Good luck in finding your favourite fish. Update us when its in your tank!

Hi Bro, All Genicathus. sp are commonly known as swallowtails thus G. watanabe or G. Bellus etc are known as swallowtails. Are your referring to the Genicanthus melanospilos? Some called it Zebra angel some called it the Japanese Swallowtail angel. See Link They are commonly brought in but I am not sure of its price. If my memory serves me well, I think I saw it at ML and CF recently. Anyway glad to know another brother interested in these beautiful fishes. Btw, AT recently took over Seamonkee's pair of G. watanabe! So we are not alone.

Lots of factors, heard from some seniors that PBT colour is determined by: 1) Location where the fish is caught, some says Sri Lanka's PBT is more intense 2) Feed, most Angels require varied diet in order to get colouration 3) Captive evironment, if the PBT is place in bare tank, it will temporary losses it colour HTH

Its about $80 for one nia. Anyway, if you intersted, you have to drop by Sealife once a while to check on shipment. From my limited knowledge, Sealife is one of the LFS that have good Watanbe. Athough Watanabe is commonly found in the waters off Phillipines, Japan & Taiwan. Most suffers from decompression sickness upon arrival due to improper collection technique. Thus not many LFS are confident that they will get good specimens. Good luck bro!

Aiyah Lin, dun says others lah, you also long time never post what?!

Never witness any bullying to the smaller Centropyge Never witness any direct pecking on any of my corals (SPS & LPS) Never witness any direct pecking on my polychaete worms (Coco & Feather Dusters) Never witness any direct pecking to my clams (T.maxima & T.crocea)

Dun know about your Larmark. But pictures says a thousands words, I have a Female G.bellus and a Male G.watanabe in my 3ft mixed reef with a C.loriculus. Its should be around 5 months liao.

Thanks for sharing Fuel!

Thanks Bro Piglet, If I can get Hermit's name off that pix, I will use it as my wall paper and boast that she my GF. hehehe

I bought mine from Bio Ocean and went back for replacment. They were very obliging. Not sure whether ther are the distributor in Singapore though.

You are right! Most pH pen calibrates with just one solution.

You need to calibrate with both pH 7 and pH 10 solution in order to be accurate.

With regarding to flowrate, generally the more established companies will be prudent with their rating while the smaller companies will overstate their flow rate. Flowrate is critical point of considerations besides price. But flowrate is not easily measured unless you have the proper equipment or when you run 2 pumps in your same set-up and physically see the flow generated. So smaller companies will tend inflate their flowrate to entice potential buyers. I have used a very popular Taiwanese pumps that claims 4700l/hr but when I compare the flow to a German made pump which listed there flowrate at 3000l/hr. When I them as my return, both gave different flow and obviously I wasn't surprise that the german live up to its claims.

Thanks Fuel for the wonderful information.

Finally someone in Advance Aquarist did a honest review on the Deltec MCE600. Enjoy.

I am not senior. But the general rule to is have a minimum return rate of about 7-10 times your tank volume. ie, if your tank is 300l, you can opt of a minimum return of 3000l/hr HTH.

I use Jin Zi Long, recomended by a fenshui fanatic that read dunno Wan Pao or Sin Ming where Jin Zi Long offers advices or something.
