  1. what i read from internet webpages is that copepods feed on plankton that's y sometimes some of the members here recommend dosing of coral food to maintain copepods population as to whether they eat other types of foods, i'm not sure
  2. actually, if the amt u added into the tank isn't much then dun worry about the chloroamines
  3. wow piglet...u left out a very major detail
  4. mel y is sps tissue flying around so damaging?
  5. oh dear does that mean if i upgrade to hns and skim my water clean the jewel wun survive?
  6. hey mel a friend of mine had an sps once to try try and when the sps died, some of his lps bleached and afew quite badly he blames it on the sps releasing toxins i can't vouch for the truth in that but it sth worth your attention
  7. U SURE $1!! i sure buy from u and sell to another reefer...profit margin i think can be 10000%
  8. wow...so big? hm...perhaps i'll consider a denitrator any advice on where to get and price to expect? diy one also can...cheaper is better for me
  9. cheese...u r very right on the part about having to tune the flowrate to an optimum level for chiller to not kick in so often actually, for me i guess i'm not concerned with chiller kick in often elec bill go up rather, i'm afraid kick in so often will damage the parts!...although i'm no expert on chiller technology but then its jus worrying to see chiller kick in so often!! btw, jus to share some optimum flowrates i found with this chiller at 25degrees, i found that it doesn't kick in often with a flowrate of 2500L/hr at 27, flowrate is 2000L/hr this is my experience and doesn't necessary reflect a absolute truth
  10. mine is set at 27 and system is maintained at 27 ca depends on how far off the chiller temp reading is from yr actual tank temperature using another thermometer there really isn't a fixed value to set it for me its ca -1
  11. er...u sae dsb can be in centre compartment then u sae DSB not going to be effective that's kinda like saying dun waste time with dsb? maybe time to upgrade my sump
  12. mel, roughly how much sealife selling powder blue and brown? if not convenient can pm me

  16. muar chee came over and said its not mantis borinz came over sae it is but since muar chee kept mantis before, i'll leave them alone believing wat muar chee said case close
  17. Qmor, jewel is after all a light dependent lps its possible yr lights too low causing it to become thinner how powerful r yr lights? wonder:goniopora r tough corals but jewel is one of the easier of the goniopora family all it needs is moderate lights and current and occasional feeding infact, its been called hardy at www.livemarine.com...here's the link http://www.livemarine.com/1163954.html i do believe many aquarists have this at home and they r doing fine so if u haf light and current go ahead no worries
  18. 5 footer no3 caused by anthias? i tink u need 10anthias to die then can shoot so high man!
  19. absolutely with low Mg, u'll find it difficult to maintain Ca and Kh levels in yr tank which is what is happening to mine my kh is dropping by 3dkh a week
  20. eric...with this link http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...pic=24343&st=15 looking at photos of my sump, do you think the centre compartment is suitable for DSB based on its size and how the water flows through it? thanks
  21. thanks ancelot but my question is more of what is the good in supplying yr tank with the blue light produced by actinic supplements be it t5 or fl. sorry to have confused u
