all silicon used for holding glass together are the same in my knowledge.. unless u go for dow corning black silicon which is stronger but takes much longer to set. think companies come up with reef-safe silicon to mark up the price. silicon should always be kept dry while it is setting.

Just came back from korea.. got what outing?

Again?

u dun have circulation in your tank? U definitely need circulation. add in all the biological filtration media that u intend to have now to let the bacteria colonise them.. all liverocks biohome etc.

NSW u buy from LFS is from SIngapore waters too. it's true. Large trucks go to the beach and pump large amounts of water into their water tank and transports it to LFSes to be sold.

Which lobo u selling? The red one ah?

haha u infatuated liao... might not be a reefer at all.. maybe just someone who wants to go look at some marine Livestock.. free aquarium visit.

come my house.. haha if u all still awake... U all wanna visit reefer's house can always come my house! then we chiong supper. haha Yishun ave 4

haha ok lah. understand how u feel. not forcing u to pass me the piece just hoping you'd do so.. hehehe... it's in the blood of the reefer.. all is good. remember to jio me for LFSing leh.. or when u are selling any of your GIWS. hehe

no lah. I only have one small red brain. so want another.. tts why now hoping to get that piece.. hehe

I always sweep all the salt crystals formed on my tank brace into the tank. the salt crystals fall on my corals etc no problem. But I think changing water is totally different. When u change a substantial amount of ur tank water, say 30%, u must ensure the salt is fully dissolved and all reactions have stopped before adding to main tank. If u pour the newly mixed water in straightaway, the exorthermic reactions that takes place will shock the corals. Try mixing one pail full of salt water. add the salt needed at one go. feel the salt and water. you will feel that the water is v warm and even hot. this is due to exorthermic reactions taking place. It is probably the stress that induced ich outbreak. these salt crystals cannot logically directly effect an ich outbreak.

there's never enough!

wah.. okok.. haha.. sell me sell me... hehe..

indeed very fast..

haha.. u will sell meh? sell me all your gems! okok consider letting me have instead lah

wow.. u got good informants.. you getting a red brain from untouchables some more huh? let me get it instead lah.. you got so many gems liao on? hehe.

wow.. where'd u get it? u always get nice stuff haha... where got shipment?how come I dunno? jio me when LFSing leh..

no.. they pump sea water from seaside into a large truck then send it to the LFS then they pack. so you are actually buying Natural Sea Water from the LFS

as long as the bioballs dun trap detritus and solid waste it should not be a nitrate factory. You should utilise Filter wool to filter off any large organic particles from the water before allowing the water to pass thru the bioballs. But of course this filter wool has to be raised above the water level otherwise you're not achieving anything. The concept behind this is that, the solid organic particles dun get to stay in the water and rot thus no nitrate will accumulate in the water. I'm not too sure abt riot's views though. if you're talking about creating anaerobic conditions, submerging it in the water is useless. There is a high level of dissolved oxygen in the water thus it is still aerobic. This is the reason why DSBs and Plenums are required to be set up for NNR.
