oh, all of u guys tried triton and came up with these conclusions?

the song lol

I used flatworm exit, but u cannot use the recommended dosage as that dosage is for flatworms, nudis are hardier, usually i use 1.5 to 2 times stronger dosage. FWE is reef safe, however if u have a lot of nudis, when they die, they release a toxin. so what i did was to get ready a bag of activated carbon after the dosage (Do not put in the activated carbon at the start, put it in after about 15 min, this is to prevent the activated carbon from reacting with FWE) After dosing, I noticed a lot of those small brittle sea stars getting knocked out, ad started floating around, they seemed to be affected, but after a day they returned to normal. The following was my dosing regime Day 1: dose Day 2: water change (to remove excess toxin that are not removed by activated carbon) Day 3: dose again (in case of nudis who were hiding and not exposed) Day 4: water change Day 5: fresh water dip the zoas Day 6: Rest Day 7/8: Dose (this dosage is to target eggs that were not hatched at the time of your 2 previous dosage, nudis eggs are like Tim Howard, they block every @!$@$ hurled at them) Most of us thought FWE doesn't work due to the fresh batch of nudis from the eggs. This was my personal experience, I had a successful battle. After this, I became very vigilant in QT process, especially when it comes to wild colony. QTing zoas are easier, you can put them in your refugium (assuming that you have a sock between your refugium and return) or any compartment before your sock. Zoas are hardier, they can tank a few days without light. During QT, you can FWE/ FW dip them and observe them, you should also deliberately look out for eggs and scrap them off with toothpick. After all this is done, you go pray. Note: If you want your wrasse to actively hunt them and eat them, you have to be very discpline and not overfeed your wrasse with good stuff, nobody eats primary school canteen leftover chicken after you have tasted KFC bucket. Also some wrasse are better at eating primary school canteen leftover chicken than others, do checked with the fish gurus here like bro Fuel

These are all outdated, mostly from 2010-2012 prices let's all try to update this? Prices here are rough estimates only and based on individual reefer's experience. Discounted and bulk buying price should not be used. Prices will vary from shop to shop due to many factors such as region/breed/size of fish, economic sense, operation cost, quarantine methods, import quantity, pellet/frozen food trained, bargaining, stock clearance, etc. Names of LFS should not be added.

If wild colonies $50-$70 per colony. Australia sps wild colonies range from $120 per colony to $600 for large ssc colony which I personally think the recent price hike on ssc is ridiculous. A wild colony size easily can have 10-20 frags. So you do your maths and see if its worth or not. In my principle, I dont mind paying extra 20-30% more for frags that are stable n well encrusted on plugs.

I remembered that my previous blennies don't play well with each other and usually only 1 is left after repeated aggression. Any recommendations for those who would like to keep different species? (assuming enough spaces)

http://www.redseafish.com/index.aspx?id=4418 Try this, I saw this at Iwarna last week

it should be readily available, its the same paste you use to kill aiptasia there is this thingy call Aiptasia X which comes with a syringe

looks like a majano anemone, while it is as problematic as the aiptasia, it is easier to remove http://www.saltyunderground.com/article_info.php?articles_id=2

likely a juvenile colouration

look for joe P at Iwarna for emerald crabs, think he has a few

my water heater can reach around 60 degree C, no need boiling water

The trick is any form of detergent with hot water. One wipe done. Learnt from a fellow hen pecked reefer. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Lets all repent!!!!!!!!!! 60% of us in this thread, REPENT more good years ahead!!!!! on a side note, lets move on, we came here to learn from one another, we might have differences, we might have questions, but we are all here cause we love fishes and corals to begin with

very pap can means its good wo. i know solo ish a pappy supporter le

Open for sale, I rem going down for 3am shipment of walt smith SPS thinking I would be the only one, lol I saw almost 20 others waiting for the shipment to arrive and grab them happy days

maybe could try to get gloves? http://www.marinedepot.com/maintenance_gloves-ap.html

Seen a lot of cabs coming in, it's not very far away from residential/commercial zones, maybe a 2 min drive from the nearest HDB to the farm. So I don't think there are issues with cabs wanting to go in. It is definitely not as ulu as the other farms. As for exiting, just let the Iwarna staff know, they will help you call cab out. Sometimes you could even hitch a ride from the hobbyists gathered there.

Try to get from Iwarna, Bro Fuel from aquafauna brings them in from overseas

Another method you could try would be to purchase live pods, there are quite a few different types and sizes from Reef Nutrition and also live copepods which LFS or hobbyist sell occasionally. Dose them into the tank regularly so that there is always live food in the tank for the fishes to pick on etc, or you could do a dosage just before u go travelling. If you have the funds, you could instead invest in a dosing pump and hook it on to Brightwell liquid food which also come in various sizes. These are usually free floating zooplankton which are fish natural diet in the wild.

correct me if i am wrong, there shouldnt be ammonia unless there are some rotting things inside ur water tank????

Would be better to add them when it is dark and the fishes are sleeping, sometimes the fishes are accustomed to feedings that are drop from the top of the tank such that anything that comes in = food

Called Iwarna, There is a nice shipment from Red Sea and Mexico Sohals and some red sea butterflies, not your usual fishes http://www.junglewalk.com/animal-pictures/675/Red-Sea-Chevron-Butterfly-Fish-14145.jpg And also blue spot jawfishes from reputable collectors i heard!

haha thanks for the prompt reply
