  1. Hi brother, Anyone can advise where can I buy this? I want those larger grain size which is easier to siphon. Thank you.
  2. Thanks for advice. The white part of the monti is beginning to show the colors...I am hoping that it is recovering.
  3. I have also read that some reefers advised against putting live stocks since it should be kept a haven for pod cultivation.
  4. Hi brothers, Anyone keep livestocks in their chaeto refugium? I think certain inverterbrates such as crabs and shrimps may work, anyone keep fishes in there too?
  5. Hi brothers, Need some advices on this topic. My 120 gal aquarium is made up of 60% softie, shrooms and zoas, 30% LPS and 10% SPS - in fact I only have 1 monti and 1 acro. Before I keep SPS, my parameters are: dkh:7, ca: 500, mg: 1280 Ever since I keep the SPS, I noticed my dkh and ca starts to drop. Since I only have 2 SPS corals, I started to dose Brightwell Alkalin 8.3 (20ml) and PurpleUp (20ml) twice a week. I began to observe good PE and sign of growth of the SPS and coraline algae. Now the questions are: 1) Despite the dosage, my dKH still remains around 7. Does that mean I should dose Brightwell Alkalin 8.3 more frequently to up the dKH? my ca is now around 400 - 420. mg is still 1280. 2) I understand SPS use the calcium and bicarbonate to grow, if my tank has low dKH and Ca, does that mean my SPS will suffer? or they can still be happy just that wont grow? 3) Is that a cheaper source for dKH? I have read about limewater and baking soda...but I also heard about the cons, for instance baking soda will slightly lower the pH. Since I do not intend to go full-scale to SPS, I really wonder if I need to be so concious of the dKH and Ca of my aquarium. 4) I have one frag of monti that has half of it become white and died off already...I think because it dropped onto a yuma then become like that...just curious whether those died off part of SPS can recover? or I should simply break off those died-off part? Thank you. Any view and advice is welcomed
  6. But for coral with slightly heavier base rock have to use epoxy. Anyway I suck at epoxy never stick well for me. Maybe my skill no good. Sigh.
  7. Pinnacle @ 1130: assorted SPS such as monti, staghorn and acro, multi-color mushroom (but heard they are exporting them), blue/red mushroom, some green yuma, elegance corals, assorted zoas - green, orange, etc. pink frogspawn, cynarina, etc.
  8. All corals collected by nice fellow reefer. Thanks for your interest. Thread closed.
  9. Corals are reserved at this moment. Will update those pm-ed if the first person withdraw. Thank you
  10. Hi bros, Selling 2 elegance corals - one for $25 both with pink tips. The photo shows 2 elegance corals - I placed 2 pieces together so it looks huge. Each piece open up to slightly bigger than fist size. Collection at sengkang. pls pm me if interested. pls bring own container. thank you
  11. Hi, Noticed that I have too much 'brown' color in my aquarium so decided to give them out. All cheap soft coral - but cannot bear to throw. Anyone wanna adopt please pm me. Really hate to throw away Thank you. Collection at Sengkang.
  12. Has any brother saw any monti colony on sale? Not hunting for frag. Would like to get larger specimen
  13. Some of my mushroom purchased comes without base rocks. If I put them next to the rocks how long does it take for them to stick to them? Thanks.
  14. Hi bros, Have the following items to let go. Deal @ Sengkang, please pm me. 1) Tunze 9006 with sump kit (used for 10 months) http://www.tunze.com/details.html?&L=1&C=US&type=&user_tunzeprod_pi1%5Bprodid%5D=9006.000 Selling @ $300. 2) ReefLux MH-DE 150W 12000K bulb x 02 (bought years ago from AM but never use) Selling @ $70 each.

  15. Hi bros, Can someone share their experience if the 2 above can be placed together, i.e. whether they will sting each other? Thank you.
  16. Good topic. In fact I was thinking about Razor. Hope reefers can share their time point configuration. My aquarium is softies and LPS dominated. This is my configuration. TP 1: 11am white 0% blue 0% TP 2: 1pm white 60% blue 35% TP 3: 4pm white 90% blue 70% TP 4: 8pm white 90% blue 70% TP 5: 10pm white 35% blue 60% TP 6: 11.30pm white 0% blue 0%

  19. Hi bros, Need some advice on whether these injured corasl be restored? I do not know the exact causes of them deteriorating but I do have other corals which are still healthy and striving... 1) Green bleaching mushroom - was doing well for weeks and suddenly it starts to deteriorate although I never disturb its position... 2) Hammer - when I bought it from GO, it was blooming. Only when I took it out from the bag, I noticed one part had already died off and it began to spread... 3) Zoas - also used to be striving for 1 - 2 months, then suddenly the polyps are no longer extending out fully...I observed for a couple of weeks and decided to change its location but it didnt work...slowly slowly gone... Any advice bro? Can they be recovered or should I give up on them? Thank you.
  20. I never seed. When you get it from LFS or other reefers, bound to have pods within already.
