  1. Some pic frag on plug and some bigger frag.
  2. As above , trade with other Sps , acro frags preferred . Pm please ,
  3. They do really look alike , now I don't know which one I have , mine takes prawn meat, target feed with a tong.
  4. Don't try to catch em with your hands , those spines are really bad.
  5. False scorpionfish Centrogenys vaigiensis Or it could be a baby grouper , can't really see. This one is in my tank , commonly found along out sg shores.
  6. A picture of the skimmer in the sump would be good.
  7. It will find a spot where it's happy and it will stay there. It moves coz it's not happy with its current location due to lights , flow etc etc.
  8. Do u have sand in the skimmer compartment? Or any other stuff that could block the water exit hole at the bottom of the skimmer?
  9. Rock bonder , putty? Can shape any way u want..
  10. Y test for bacteria? They will be ever present in new/ old sea ,salt mix tank water etc etc
  11. No pre filtering used, just check salinity and dump into the tank. But taken from a good source eg sentosa or east coast during up going tide. But that was when I had 2feet tank, now I buy nsw from LFS for wC.
  12. CL450 with custom tempcontrol and external probe?
  13. https://www.google.com.sg/search?site=&source=hp&ei=kBX0U4_6G4i1uASxtICoBA&q=do+coral+produce+waste&oq=do+coral+profducd+&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.1.0.0i13i30l2j0i8i13i30l2.2737.7138.0.8755.22.20.2.1.1.3.573.5443.0j5j8j3j1j2.19.0....0...1c.1.51.mobile-gws-hp..10.12.2634.3.E6zdpKOmcqs
  14. Already 3years ... Still the clown never play with his anemone?
  15. Not a problem Hamza, And switching off your lights is only a temporary solution , because the nitrates and phosphate (algae food ) are still there,switch on the light and hey they come back. By the way , it is after cycling that the algae starts to come out coz the ammonia and waste are converted into nitrates. That is why we need nutrients (nitrates/phosphate) exports , as mentioned above. Unless you are ready for big water change every week (removing water filled nutrients which is not recommended) Nutrients will always be introduced into the water by many different means, mainly feeding and from livestock . So it's back to the issue of nutrient removal. Pick a system and we can go from there.
  16. Hamza there is nothing wrong with your tank. algae and diatoms are a normal entity in a marine tank or in fact any aquarium system . They are actually good for a tank because they remove the unwanted nutrients in the water. They will grow anywhere and everywhere when condition are ideal for them. Conditions are light source and food (nitrates n phosphate) Getting rid of any one of these will eleminate the algae. Let's start with lights , u cannot get rid of light from the main tank, u can switch them off but u will need to switch them on again . Chemical option Phosphate removal , use phosphate removal media like Phosban,rowa etc in their reactor. Nitrates removal ,use denitrator , carbon source , azno3, bio sphere or any other chemical gadget n reactors. Natural biological option. Using algae it's self .you can make other places in your tank more ideal for the algae to grow. Eg your sump, introducing a refregerium or algae scrubber which is actually growing the unwanted algae somewhere else (in the sump) so they don't grow in the display. You just need to introduce a better and longer period of light source in the sump. All in all , algae are a actually good for an aquarium if I can grow them elsewhere and not in the display. Your tank is going through the cycling period , it can take week or maybe months to reach a natural equilibrium , choose a system and stick to it, be it chemical or biological. Ask questions ,surf the net , get more information on the water chemistry , etc etc.
  17. Responded fishy , a few enquiries on the chiller but no firm yet . A picture might help .
