OMG those are flatowrms I had some on my yumas but somehow they had disappeared. Get rid of them ASAP!!!!

Haha...just did a water change yesterday Actually the imbalance is very minute at 470ppm Hopefully it will drop by today

Actually the cabonates that you find in kalkwasser is mostly in the form of CaCO3 and this is the insoluble layer at the top when the kalkwasser is exposed to CO2 in the air. Best way to give the best of both worlds is to run a CR and drip kalkwasser

I know, I've posted this many times over

Yes I am experiencing a slight ionic imbalance with calcium Will consider getting an ozone generator if i can find a cheap ORP controller. Looking for SPS frags this few days. Hope if you guys frag can pass some to me

Maybe after some TLC, it might just turn out to be like my rhodactis Anyway, was hoping to get some new SPS frags though

Hi guys, I am selling my crocea and leather coral due some incompatibility issues. The crocea is blue with some patterns on the mantle and the leather is generally quite big about palm size with lightly green fluorescent polyps. Both crocea and leather are going at $10 each Collection at Pasir Ris PM me or SMS me at 96568361

Was thinking of going LFSing this weekend as school gonna reopen Too bad my dad got appointment and cannot drive me around Anyway, any updates on the east and central?

How come that giant yuma still in the plastic box?

Yes I posted a thread on it some time ago on the maxi jets Seems like it works though

I think no matter how much you try to remove the flatoworms and their eggs, total success rate is very slim as you do not know where there might still be eggs and especially when your tank is so big with so many colonies of SPS. So unless you take out all colonies and inspect all LR and surfaces, you are probably fighting a losing battle as these guys will keep coming and you will lose more colonies. I really wish you all the best in your war with the flatworms and may you win in the end

My water had been a little cloudy for a few days already Don't know what the reason for this is though. Have changed carbon and run super wet skimmate still not crystal clear. Anyone know of any way to make the water more clear other than using ozone?

Why not sell off all the specimens instead?

Nah, I cannot compare to Anthony He is my Master

You must separate the eggs from the other fishes or else they will be eaten

I strongly advise you to use a FR to run Rowa from day 1

Also take note that the aerobic autotrophs will synthesize food from light and that's why they are found in the surface zone.

Plant some macroalgae in the compartment

Yeah I was about to correct that statement but I need more info Thanks a lot decentkid

I had just reviewed this thread and I had prepared a follow up on the sandbed article. From Ammonium to Nitrogen As previously stated, in a zone which is totally anaerobic, ammonium will be produced rather than nitrogen gas. This can be a problem as ammonium is a very good fertiliser for nuisance algae. But recent research conducted in the Black Sea found that bacterium from the order Planctomycetales is able to convert ammonium to nitrogen gas together with nitrite. This process termed Anammox stands for anaerobic ammonium oxidation. Nutrient profiles, fluorescent RNA probes, 15N tracer experiments and the distribution of specific "ladderane" membrane lipids show that the ammonium that is diffusing upwards is consumed by anammox bacteria just below the aerobic zone. This shows that anammox actually plays a part in the Nitrogen Cycle in the sea and occurances in captive systems is a new field that is worth researching. By showing how deeper sandbeds can actually be a zone for the colonisation of anammox bacteria might just unlock a new methodology for sandbed keeping and who knows what benefits it can hold? Next up will be a follow up on the black substance usually found in sandbeds so stay tuned!! The above information about anammox bacteria are from nature publishing group, www.nature.com

Sandbed dynamics can be really complicated although the setup might be relatively easy. I strongly suggest not to venture into sandbed unless you have enough background knowledge about it first. Yes, articles are important but I think that reading deeper into science journals would help in understanding. BTW, I am preparing a follow up on the sandbed article I wrote so make sure you look out for it

Haha...yes I will be growing half of it in my refugium and the other half in school Found that it will be easier for me to have access all the hi-tech stuff

Here too!! http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...4450&hl=article

A little mod can make it fit a DE bulb right?

That looks cool!!!! If can fix it to their current fixtures will be even cooler!!!!
