.

Desi want to strip search all the bros??!!!

Can consider if the price is right!

Bro reaper, Take up AhSiang's suggestion and you can become Iwarna NSW reseller! Everyone in the west can come buy the NSW packets from you!

I only buy corals from other reefers because I don't dare to buy from the LFS not knowing the price ranges.

Can newbies rent a jackywong or peter consultant for a coral buying trip then?

Hmm... maybe we can look forward to a lelong sale for this new tank next year then! Not using a a skimmer in this one?

Congrats on a great looking tank Bino! Am I mistaken or are you upgrading your tank once a year?

No need to control. Just pass a few to me!

bro reaper if you need chaeto can look for me.

Live rock cooking is quite tedious and have to do a few rounds. But I think at minimal you could give your dried rocks a soak, a good scrubbing if possible, and wash and soak again. That should remove most stuff except for the phosphate deep in the rock. like jacky mentioned, i think most people don't bother to 'cook' their rocks to remove the embedded phosphate. Btw, when we say cook, we don't mean cook on over a fire....
