Guys, time to decom. Give away 4-ft tank and cabinet. All other equipment (MP10wes, skimmer, light, chiller, 4-stage RODI, jerry cans, refractometer, TDS meter) up for sale. Message me if you are interested.

ok - posting under bulk purchase

$248 divide by 5 of us. each pay $49.60 (saves $27.40 if you buy 100ml at $77)

not sure if this is the right forum. I am interested to buy the Nualgi 500ml, but probably only need 100ml. Staying at Dairy Farm. Anyone nearby interested to share the remaining 400ml - maybe 4 persons can take 100ml each?

did not see the shrimps bothering my corals...

$15 per shrimp. make sure you acclimatise them - at least over 1 hour period.... my first purchase of 2 shrimps died because of that.. the second purchase of 5 shrimps survived after the acclimatisation.

Bought 5 from lck recently. All my aiptasia disappeared after few days.. Not sure if there is any left at lck... Call them

My cleaner wrasse was introduced on 12 aug 12. Still going strong.. Feed once a day with mysis only.

how is the water flow ? need to be quite fast (mine is around 2000+ litre per hour) may want to try seeding with some green hair algae

sorry take so long. last harvest scrubbed too clean. see harvest today. I feed 2 mysis cube and Henry Gourmet everyday. little green hair algae left is display tank - to feed my only urchin

I mean nsw

Use new from lck201. Salinity 1.025. No complain.

Thanks Mike. Your 2 free frags are surviving well.

After 15 months.. Some updated photos to share.. Using 2 Kessil A350 tuna blue. Love the lights!

Just harvested yesterday. Post picture next week

water from skimmer is about 1000 l/h flow (from Eheim 1000 pump) water from overflow to chiller than to the scrubber

see pic. I am using Aqua Z white led (for plant) - from East Ocean

My DIY algae scrubber : a plastic paint tray, a plastic gauze, and LED light. Plastic gauze is roughen, then placed on top of the paint tray. Seed the gauze with some algae. Place the paint tray in the sump in horizontal position. Water from my skimmer and overflow lws over the gauze, then to the sump. LED is above the gauze. LED is on 12 to 14 hours. Grow lots go algae every week. Total cost of paint tray and gauze : $6, from any hardware store.

Bought white vinegar from Phoon Huat. Can it be used? No flavorings or preservatives. Also thinking of using to kill some aiptasia

The AT at LCK is 3 blue 2 red for the smaller one, and 3 blue 3 red for the bigger one. 2 AT left when I left LCK just now.

Check for hitchhikers - crabs maybe in your live rocks. Happened to my fire fish also

see the picture. healthy, eating regularly for the past3 weeks..

have 2 small clowns but do not wish to keep as they irritate the goniopora.. keen to swap for some small fish or invert. PM me if interested.

another week passed ... feeding daily phytofeast live and zoofeast live, target feed the sun also. daily change of 4 litres water and removing of detritus from tank and sump rainbar removed, added one more wavemaker.. waiting for my mp10wes (2 of them) in the coming week... so far so good.. the corals are opening, except for the green goniopora (last pic)?? the other goniopora is very happy from day one - open up around 2 inches rich nutrients - daily skimmer empty 1 cm junk..

iskay : to be perfectly honest - my purchase was made in impulse at JM - u know what I meant. I re-negotiated (rejected the quick start) and changed the config to over-flow, added the chiller, skimmer etc at my own costs. The package included the corals - which JM added at one go. Understood after some research that the Sun may be tough to keep - will do target feeding etc. ya - the Sun doesn't open much ... Rushact: picture taken when the white LED is off. I have 150W (2 white strips and 1 blue strip) LED - hope it is sufficient?
