Hi everyone, does anyone here have any experience with dosing bacteria to keep algae down? a few years ago I had a tank with alot of algae but when i dosed some bacteria the algae suddenly disappeared, but i'm not sure if it was just a fluke so looking for some confirmation.

Thanks for all the input guys. Gives me some peace of mind Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

Did you have palys in that tank? Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

Hi, as most of you may know, palythoas are toxic when ingested, but does anybody have experience with a paly harming a fish that maybe brushed against it? I'm getting a frogfish and i'm worried it will get hurt if it rests on a paly.

you have a good point, and i did think they might be pest too, but they have been in my tank since the beginning and haven't really seen any damage done to the coral. I'll post a pic and hopefully my camera phone can capture the details. They hang around mostly on the glass, haven't seen them on corals.

Hi everyone, I'd like to present my 1L pico reef inspired by reef vases. Currently it is only holding softies like Xenia and different kinds of Zoanthids and Palythoas and a lot of brown little slugs, copepods, and bristleworms, theres even a oyster of some sort although its not very visible (on the right side of the tank blending in with the rockwork). Equipment used includes a glass jar i bought from Daiso, an Airpump with airline tubing, a plastic container lid i place on the top to prevent evaporation, and lastly a Beamswork LED, i can't remember which model but it cost about $40 plus. So total tank setup (not including corals) would be around $50 to $60. When I first started off, I overdosed microbacter7 to saturate the substrate with bacteria, and after about 2 week to a month I started adding new corals. Maintenance is done once a week, I do a 100% water change with coral pro red sea salt and pluck out as much algae as I can. I also dose 1 drop of Microbacter7 after each water change. I use a airline tubing to suck out all the water from the tank (up til the substrate level), and after wiping the inside of the tank with a piece of tissue, I slowly pour in the new water over my hand into the tank to prevent damage to the corals. I do not test the water parameters as I do 100% changes, aside from testing the salinity from time to time. The tank has been running since the beginning of March, and has not been without its share of problems in the beginning, but things have really started to stabilize and there is even sprouting of new zoanthid polyps. One of the issues I ran into is that introducing a number of corals at a time can trigger a bacterial bloom within half a day, but that was quickly remedied after doing a few 100% water changes. So taking that into consideration I decided that whenever I introduce livestock I should be around for that day to do a emergency water change. Aside from the issue of introducing too many livestock at once, the tank has been really stable, I really like this tank because it is my least troublesome tank that I have had so far. Being tiny allows me to appreciate the little things that go unnoticed like how the copepods scurry about their daily lives and the little details on corals. The rounded edges on the sides also act like a magnifying glass. Thanks for reading if you made it this far, feel free to ask me any questions!

Hi all, i'm looking for the above shrimp to eat Aiptasia, PM me your offers!

Hi all, i've been using aiptasia X, and i'd like to give the pros and cons here for others. Pros: it really does kill aiptasia, and it can remove the problem provided you follow the instructions, which says to basically smother the entire aiptasia in it, this is to prevent the root from regrowing, or spreading its seeds for lack of a better word. it doesn't seem to harm my mushroom corals. Cons: For those hard to reach Aiptasia which you can't see the base of it, this does not work as well, and it is likely to trigger spawning from the aiptasia. It has been shown to injure or kill my Zoanthids, tested this multiple times. Even if it touches the Mat of the zoanthid it starts to melt away the Mat. so for hard to reach aiptasia who hide between your corals, tough luck.

Hi guys, i'm looking for a LED bulb like one in the link below, anywhere in Singapore got sell this kind? also where do i get the hood/mount/fixture to place this kind of light bulb? http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/ABI-12W-Blue-and-White-LED-Grow-Light-Bulb-for-Reef-and-Freshwater-Aquarium-/251884952672?hash=item3aa5835c60:g:ZAIAAOSwAPVZEPM6 Thanks in advance!

All sold. Closed. Thanks to everyone who expressed interest.

3 of them for $5 each, they've been around my tank for few months already. Location: Bukit Batok.

Hi all, I have up to 3 reef safe halloween hermit crabs for trade, I'm looking for LPS/Softy coral frags, or perhaps another smallish reef safe hermit crab like scarlet crabs or Pom Pom Crabs. PM me if you're interested. Location: Bukit Batok.

oh thanks for the recommendation, where to find this light in Singapore?

hi guys, i need some recommendations on what lighting to get. Currently i'm using a 60cm Dymax Rex LED light, the box doesn't really mention stuff like specs but it cost like 60 to 70$ and i always hear people say lighting is one of the more expensive parts of the tank, so i'm kinda doubting that my light is really good for my corals since its cheaper than those few hundos lighting i keep seeing. My tank is 2 feet length, and close to 2 feet in height. Right now have softies and LPS, maybe considering SPS in future. Thanks!

thanks for the suggestions guys, as always people here are helpful. cheers!

Hi guys, i'm looking to add a 2 feet sump to my tank, was wondering if anyone knows a place that sells or makes them for a reasonable price.

How fast is the water flow when using a Di system? When I used RO the water just trickles out, is it the same for DI?

Water changes and top offs are also done using tap water treated with Seachem Prime, until i figure out how to remove my RO unit from my RO/DI system that is, then I will switch to DI water.

Welcome to my aquarium log! I've been a long time reefer with a 5 gallon tank which has been with me for 3 years (I might share this one next time), and therefore a month ago i decided to keep a frogfish tank as I have tried keeping one in the past in a 25 gallon tank but failed miserably as I made mistakes such as not establishing beneficial bacteria, not having enough live rock, poor filtration, etc. etc. but I find them so interesting and endearing. So somehow the spark got reignited and I now have a tank with a striated angler in it, i know they can get quite big, but the one i have now is small ATM, and I plan to let him go when he gets too big. Or maybe upgrade my tank so I can keep him. Tank Specs: Lighting: Dymax 2 Feet REX LED Filtration: 1400 L/H overhead filter with DIY drip tray > phosphate removal filter pad > filter floss pad > 100ml Purigen > 500ml Seachem Matrix. 440 L/H Eheim canister filter with 350ml Eheim mech ceramic rings > coarse filter pad > 750ml Seachem Matrix > 100ml Seachem Seagel > filter floss pad > carbon filter pad. 10kg Liverock 1 to 2 inch dry sand Flow: 600 L/H powerhead Livestock: Antennarius Striatus 3 Halloween hermit crabs Miscellaneous snails, asterina starfish, etc that came with the live rock. Temperature control: ANS cooling fan rated for 60L to 100L tanks Maintenance: Weekly: Feed frogfish either ghost shrimp/mollies/guppy. 10% water change change filter pad on overhead filter if needed dose Seachem Stabilty per instructions Monthly: Clean out Eheim canister; replace filter pads, rinse media with tank water, replace seagel when water color looks off, etc. I will post up close pictures next time!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi guys, I have an RO/DI unit at home, but it produces more waste water than I would like, I really hate watching the waste water go down the drain. So I am thinking of removing the RO unit and just run activated carbon with DI, Has anyone done this before? Did you manage to get 0 or close to 0 TDS water?
