some time, they are just picking on the algae on your sun ? i have 3 sally ligh foot in my tank and they are all well behalf and hard working fellow.. But like what thomas said, if they run out of food who know what they will do ?

Wow.. nice D.I.Y , can make one for my top up device or not ?? heehee

Some of the reef fishes is best viewed at the side of the tank instead on the top unlike Koi fish.. Unless you are thinking of keeping shark ?

They will eat sea urchin also.. Anything with legs almost

Yes, planing for Collar-T now. checking the prices for both cotton and quick dry material which is good for local weather i think ? At least i can still wear it to work everyday..

This is the contribution from one of the members.. Very cute though and appreciated very much his work. :eyebrow: Keep it coming..

Already got some quote from the Shirt maker , however i am still trying to find a new SRC logo for the T-shirt and it is a big headace for me since i am not good in this.. Wondering if anyone here want to vounter for the logo design ? lol

That's the thing, it didnt indicate on the packaging if it is also suitable for marine or not.. that why

i saw this products in polyart and Auntie shop in C328. It is retailing at 20++ i think .. Yes, it would be good for FOWLR setup as well.

Came across this new products during last shopping trip in one of the LFS and feel that this would be an idea products for those keeping nano tank which do not have the luxury space of running a FR to reduce p04 or N03 ect.. Since this products claim to remove these and reducing the frequency of water changes. wondering if anyone try this on their marine tank yet ?? products detail can be found here ; http://www.tetra-fish.com/sites/tetrafish/...1276&cid=74

You can also run the tape water through a RO/DI filter to remove the contamination in the tape water . This will help produce purest water without anything harmful been added to your tank.

it maybe due to the low KH,mg and ca level in your water.. You can rise these up after you have finish cycling your tank by dosing. Coraline algae will start to grow back once your water stabilize with these level and lighting.

What a sad news to all.. He is once my idol too during my school days.

IMO chiller and lighting is the two main cause for high electrical consumption.. Switching to lower Wattage lighting which does not generate too much heat, and switching to a higher effective chiller like a direct titanium chiller with correct horse power will also help chill the water faster... The faster the chiller chills the water, and the faster it cut off, the lesser the energy drawn as well. Titanium chiller have their probe direct contact with the water it chill comparing to other conventional chiller thus it will helps chilled the water much faster.

Maybe the thread below should help you to calculate the monthly electrical consumption ; http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80504

Yes.. that's right, looking into the power consumption of the equipment is the key factor when i look for equipment especially in a Hot topical country like in Singapore. It is better to do some study before setting up, if not you will find yourself facing a high monthly electrical bills which may cause you to give up the hobby especially when electrical fees started to go way high ! Having a good ,reputable and energy effective equipment is thus very important. As always, Cheap is not always Good, and Good is not alays Cheap especially in having a energy effective equipment..

Wondering how much energy your aquarium is consuming each month ? This is the Fomula to calculate ; For eg. Product A has Power Consumption of 10 Watts Product A Power Consumption : 10 Watts/1000 = 0.01kWh 0.01kWh X No. of hours used per day X No. of days used in a month = (Value)kWh Amount to be paid per month = (Value)kWh X Tariff rate Current New tariff rate from SP Services with effective from 01st July is 19.28 cents/KWh

I think you are on the right track, Patient is the key to success in marine setup.. You can use oyster shell , puka shell or even coral chip to stabilize the PH .. Happy Reefing !

We should always remember that keeping a marine aquarium is not the same as keeping a freshwater tank, where we just pour in some tape water let it run for a hour or two with air pump and happily put in the fish we bought from the shop. You should try to change 10% - 20% of the water as often as you can if you are not runing on skimmer on your small tank , and if it is such a small tank keep the tank with as little Bio-load as possible. The 3ft tank with cabinet and sump should be the way to go for your long term headace free fish keeping..

Wow.. this is such a good info, i will pin this up

another good alternative will be ordering those big bottle of distill mineral water from those water company like ocean ect.. they will loan you the drinking machine for free if you order a few bottle each time, and delivered to your doorstep. No need to carry the water back..so shack

i Mix NSW with Salt mix to get the best of both ..

We are making new offical SRC T-shirt to mark the club moving into it's 7th year in Singapore Reefing History.. Stay tune here for more information.

I help you move to the correct section. You should use Grade 0 or Grade 1 sand for your DSB.. You need not buy Live sand unless your pocket is deep enough , since your sand will become "live" after having it in your tank for a few month. Of course, if you want to speed up the process, you can get sand from fellow reefer whom is giving away.

How about this goby ? Helfrichi's firefish gody
