Sera Siporax Algovec Professional or Sera Siporax Bia Active Professional? How frequently or do they need to be washed every now and then?

Ever since I started my pico and then change to nano tank, many years ago, I have been using the normal ceramic/bio rings in my tank, those old un-branded type. Now want to switch them with either Maxspect or Marinepure balls. Would like a gauge from this portal, which is the more popular type to use. All feedback, suggestions, recommendation are most welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully clearer pics

PM for interest. Collection Telok Blangah, near Safra Mount Faber, on Saturday 5pm onwards. Pic taken straight from iPhone. No color enhancement.

This 2 paired up for a few years already. Can’t remember when they first spawned.

Sadly I don't have the time to rear the fries. Thus they come and they go.

After so many spawns, finally managed to capture the process this time. 048C7CB4-7754-412B-9087-251877EC6AA7.mov

Letting go this hand-size Leather Coral for $50. My clown keeps irritating it by dropping sand on it, thus won’t open fully most of the time. PM if interested.

Serious Bro? How big is your tank, that causes the consumption to double?

You said "increase to", meaning before tank, your full electricity bill was below $100. After tank, it is over $100. So how much was the increase itself due to inclusion of tank? And what is your tank capacity/size?

Yes, if you use this method, please make sure all Vinegar are washed away before introducing Bleach. These 2 liquids mix to produce Chlorine, which is toxic/poisonous at high levels.

Your infestation looks really bad. If pieces of the LR are removable and not having any corals, maybe take it out and kill it. Then let the peppermint shrimps take care of the balance. Alternatively, remove the LR with corals, isolate them in your sump/refugium/separate tank together with the peppermints and let them slowly eat it up.

Most (if not all) carpet anemone I see are always on the floor. Is it that carpet need less lights than most anemone?

I have always had this impression that Carpet Anemone is dangerous, as your tank inhabitants could accidentally swim/walk too close to it and touch its sticky tentacles, thus become anemone food. Would like to hear more comments and feedback on this coral. Thanks.

Dunno why my Sunny-D on LR morphed, but those on frag tray stayed the same. Strange, but nice surprise:)

I'm also very curious about the HOB tank. How is the water pump in and how it flows out? Does it need a specially designed/shaped tank to do it, or would any tank work? And most importantly, what's the chances of overflow from the HOB.

You already know it yourself. 1 gallon is way way too small for an octopus, and that is an understatement. Not meaning to be rude or anything, but don't even think about adding anything into the tank. You will only be crowding out the limited space, reducing the water volume and sending the nutrients way up higher than what I suspect is already very high That it is surviving, doesn't mean it is not suffering. Please do yourself and the poor octopus a favour, and get a bigger tank for it. You will feel more at ease and so will the octopus.

Do you siphon the pods out before adding to the tank? Or pour the whole bag content (ie. pods and water) into tank?

Sorry, it’s GIVE, not WTS

Pls bring own bag/container. And I only cut, you have to glue or tie down to plug of LR yourself, at home.

Have a huge Toadstool that need to trim. If anyone can come collect before 1pm, frag is yours for free. FCFS, contact Nine0two200two1. Pls confirm before coming down to avoid disappointment. location 100059

Got a piece from this nice Reefer. Very nice frag:)

“E” collected ”I” collected

Tqvm! The “strings” dies look like the mentioned coeloplana. Did it cause any problems or issues with your tank?
