  2. after putting the remaining few strand of chaeto near the window for 2 weeks ... with occasional adding of used tank water, can see there is actually growth .. though not grren grwwn with oily glow, but at least not turning brown or breaking into pieces now will try out new experiment ... .. cheapo lah.. nano glo still too high a price will use the E14 light holder with a 5W Philips bulb (equal to 25W wor) gona ON the light for 16hours ... if cannot make it .. go for nano glo .. else invest $$ saved on LPS

  8. blue or red legged hermit and astrea snail. together with semchem phosguard and rowaphos + at least weekly husbandry = diatom free seems like red legged hermit is better according to review, at least more peaceful... I have the blue legged hermit... good cleaner but a bit rough on my nassauius ... i always use my extra long chopstick to 华山论贱 with that bar-girl!
  9. madpetz is arcadia... cool price too what about hydor?.. other than AM... on a second thought ... moonlight should be white leh
  10. any idea where to get the hydor moonlight BLUE? AM only has the white one and the new shipment like take forever ... start waiting since before national day that's why opt for arcadia ... anyway it's round round looks cute
  11. Thought of getting this. looks nice underwater is 1W LED ... but afraid it was generate heat anyone using this product? Can install above water?
  12. it kinda hide its bare body in between 2 rocks nicely & spare me the "unsightly" view and is also the position i wanted mud tube already started to form so will leave it the lfs lady not on purpose... anyway i end up with a better deal
  13. likely the key to its survival is to have sufficient duration of light i leave my remaining few strand of chaeto in a container and placed near the window no water movement, just sunlight and occasional addition of tank "used" water somehow they survive and probably grow a little though a little pale but at least did not turn colorless and rot
  14. bought this worm 3 days ago and yesterday it adjusted itself to stick to the liverock and I thought it happy liao sekali just now came back it is out of the tube I guess it give it up to another tubeworm that is sharing the same tube cos when the lfs lady try to split the tube, she kinda push the other one into the same tube as the one i wanted now it sticks next to the old tube on the liverock with its crown still attached. I have another tubeworm that is with me for weeks so unlikely is water or feeding issues. please advice what should I do? try to put it back into old tube? if it is gona make a new tube how long would that take?
  15. use fan water evaporation quite a bit for my small 45L tank, evaporate around 300ml a day after getting chiller ... no need to busy add water daily anxiously waiting to see my electrical bill for this month
  16. getting crowded where to put florida ricordea coming christmas
  17. just curious how come sump is more troublesome than canister? i started off with canister ... "mislead" by a colleague who keeps fresh water fish still remember is ehiem model 2222 I dislike opening the canister for maintenance .. worst, that model needs priming with a sump I can just grab and go ... most importantly got visibility and bigger area to work with
  18. Typically how long to leave the lights ON? For my setup as I afraid of alage or diatom boomz , I try to limit the duration to about 4-5 hrs, 4-9pm. So far manage to have phospate, silicate, alage & diatoms under control ... I thought of increasing the duration gradually I believe LFS display tank all turn ON their lights for very on hours Is there any guide on recommended duration? Perhaps follow the Sun is the max.? I placed my tank in a room. From sun rise till afternoon 4pm the room is dim as the window is not open fully in case heavy rain and nobody around. So the tank also dim. Is it better to ON partial at least from noon onwards? Any best practice? Can share your approach and experience?
  19. the test kit box will tell you good for how many test new tank, problem tank more often, few time a week? no fix rule ba. if reading consistent then can cut down lor... stable tank less often ...
  20. you can check sponsors like Madpetz or AM http://www.madpetz.com.sg/index.php I usually buy at AM .. they have API and Salifert just go to their website and surf for test kits... have a feel of what's in the market ba API is for basic test to me.... I use salifert if want a bit more accurate. nowadays price for test kits drop alot ... most are ard $10+ - $20+ for a start test for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH, phosphate, silicate, dKH & calcium ba
  21. test kits somehow can come up to quite an amount maybe can also consider those that come in a set
  22. Can advise where to get Coral Rx Pro? and the price?
