Interest sated by a very kind bro. Mods pls close this thd

Hi, looking for small frag of the above. Deal in west. Ok for fast deal today itself if possible, am busy the rest of the week. pls PM if available. Thanks!

Nice setup! Any FTS with lights on? Think I see some SPS frags at the top haha

Wow awesome pics! Bro ur BN is a BOP or panope?

bro your small frags that broke off are growing into colonies!

in the center of the pic! hahaha

I saw something similar in LCK before, the lady told me was zoas. But they do look different don't they? Kinda longish stalks... Before we get too excited, maybe wait for some of the experts here to cfm ID

Mods, sorry i posted in wrong forum by mistake. Please help move thread to SPS forum. Thanks.

Hi guys, what do you all feed your birdnest? Understand they get most of their needs from light, but am thinking of supplementing their diet. Will goniopower work? Think the particle size should be same as that of oyster feast?

aren't these zoas?

yup, agree with bro Admiraltian, try avoid having the skimmer at the last section as the skimmed water tends to have some degree of microbubbles. This may prevail even after the skimmer's beak-in period. Having the skimmer in the earlier sections help with bubble trapping; if need be, can put some filter floss to diffuse the bubbles further. How about from L-R - pump with bioballs, scrubber, skimmer. Btw, interesting baffle design - with the baffle height almost half of the tank height, how to ensure water flows down to the bottom of each section & up again to maximize the entire section height?

That's one impressive looking GSP wall!

Very nice mixed tank bro, looks like you have excellent flow all over! Magnificent sea fan too!

LCK201 this morning. there's abit of bubble algae within the zoas tho

Yes FTS of the combined tank pls! This shld be one interesting tank cos to thrive, thought zoas prefer abit more nutrient rich water while SPS prefer low nutrient water? Camping here to learn how to combine keeping the two in one tank.....

If no space, an alternative is goodbyePO4 to bring down your high PO4 levels. Need to use with skimmer though.

Nice scape! Good mix of corals too.. Btw what type of zoas of those on the left ridge? From the third pic, looks like they have blue centers with maroon rims?

That is one cool looking specimen! Does it glow under actinics?

where you gonna get NSW though? Cannot take from Singapore's shores. The water will have alot of impurities? Reclamation in the north, shipping activity in the south lol

yah! I read about it too..... but some sources say that only some species are really toxic, while some are not? Not sure also, can any pro zoas hobbyists validate this information? On dealing with them, apparently it's best to frag them with gloves, eye protection. & must wash hands well after handling them

Now we know how to make them evac LR.... 2 shots, 2 hits!

I think the IM nano tanks come with a top screen to prevent jumpers from getting out..

bro, where did you get the customized caddy? LFS or online?

agree! I managed to find my syringes at Guardian. Going for like 50cents for the 5ml one. Not all outlets have tho. Got mine at Bugis.

Mantis are smart. I struggled to evict mine from its rock too. Took several frustrating nights for me... Until one day I managed to positively ID which rock it was hiding in, then took it out quickly. Practically snatched the rock outta of the water before it had a chance to run out. Leaving it in air for 20min did nothing for the shrimp, they don't evac the rock like crabs do. I finally managed to drive it out with fresh water that was slightly colder than room temp.. Now it's got a home of its own in a small tank if you still want to try bottle trap, most of the traps I have seen online are transparent bottles. More inconspicuous, maybe doesn't matter but worth a shot IMO if your current one is not working. Read that they are capable of learning too - meaning if your bait is gone from trap, but no shrimp, means it's figured out how to get in & out. Need to change trap design. All the best bro.... Btw pls be safe when handling them, yours look quite big(about 3-5cm?), probably capable of doing some harm if it gets close to your fingers! Your PO4 is high at .25, target is 0 or .03. Considered dosing goodbyePO4? Henry there have.
