  1. I am not sure anyone will feel sad when your fishes dies or do anyone just buy new fishes when the fishes die. I personally feel very sad and heart pain for my pocket as well as the fishes. I had many experience when I buy the fishes and the next thing I saw is they are dead in the tank. I find that this is really a waste of natural resources as fishes are depleting and the money spend on it is wasteful. I think most of us just put the fishes which we purchase straight into the tank so we can see them straight away. But this is a wrong approach! I might be wrong cos I am also a amateur reefer. However, my suggestion is to quarantine it for a few hours in a small pail or tank with a pump. Feed them some food to allow them to accustom to the food source. When they start feeding, I think you are ready to put them in. I like to place my fishes in at night when the tank is only with the moonlight on. In this way they are less probe to attack by my matured tank mates! I am sure this is really helpful and it help me save the fishes from dying and affect ecosystem of my reef tank. Hope this will help new reefers as well as save the fishes from the human mishandling them. Every life is important! Also remember to ask the seller more infomations about the fishes before purchase! Dont buy bcos they are beautiful but not knowing how to care for them! Be a responsible reefers! Cheers!
  2. Try Ah beng! My friend did one from them around 1k with cabinet for 3ft tanks
  3. but is it enough? will it grow? cos 3w is damn small amount of light
  4. opp ah beng shop got a auntie selling many tangs. Iwarna also have few
  5. yes I also saw it. But not very nice leh! But today got really lots of fishes. many clownfishes, anthias, dottyback, boxer shrimp.
  6. total 3.2w not 3.2 per bulb. I guess it is not enough
  7. the fishes are usually from the indo and Philippines regions!
  8. alot od time the reefers are the one suffering cos we cant tell. we happily buy a fish back but after a week it just past away. it also will crush the tank if we cant find the victims. this is sometimes so frustrating!
  9. Eagle Eyes are really beautiful and now it is more common than in the past. But it is one of the favourite in the zoas family.
  10. I manage a 3.2w 40bulbs led for my chaetos and anyone know if it is enough for it in my sump? I on it 24 hours!
  11. is that one of the reason why fishes from thes places always die and dont feed well?
  12. Is our fishes we buy in singapore cynide free? cos they seem healthy but might not be the case after awhile. How can we tell?
  13. why some zoa grow longer and tall while some zoas dont? different species? Care to share?
  14. my barlett are quite ok just that when come to feeding, they are the first. probably my dispar has a larger number so the bartlett dont dare to do anything.
  15. I recently bought 5 dispar anthias but it is not feeding for 1 day already whereas the barlett anthias (a pair) is feeding well in one day. they saw me coming near the tanks, they go into hiding. I use mysis and brine shrimp but no use at all. Is it difficult to keep them?
  16. roughly a 3ft by 2 ft by 2 ft is how much? Yes I got con by a reefer shop and I really hate that!
  17. Thanks guys for your reference but any bad name I should avoid in the forum just in case I got con again.
