i think its glass anemone...like all anemones, they move and stings other corals... another thing is that they multiply pretty fast...so better take them out b4 your precious corals get attacked..

any pics??

my camera sucks...can't really show anything..now everything looks blue...14kk bulb + 2X39W actinic...very very blue... my camera is only 0.5pixel...so u can understand y i cannot show any pics...

hahahaha...good with lights i mean... but god of light?? i would say, god of DIY lights here is SRC...he's good... cardinal: yup he is the one to contact if u have problems with lights...

if u want i can help...but very ugly one... u buy me dinner and beer can already...but if u are looking for nicer ones, i suggest u get dr evil...he is god with lights...

i got it from a few places... end caps from bio ocean tubes from another LFS ballast from dr evil...

i dun think they will...in fact, i heard that they help to clear nitrate to a certain extend...i dun feed my corals with anything, just light only...so i guess it will be little or no bio load...just my opinion...

yah...i already have 2 X 39W t5...but its actinic blue...should i change it to blue pro??

anyone can lend me a camera?? need to take pics of my corals...my camera sucks...

lessons learnt... 1) i prefer to do skimmers.. .electrical stuffs are better left to the electricians..had to hide behind my sofa before i switch on my 250W mh, so afraid that it will explode... 2) next time i will just get someone else and pay for the work... 3) 1 X 250W is not enough for 3ft tank...even with spider reflectors.... now the questions are... 1) should i go 2 X 250W?? approximately $300 + another day's work... 2) 2 X 250W = chiller...approximately $350 (resun 650) 3) 2 X 250W with only LPS?? should i try SPS?? approximately $kk.... 4) SPS = calcium reactor...approximately $500 to DIY moral of the story... should have just continued with my 2 X 150W.......

my favourite equipment!!! 2 X profantic fans.... time to upgrade to chiller...

my 2 days' work...

my new 250W MH with 14kk hamilton bulbs from deepblue..ballast from my kind neighbour again....spider reflectors from dr evil... mounted on the hood, added a pvc handle to ease my handling...

another clearer shot of dr evil's parabolic reflectors...

the ever lasting eheim pump 1060...

mounted the multi plugs on a piece of wooden plank provided by my reefing kaki HERMIT

squeaky clean floor using magiclean

proper light spread made possible with parabolic reflectors from dr evil...

held together with end caps from bio ocean...

powered by vossloh eballast from dr evil..

Finally got my lazy ###### to change the return pump, the wiring and my new sets of lights... upgraded from 1) 2 X 150W to 1 X 250W hamilton 14kk + 2 X 39W t5 aquaz actinic blue 2) a lifetech stupid noisy pump to eheim 1060 (from my kind neighbour) made the pump sort of run externally to reduce heat 3) bought a new multi plug set to cope with my ever increasing electricity requirements.. here are my t5s!!! mounted on the hood but not fixed dead...for easy maintanence next time..

this guy is mad....

price? pics?? better this way...

clear everything in your tank and restart...with so many mantis caught, u won't now how many are left inside..better be careful...gotta take out all the LRs and dip in freshwater, if u want also can boil them...KILL KILL KILL!!!

dun think u need to do this... swith on the fan 24/7...your temperature won't drop extremely, in fact the best a fan can do is around 26-27...that's all... and dun forget, fan cools the tank very very slowly..
