Morpheous

That's a silencer. Remove the cap and u will find that air enters via the tube into the skimmer. U can choose to put the cap on or off, depending on your preference. It does not affects the performance of the skimmer.

What is the temperature of the tubes u are using? 6500K or 10000K or 20000K ? How long have they been in use? Tubes tends to have spectrum shift after a period of use.

It looks like a venturi skimmer to me. 1) Remove the wooden air stone and tubing to the left of the skimmer. 2) Connect the tubing to the right piping where u stated air. The other end of the tube has to be exposed to the air. 3) Connect a pump to the input pipe that u have indicate water. Maybe u could state your brand of the skimmer so that we may be able to help identify the type of skimmer u have on hand.

Fallow your main for a month These parasites are something like ick, will die off without a host. No medication needed.

Still have jumbo blood shrimp at ah beng.

This is quite an interesting article of how the author stocked up his fishes with hyposalinity, but of course it applies only to FOWLR. The main aim is to eliminate primary infestation like Ick which most/all of us encounters during stocking up. I personally experienced primary when also leads to secondary infestation. That made me restart, cured the existing fishes and in addition stocked 2 angelfish and 1 powder blue tang without any problem. In addition I have UV and added medication for 5 days as a preventive measure (Skimmer and UV turn off during the night when medication is added). IMO, without the parasite, the tank should be Ick free vs the argumentation that Ick is always present. But I do agree that food is one good source of beefing up the fish's health and immunity. However, against the article, i personally don't think that long term hypo is advisable. But I always encourage QT whenever possible. Just my 2 cents... http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_4/V4I...h/Angelfish.htm

Yellow bellied Regal angel spotted at Ah Beng. Ard 3+" ~ 4". Still have 4pcs after one ended up with me Ard 8pcs of new powder blue tangs. As of 6.45pm

Any regal angels?

Any updates from SL or RB?

Any idea what time will the shipment be on Fri?

I like that video.... Just like street fighters! Color looks like coral banded shrimp. The one in my old tank is brown, camouflage with the life rocks

Wow... watch ur nutrient levels!

Bro Lemon, Is the Juv regal angel feeding and isit yellow belly? Can pm me the price if u know it. Thks..

I like ur nick and the above statement of course Chill out and lets make this hobby an enjoyable one...

the sounds was so misleading... Happen when i started this hobby... I even thought my old tank is cracking apart slowly...

I had once encountered previously. It even attack my chopstick with its claw. It was damn irritating till i threw away the rock it resides.

Hard to come by... Saw one at ah beng last week that was in bad condition and still have the juv eye marking, but no longer avail when i went yesterday. There still have a few yellow belly regal at 4-5" though. U can ask them to demonstrate if they are feeding.

Anyone been to aquamarine JK recently?

Any small powder blues spotted at eastern or central areas?

I'll definitely go... I enjoyed the previous one, especially the aqua-scaping competition. Wonder if any of our ocean architects here will be joining

Petmart and reborn carry this.

I still saw some at ah beng yesterday.

Ah beng also have blue face, close to adult coloration, nice small size. I saw a 3" regal angel as well, but still in the blue tub. As of 7 Mar,11am.

The lighting may not be sufficient for light-hungry corals if they are at the sand bed, considering ur tank with 2.5 feet height. Something u might want to look into?

Beauty is the eye of the beholder Prata prefers low current flow and are greedy eaters... Put a small piece of market prawn and see them swallow!
