  1. Will do. Thanks for your kind help for so many occasion.
  2. Thank you Roidan, Weileong, Killfire and Ian for answering my desperate calls so early on Saturday morning! For the benefit of the rest of the bros, my return pipe got stuck in the middle of the night and I woke up with the tubby running dry and the floor with puddles of water on Saturday morning! Being a not technical guys, my immediate respond is to try to call the experts. And all of them were very kind to help even when it is so early in the morning. I really appreciate all they contributions that enable me to resolve my problems. Thank you all once again.
  3. eh5 days is no way to judge whether evrything is well... ich will always be present... They are just waiting for chance to find a stress and weak host to climb on.. AT is a definate arget cos its a easily stressed fish and also delicate too
  4. Cuz not, I am into fengshui too. Black is not always bad, black in the color of metal and people who are wood will try to avoid it cuz metal cuts wood. But I have another fengshui theory considering AT, but have not varified with Shifu yet so dun quote me. AT is black with orange spot, which means metal with fire and fire cures metal which means that AT is not really that bad. So Neokn, maybe can check with your master.
  5. No lah, I did not buy, I just reserved for another of my friend. He collected it on Saturday together with me. Will be good if I can meet you in person.
  6. So you saw my choice lah. It is the best in that school right? That why, I did not bother to chose others even this ones fins is torn by the black tang. Wewnt over to Henry's on Saturday to look at my baby, recovering but not eating enough to be considered heathy. Henry suggest to keep it there for 2 more days for him to pump it up. This what I appreciate about his service. He is genuinely sincere in providing whatever help he can to ensure that people that buy from him will get the best help he can offer.
  7. Dear Bros, After two weeks of hypo-salinity for all my fishes in a hospital tank and no fishes in my main tank. My main tank start to look like a jungle! So good an environment that my star snails started to spawn...... No choice lah, risk it and add back the rest of the fishes to help up keep the tank and also clear whatever eggs & sperm released by the snails. As I do not run chiller, I presume the life cycle of the #$@*& ich will be accelerated and thus dun have to wait the minimum 3 weeks. Its been 5 days now and all is well. Not sign of ich. This afternoon went over to Henry's to reserve a pair of angels that one friend always wanted. And guess what I discovered............. AT!!!!!!! Reserved the best looking one liao. But a little hiccup. When Henry remove the AT into the reserved tank, the @#&*%$ black tang attacked it until the fins are all tethered (all within 3 mins!) Told Henry to remove to another tank, kena from the orange shoulder tang. Damn sway man! Henry got no more tank to place my AT so no choice but to use Mirror to distract OST. Keeping fingers & toes crossed until Sunday. Bros, "I will be Back"!!!!!!!
  8. Read in an old issue of FAMA that this kind of sting are very serious. That guy (who is a nurse) thought that he it will heal, it did not even after he tried to self medicate. Luckily, one of the doctor (who does lots of research on marine toxic) in the hospital he is working for spotted it diagnose it correctly and finally the correct cure was found. Better see a doctor and tell him about it and if it doesn't heal, go to a specialist.
  9. Correction: Last night went back to double check A. Calfo's book, it is written that tidal corals species such as Xenia, Zoanthids and some SPS are suitable for dry shipping not Euphylia species. Sorry for the mistakes.
  10. I smell another "Louhan Craze" coming......... Anyway, I have tried converting mollies into Marine Environment with one day. But gave the mollies away (after 1 months) after seeing it with the rest of the marine fishes in the tank, it gives me a very unnatural feel. I re-convert them into fresh water in another day and my auntie is still having them. From what I know any fish that is from murky water can be converted, just that it is unnatural. Cuz in the nature they will not be able to compete with they salt water cousins when they are in the open sea.
  11. According to A. Calfo, some corals are better ship wet rather than in water. especially euphylia species which are known to emit tons of brown jelly when stressed and finally dying due to bacteria infections.
  12. I tried having a pair as advised by some literature. In the end still cannot make it. To me, they are even ahrder to survive than the normal doctor fish aka cleaner wrasse! Will definitely aviod them!
  13. If you can bait him then why kill him? Just post it in the Sell Off Forum, sure got brothers wanted to buy wan. But must warn them first lah. So if they are have SPS tank without any fish, they may consider.
  14. I feel that my Zoanthids are the ones that show significant difference. I have two rock of Zoanthids for 1yr liao and after I dose they started to show vibrant colours. So for me, I will continue to dose but will noy loose a sweat over it. ;-)
  15. And this..... I believe it was previosly sold in Aquastar in Downtown East and also Yishun beside Watercircle. Any bro have seen it, please let us know. Thanks alot.
  16. He is looking for something like this......
  17. Never tried Cupri-sorb. I know Poly-Filter claims to be able to effectively remove copper. But since copper is so deadly, I don't dare bet on it.
  18. You can use copper provided you do not intend to add any invertebrates. Cuz copper traces can remain in LRs and sand for a very long period and thus most reefers will not use copper treated tanks to house invertebrates. For me, I will never use copper, I will be using Hypo-Salinity for my Ich problem coming Saturday.
  19. Thanks bro, for the reminder. I plan to use baking soda as buffer.
  20. Most LFS will carry them. Got Ang Mo brand, got China brand, of course China brand cheaper but they say hatch rate very low.
  21. Lighting plays an important part as well. If you have just 6500k or 10000k light you will not be able to see the flourescent colours that some LS emit. Thus most reefers will supplement with actinics to bring out the colours.
  22. Cannot lah. Cuz very high ammonia and nitrites due to the eggs shells starting to bio degrade. What I do is to whenever, I am mixing water for my main display, I will mix extra and store them in 1.25l bottle to be use for the hatchery. So can you managed to find the hatchery?
  23. Aiyah see the numbers of empty bottles lying around ML and you will know it is a product that Henry believes and uses for his display. I used it too, not much effects on stony. But Zoanthids seems to like it, color up and open bigger!
  24. A bare bottom tank with filter and skimmer and some cut PVC pipping for the fish/s to feel secure.
