it is just like an anemone...if it is not happy..it moves around..hehe u try turning the rock away from the light..and u will it it facing the light again the next few days..hehe the reason why it is a pest is because it reproduces and replicates much easier than normal nice anemones.... if you have a manageable tank....easy to take it out...but if you have a giant tank like morgan's ....it is no joke handling these anemones....

actually from this photo looks like ricordia even..lol.. but seriously i think it's manjano....when they are bigger...you can even see purple on their bodies..very nice...but...they like walking around

hmm...interesting debate going on... but dun use words like sue or lawsuit lah...quite sensitive...and also dun doubt the intelligence of the other party lah.... i mean..keep the debate to the item and dun start throwing personal attacks lor... cmon...tons of such products out there...if every single item have to debate like this....aiyo....world war... and somemore coming from a person with not many post history...such intense support for a product may bring along the unwanted *tag* that the person is linked in some way to the product.... but if that is not the case, great to see someone fighting hard for some product he believes in....but like i said...keep the arguement objective...hehehe... my 2cents

hehe... yeah man..i am sure they are ###### the juices out of the zoos...aiyo..hehe but their spikey things do look the same..hehehe

morgan bro.. the site says that should wait for at least 1cm specimens before they are considered strong enough...not many of this size around..but if i ever pick them out...i pass to you and you can do the aiptasia meal test just like the url below...hehe will let u know when i have those 1cm ready ones.... http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-01/ac/feature/index.htm

last shot...full front face

thanks bro for it ID

yeah..should be manjano...nice colours but considered a pest

dunno what anthias is this...but quite red...like it alot

i dun think so.... dun tell me have to buy zoos to feed them

http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-01/ac/feature/index.htm

today i inspect every single corner of my tank and found the zoos not opened...guess wat? infested with the berghia nudibranch jia lat...heng those are normal zoos

Nitrate.....

Nitrite test...*phew, wipe perspiration off my head*

bro nutz..yeah.... heng got the new skimmer to handle... just tested the water....results as below...phew..not as disastrous as i thought... ok...here's the aftermath water quality Sera Ammonia....din buy salifert one last time as i thought normally will not test for ammonia after cycling stage, so did not buy a high quality kit

ok bro...roger that..... you are the man....really heng that day when i was at your place you told me about clam spawning in the clam pond.... actually wanted to call you last night..but as you can see from the time, not very convenient lah..dun wanna disturb you... so i just told myself wait for morning when help (you) arrives with the calvary (advice)

bro..my clam tank is plumbed together with my 6ft...both my clam tank and 6ft tank draw water from the same sump..in a way it's like a 8foot system already .... will listen to your advice.....the first thing i remembered was how you told me water quality drops very fast when clam spawn...that's why i did not switch off the skimmer as bro barracuda suggested.... I think my whole system is about just a little around 200 gallons since its a 6x2x2 main tank and a 2x2x1 clam tank.... the aquaC ev240 rated up to 300 gallons and the H&S 150-F2001 rated up to 200odd gallons together i have a skimming addup of 500 gallons...although we must reduce manufacturers claimed capacity..i think can just make it.... but i will test water for all parameters later....will post in here the results.... geeeee...bluddy h#ll.....make me so damn worried my fishes will not be out swimming and will be floating instead...

picture of the same clam this morning...... heng did not pinch

yeah...dunno why woke up at 4am plus..watch a bit of soccer and noticed the tank went to the milkiest stage....orp level was about 270 plus...lowest liao.... now i wake up....tank clearing up fast....lots of milkish semi-solid wasted collected in both skimmers...went to clean them up....and orp noted at 299 now the anthias are out swimming for morning breakfast as usual...no break of routine for them....i will test water parameters later to see if all is well...

now orp at 280plus...dropping...i hooked back my ozoniser already...at first thought against it .....like wat barra said....let the gamettes meet by switching off the skimmer... i dun think i can afford to do that..in fact...i have to use ozone already to increase oxygenation and break down the long protein DNA strands of the gamettes to be picked up easier by the skimmers...

hehe..wah liew... no lah..will sleep soundly lah...tired

yeah man....if water not clear still...i will change some water liao.... jia lat man......dun tell me must go put alarm clock to wake up later
