  1. Hi, letting go of the INTENSE & REVOREEF supplements, expiring in 2017. See pics below for detailed dates. INTENSE left 1/3 bottle. Selling for $4. NUTRICORE left 3/4 bottle. Selling for $12. deal at buona vista area. PM if interested
  2. Welcome fellow IM 10G reefer, I have a 10G myself too. nice rock from irwana, from the looks of it, am assuming it's dead rock meaning to say there's no dead or dying stuff in the rock. So what's going to happen when you cycle is you will be seeding the rock with bacteria(your bottle of mb7). This will create & stabilize the beneficial bacteria population which is essential for biofiltration in a reef tank. To cycle, you will need to do it with saltwater. Either NSW or mixed yourself is fine. using prime with tap water is an option, however since you tank is small, can consider distilled water from NTUC. I use LIFE. dosing the big three(alk, Ca, Mg) is not really required if your setup is mainly LPS, as mentioned above WC will be sufficient in replenishing them plus other elements. WC also play another important role in removing organics, excess nutrients, to prevent algae blooms & water quality issues in your tank. if you intend to keep more SPS in your 10G in the future, dosing may become a need if their rate of utilization is faster than WC replenishment. & they don't like parameter swings so dosing is one way to keep the parameters stable. hope this helps & enjoy the journey. You only get to setup a reef tank once, so enjoy the process & don't rush it. The next time you will get another chance to do so is when you upgrade kidding.. cheers!
  3. Received several PMs, frag is reserved currently. Will update here if it becomes available

    Forest fire! The base not green enough tho..
  5. Hi, letting go of a turquoise BN multibranch frag for $12. About 1.5" height The green digi frag circled in red will be FOC with purchase of BN. deal at buona vista area, pls PM if interested
  6. If not having dinos, a black out is not necessary. Reducing the photoperiod will help. Can do some WC to help further reduce nitrates. doesnt look like hair algae or bryposis? Clearer pic would help. So it may be regular green algae which snails can help eat off. Astreas, turbos can help.

    Dunno wat these are but they are nice! Growing between my Xenia
  8. If your Ca is stable at 410, it's not too bad as that's around NSW levels. An alternative for you would be to dose KH alone, can either get commercial solutions or DIY baking soda solution. Dose in regular amounts & intervals thruout 24hrs to maximize the conditions for stable parameters..

    Amazing scape! Creates huge depth in your tank! You happen to have any pics of the empty rock scape? For inspiration for my next upgrade
  10. Copepods, as some of the bros have previously pointed out. Beneficial detritus eaters, fundamental microfauna to any reef system. Harmless to healthy fish or coral
  11. Everytime I see this tank, I shake my head cos the red on the anemone is so vibrant it's ridiculous! The color scheme is fantastic too as that redder than Ang-bao red anemone makes the SPS colonies colors scream out too! First-class tank!
  12. Haha yah I have only myself to blame.. after I got the frag from you, saw that it was doing ok then itchy hand went to buy more then now overrun

    Love the purple & green colors
  14. Haha no need some more thanks, now I'm like relocating & securing those Xenia to small rocks, moving them around as I constantly rearrange my frags
  15. Hey bro i don't use skimmer mah, so the Xenia suck up the nutrients.. Wah yours spread so much. Possible to prune if they taking over the scape?
  16. Hi, letting go frag of turquoise BN, about 2", multi-branch Letting go for $10. Collection at buona vista, pls PM if interested
  17. Hi, letting go for $10 to clear quickly. Pls PM if interested
  18. Wow impressive, what eqmt was used to create this temperature plot?
  19. Wow really nice bommie scape!
