Lol can't even notice the difference buddy

I believe aquarist chamber always has nice high grade rics available. Maybe u can drop by there and see.

Please dont use back the old sand, if your tank is already established for some time. Thats my only advise =D

Saving nemo. Wrasse style.

Your best bet is running a chiller with external pump. I never liked running fans on a nano. For the small water volume, evaporation has a big impact on the system. Ato will do the trick if you really plan on running fans

Haha we need some pics! From what I am gathering, seems like a high tech nano tank!

Answer will 90% be no for them to place the rocks back as it originally was. Good chance for u to change up the scape.

Hey dragon, is your nano set up already?

Good choice of lighting dragoncube

Wow excellent photos and great range of sps!! Bro, frag some for me eh

Yup, your phosphate is golden, just continue using the po4 remover, and change it as appropriate. I tend to change mine once a month. Dont have to dose CA, up your MG to 1350 and above.

Very beautiful tank indeed

Agreed, i use to keep mainly fishes in my tank, heavily overfed. Leading to the explosion of worms unknowingly. They are harmless and good scavengers. My tank was just unsightly with them crawling everywhere. Plenty made its way to the overflow compartment too. Thats when i had enough of it. lol.

I vote mandarin

Yup frogspawn.

Lol, bro ashwin, ur qt is twice my display length already.

Colour difference after two months. First picture taken on 22 Feb, 2nd picture was taken yesterday 18 Apr. All the sps guru please advise, is this normal, was told when buying it had lost all its colour. So pink to greenish is normal, or should i give it more light? The BN now is at its best condition since i got it, with plenty of new growth buds oberseved, just the colour change amuse me.

Got this yesterday from GO shipment, can anyone ID?

Hi the safe way to do this, is to add it slowly every week while testing weekly to notice the drop of nitrates. If your nitrates are not very high in the first place, u can put half recommended amount, and another half later, just split them. or 1/3 (over 3 weeks) or 1/4 (over 4 weeks) just depending on how high ur trates are. Alternatively, if u are impatient, dump everything and just pray things don't die. Key in this hobby is patience =D Make sure your skimmer is up and running, and effective by the way.

Heres a good thread, easy to diy. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1913372

Critter traps can be DIY easily. Search on google for bristle worm traps. More common traps: DIY Plastic bottle method (Cut bottle into half, invert one side onto the other) PVC Tube Trap ( 1 pvc tube, with end caps both side, drill holes on the end caps size of an adult bristle worm, place bait in middle) Women's Stocking / panty hose method (Put a bait inside panty hose, tie both ends, leave it near to infested rock) Chicken essence bottle method (more for crabs) They have a few commercially made traps, but not sure if its available here in sg. Havent seen any in stores. Its called Trap'em

Possible to share the link bro? These german made rocks.

+1, I had a bristleworm problem before. Done a fair bit of research, there isnt a fish that works well for these worms unfortunately. Have to manually remove them. Can grow into a population problem very soon. What i did was to kill my liverocks one at a time. Sadly, I was never able to completely get it under control. They tunnel very well into the rocks, and move very quickly when i tried using tongs to pick them up. A critter trap will probably work. Set one up, and see what u get overnight. Hopefully the population in your tank can still be controlled. I now remove any worms i see, be it good or bad. Just can't risk it again.

Thanks for the heads up. This was posted in 2010, i remembered reading it. So if there is no nitrate tester, their 2 months seems more like 4yrs https://reefbuilders.com/2010/08/10/hanna-checkers-ammonia-nitrate-ready-2-months/

Salifert will suffice, as long as u getting that nice clear transparent result. A tinge of blue means there is trace of phosphates. Salifert is significantly reliable, unless you really want pinpoint accuracy, than hanna will be useful, else don't waste the money, spend it on more important things, like phos remover to keep up with scheduled changes. If i really want a hanna test kit, personally, i did rather buy a nitrate hanna test kit over a phosphate one. Once u get phosphate low, and u keep up with the maintenance for phos remover. You can worry much lesser. Nitrate spikes happen more often. i.e Something died, overfeeding etc etc
