Ah beng has two or three. Saw them er the weekend Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Pm'd you, Hans. Thanks Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I'm not familiar with coral rx so I'm not sure. Should be ok, better than nothing. There's reef iodine available commercially also. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Try doing an iodine dip, sounds like a potential infection due to contact Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

No problem, I'm also a newbie haha. If you're suspecting toxin in the water you can use activated carbon to absorb some of it. Most poisoning happens when reefers frag leathers by cutting pieces of it off. That's the sure way to bleed toxin into the water. Also read stories of reefers who fragged zoas with open wounds on their hands and ended up almost dying from palytoxin poisoning. Anyway you can just Google for beginner corals, they usually recommend soft corals and some LPS. But once you go for any stony corals, you have to start looking out for calcium and alkalinity levels, which can be tough for a newbie. I'm still learning too, ended up killing some of my LPS already lol Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I need this because my family won't let me buy any more reef equipment hahahaha [emoji23] Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Yup, your tank is still cycling. Maybe give it another month. Maybe you can mix a big batch of water and just do small daily change to keep the ammonia low and keep your fish healthy Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Well, depends on what you like and your lighting type and schedule. Looks like you started with soft corals, which is a good step as they tend to be hardy and have less care requirements. I would say go for more soft corals like gsp, other mushrooms, zoas and maybe finger leathers. But do take note that leather corals and zoas are toxic, so be careful not to injure them or they will release toxins into the water and potentially kill other livestock. That huge toadstool of yours can be quite deadly Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Bro, what corals you planning to keep? I'm using a 2nf hand green element 12 watts led and it seems strong enough to even kill some of my lps coral haha Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Looks cool bro, but I can't seem to play any of the videos Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

No problem bro. Glad to share info among the community.

Thanks bro! For the ios at the back, I put a box full of filter wool and ceramic media in the first stage, then skimmer in the second. Perhaps the eggs got caught in the filter wool, then the babies crawled out? I do notice some baby stars hanging out near the intake area. My return pump is also quite gentle, only about 300 litres/hr. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Spawning... Spraying sperm into the water Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Update. I caught a video of a brittle star spawning, it's one of the stars I got from bro CKS. Now my tank tank is full of baby stars, each the size of a nano Sim card with the arms spread out. They are happily camping on my sandbed. I estimate close to 50 of them Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I have a seperate spinning device hooked up to a pump if you're interested. Can pm me Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I see. Anyway hope you get a test kit soon to test the water. If not sure whether water is poisoned with ammonia, maybe you can try doing small water changes daily of 10% to ensure ammonia stays low. Good luck, hope your remaining fish make it. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

No problem. You might also want to check your water parameters as the others have suggested. If your tank is not fully cycled, it can cause stress to the fish, which can result in diseases attacking the fish as well. You said your remaining fish have been transferred to a big tank? Is it an established marine tank? Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I think what leong is referring to is marine ich. They are impossible to remove, so the recommended way is to remove all fish from the tank and let the parasite starve to death. However. It seems you don't have that option. You may want to see the other alternative methods in the link below, though I personally don't encourage copper treatment.

Finally recovered fully. It's now in a rescue tank, left hand side near the torch corals. Swells up to about the size of a mandarin orange under 40% intensity light. Must "thank" my yellow angel for forcing me to set up a new tank to keep all my brain type lps away from it lol. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I have accidentally tried this out as my skimmer is inside my display tank itself and my rw4 wavemaker is constantly blowing bubbles from it into the tank. Perhaps it's due to the nature of the uneven current from a wavemaker but I don't see much bubbles getting trapped on rock, they are constantly blown around. Also, the rw4 is near the water surface and tends to create bubbles with every surge. So far I notice that my zoas and palys have been opening up very huge. The rest don't seem to behave any different. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hi all. I've been doing some random viewing of my tank in the middle of the night and chanced upon a huge creature hiding in my live rock (huge if you consider that my tank is only 2 ft and this thing is estimated to be 1 ft long). I got a good look the first time, looks like a very long green tentacle half buried in the sand. It quickly slithered away back into the rock when I shone my torchlight on it. I finally managed to catch only a bit of the body exposed. I'm betting it's a Bobbit worm, considering how long it is. Can any expert confirm this? Sorry for the bad pics, it's hard to focus my phone camera when using a torchlight. So far it hasn't touched my snails and there's no other livestock other than corals so I'm still quite ok with it living in my tank. But damn scary to see how long it is, considering my live rock is only about the size of a beer jug. [emoji33] Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Mushrooms in general are ok with low light Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Sounds like it's trying to move somewhere else with lesser flow. On the other hand, you just found a winning formula to propagate new mushrooms Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Looking good! Congrats Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Your gonio may die, but the rest should be fine. My nitrates are also in the 40 range. So far all corals ok except my already half dead gonio. I've been doing weekly changes, using seachem denitrate and also less feeding to bring it down. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
