NSW are filtered sea water...not freshly prepared sea water....and bcoz they are collected from our local waters, cannot expect quality to be equivalent to wat you see in reef diving areas where the waters are crystal clear, free from nutrients.

if that is the case, i think most likely got resale value..haha...keeping this fish alive will be a big challenge...esp in terms of temp requirement... Its like a car importer having to justify to LTA for importing dodge viper V12....

Weipro can't skim anything...from wat i sense...its a case of overload + ammonia spike + high nitrate level + high stress level of blue tangs vs trigger and maroon clown.

wow!...with this price tag i'm definitely out of the league...got resale value or not?

too crowded liao...wat trigger are you keeping?...trigger is known to nip at our fishes and can be quite territorial.

lol....try try lah...

can pm me yr place?

give more details...did you check yr water parameters..nitrite, ammonia levels? did you top up with tap water? is yr salinity level ok? temp?

Sorry for my noob question...do you have to wash these "live" sand or simply put them straight into the tank? bam.. It has always puzzled me whether the bacteria or micro-organisms are still alive after so many days / months in the packaging.

Your tank is certainly a good example of the power of the bright side....LED! btw, this is a brain...although trying its best to resemble a prata.

clap clap

let me start for the day....$16.00

Slowly increase yr livestocks and corals bit by bit...most impt is to have a rockscape to place your gems that is easy and manageable.

let me start the ball rollin'...$12

if they are reachable, inject straight into their mouth...if not, close to them also can..."close" meaning within 1cm radius. You will feel very glad when you realise they have melted....satisfaction guaranteed! I have decided to use this method..after seeing one or two start to propagate by floating around....makes you want to take immediate action...haha...

To be on a safe side...to dose pH buffer first and dun one shot start spraying the aiptasia with lemon juice...do it progressively day by day and target each individual aiptasia....small ones...a little bit is enough to kill them...big ones, meaning 3-4cm and above..30ml is enough.

It din damage any of my LPS corals..i think close relatives of aiptasia will be affected with this method...including jelly fish and anemones.

That is bcoz u only turn on for 3-4hrs ma..lol ...i think we need to hear from those SPS reefers on their feedback.

i think this forum has become a LED vs MH/T5 discussion...haha...rather than review on G2. i hope jacky dun mind....i appreciate his good effort of taking pics and writing this review.

The problem is..most reefers still judge based on how much they have to spend upfront. Yes, i agree for those SPS dominated tanks..switching to LEDs will be more cost effective as operating 9-12 hours per day is no joke considering the heat produce and amt of energy the chiller needs to cool maintain the temp and potential meltdown if the chiller breaks down when they are not around. For LPS keepers...what is withholding, is mainly the cost of purchasing a LED unit....correct me if i'm wrong.

ok

will have to drive there...no choice...those i saw in RB not so good.

But i tot 10k white is better coz they have better PAR?

which LFS got nice live rocks?

Btw, i have used fresh lemon juice to inject into aiptasia and it works. Once you inject them using a syringe directly, they will die within a few mins to an hour depending on how big they are. Just buy a fresh lemon and use about 30ml to 50ml depending on size. Its effectiveness is 10/10. But remember to increase your pH after getting rid of these pests as lemon juice will decrease your pH. This tip is from reef central. For those newbies. Aiptasia are considered pests in the marine aquarium hobby, because they are stressful to coral around them, and occasionally even sting fish. They are often accidentally imported along with live rock. Once present in the aquarium they are notoriously difficult to remove as attempts to remove often inadvertently create more.
