Hmm, so sorry to hear this

There are many kinds of chillers out there..There's the resun,artica,and iceprobe..hmm and some others which i duno... For ur tank,maybe can get a resun cl650 so the next time u change ur tank u do not have to change the chiller

Boxer shrimps are known to be aggresive,i have kept boxers with CS before and they don't fight.Hmm,not sure abt it but u can try.

Try thisDymax Distributor Hope u can find wad u wanted

WaH,wad kind of LFS is tat,weipro SA2011 suitable for 6ft,its maximum capacity is jus 3ft(correct me if i m wrong).. Anyway,do u use testkits??Test ur water quality and try monthly water changes

Yes,i agree wif u ,tis is a waste of money especially to those on a tight budget like me... Let the bacteria grow naturally by feeding them waste matter...

Fistly,u should get a good skimmer in the first place,dun be like me,get an airstone skimmer then upgrade to macro skimmer...Tis is a waste of $$. Secondly,have u tried tuning ur weipro skimmer,maybe u can add a ball valve to the piping to adjust the water level or be prepared to spend money on a smaller water pump

IMO,its a nono to keep these cute but inverts munching fish wif tubeworms and cocos... Tis is wad i think,maybe other reefers have succeeded wif them..

i think its better for u to place them on their nature spots like pratas and brains on the sandbed

Nice humilis u have there..When i was at PR,tat humilis was rather brown but once it reaches ur tank it changed its colour Anyway,thanks for the mushie frag

Or u can use epoxy to seal the hole of the mantis...hehe

maybe the fish is alredy injuried when u bought it??

If i could remenber correctly,i read frm somewhere tat the noise made by mantises are 3 times in a row consecutively(not very sure on tis)whereas the noise made by pistols are more hollow(not sure if its the rite word to use)... Anyway, having a pistol shrimp in ur tank is a lot better than a mantis.. Good things tat hitchhike on LRs are snails,pods and maybe if u r lucky corals... Bad stuffs are crabs,mantis shrimps aiptasias Ah,there is also the bristleworms,some may consider it to be a nuisance while others think that its veri useful

Wah,picture too big liao.. Anyway,did it fight wif any fish in ur tank??Maybe its an injury frm a fight

Will Caulerpa racemosa do??

Dun ever clean ur rocks wif FW,dun even scrub them,if u scrub,ur live rock will become dead rock.. Jus dun disturb ur rocks and leave the tank as it is.. If its necessary,trap the crabs and remove the dead organisms ASAP... I belive that the snails would not crawl out of the tank unless u have got those pesky Nerites Just my 2 cents

Ok,lets keep his thread clean.... I think he intends to sell off his Hilux MH and trying to get 250w MHs frm DE

Depend on wad shrimps..IMO,they will not kill cleaners like scarlets and coral banded....

I think u shouldn't say low light..Most sps need medium to high lighted areas...And the positioning of them,like porites on the sandbed,acros high up epoxied on rocks and monti caps wedged between rocks

maybe u can get the clip-on MHs produced by Dymax

Hmm,why so many of u encounter Byropsis problems while i dont even have a single strand of it in my tank??

got picture??,veri hard to ID without pic

ya,skimmer removes DOC aka Dissloved Organic Compounds... They break down substances in ur water before they decompose into NO2,NO3,NH3 Cheers,hope u have a good time in tis forum

cannot,2 mini BT would eventually grow in adult tank,ur tank is way too small... Even in my 2.5ft tank i keep only 1 mini BT Yesh,hang-on filter would suffice as long as u r able to keep NH3,NO2,NO3 levels low.. Oh yes, get a skimmer unless u r prepared to make weekly water changes...

fluroscent tubes would suffice
