be mentally prepared to clean yr tank like crazy....haha...but since u r getting a replacement, may save u the trouble afterall... sgbros did my shifting also...they shd have stick sponge on the corners to absorb the impact and handling... lookin forward to your updates!
-
your rockscape is Zen style... nice of dr evil to come by yr place to help u install....i will be ordering BM from him...model NAC66 running on 2 pumps...
-
thinking of selling?...if u changing to HDB..u will have lots of cash on hand since u got yr current place during the low period...haha...
-
u have a great skimmer n lighting already....all u need is to convert yr existing tank with sump below + a nice cabinet...if u make yr tank look nice and presentable..u have a beta chance of convincing yr CO to upgrade to a bigger tank next time....call dr evil now! i'm sure he can help...
-
Whoa nice zoas......u haf em in ur tank already?
-
you can consider...since u can't expand horizontally, u can expand upwards...n have more space for exotic zoas
-
when will you be installing the BM skimmer? if u can wait till next wed / thurs, we can go down to iwarna together...
-
Erm....hard to say lah.....maybe later u catch the 'sps' bug ....haha
-
dun think i will invest in zeovit system in the LR...just dose can already...coz i dun keep sps...so some of the stuffs not that essential... wat i'm tryin to do is to rely less on feeding meaty food to LPS to once a month...coz quite troublesome to switch off everything and submerge my hands into the water and feed them like babies...last time my nano tank is ok..i dun mind feeding them meat coz maintenance is easy...and just change water the next day...imagine everytime i feed them heavily and i have to do water change after that to reduce the nutrients and ammonia...quite xiong... now i'm already changing bit by bit alternate days...

SPS and angels/butterflies
TayHongSiang replied to yikai's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
is it safe to keep angels like emperor, queen, annularis with freshy n juicy LPS like brains and pratas? -
u can dismantle the chiller and leave behind the casing... skimmer, return pump, lightings...all take... must well just call sgbros to come while we entertain them in one of their rooms...i think within 15mins they can clear everything excluding cabinet...
-
empty pails too obvious la...bring some ziplock bags inside yr pockets can already...each of us take a few here and there and later split the loot downstairs...haha... imagine desi and ketchap waking up to an empty tank except live rocks inside...
-
ya lor..u order 50 packets delivered to your place n we buy from u loh...haha...u resell at $4/pck u make double liao leh...
-
the issue is not space constraint as i have been to his place recently to do measurements...haha...
-
how to share nsw...lol its better to get those blue tubs which u see in RB to store nsw...if not..u can u tell xiao wang his nsw delivery person to deliver to u in packet form....one packet is around 12 litres...so 24 packets stacked up in yr toilet loh...haha...if not alternatively is to do monthly 50% water change loh...
-
yup...i might consider having those tubs...$80 for 400L of NSW is rather worth it. if u use distilled bottles...very xiong...5% of your current tank is approx 30-50 litres...which means min 20 bottles for each water change...mix until seow...right now i m changing alternate days one small pail each time...abt 7.5 litres each time....so i spread my xiongness...
-
i'm using distilled water....but not advisable to do large volume water change using distilled water...will cause big swing in water parameters...coz the pH is 7.0...sudden drop in yr current pH from drastic water change is bad for corals especially...and if u keep sensitive fishes like PBT..may kapuk..
-
if u want a mandarin that is feeding on frozen mysis / brineshrimp...may cost u about $30 or more. Xenia must see whether they are healthy...meaning the polyps are pulsing actively..those will cost u more... powder blue tang is $30 for small ones and $35 for big ones...those that are already feeding and stable may cost u 10-20% more...coz it takes time for the LFS to train them. the reason why some LFS like GO cost more is because the boss handpick the corals from supplier first b4 the remaining goes to other LFSes...some LFS sell much cheaper for the same species is because they do not handpick from the supplier...watever the supplier gives them...they take...so u get to see nice and not so nice corals in their shipments.
-
u can replace with normal drinking water and she wouldn't know either...for all u know she will say her tank is much cleaner and her corals are extending like crazy..and all this while, its just plain water she's dosing..
-
we can share if u want or i can get for u guys...next week i will go down RD to get zeobak and zeofood, the basic stuff to start off with...i dun have sps...so i dun need those that will cause the zooxelleane dun know wat to reduce for the sps to colour up...
