Price reduce to $80. Upzz...

Hmmm, syringe dose directly at the corals or broadcast at the high flow area as suggested on the box instructions? I only started dosing yesterday and did the manual broadcast method.

Cool. Can't want to see the results in a months time. You does manually or use a dosing pump?

Don't see why not. Read somewhere that prepared sea water mix can be stored till ready to use.

Just got a small little bottle to try out yesterday. Will let you know of the results in a months time. Btw, do you dose daily? Cos I ready the instructions states to dose daily.

As a comparision, my 3ft x 2ft x 2ft already cost me more than 4k, and that is after getting a 2nd hand tank, new chiller, lighting, etc, etc. And this was excluding lifestock and corals. With LS and corals easilly add another 1.5k. When I convert to marine, I never imagine that I'll spend close to 300 on rocks! And it's suppose to be alive! Guess I left my sanity and wallet at the bottom of my tank. Compare this to my old 5ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft aro tank, whole setup alone only cost me about 3k, all brand new stuffs. And this was exculding the XB. So ya, I'll say marine is dame expensive! Not to mention the monthly electrical bills...... Even with years of experience in freshwater tanks and aro, I was cation when switching to marine and know of the cost and effort involved when I finally decided to settle for a 3ft tank. Even so, I never expected to spend more than 5k on this small 3ft tank. So do reconsider and start within your means.

Hmmm, SeaLife????

Hmmm, I feed my sun twice everyday, once before I go work and once in the evening. I feed them a mixture of brine and mystic shrimps. But usually the night feed they don't eat much cos they're alway close when the lights are on. They seems to be doing fine so far. Eveny night when lights off, will open up big big.

Hi Bro, confirm SL have Cirrhilabrus laboutei? IF so maybe I make a trip down later.

Hi, I'm having crab problems too. But the problem with setting traps in my tank is that my nassariu snails will get to the bait first before the crab. So should I catch all the snails and isloate them prior to catching the crabs?

Reefocto ORCA 100 Ya Used about 1 1/4 tube. Am monitoring the situation now. Rest of the fishes seems okie so far. I used the TLF AquaStik Underwater Epoxy Putty. Problem is I was doing some rescaping after catching some crabs on certain LR. Did consider using the BSI gel but that would mean I would need to use much more of those. This morning, the skimmer is still overskimming but it seems to be improving. Don't see so many forms collected at the collection cup as compared to previous days. Hope things improved, if not, I'll have to do some major waterchange. Haiz, another lesson learned the hard way.

50% water change is a lot. I'm trying to avoid that as it's swing the parameters within the tank. I've lost a SPS due to too sudden increase in kH liao.... Hmmm, maybe I should try active carbon. Can't lower the water level as it is an in sump unit and is at a fix level. I've however open the skimmer exit at maximum liao....

Hi all, My Skimmer decided to go crazy on me after I've used some epoxy. Skimmer is overskimming and forms are overflowing from the collection cup. Also lots of micro bubbles coming from the exit of the skimmer. I've done a search both online and in SRC and found that the skimmer usially goes back to normal after a few days. But it have been 5 days and it's still the same. I've even cleaned up the skimmer today but it's still gone crazy on me. Did scaping last firday, sunday did a 10% water change, today clean up skimmer but it's still overskimming with bubbles overflowing from both the collection cup and exit. Anyone can advice on what I should do? Some of my zoas and SPS started to show signs of stress and I've lost a 6 line wrasses and sally lightfoot since last friday.

Many thanks

interesting. Can anyone tell me where to get this?

Thanks all, Ya, as highlighted, I do top up the water, it's just not as much as what I've read in the forum, only minimum top up.

That's the problem. There are some evaporation. But not what I've read in forums or discussion with others where I need to add in more than 1 liter or water per week. I don't seem to have to do that, for now. Previously, when I'm keeping aro without chiller in a 5 feet tank with only 1 tube of T8, the evaporation was like about 1 liter every 2 to 3 days. I'm wondering if it is due to the fact that I'm running a chiller. Measured using refractor meter.

Me! Took me 3 weeks before deciding to get it. No regards!

Hi, I'm currently running a 3ft x 2ft x 2ft tank with sump. The tank have been running for about 6 weeks but the funny thing is, I don't see a massive drop in the water level that requires me to top up the water like what I've read in the forum. I've check the SG at least once per week and it's constantly at 1.020~21. I've done weekly waterchange of at least 10% and am running the tank with 6 tube T5HO and a 1/4hp chiller set at 25~26 degrees. While there are some water lost due to evaporation, it's minimum and doesn't seem to affect the SG. Is this normal? Especially so with the recent hot spells.

reserved pending collection tonight.

Want to give my Goniopora away for a 1.5l bottle of coke. This bugger opens up to more than twice it's body size. Fully extended seems to be around 6". Unextended only about 3". Poly looks Ilumm under antinic light. Stem column color seems to be reddish brown. Currently host by my only clownfish. Reason for giving, want to free up that space urgently for my new crocea clam, it's mantle seems to be turning brown this morning after I got it yesterday with a maxima. Lost the Maxima this morning, don't wanna lost the crocea too. Collect at Sembawang area. Interested party please sms/call me at 97676950. Will give to first person that contact me via sms/call and can collect by tonight.

Thanks bro. Any idea on the specific species, i.e. their scientific name?

I have some Narsarrious snails and you are right, their shells are different. These are more elongated as compare to the Narsarrious snails which is not smooth elongated. Their shell shapes are like cone snail and have a texture like cowrie... So I'm also not sure what type of snails are they. Had tried looking for it online but couldn't find it.

Hi all, just started with some SPS but I need so experts to help me ID these SPS. I think there's a acropora and a few montipora. Appriciate if you can give me the scientific name. thanks.

Hi guys and gals, Need your help to ID these snails. Was told that they were sand shifting snails but I'm afraid that they might be cone snails. Seen them barrowing down into the sand. But when I set trap with market prawn to catch some crabs last night, these snails came into the trap. Had a few missing fishes since I intro them into the tank and was wondering if these are the culprit. If they are indeed cone snails, then it's very likely....
