  1. bro I got 80% left on mine. sell you at half price? interested?
  2. yupz got spade tail. I think it's morphing, not 100% male yet... can see some dark purple/black colouration on the dorsal fin and the underside of the belly has a deep purple when it colours up. Just hope it morphs 100% I guess.
  3. well, cool stuff. Wonder will it hit sg anytime soon?
  4. I was watching this video earlier... What kinda made me suspicious was if you load their video, everyone is amazed with this new 'technology' but when they look into the fan, nothing seems to be blowing at them? Hair never move, clothes never ripple, etc. all the tell tale signs of fan blowing just not there. Just wondering...
  5. lol the one hiding at the bottom? its the red yuma I got from fragmaster. ok la, not as nice as yours... no fight here seriously, I need more corals, now that I take a side shot of my tank, it looks really bare and empty.
  6. Jacky, this 'fts' is for you. lol I told you already I don't have anything much to show, so paiseh to show this view...
  7. bro you really missing out the good stuff man... CF is HUGE! haha and should go to LCK too, they have been bringing in quite shipment in recent weeks. Definitely an eye opener to go there.
  8. is because my rhomboid colours not developed yet... but dun compare to six line la... its the most expensive LS in my tank now lei... heh
  9. lol i don't have tt many fishes to start off with. Only have 3 wrasses? Rhomboid, Flame, Leopard... still got 1 Royal Gamma n 2 baby true percs tt still hovers at the waterline all day. my next and final I wanna get (I think) wrasse... cf auntie calls it v-tail wrasse in fact she calls almost every wrasse I id v-tail... lol care to make a guess?
  10. I think dead rock means totally devoid of all organism = cannot possibly have anymore dieoffs, therefore if you add them into your tank, won't cause a spike. But takes time for bacteria to colonize the LR, so you should dose bacteria. If you add LR, the lesser amount of time spent out of water, the lesser die off. If you want to be certain, can just cycle the LR in a pail of saltwater, add a pump for some circulation. Can do water test on the pail of water to make sure ANN is fully cycled, and you can transfer it to your main tank. (I think this is only if you're extra kiasu) btw, recommend you to get a proper test kit for more accurate readings, the ammonia alert thing works if its not past its expiry date, and once it detects and changes colour, your fishes prob up lorry already.
  11. Can't find much info on feminine wrasse online though, such a rare fish!
  12. My newest addition... hopefully all goes well with this male, and his colouration deepens. Not the best specimen out there, but it is the most aggressive fish in the tank now. Hopefully that encourages him to turn alpha
  13. haha no thanks... So cool, family outing to the farms I'm sure they will enjoy. lucky kids hor?
  14. bro shouldn't it be adjustable since you will want to adjust it upwards when maintaining the tank?
  15. bro don't need to worry so much la... anyway brine by itself has no nutritional value whatsoever, if you want, go for mysis.
  16. If you add bigger rocks, will cover more space, give you stability, easier to scape. Looking better each day bro!
  17. hehe then after that, shift to an even bigger tank! after tt... need a reef pond le! Anyway boss, your rock scape looks good. Love how you covered up the pipings with your rocks.
  18. Hope the pox doesn't spread bro. looking forward to your closeups. going farm this weekend?
  19. the grey or red ones both serve the same function. Red ones more expensive because they contain extra elements or something like tt to encourage bacteria growth in new tanks. In my dictionary, it's pure marketing. I started my tank with the cheaper, grey ones and never looked back. Live rocks, biohome, any of them serve the same function of biological filtration. Not enough LR? Biohome is a good addition you can put in sump. Kiasu? Have lots of live rocks and lots of biohome. You can utilize both in your tanks. Note that biohome recommends placement in cleaned water and in the dark.
  20.

They might not be used to the pellets yet but they sound like they are trying to get used to the taste of eating pellets. In no time, they will be chomping them down. How small are they? If you find that they are spitting out the pellets and eating bits of it again, your pellets might be too big for them. If they are spitting out 1-2 pellets after eating like 10, then its just a sign that they are full.
  21. I understand the fuge will need nutrient waste to thrive. Which is why I am planning to create an overflow compartment to feed the fuge with partial skimmed water, and also unskimmed water direct from main tank. I can simply get a stronger pump such that overflow is stronger, and fuge receives 75%/25% from main tank/skimmer. Has anyone tried a sloping DSB to SSB? Are there any potential pitfalls in doing this? I'm thinking of doing a DSB at the back of the tank up to 5", sloping downards to 1" in front. Probably use LR to prop against the DSB portion to prevent sand from sliding downards. Reason for this is firstly to save cost of purchasing more sand and also because DSB is ugly looking, and the front portion of the tank is on display, so for aesthetic reasons, will only have a thin layer of sand. Thinking of using this (have to seed with some live sand though): Caribsea Aragamax Sugar Sized Sand (30 lb) Aragamax Sugar-Sized Sand: 0.2 - 1.2mm diameter grain size. Also known as "oolitic sand," this grade is ideal for shallower bedsallowing dentrification in little 1"depth. The fine can pass easily through gills of gobys and other sand-sifting organisms. smooth round grains are gentle to soft bellied sharks rays. White color metal freeno ash or silica.
  22. Logically, mechanical filter first. Fish sucked by overflow, end up in the first compartment at least maybe still can swim abit (stretch imagination abit), go to your protein skimmer? *shudders, milo milk* After skimmer, go to chiller and return back up to tank. Moving on, you can choose to add biological filtration after your 1st compartment (mechanical). If you have enough live rocks in your tank, you can skip this. Or kiasu, add more LR, or Biohome, or bio balls etc. I would recommend Biohome. 1kg is more than enough. Next up, chemical filtration. Carbon, phosphate removing media are 2 more popular media that some reefers use. Can research more to see if it suits your style. They are typically placed after biological filtration. A more effective (expensive) approach is to use 2 x Fluidized reactor so you can adjust the different flow requirements of these media. At the end of the day, KISS method works well. (Keep it simple) all the best! research research research! You're on the right track.
