U can buy live phytoplankton from LFS- but the fertilizers u need , either u concoct your own from organic fertilizers from florist/nursery, or you can get from REBORN- they import from Florida-farm.Not difficult to start up a batch from these, but need to maintain water quality-well (in a nutshell- u dont have to cough up a lot of money and buy from the internet- just work around with what is available here-check out some of the website I linked earlier ----you'll see what I mean

Good luck...i personally found them to be difficult to keep. But then I dont have a good refugium as yet.Am in the process of connecting my spare 3 feet tank,as a refugium to be able to feed this guys properly.They seem very picky with food

get the plastic coffee filter from cold storage, brown rim, white filter, good enough, It will help of u use a sewing machine to stitch another time through, I was using this. go my rotifers culture from LFS ......feed them with yeast, and a little plankton. You can usually find the filters at the baking,section in the supermarket/

1) target feeder with "turkey baster" syringe (think ard $20) from cold storage-look under baking section , may cost more, but u will like the suction power this baby provides.The rigid hose is from garden/nursery e.g Far east flora at thomson. Brand is POPE, original use for watering system,various sizes and yes they sell the black plastic tubings cheaper than the LFS...if you are planning a trip to australia, cheaper to get there, from stores like Target, K-mart (garden section) 2) MY OWN, sea weed feeding device, clips 2 seaweed for the tangs to nibble on.the clips are the one's u can get from ikea for resealing potato chips bags...I use fish lines to secure in place on a plastic garden/floral arrangment rod.(from -katong florist.)

I have 2 purple tang, 1 yellow ,1 adult hippo blue, 6 juvenile, 1 sohal, they seem to like sera marin granules.....(( think best advice I can give , is observe the fish and its appetite 1st, if you can....)

Had a macro needlewheel -in cabinet skimmer...not working out fine, so I tore it out, replaced it with a kick -###### skimmer from MarineLife-Henry...works like a charm now....the foam formed is brilliant!

hi. was surfing came across this article...... http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/cav1i1/wormf.../wormfishes.htm

Found this web site,while researching on snails, found it to be very informativem thought of sharing it here, http://www.seaslugforum.net/general.cfm#ma...ds_and_bacteria

To add , thats my " experimental tank" as I am really trying to convert this 3 feet tank as a refugium, sea-horses production factory.....hopefull!!! My main tank is 7 feet...., but thats another story...

Hi, spent more time, researching here 1st!!! loads of free advice, products available, and links to great displays of superb tanks!! some our own country men...PM me if you like? I have a 3 feet tank in my living room, running on 2 12 volts pc fan.....a cannister filter, corals chips sand bed, live rocks of course.... 2 ,3 feet florescent 10k, and actinic combination, supplemented by a 65000k T-5 3 feet as well as I am growing caulerpa algae...Live stocks 2 tassle fish 1koran angel 9 purple queen anthias, 5 chromis 1 urchin 9black 1 anemone worm purple 2 elegance corals.. trick is to feeding .....I use a cocktail of cyclop-eeze, planktons and dried sera MARIN GRANULES....

dude, where you from? no other details in your profiles? anyway ,if you are a tourist, head for sentosa undersea world!!otherwise if you have 4 to 5 hours. Pasir Ris (Iwarna included is the best bet) others scattered.

dude!!! CAR decal.....nor SAR's Decal....you gave me a shock dude!!!!

guys! where can I get some live mysis?? Would like to give it a go.Will post my findings.So far had culture phytoplankton, rotifers...(gonna try brine shrimp, but prefer on researching on mysis) all this in preparation of rearing seahorses!!tempted to get some...but fear mortality rate!! had wasted purple queens anthias ...now have 9 all nice and healthy on diet of phytoplanktons and cyclop-eeze.

I have a 3 footer siting in my living room. (Juwel aquarium-RIO series) so comes wiith 2 3 foot flourescent lights. (keep 1 white 10k/ 1 actinic ) I have Live rocks, corals chips sand bed. ( operates with 2x 12volts PC cooling fan , with timer on when lights comes on. Live stocks:-1 anemone worm, 1 anemone, 9 purple queen anthias, 1 koran angel, 2 turbo snails, 5 chromis. 2 cleaner shrimps. look out when you change water, as perimeters tend to go crazy. in th day temp is aroung 27 degree(with fans on) , nite 25 degree

I am game, but hear must register to go in??? guided tour? Alamak! I was at Labrador Park last week end....unfortunately high tide. So did not see much. Saw alot of floating algae though.And guys fishing on the jetty.Water was clear and clean......although can see the oil refineries and ships passing by.

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/scateg.cfm?pCatId=1636 if you will like this site for the write up of the fishes......as well. It is good to read up 1st before experimenting with them.Also make sure your LFS fishes are healthy / treated before introducing into your tank.( I always wanted a seprate quarantine tank) with copper based medication....as 1st line of defence. as had experienced a bad ICH problem...wipe out my achilles tang, hippo tang collection.!!! my purple ones survived.

will be pretty hard to get mated pairs, as shipment comes in rojak!!!......Fire goby is very much easier to keep than the purple ones!! cheaper too.some info here; http://www.marinedepotlive.com/fish-gobies.html

try Sentosa Marine: think Brand is aqua medic 62745612

need help! I have a 3 feet tank...fitted 1 10k 3 feet flourescent and 1 3 ft actinic blue....14 hours....my grapes and other algae just kept turning yellow- grapes algae disintegrated in 1 week! any advise please??

this is probably the best from 50 attempt to take my sohal tang..guy is just too quick!!!

saw quite a few at Reborn-Lavendar..better hurray.Got mine from Sentosa-Marine.

I have 4 elegance- I find them very easy, 4 bubbles also easy.....plate corals I lost all 4(think the golden head gobbie kept covering them with sand spits!), lost 1 brain( too near MHL) lost 2 hammer, 2 torch due to phosphates build up....my vote for bubbles...so far so good.

Some more info's....linked , so checked it out. I had a hard time initially , some died! but now with the proper food, they are doing handsomely. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...&threadid=10522 http://www.netpets.com/fish/reference/reefref/anthias.html
