Good idea. Maybe you guys can organize a photo comp during the Dec Fish Show and the winner will get a SRC Badge on their Avatar. Let me inform Larry.

Yes, they are harmless and will filter excess nutrients from water. I have several previously in my old set-up. However, if you tank is heavily skimmed and low nutrients, they will just waste away.

Check out this guys build thread - http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/nano-contest/rosebud161616s-15-gallon-custom-built-nano-11687/

There's a guy looking for it recently.

Thanks for sharing, it good to read about your skimmer-less filtration method too - hope you can share more!

Hey guys, just an idea, why don't organize a Club Snap Photography Contest during the December Fish Fair? I remebered during the last IMM Fish Fair, Jervis Mun and his team of aficionados turned up and took some awesome pics!

Looks more like filter feeding oyster rather than another juvenile giant clam.

Nice sea squirts! Hard to keep them in tanks that are heavily skimmed.

Hi bro, Will not affect coral growth unless they start growing out of proportion and covers the corals. As mentioned, they are present due to remnants silicates present in your tank.

Up.

You can do so but if your tap water consist of high silicates you will have long period of battles with Diatom. I suggest use RO/DI or Distilled water from the beginning. If costs is a factor, then I suggest using NSW for cycling and fllow up with RO/DI Salt-mix.

Hi Guys, I am looking for the above, please PM me if you have.

Bro, how much you selling?

Awesome... thanks for sharing.

Sorry bro, I personally think its quite cruel to let you clownfish pair go through the nitrogen cycle. I suggest you house your clownfishes with an established tank and take them back when your tank has fully cycled. If you need any help, let me know.

You can leave it till it reach a equilibrium or siphon it away during your water change, I prefer the latter.

Aquatechnic Tank for $50! Guys mai tu liao, Aquatechnic is known to produce high quality tank-set.

Ya leopard blenny is the infamous sps killer!

Awesome bro!

Those are Diatoms. A common outbreak during cycling. Diatoms come from live sand or live rock, even live rock from stable tanks that have been running for years have diatoms. They are usually limited by nutrients, when nutrients increase suddenly or during cycling of new tanks, the population flourishes and gives the aquarium a nice coating of algae. Most hobbyists assume that diatoms appear because they did something wrong. This is usually not the case, even experienced hobbyists can get a bloom of diatoms when starting a new tank. Diatoms have an outer shell composed of silica. To form this shell, diatoms need to feed on silicates. The 2 main sources that silicates come from: 1) Sand. When we buy sand, there is generally a high concentration of silicates. After all of the silicates are consumed from the sand, the population of diatoms should stabilize. 2) Water. If the water that you use to top off and use for water changes has silicates in it, then the population of diatoms will have an unlimited and bountiful food source and may not stabilize. To get rid of diatoms, you need to get rid of the silicates in your water. Hope that helps.

Hi Keith, Its been a while since we last met. Sorry to hear that you de-comm. Best Wishes and Up for your sale.

Up.

Check parameters, I have had suns that peel-off due to high nitrate.

Hi guys, Just trying my luck to see whether any of you have the above sitting in your store for sale? http://www.jlaquatics.com/images/rounits/twp.jpg
