  1. Took part in this event this weekend and here are just some pictures to share
  2. Yeah 1 more year to go!! Heard Calfo's coming down too
  3. It is used to maximise the usage of filter media such as Rowaphos or activated carbon Pros are that it maximises the surface area of contact between the water and the media and thus improving its effieciency. Cons are that it is usually hard to change out the media and if placed wrongly, might lead to precipitation
  4. Its just like the Crown of Thorns destroying the GBR
  5. Well you have to take note that sea cukes might not accept coral chips So you can't utilise them to clean your sandbed if you use coral chips
  6. When I asked this question 3 years ago, the reply was ML at Hong Leong Shopping Centre My recommendation will still remain as this
  7. I think zoos are almost perfect for it Just have a frag on a sizeable rock and you'll get what you want
  8. Agree with bro kelstorm (what's your name ha? Suddenly forgot ) You'd be better off with a bare bottom if you are not using the sand for any specific purpose
  9. If I'm not wrong, macroalgae like caulerpa would prefer something to cling to (something like creepers) But from personal experience, chaetomorpha does not need such a substrate
  10. In that case, you gotta get quite a number of specimens to cover the sandbed
  11. Oh I meant, because the idea is to have carpetting corals such as star polyps and zoos to cover the sandbed, somewhat like growing grass, I don't think it'll work. From what I know, these corals require a solid surface to actually spread and grow their new tissue so as sand is constantly shifting, it'll be hard for them to actually get a good footing to start the spread.
  12. I think corals that actually carpet rocks will not do the same on sand. I mean, you don't see zoos growing in a carpet over sand right? Not unless you have sand that turned to rock due to coralline growth
  13. Wow that's a quote from 2 years back!!! Anyway, most of my equipments are from RM (they rock!) and the rocks are from CF All the others, I got from various LFS Pricing wise, I think all the prices have changed so its hard for me to say
  14. My gal said the movie kind of lame Well anyway, nice to see the old timers back. Now its time for me to continue idolising you guys
  15. Haha ok, I think I got it It's better to visualise it as being used up like fuel as during precipitation, it actually "appears" rather than disappears
  16. I'll recommend turning on a tube of blue lights to encourage coralline growth on the LR which in later progress will help to curb algal growth. And I don't think bacterias are afraid of light. More properly put, the type of bacteria we want to culture are heterotrophic anaerobes which get their food from dissolved organic compunds in the water. If there was light, there might be a bloom of autotrophic bacteria which might have the capability to kill off the heterotrophic anaerobes via quorum sensing
