  1. u can try the mirror trick, change rockscape or other methods. end of the day, is ur 3 footer able to take the bio load of all 5 tangs??? i believe there r other LS/inverts/corals as well....... can ur macro skimmer keep the parameters at bay? do u wish to see nuisance algae sprouting out from nowhere due to high nutrient levels, etc?
  2. IMHO, u hv way 2 many tangs for a 3 footer. thus the bullying.
  3. wun that be the same as how roidan used to run his tank b4 his monstrous beckett???? only that this time round, both the H&S and AquaC is a notch smaller in capacity.
  4. ur mojo is making me puke.
  5. Good skimmer @ a good price. juz imagine how much this skimmer wld cost 1.5 yrs ago.......... upz for u bro.
  6. DB's old 4 footer MH is mounted onto his hood.
  7. dose strictly according to instructions given. slight underdose is a good and safe precaution. u need an efficient skimmer to skim out the DOC.
  8. removes D.O.C (dissolved organic compounds)
  9. can highlight where's the "creature"? old oredi, cannot see clearly.
  10. u will notice that there will always be something artificial, e.g. bottle cap, epoxy, etc as the base as anchor for aquacultured sps.
  11. Weileong, u r more than welcomed to snap a shot of my outgoing H&S F110-2000 with ur fabulous camera.
  12. u can contact iwaki singapore. but i doubt it is gonna come cheap.
  13. hi Felix, welcome to this monie-draining pothole. IMHO, u'll be better off ridding aiptasias by injecting kalk paste with a syringe onto the aiptasias. melt instantly. do a search in SRC, u will find out more. no hard and fast rulez as to how many hours of lights u shld switch on. depending on what corals u keep, etc. a general guideline will be anything from 8 to 10hrs. Coralline algae primarily flourishes under actinic (420 - 450Nm) lights and additives such as magnesium, calcium, etc. IMHO, it is good to get a Ca Reactor to supplement for ur corals' needs. but for a start, weekly/fortnightly check of water parameters wld be good. add additives accordingly to replenish the necessary trace elements. alternatively, u can do regular water changes. IMHO, it does not matters much. beneficial bacteria colonise on rocks, sandbed, etc. again, no hard and fast rulez here. get a UV which is appropriate for ur tank size. adjust accordingly to instructions given. btw, i was and still am never a believer of UV. so my info on this might be wrong. external filter as in cannister? get good and reliable ones. e.g. ehiem. cannister filter works well, but regular maintenance is needed. my ehiem 2026 never seems to hv given me problems. esp heat. temp of ard 27 degrees will be good enuff for most corals to thrive. hope i hv helped.
  14. 5) Faulty Atman CS-400CIRV chiller 9 mths old not in working condition asking: S$40 specifically, only the compressor is not working. if replace compressor, shld be able to work fine. additional info: chiller has been modified b4 to work with a FOX thermostat controller (which cost ard S$85++). pls dun expect the chiller to come with the FOX Controller at the selling price of S$40. u will hv to pay extra for it, else u can go get ur own.

  16. dun buy any ###### anemone shrimps or other tiny inverts if u do hv the flame hawk. else it will make him a truely full and cute fish with a big stomach.
  17. IMHO, take option 2. for me: 2x150W BLV10kk, 4x39W T5 (2x actinic, 2x 20kk), height water column in my tank is less than 1ft after deducting dsb, thus 150W shld be good enuff for me.
  18. Good things happen slowly, bad things happen in an instance in the marine aqyaria hobby. be patient. btw, PO4 is not the only factor that is fuelling ur algae growth. u'll hv to keep other parameters in check 2.
