Thanks bro, that will definitely be in my consideration for my next setup! Thanks, its nothing compared to the other bros here. Haha

Any blue or purple tang spotted? TIA

My ph is around 7.7-7.8. Seems a little low? How should I bring it up? I was looking at adding bacteria king as my media,will it help? The media looks big though got my canister.

Got my Pinpoint PH Meter and I have the following airbubble in the probe. Anyone of other reefers have this as well? I asked the LFS which I bought from and also reef depot, they said the gel like solution inside with air bubble is normal. I have checked with a couple of people, they dun have this in their probe though.

Thanks! Certainly need the "force"

I checked with the LFS and they say in the probe, there is supposed to be 10% air and 90% liquid so its normal. Hmmm.. Any other users to share their view? P.S to mods: Sorry if I posted this to the wrong section, and I am wondering if its more apporiate here:Marine Aquarium Equipment/Additives , if yes could I trouble you to move it please? Thanks!

Hey bro, got receive my pm?

Dear reefers, I just got my new Pinpoint PH meter and probe today and after calibration, I put it into my tank and I realised there is this airbubble/pocket present(see pic). I tried to shake it gently but it is still present. Anyone can tell me if this is normal or should I go back to the shop and let them know of this problem. Thanks in advance!

Thanks bro, looking to keep some softies and easy corals for a start. Still do not have specific ones but will thread carefully when I go lfs shopping. You are so right, I sent my canister to change the primer o-ring as it was leaking from there..lucky my father discovered it when I was away from home. Haha thanks for the pointers bro! I initially wanted to start with around 34 litres but decided to go with 64 litres instead. Judging on the water I made for my canisters, my entire water volume should be around 80 plus litres, without taking into consideration of rocks and sand though. I am using Red Sea Coral Pro right now.

Thanks for the pointers! Yup I heard about the nitrate factory thingy..will try to clean often..haha My sand is around 4-5cm, care to share what might be the potential problem? Is it the possible release of ammonia or other harmful gases might be accumulated ? Thanks

Thanks bro, I think so too. Haha, I was quite kiasu previous when I was keeping CRS, as I have a space constrain in terms of the size of tank, the next best thing I could do is to increase the volume by increasing my filtration. Having a sump is bound to have folks at home making noise, so I stick to these canisters and hopefully it will come good. No choice, have to be hardworking for hobby. haha

Haha...yeah! Looking forward to an exciting journey ahead!

Thanks guys, hoping to learn from the friendly seniors here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, after dabbling in freshwater (CRS,KK,WR shrimps, planted, topical fishes) for 3-4 years, I finally took the courage to go into salty territory. Cost was of course a big factor to consider as I am still pretty green in the working world, so I took the combination of combining of reusing my freshwater equipment and SRC's very own pasar malam. Met a few nice reefers who are very willing to share and answer my newbie questions. A snapshot of my setup: Tank: ANS Opticube (Crystal Glass - 60cm x 30cm x 36cm) Light: Maxspect G2 160W Filtration 1 : Eheim Pro 2 2028 connected in series to Atman CF1200(dummy) Filtration 2 : Eheim Pro 2226 connected in series to Atman CF600 and Eheim Classic 2213 Filtration 3 : Totto Perfect Filter S size Skimmer: Red Sea Prizm Deluxe Chiller : Teco RA 200 1/10HP Wavemaker: Fluval SEA CP1 Substrates: CaribSea Arag-Alive Bahamas Oolite (20lbs) + CaribSea Ocean Direct Oolite (10lbs) Rock: 2 pieces, 4kg & 6kg Currently cycling with Brightwell Aquatics Microbacter7 Pictures coming soon...

My tank is 60*30*36 I got a 20lbs bag(arag alive Bahama Oolite) and 2 packs of 5lbs(ocean direct Oolite)

Yup yup, about to do

Thanks for all your replies! I got them at Madpetz and I carried them home. No joke, it was heavy!

Looking for the above, good working condition for the set (controller & probe) Looking at around $50-60, depending on condition. Pm if you have one to let go. Thanks!

I used the hanging kit instead. Thanks

Yes bro, you are right! When that happens, the livestock suffer. The key is speed, they should reach you in 3 days top (assuming you are shipping from Asia) and the best is to get them to ship on Tuesdays if I remember correctly. As Monday they might be clearing the mails from the weekend and they might hold it at that premises for that day and that means 1 additional day in the bag for your livestock, Tuesday would be good as that gives you a little buffer tha in case you need to collect at AVA, you can do so before they go off for their weekends.

If you have friends in the countries you want to get the fishes from, you could ask them to EMS to you. I did it for shrimps previously and it was alright. As long as it doesn't exceed the "hand carry" limit. Shipment was held by AVA once before bag burst and water was leaking out, but it was returned without issues. Although they will tell you not to let that happen again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sorry mods for the multiple posts. Could help to delete the rest? Thanks
