  1. hi guys could someone tell me when the live rock is bought back home must i put it inside a pail first??? for like 2 weeks or dump it into my tank??? can i use my hand to hold it or is the rock dangerous??
  2. hi guys i may sound alittle silly here how do you acutally buy live rocks?? ??? method one : tell the uncle how many kg of rocks you wan and then he go to chop the rock??? ??? method two : tell him the size of your tank and he will give you the amount your tank will need and just pay??? ?????
  3. i saw some fake corals today at bukit timah shopping plaze at fish shop they spray die corals with luminous paint and put them in the tank!!! wouldn't the poor fishes die?????
  4. hi guys i heard of fake corals but never ever seen them before care to give some advise on this? would fishes die after nibbing on the fake corals??? cos i would like to get some cos i dun think i have the ability yet to keep real corals because i am still a beginner. care to also state where to buy them and the cost??
  5. blennies look so sesame street or muppet babies
  6. the blennies bi color or wat? cause i saw a red color blenny fish but i read in books that it will only turn red when its mating season???
  7. thanks for the recommendation i bought the swing arm hydrometer but as for the ph tester can i just buy ph testkit for freshwater one cos i can't find any saltwater one. plus wat is a surface skimmer??
  8. hmmm guys any good test kit to recommend to this newbie like me?? i noe i must get one thing with a thermometer to measure the salt one but i dunno what is tat call??
  9. hmmm guys can i ask something? how much does a reasonalbly working protein skimmer cost. its seems so expensive i seen in all of the websites they cost a few hundred dollars? i decided to get the eheim 2215 to connect into the skimmer but i need to noe how much does the skimmer cost? can someone rougly tell me how much cos i can't get live rocks so i think i could get a filter n skimmer first maybe i have only fishes in the tank,.
  10. oh i see u mean i connect the power head to the skimmer rite so that dirt would be trap in the skimmer while all the good bacteria will filtrate all the biological waste rite. i am sorry if i appear very silly cos i really don't really understand what you guys mean sometimes
  11. huh in that case how can my tank be clean when i dun have a filter?????
  12. erm guys really thanks for all your advice so i get a powerhead should be good enough for my 2 feet tank rite (powerhead is a filter rite ?) plus wat sort of skimmer should i buy is there some cheaper brands out there.
  13. erm guys i kinda of confuse now wat's a powerhead??? so my tank must have live rocks, power head, protein skimmer and canister???
  14. erm i guess i getting the Eheim 2215 i think i should be able to set aside $100 for the cansiter. but now there seems to be a lackage of live rock rite. HL uncle told me if i can't get live rock than i should get some easy to handle corals as most of them are attached to some rocks.
  15. hi guys thanks for the all the advice you had given me once again. I have a question i would only go down to Petmart on next monday to get the canister n skimmer. so can i put my salt, water n sand plus good bacteria in the tank first and let is cycle by my overhead filter first n remove the overhead filter after i get my canister filter (plus i did some reading on Eheim2215 canister filter if i get thaat must i still buy a skimmer???) P.S. Henry (hong leong) ask to put in thin piece of sea food into the tank with all my bacteria solution, saltwater n sand should i do in one week later after the water have cycle ???
