rycin

Yes, comes with valves & pipes.. in fact I'm kept the canister running so as to maintain the live media within it altho' I've given/sold off all my ricordias within my tank.. Yes, surface skimmer can be sold separately if price reasonable. Give me a quote.. Btw, I've an Eheim Liberty 2000 filter as well. It's a hung on filter with with water flowing back to the tank in a "waterfall" fashion. Quite efficient for small tank. Used it prior to my canister & before i increase my coral stock. Letting it go at $20. Filter media not included for this.

Decommissioning my tank as I'll be posted overseas for 2 years. Selling my Red Sea Prizm Skimmer. Believe it's one of the most efficient skimmer available. Suitable for reef aquariums up to 100 gallons/400 liters. A hang-on skimmer that saves valuable water space, I used it even for my 2 ft tank. Its convergent-divergent reaction chamber with "triple-pass" air flow effectively enhances skimming time; 18-blade "turbotjet" air injector -generates a constant & homogenous stream of micro-bubbles. Unlike traditional skimmer, there's no maintainance needed to change the air-stone. The skimmer has been used for about a year & half. Market price is around $210. Letting it go at $80.

Decommissioning my tank as I'll be posted overseas for 2 years. Selling my Eheim Ecco 2231 Canister Filter & Eheim Surface Skimmer. Canister is suitable for aquarium up to 100 liters; suitable for 2 ft tank; pump 300 liters/hr. Full priming system (ie. so manual ###### of water needed). Comes with 2-trays; live filter media included; still keeping filter still running. Comes attached with Eheim Surface Skimmer. The filters have been used for about a year & half. I think the total market price is probably around $170+. Am letting both go at $80.

I've got some Yumas & Floridea Ricordia. I target feed them brime shrimps. They can eat a few (2-3) at one go. Ricordia seems to eat more & also more quickly. I switch off all my pumps during feeding. I'll also use a long chop-stick to "glide" any brime shrimps that might have missed their mark towards the ricordia's mouth. They'll swallow it under 2 minutes. If it's farther from the mouth, eg. near the edge of their flap, their surrounding bubbles will still catch the food but they'll take a longer time to transfer it to their mouth. As I've quite a no. of shrimps in my tank, I'll usually keep my chop-stick nearby like a mother hen to fend off any potential "thief". Usually, to kurb this incessant robbing by the shrimps, I'll also feed flakes before I drop the brime shrimps. I target feed as often as every day but the whole process of fending off "thiefs" can be quite tedious. They can probably survive without this target feeding but I notice that they do grow bigger with this additional source of protein. Incidentally, from what I read at RC, lighting only provide corals with carbohydrates which gives them the energy for their basic functions however protein is required for growth & this is only derived from feeding. Also, corals feed on zooplankton (ie microscopic animals) & generally don't feed directly on phytoplanton (ie microscopic plants, eg. DTs). Worms (eg. feather duster & other filter feeders) will feed on DTs. If your tank have a balance ecosytem, the excretion or spawn from these worms can then be a very good albeit indirect source of food for the corals.

I've never tried the blue. But I've tried the red, the orange, one with beige plates on orange base & also a black-pink-spotted star. I've not been successful in any of them. Most last not more than 3 months. The biggest problem i think is I can't figure what they feed on. Most shops say u dn't have to feed; that they scavenge around & feed on detrius or algae... from my personal experience (& it's just mine) I don't witness any of these. They crawl around the tank & (like one writer says) crawl to the top of the tank & stick one arm out on the water surface but I not sure what's the reason behind those behaviour. I suspect most of mine died of starvation eventually. The black-pink-spotted star lasted the longest, about 9 months, but that was because it fed on the sponges & squirts in my tank. When these where finally depleted, it shrunk & finally died (of starvation i supposed) & I'm left with a tank with much less interesting live rocks... If u still want to try the stars, my advice is try to read up on what exactly that particular star feed on. Also, I think certain shrimp (like camel) will attack a star if it flips over. Btw, I'm also eager to hear from any one with personal experience of keeping a star alive for more than 6 months.
