i am coming for my frag soon hehe. u are right , i didnt make the wrong decision afterall. now stocking up... just finish my NDP training with the student . update another time. bro ian, if u are going to change your rocks, do let me know so that maybe we can go CF together.

cloudy water may attribute to various factor like ionic imbalance and bacteria boom. to solve ionic imbalance, do a parameter check on Ca, Mg and Alkalinity. for bacteria boom and ionic imbalance , changry water will be the best option out. u might wanna include mechanical filtration like ROWAcarbon and Polyfilter to absorb minute particles to polish up your water in your Canister.

it will be great to state your budget so that we can help u more effectively.

yayz ...yipee... hip hip hurray ... how wonderful and how beautiful ... i finish my last exam in NTU !!!!!! more update will i stock up my tank yeah .

buff up your kH to 8 and your pH naturally will fall in place . there are no need for 2 types of buffer or essentially they might be the same thing . i recommend Grotech Carbonat or Seachem reef builder . kH supplement are known as the buffer. buffer is suppose to prevent swing or prevent large flutuation of pH in your system. it will not keep on raising pH. for instance adding carbonate and hydroxide will increase your pH slightly however adding bicarbonate will not raise pH at all.

what is your kH and pH now ?

Buffer prevent pH swing( there will be little or no change to your pH when acid or alkaline substance is added to your tank in your system. ) They are mainly the bicarbonate and carbonate ions in the reef system. In reef set-up , alkalinity which is measure by dkH ( German degree hardness) which is the total amount of hydroxide , bicarbonate and carbonate ions in the system. Natural Sea water had a kH of about 8 and reefers normally keep from 8 -10. Thus adding buffer such as carbonate/bicarbonate or even hydroxide ( in the form of limewater which is calcium hydroxide) will increase your kH. adding hydroxide ions normally will increase your pH too as it is alkaline. in fact although pH is a very important factor in marine, it is largely monitor and affliated to kH, buffering your kH to 8-10 normally will allow your pH to stable at 8.0-8.3. So target your kH parameter first. if you find that it is hard to maintain your KH, again they are affliated to Calcium and Magnesium, so check your Magnesium and Calcium to ensure that the Kh will be the right target.

50/50 All angel are capable of nipping. even if they appear to be reef-safe for prolong period of time , there is still a tendency it will nip. the safest angel to add to a reef tank is probably the argi angel but again IMHO it is still not entirely reef safe .

yup closing the water intake naturally reduce the fow of the seio pump , but at the same time reduce the risk of LS been suck in .

getthe pressurated lah . u have no choice remember ? the wattage will be very high using 2 eheim. anyway i saw DELTEC pump today . wanna consider ? temptation temptation i am fine with my lighting .

Liveaquaria.com has rated Tiger Pistol, Bulleyes Pistol and Japanese Pistol reefsafe. They will not disturb coral and are perfectly to have in a reef environment. However their natural behaviour of digging might be disturbing to some reefer. However exiled_infidel might have mistaken reef safe with fish safe.

u have a very slim rockscape. seem like all your rock 'jerk' out from the back glass panel. did u epoxy them?

DE, just put it right in front of him, he will definately take it temptation ... temptation ...

that doesnt sound quite like me. my stomach look like it is going to explode haha. that day my hair drop into cement after my CEE lab in school haha. but i do feel healthier and stronger. u can feel your body physique. anyway out of point lah. back to reefing. u make me feel like changing my bulb to reeflux 12 k . also considering the phoenix 10 k and back to hamilton 14k . guess we are spoilt for choice in singapore.

i thought u wanna 1000 blue damsels on white sandbed ?? just kidding . simple and nice

ric will go to you . the other corals will go to ken . he will need the whole rock back because it is epoxy down hehe. tekan him . he always make me jog until i am very tired .

wallet is clean too

oh no ! bleached spot . seriously i didnt know about that though. i always thought it is a healthy specimen. anyway it will definately flourish in your tank . the clam has found a more worthy owner now =)

what about my cynarina, prata , brain , elegance ..... haha... Fishtalk i guess somehow u can read my mind. now wanna concentrate on this 2 first. i fail SPS twice ... with more knowledge ( and more light and less flame angel),i decide to go again. the LPS is quite incompatible wiith my 2 tunze nano now though. i even make a spredsheet on all my parameter for every other days . Ric is my passion as i enjoy propagating them. wa kaoz , reservist coming on JULY . siao liaoz. things always happen when reefer is away. somehow it just happen

another one . tml picking up 2 more colony of SPS from a reefer . so excited. FTS will come tomolo after i arrage my wiring.

clearer pic .

guess what . this is the first exact question i ask when i join SRC . the tiger pistol shrimps is reef safe=) just that they like to barrow . some claim that their rockwork topple because of them. perfectly fine to have them in a reef them.

simple. change lor

Hey prec, After pming Vanquish and a few senior reefer like iantoh and you, i decide to go for CF rocks. actually i am just so near to get the rock from GO, but decided to head down to CF to have a look first . hope you like the clam =)

yup ... nice meeting a grandmaster at ken's place . indeed value of money after i walk a few places
