Hi all, am looking for 1-feet lightset (running with e-ballast) for my tank... Will be good if it can support T5HO/T5 tubes... If it's of normal PL make, hopefully it has minimum wattage of 18W... Will be good if the model is those that has individual switch for individual tubes... Anyone who has something that fits the description above, do PM me with the brand/model/pics/condition/price/place of collection etc & I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!!

Hi MachoMarlin, looks like I'll avoid a horned starfish in the future then... But for my case, dun have 1 living inside, so really makes me wonder who could have inflicted the wound on my starfish... Could it be Skunk Cleaner Shrimp? Common Clownfish? Scarlet Hermit? [Like playing Cluedo like dat...] Sigh! Before I can have a confirmed 'murderer', if not, apprenhensive in buying a new starfish for my girl...

Hi all (Morpheous, adrianlau & arcanehacker), thanks for the speedy reply & advises... Sad to say, my Red starfish did not survive the wound found on its body, found it still & dead in my tank this morning... [it had been living happily with the other tankmates all this while: Common clown from bro Morpheous; Scarlet Hermit; Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, some zoa & red macroalgae)... So really dun understand who could have inflicted the wound on the starfish... [Anyone can offer any possible reasons for the death of my starfish? It's my girl's favourite in the tank...) As for the tiny jellyfish-like things, will try & catch it out from my tank if I manage to do so - they move very swiftly & I move very slowly!!! Cheers!! PS: Bro Morpheous, thanks, your clownfish is doing great.... Big eater, always snatch the pellets or market prawn flesh when I try to feed to my cleaner shrimp... As for weight gain...hmm.. maybe will take him out one day & place him on my kitchen's digital scale & let you know... LOL!! [Joking olny lah... The clownfish has now become the centre of attraction in the tank for my mum as it always comes out to nod its head when being called... "MIMO"... Ha!! Ha!!]

Hi all, lately discovered some living stuffs in my Nano tank & wondered if it's harmful... [sorry, but the thing is too small for my digital camera to take a pic & post here...] It's transparent & white in colour, sticks on the side of the glass, has about 6 to 8 leg-like tentacles & when in moves in the water, it moves like a jellyfish... Today, just realised that my red starfish had a wound on one of its arm (as if something had bitten off flesh from it...), dunoe if it's the work of these creatures... Would appreciate if any bro can help & advise on the course of actions on this matter.... Cheers!!

Hi yongshun, that's really a good deal... If include the free delivery, really saves me the hassle of having to carry all the heavy cartons/ bottles myself as I'm not driving... Ok if you PM me the contacts? By the way, do they deliver if it's just for ONE '19 litre' bottle? Or is there like a min number of bottles before they deliver? PS: How does one get water out from these '19 litre' bottles if I don't have those dispenser machine like those in the office?? Cheers!!

Thanks a lot bro peacemaker for this great source of cheaper Distilled water in Sheng Siong!!! ... & I thought that I'm already getting a good deal [Always lugging those market trolley to NTUC to 'snatch' bottles of Distilled water with people looking at me as if I'm some wierd freak... ] currently with this brand of Distilled Water "LIFE" from NTUC, selling at $0.95 for two 1.5 litres bottles... [That works out to be $0.475 per bottle] Looks like now I must target Sheng Siong for my source of Distilled water already... Cheers!! PS: Does it matter if I change my brand of Distilled water from one brand [LIFE] to another brand [Alpheus]? Will it cause any shock to my livestocks? Or are the 2 actually about the same?

Hi all, intend to get a few pieces of shells suitable for a Red Scarlet Hermit Crab to 'upgrade'... Does anyone has any spare/unwanted shells to give me? Do let me know & I'll get back to you ASAP, thanks! PS: My Hermit is still quite small (about the size of a 20cent coin - including its shell...); Hopefully collection area around Punggol/Sengkang or somewhere nearby... Cheers!!

Hi Underwater, thanks for the suggestion but I'm having a Nano tank for my marine (GEX 24 cm cube tank), so do not have a sump tank available... Thought of getting a small betta tank to let the mushroom attach itself to a small piece of LR first but also do not have the benefit of space for a betta tank anymore in my Nano tank... Sigh! That's the disadvantage of a Nano lor... PS: Had placed the mushroom frag on another spot on my LR (also not much flow, but the spot is a bit sunken on the LR though...) again to try, so far so good, never get 'displaced' again... Will monitor & see how... [Any idea how long it'll take the mushroom to get attached to the LR naturally??] Thanks!!

Tried to place it on a spot on my liverocks with minimum water current but noticed that it always landed back on the sandbed after a few moments... Dunoe if it's the mushroom's own decision (maybe I chose a bad spot) or due to my livestocks (clownfish, scarlet hermit, skunk cleaner shrimp, red starfish) toppling the mushroom accidentally/ intentionally... Any other ways to let the mushroom 'fix' onto a spot on the liverocks? [Do not intend to use any forms of glue in my case...] Thanks!!

Many thanks to flying carpet, Achilles Tang & Underwater for the ind responses... Dun think it came from the Liverocks in my tank, however, added some zoas & red macroalgae a few weeks ago... So maybe it could be from them... Wow!! A small purple mushroom frag!!! Yipee!!! So in that case, after I'd placed it on my liverocks (without much current) what else must I take note? Does it require high/low light? What to feed it with? Another other important things to take note? Thanks in advance for all advises... PS: Noticed that this thing does sometimes 'expand' & sometimes 'contract' till very small in size... Is it normal?

Hi all, got up today & saw this piece of thing [in the red box] lying on my sand in my Nano tank... Don't know what it is, can anyone help me to ID it? Thanks!!! Is it ok to leave it in my tank or do I need to remove it?

Upz for bro Peong!!! The zoas are doing great in my tank....

Really?!? Will be interested if it's really so... [i.e. I just need to get live sand & rocks & the live stocks.... Pls tell me it's true spaceage....

Hi gfishy, thanks alot for your speedy replies (in the other thread about the 2 feet cube tank also...)... Sigh!! Love the RSM's one also but cost is a factor stopping me leh, hence looking to get used ones but still in useable conditions... Any idea how much will the smaller one (Redsea Max) cost? How about those by JBJ, Jebao etc... Many thanks!

Hi bro, like to ask if it's those type which is a hangon filter ###### skimmer type? Do you think it can fit in comfortably in a 24cm cube tank? Possible to take some pics? [Ha! Ha! Or maybe think I drop by your place will be much faster lah...] PS: Your clownfish is happily swimming in my tank now amongst my zoa & red macroalgae... but seems like it needs a fish mate also leh... LOL!!!
