doesn't matter whether u using ext thermostsat, higher flowrate is better. Lower flowrates will result in longer chilling times. Your chiller will have min. flowrates. Check the specifications.

New scaping, less space for zoas wanna keep my sandbed relatively untouched.

bro paiseh about the rocks... I'm letting go most of my zoas, can frag u some when u start out.

Sold pending collection this sat.

omg bro, the naoko looks damn good! Amazing finnage!

bro u v suay...Hope it gets well soon.

bwahahaa wait behind your back she sign on another username how?

CATFIGHT!

where got so fast get married have kids one! hahaaa In the beginning, there is courtship. The male try to court the female. The female thinks he's some molester, so try to defend herself. Then after realise the male not tt bad looking, will start to develop feelings for him. But still will fight once in a while when the male tries to get into her pants. After tt, female realise she's getting old, and there are no other males ard, so like it or not, better settle down fast... They start sharing the same home. Finally the male.... XXXXXXX (lol x rated) but hor... the male fertilizes the eggs outside the body, so dun think so dirty la...

For you cannot hide la, gf will know exactly how much it is since she comes to src too. Or am I talking to gf now? totally confused...

lol got interested buyer... nowadays zoas v. popular, haven't even post in pasar malam kena chop le... If still have after fragging out, will have to trouble one of you bros to help me

the snails must be careful, their shells do come out easily sometimes. I have a few snails crawling ard w/o shell. It's quite a miracle they are still alive. If I had any crabs, they would be gone in a flash.

hahaa yeah.... i guess will have to rely on my old pics for the time being then.

Although my bigger one does wack the smaller one, They stay together most of the time coz got alot of bigger fish ard to keep them in check. I find this the best method of keeping aggression to a minimum. Tt's why I'm planning 2 additional fishes to add in the coming months. Now tt I have more swimming space in my new scape

Anyone has any idea if it's possible to post photos taken on iphone, via iphone itself? Reason asking is my home computer is down and I'm trying to sell off some zoas... but am unable to find a way to attach files via safari on Iphone.

I stand corrected by lemon. Did more research and clownfish are born "Protandrous hermaphrodite". Some call them born sexless, but the official definition should be born as male and able to change to female if there is a need to. As long as you don't see any torn fins, scales dropping etc. then let them settle their social hierarchy by themselves. More human intervention might make matters worse no matter the intention.

ups!

If your tank inhabitants are all happy with your parameters, then don't need to change anything. I still suggest testing for alkalinity though and adjust if needed. Calcium precipitation is just a waste of your calcium.

They could still be sexless. I suggest you PM bro Fuel for some advice Not all clowns pair up. They tend to kill each other. Tt's why paired clowns command higher prices.

His tank is so small, where to hide? Sure will kena wack one. Can only hope 1 male, 1 female, eventually the female will wack the male into submitting to her. You will know when the male becomes 'domesticated' through its submissive behaviour: First the dominate fish will rush or otherwise attack the submissive fish. The submissive fish will turn sideways to the dominate fish and tilt its belly towards the dominate fish and quiver like an epileptic seizure. The female should recognize this behavior and stop the attack short of actual damage. Sometimes in new pairings and old well established pair bonds the dominate fish will move to a parallel position to the submissive and quiver back to the submissive fish. The main problem now is you don't know the sex of both your clownfish. If both are female, the smaller one cfm will die coz she cannot change to female and pair up. If 1 female 1 male, then still got chance of pairing up, but it's still abit of luck as the male might die first. If 2 males, the dominant one will change to female and start attacking the male. Tt's why I chose to get 2 juv true percs. This way, they mature into different sexes and pair up w/o much aggression. Of course it takes alot of time. Mine have been with me for about 3+ months, and the 3rd stripe is only beginning to show.

You can't curb the aggression. The big one is trying to assert itself. Unless they pair up, I don't see much chances for your smaller clown. How small are they?

Let's not confuse TS for now. I think the msg we want to drive is tt for pico tank, start at your own risk.

where does your fish sleep? Inside the clam skeleton? btw your BT will outgrow your 2ft quite quickly.

460's on the high side. Did you overdose calcium recently? Check your alkalinity levels also. I suspect you might have v. low alkalinity levels, which might also affect ph. You can read more about it here: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/nov2002/chem.htm Corrections for Zone 4 Zone 4 problems are also a little harder to correct. It is typically caused by overdosing calcium RELATIVE to alkalinity, but does not necessarily imply that alkalinity is either to high or too low (though it is almost always too low). To correct problems in this zone, monitoring of calcium and alkalinity values during correction is especially important. If this problem is extreme (i.e., you are far from the line at the left hand edge of zone 4), then water changes may be the best way to correct to the problem. In most cases, however, water changes aren’t necessary. If alkalinity were less than 4 meq/L (11 dKH; the most common situation in zone 4; shown in Figure 5), I would advise correcting this problem by adding an alkalinity supplement until you have moved into the target zone (or zone 1). For systems with a pH of 8.2 or above, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a good choice. For systems with a pH below 8.2, washing soda (sodium carbonate) is a good choice (though use some baking soda too if the correction is a large one and the pH gets too high; that is, above pH 8.5 or so).

If you really wanna try, can do as Jacky advised. But note it won't be easy and you might find that you have lost $$ because eventually not very successful, or worse tank crash. It would be better if you save up more and go with a bigger tank. Easier to maintain and you will feel more satisfied,
