  1. lol might need deeper pockets next year. first madpetz now polyart.
  2. i also took cab everytime, too bad the buy quickly thing doesnt work for me. lolz.
  3. I think just be careful when dosing vodka while using biopellet. To much cabon means too much bacteria and it will usually lead to a lot of white filming in your tank. Good Luck.
  4. I know deaquatics have some par lights but im not sure if can customize lights. Better check with razali aka dr.evil.
  5. if anyone looking for a good size yellow tang, ah beng got 3 more medium size left yesterday.i just bought 2 and they looked healthy and been eating my clip seaweed this morning.
  6. nice bro. wondering where you hide the ballast?
  7. Thats my plan actually. I saw one diy on some forum it looks a bit messy but it can be refine i think. Planning to use Blue+ and Purple+ for more coral pop. Also another dilemma i have is which fixture to use 2x160w or 1x300w for my 5x2.5x2.5ft DT. I read somewhere that you can actually join 2x160w into 1 fixture. lolz.
  8. im still having trouble picking between maxspect and ati fixture til now. been reading a lot of forums and review but im reading good reviews with led + t5 suppliment. led for rippling effect and 2-4bulb of t5 for colloration and coral pop.
  9. sure bro. special thanks to our bros here. i advice you read the thread all throughout. good luck.
  10. yep its purple tip and according to uncle its from aus saw it as well but its not s size the length is the size of my hand open wide.
  11. Thanks bro. Yeah im still missing a lot of rocks. I actually want to place a separate tower island on the left side for LPS.
  12. i think marinelife still have 1 left. better call henry to check.
  13. at first i used half teaspoon and diluted it on 100ml water. i poured it to my tank and didnt detect any. then i diluted 5 teaspoon more on 500ml water and poured all of it. ( yeah i know im so bad and lazy) and thats where it shoots up way high.
  14. thanks for the info bro. i guess i should maintain at least 5-10ppm of nitrate.
  15. to continue. 10-18-2014 i started my tank cycling. im still waiting for stocks of sand to come in but i decided to start the cycle early so i can put some livestock as early as i can. everything is dead on my tank as rock is bleached (thanks tofu for advise) and sand is washed 5-6 times. ive decided to go fishlesz and shrimpless cycle using ammonia powder. the product that i used is the same as that. i purchased it at clementi bakery shop. i screwed up the measurement and added to much of ammonia in my tank thath the color is wayyyyyed off the chart, its like realy realy dark green. thaths when i used stability on the first week and prodibio the next week follow up with 20% water change. after 2 weeks ammonia drops 0, nitrite is low and nitrate is 20ppm+. i used prime then decided to add a couple of livestock to maintain the source of ammonia to prevent bacteria die off. 11-01-2014 up until now i still have them except for 1 chromis who recently jump out of iso box.
  16. i started my tank with evrything is dead, like bleach rock, and washed sand from local fps. took me 2 weeks before i add livestock and up until now they are still alive. i did the fishless and shrimpless cycle as i use ammonia powder+seachem stability, and a couple of vials of prodibio coz i srewed up my measurement of ammonia. hope it helps.
  17. I bought a xenia yesterday and after 12hrs+ its still not opening. just want to know how long does it usually take for xenia to acclimate? i really like this one to survive coz the last one i bought didnt do well. water parameters are good except a bit of nitrate and im fixing it now by a diy scrubber.
  18. went to ah beng yesterday and they said they got new fish shipment today.
  19. try red bamboo i have a blonde naso who didnt eat anything but after i introduce red bamboo he eats everything now even pellet. if still wont work try dried seaweed again but this time deep it in garlic solution.
  20. thanks bros. more pics. 10-13-2014 adding sand and water diy purifier the painfully slow process of adding water. water from purifier is collected to a big black pail for checking then pump to the main tank. after several hours.
  21. 10-12-2014 working on the rock scape and after a couple of hours and 250grams of epoputty.
  22. Bought a new house more than a year ago and it took me that long to realize i have a good spot for reef tank right in front of me. I was originally looking at buying a used 4feet tank but didnt find any that suites my budget and likes in terms of design (specially the overflow design). Finally last month I've found a 5ft tank thats close to what im looking for and its been delivered to my place by sgbros. finish setting up. will add more pics...
  23. with 2 ft tank anything that died will cause ammonia spike. on my 5 ft DT i lost 1 maroon clownfish (got chase till death i only managed to rescued 1) , 2 turbo and didnt show any spike on my ammonia.
  24. thanks. im just worried about the color coz its too dark. the last time i saw a skimmed like this is when i scrub my tank with diatom.
