  1. selling away chiller for tanks <650L. temperature control is not working so needs an external thermostat. pm me if interested
  2. around 8-9 to 5-6. is that too little?
  3. every LPS that i get seem to be bleaching, except my bubble. the most obvious one is my hammer and brain. nitrate: 10ppm nitrite 0.0ppm alkalinity (dkh): 9 pH: 8.4 ammonia: 0.00ppm sg: 1.024 ca: 450 mg: >1400 temp: 26°C i'm using 4x24w T5 with API tubes (1 month old). does anyone know why LPS bleach?
  4. ah okay MH bulbs wouldn't need much changing right? i'm guessing its more of use the bulb until spoil then change?
  5. selling one full set with the original Hopar light tubes (1W/1B). has only been used for 2 months plus. condition 9.5/10. comes with the original box as well. going for $30 self collection at tampines pm me if interested
  6. but T5s need regular changing and API tubes aren't cheap so i was thinking if MH would help with that. currently from my T5s its a total of 96w so i didnt think 150w would be an over kill since there are people using 6x24w over a tank my size. thanks for the heads up
  7. hi guys, i pondering to go on to MH from T5 cause there's a chiller now. my tank's only 2'x1'x1.5' (the standard 2' feet except maybe a little taller). would 150w be an overkill? i don't keep any sps, just normal lps and other corals. i'm also unsure about the pricing. checking online they all seem to cost over $250 and i can't find one for 2' tanks. i'm guessing i also need to supplement blue T5s or the tank would look totally yellow/white right? can anyone also point out the life of MH bulbs? will they need changing like T5s?
  8. sold and collected. thanks for viewing
  9. chiseled of 40% the other day cause the whole area went wrong. i'm still a little unsure about the little part near the chiseled area. its been 2 days now and it doesn't seem infected, yet it doesn't seem totally healthy. fingers crossed
  10. oops price put wrong should be $10, yeap SGD$10
  11. selling off due to more commitments. originally from GO just less than a week ago. rock size is only 1.5" or so looking for $15 viewing at tampines, pm me if you're interested
  12. i would want to cut but its not a branching hammer. so i need a dremel tool or something which i don't. would you guys recommend chiseling? the infection has spread (though slower then expected) to about 15% of the colony. previously it was around 7-10%. did another iodine rinse this time more iodine and for 7 minutes (previously was 5). i'm quite lost from here cause i read somewhere which said iodine dips shouldn't be done any longer than 7 minutes but there are sites which said 15 minutes.
  13. yeah i know i should get a UV soon to try to prevent any potential spreads lurking. when i get home today then i'd get to check on everything. thanks everyone
  14. thanks for everyone's inputs! and Gouldian that link was really helpful today hammer having brown jelly at the side. did a iodine dip and it looks abit better. i think its a octo but was sold to be as a frogspawn. the two largest heads showed polyp extention in the tank and it seem relatively well. then in the evening for some reason everything went in and the problem started. i'd do a water change to get rid of the nitrates and maybe increase my cheato amount in the sump. the flow the corals are getting are somewhat the same so i don't think too much flow or too little is the problem (the torch hammer and bubble and deceased frogspawn were all at the same tank level getting 96w of T5 over a 22g. i dont feed my LPS aside the bubble which actually takes food from me. the rest don't seem to bother. any ideas on how to feed them?
  15. reef safe mine gets rid of zoa nudibranches
  16. up. stand can be for 4x24w/39w.. etc. as long as the width is 4 bulbs
  17. looking for the above, just the stand, not light set. if anyone has and is letting go pm me
  18. has anyone kept them for really long? i seem to have really bad luck with them. bought two, two die. but my other corals (hammer, torch, bubble etc) all doing fine, and well too. i don't understand why they just die off in my tank. the latest one i got started to shed off the brownish slime on its skeleton then now its a white skeleton with the green mass in the centre. the polyps are also slowly withering away my water readings are okay, tested this morning, nitrate: 20.0ppm nitrite 0.0ppm alkalinity (kh): 9dkh pH: 8.4 ammonia: 0.00ppm sg: 1.024 ca: ~480 mg: ~1450
