  1. hi, wondering if anyone has a 1.5ft cube to let go before i go and purchase during the weekend. ios or not , hit me with your offers
  2. That's a really impressive tank bro, some top dollars spent on it.
  3. Thats pretty helpful bombom thanks. Fine tuning is one thing, however, wouldnt evaporation rate of the water then again cause the system to go haywire on either side i.e the siphon side and the return side? From what i see, If the siphon/external overflowbox has a fixed flowrate, then fine tuning would be an option, however, if the siphon/external overflow does not have a fixed flowrate(from what i see in the diy section) then fine tuning would not work because if the level of water in the tank decreases, the rate of siphoning decreasess as well no?
  4. Agreed, however doesent the overflow box/ pipe have a fixed flowrate? such that my return gph has to be the same to that of the overflow? I understand that an inbuilt overflow dosent have this problem as it is able to adjust to the water level in the tank. But as for external overflows that use a siphon, dont they have a fixed retun gph?
  5. Hello all, been looking at overflow boxes and siphon overflows for abit, does the return have to be exactly the same gph as the overflow in order for the overflow box to work? Or will the overflow prime itself such that the return gph dosent affect it? Do tell
  6. I've had a few that survived on dead market prawns. Trick is to make them look alive i.e dangle infront of the cave with tweezers and such. Live shellfish from the market work pretty well too. Just make sure you have a skimmer thats beyond your tanks capacity if you want it to live to its fullest. One inking session can cause your skimmer to go into overdrive, so do keep in mind. They're awesome creatures to keep, good luck
  7. looks like an adult bandensis to me .... but the body shape eludes me.
  8. Alot of places have , i used to get eggs from henry , then cf has , reborn has , these are the few who'll have a regular supply .
  9. hmm im guessing the octopus you bought would probably be the common pygmy octopus , goes for around 8 - 10 dollars a piece. I've kept a few before cause i like cephlapods, best food for them like what some of our reefers mentioned is actually target , or if you got a budget better still, you can buy some nuisance crabs from fellow reefers to feed your octopus , im very sure some of them would donate them to you but yeah , feeding live food takes effort cause its gonna cost you a bomb , on travelling and keeping the food alive. Cephs in short prey mainly on crustaceans and mollusks so yeah you shouldnt go wrong with the feeding part cause our super market is flooded with ready made cut prawns which you can feed your octo. Another pointer is that they need full strength sea water , so any less that 1.024- 1.025 in my experience shortens their lifespan by quite alot. and last point , never add copper into the tank , copper = good game , can throw away your octopus life and your tank if you ever wanna keep octopus's again. Good luck with your octopus
  10. woooo. i got alot of... exotic looking soft toys luh man wonder why the sg government had to bann exotics.
  11. yeah , but the eagle eye doing the best , they're like multiplying too! but colour faded
  12. lol i used to keep loads of scorpions and tarantulas and snakes and gliders , but all no more liao ever since it was illegal
  13. eh yo binosage , would it be possible to revive zoas which have lost their colour cause recently my tank crashed due to a power failure when i wasnt in the country. i managed to save the zoas , they're doing okay , just that the colours have faded alot and they shrank alot too... they've been surviving till now , but was wondering if there was any way to get their colours back? (;
