  1. Where did you buy the brine shrimp hatchery?
  2. You ask Indian chief what he has for you lor...I won't have anything new until ard April...
  3. No lah...not interested to be supplier... Anyway, will try for monthly or once per 2-3 months shipments... Whatever excess I have will then be put on sale but if I can get what I actually want, then there will be very few for sale...
  4. I really have no idea what the name is and basically I find that people use names just to get a higher price for their zoas. You could probably go to coralpedia and do a search and you would probably get the name of the zoa.
  5. Ya... reservist lah... I only organise shipment for myself lah... But next time will only get shipments in if i can confirm with the supplier that I can get the very nice rics, nice and rare carribean mushrooms and of course zoas...
  6. One solution I can think of is to put live rocks in your sump and dose a lot of live copepods there and let them populate in your sump. When u go overseas, catch out your mandarins and seahorse and put them in the sump. They should be able to feed on the copepods. Otherwise i'm thinking you can use a feeder pump to pump frozen mysis mixed in a bucket of NSW up to your tank and use a timer to control the feeder pump. You could throw in an iceprobe to cool the water. But not sure if it would actually work in real life.
  7. I would say that the MCE600 is a very good skimmer for the 2x1x1 tank. I'm using it you know...
  8. Yeah you are right. the bidding prices are way toooo high these days especially for zoas. Best part is they are more expensive that what US websites are selling for their rare zoas also. Would rather get the LFSes to bring in the rare zoas for me if their suppliers have these and pay a bit more rather than bid in the pasar malam.
  9. You can refreeze the silver fish. No problem and you can keep it for a long time when frozen...
  10. If you move from a 1/4HP to a 1HP chiller, the effect is that the 1HP chiller will use 4x the electricity of the 1/4HP chiller assuming everything is the same. So to get a savings in electricity usage, your 1HP chiller must kick in less than 1/4 of what your current chiller is doing. E.g if your current chiller kicks in for 20 mins and kicks out for 1hr each time, then the 1HP chiller must only kick in for 5 mins and kick out for 1hr in order to use the same amount of electricity. You must also consider how much current is consumed by the artica and the 1HP chiller when it is on standby. This will also have an effect on your electrical consumption since your chiller should be on standby most of the time.
  11. Paul, A few things to take note of: 1) What is the temperature your chiller is set at? A 1 degC difference can cause a big jump in electrical consumption of your chiller. For my 3x2x2 tank, when my chiller was set at 26degC, my average daily electrical consumption was abt 22-24 kwh. When I increased the chiller temp to 28 degC, my average daily electrical consumption decreased to between 16-20kwh. 2) Your average electrical consumption for the 5 months is 576 kwh. Average daily electrical consumption is around 18-19kwh which I think is quite reasonable. 3) I would suggest that you take the readings from your electric meter daily for the next 1 week to see how much the daily electrical usage is. To be frank, I think using a 1HP titanium coil chiller would use much more electricity than your current artica chiller.
  12. According to this website, YOU CAN..... http://www.unassistedchildbirth.com/miscar...es/milkmen.html
  13. No need lah...juz sell off your super duper red gonio and you can buy many tins of milk powder liao...
