  1. yes to both Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  2. are they all on the same rock? or individual frags? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  3. sorry bro, already have this one. looking for other varieties [emoji4] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  4. up pls pm or whatsapp 96three607four0 if you have any to let go Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  5. i don’t think they harm corals.. so even without predators they probably won’t be an issue. kinda neat having a micro/mini cleanup crew all over your main display hahaha Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  6. more surprisingly how did it get that big?? hahahaha. guess your fish aren’t interested in these guys Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  7. as someone who’s kept octopus a number of times before i think the most important thing for an octopus tank is definitely having a lid to prevent it from escaping. second is the filtration. system could use a skimmer as they produce quite a lot of waste. for tankmates avoid fish of any kind, they will likely either harass the octopus or get eaten. inverts like starfish should be fine as clean up crew(crustaceans like shrimp & hermits will prolly become food). the rest of the setup should be similar to a typical fowlr. 1) similar to fowlr, personally i’d go with at least 10x tank turnover return flow. having rock structures big enough for it to hide in/amongst is ideal 2) definitely something more subdued, most cephalopods are sensitive to bright light and octopus definitely feel more comfortable coming out when it’s dim 3) mechanical filtration like socks/pads/floss + protein skimmer suitable for your system volume(also oxygenates the water a lot) 4) weighted lid cover, can try redsea’s customizable product for this 5) might wanna run some activated carbon in a reactor or a mesh bag in the beginning to double as water filtration along with the skimmer for any ink the octopus might secrete Hope this helps Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  8. pmed you! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  9. WTB nepthea coral: white or green polyps with green stalk. Also looking for other rare finger/devil’s hand/ kenya tree/colt coral species. Prefer large colonies, not small frags. Will throw in a couple of mangrove shoots that have been growing for a year as thanks too! cheers Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  10. could be skimmer pump too, especially old units Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  11. most important thing i feel is the glass thickness. for a 4ft definitely go for 10mm thickness or more due to the difference in density of sw compared to fw. sump design, it’s easier to take a look at images or diagrams of marine setups to get a better idea of what you want to go for. generally you’d want a separate compartment for a return pump and protein skimmer/other equipment like reactors, and depending on the sump size, perhaps a compartment to serve as a refugium(optional usually to grow macroalgae for nutrient control). for the part that drains from the display into the sump you could still go with filter floss/pads commonly seen in fw setups or try out filter socks Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  12. probably conditioned slowly to brackish water. unethical imo. i know which store you’re referring to bro.. and they are misleading people by saying it’s ‘freshwater’ clownfish when the salinity is not actually freshwater standard. at best it’s brackish. it’s like they’re doing hyposalinity except not as treatment but permanent. and market it as “freshwater” so novice hobbyists will assume it’s alright to dump them in dechlorinated tapwater Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  13. the older hailea models are loud. newer ones are much quieter. definitely agree with getting a compressor if your tank is larger(280 gallons and above), unless you only plan to keep the water temp at 28-29 degrees c Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  14. could be buildup of detritus in sump(especially in areas of low flow and amongst media, if you have any in there) Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  15. electrical leak of the pump. most likely need to replace the pump. has happened to me with 2 different skimmer brands. older units more susceptible(obviously) Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  16. Up still searching for >3inch Japanese Pink Kenya tree(Nepthea) Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  17. Sold. Thanks SRC Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  18. Should mention the type of corals also matters. E.g. you can keep large angels with most sps but most lps and polyps will be food. A lot of misconception about Fish being corallivores when they’re not, in some cases even Tang species begin “munching” on corals when not fed adequately. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  19. Currently reserved. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  20. Pardon me if I came off aggressive with my response bro. I’m just tired of seeing people mistake tuskfish for parrotfish or members of the same family when it’s more likely for something like a Dragon Wrasse to do more damage to a reef than this fish. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  21. [mention=26518]VanquishJ[/mention] Thanks for the info but I have kept it safely with corals in my tank. Not sure where you got this info from(looks like handlinefishing which is a fishing site and does not specialise in Fish habits) but tuskfish do not include coral in their diet, they mainly eat crustaceans and mollusks. I suggest you do more thorough research instead of wrongly singling others out. I did warn that they will move small rocks and frags around. The reason they do this is to search for food in the rockwork. Not to munch on corals. It’s not Reef-safe as far as invertebrates go. It is certainly not a parrotfish and does not need to grind its teeth on corals/rock. Look it up, it’s more closely related to wrasses. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  22. Been with me since Jan this year. Letting go to reduce bioload. Feeds on shrimp and clams. $25. Reef-safe to corals but will move frags and loose rock around. Approx 7.5” Pm or WhatsApp 9six3six074zero if interested Cheers
