  1. i feed them twice a week i think the mouths are closed lor
  2. actually, i don't get it. returning to main tank as opposed to??? uh huh...i return to main tank
  3. no the shrinking is not reltated to lightings...although they do shrink alitle when lights are off but the shriking i'm talking about is something like an anemone dried up then they bloat up again...but its so frequent...probably twice a day perhaps more because i don't sit and watch them the whole dae temperature is 26 and S.G is normal green band
  4. hi guys, just an update, i adjusted the flow to about 800-900L/hr and the temperature set to 25 degrees and the chiller appears to work fine...its own themostat reads a stable temperature of 26 for at least an hour before hitting 27 and turning on again
  5. ok....for both cleaners...after a while of feeding by u...they stop eating parasites because they're alwaes well fed and never hungry. regarding cleaner wrasse....only a few ever do well in captivity cause many don't accept substitute foods....and besides....naturally, cleaners haf short life spans but they make up for it through quick and massive reproduction. IMO, don't keep a cleaner wrasse
  6. yeah i suspect its flow rate too...will do fine tuning soon
  7. as the title says, what can be wrong?....my purple tip and lime BTA both shrink quite frequently. i know shrinking is ok but its happening too often...wat's wrong?
  8. actually, just leafve tap water overnight b4 adding salt wil lget rid of the cholrine or boil the water
  9. ya...the temp reading keeps fluctuating
  10. my cl650 is quiet like a baby. and mine's the new batch think u're unlucky.?
  11. hey press the set button for 10sec and set CA to -1. it'll solve the problem of different readings. aniwae...1 degrees difference in instrum,ents is actually very very acceptabl;e
  12. yeah ok thanks u make a hell lot of sense
  13. ok pls pm me how it turns out....then maybe i can solve mine too
  14. ok my tank dimensions r 4 by 1.5 by 1.5 ft ani recommendations?
  15. my flow's too little? ok...i use a powerhead independent of the filter system in the aquarium to circulate water around. how much would be enough?
  16. oh ya...u're rite but hor.........the shit settles down....the filters and skimmer don't suck them how?
  17. 2x cooler is safer in a way incase one fails, the other one still can struggle to cool the tank. and, like u said....if both cool faster, it does save elec but 2 coolers means larger resistance for your pump to overcome in terms of circulation
  18. why not use aquapharm's cure ich....it's a none copper based medication
  19. the recommended flow rate is inclusive or exclusive of the amt of water in the sump? and also, hm...i heard there's alot of trouble with trusting the flowrate as indicated on the box. people alwaes suspect the flowrate is in fact lower than that quoted on the box...how do i handle this?
  20. hey! tell me this....do u haf another thermometer?....if so use it to measure the temperature and compare it to the temperature displayed on the chiller do inform me of your result
  21. hardness is contributed by many ions but usually, to adjust we increase the carbonate amount. u can find products that increase carbonate amt
  22. hi guys, i'm thinking of geting a sump tank but i don't know what powerhead to use to pump the water back. i'm afriad the pump is either too powerful or too weak. how can i know i use the right one?
  23. hey my cl650 also has the same problem ons and cuts very frequently but i reckon its my flow rate that is the problem because the instructions says best to use a flowrate of 900-2400L/hr. i pump the water using my eheim canister filter rated at 950L/hour but with algal growth in the tubes and substrate in the filter...i think the flowrate is real low and i think that's y the chiller acts that way.
  24. hi guys...my fishes shit a hell lot and you can see strands of poop on the sand bed. is there any thing that can clear it out by eating the poop?
