This will be great for a pico or nano tank.. Just decommed my pico tank and transferred all livestock over to bigger tank.. But this little fellow too small for my bigger tank.. Anyone keeping pico or smaller nano tanks wants to keep this fellow?

buy some live food for them.. maybe try live brine shrimp first?

is these brittle stars..?
Jakuson replied to wearenotmonkey's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Yeah.. It looks like brittle star at the top to me too.. bristleworms will look a bit fatter and will be alone most probably.. the below is also a star but not brittle star.. not sure what name is it for the below one.. -

How to remove snail from glass or live rocks without damaging it?

ok... thanks all! I have successfully done it with a little force and very slowly making them lose grip.. -
How to remove snail from glass or live rocks without damaging it?
Jakuson replied to Jakuson's topic in General Reefkeeping_
I tried to tap on them... although they redraw, their lower part still sticks, only the eyes and mouth part move in.. Maybe I will try to irritate it even more and try to apply some little force to make it come loose.. hope I don't damage it and kill it.. -
Hi all, I am wondering how we can safely remove snails from the glass or live rocks without damaging it? I tried to remove them but they are like not letting go, and I do not dare to force pull it as I am afraid I might damage it and kill it.. Anyone have any idea how to safely make them go into their shell and make it easy to lift them up? The snail I am referring to is this type of snail(refer to link below).. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=497+526+1755&pcatid=1755 The reason I want to move them is I am afraid one day if I happen to run out of algae for them to eat in my main display tank, I will move them to the sump as there are lots of algae in there for them to feed on..

Use light temperature between 5000K to 6500K... it would be good.. I am using 6400k and achieved good results from my personal experience.. From my own personal experience with 12000K light, the chaeto totally break apart into pieces and starts to turn whitish in some parts.. I quickly changed to a 6400K 13W which I happen to find it lying in my storeroom and it started to grow and flourish.. here is a link to help you decide which is better.. http://www.melevsreef.com/fuge_bulb.html

Yes, they are bad pest.. They might stick on to the fishes and suck out their blood and eventually cause their demise.. That's what I have once read before.. Maybe other bros can confirm this?

A bit hard to see.. but it does looks like isopods to me..

Just to share a new recent discovery of rare dragonets during 2012.. Really like it's colouration.. Wondering if it has already reached our local LFS.. If anyone have seen it in LFS, please let me know! For those interested, here is an article on this really beautiful fish--> http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog/the-western-australian-mandarin-dragonet

Sure... Will update if it is available..

Get from fellow reefers.. There are many people kind enough to give it to you..

WTS: 2ft tanks with stand and FOC many items
Jakuson replied to Jakuson's topic in Sell off/Pasar Malam Shop
Sold and collected. Thank you. -
I think 12000k does not work well with chaeto... I had previously use 12000k T5HO 24W tubes to grow it, and it will turn white and soft.. after I change to 6400K 13WPL only, the growth skyrocket and they never become white again... So I believe the colour temperature is the important factor here.. I only have very low flow going through.. But since my one is not tumbling, I will every 3 or 4 days turn it the other side to let it have light all around..

Sorry about posting it 2 times, I tried to edit and type quite long and then it doesn't allow me to save the changes so I post again with a little bit more information..

I would like to draw the attention of bros out there to this article that I found on reefsanctuary.com, it is regarding the cycling process and it will give a lot of people why even though their tanks are so called matured still have got lots of green hair algae or the such. The cycling process is a very important milestone to the future of your reef tank. Read just the first post and I believe most of you will understand what I am talking about. For those not lazy to read, can read further, he have got lots of valuable information to share. He talks about how you can balance the algae vs anaerobic bacteria which is why although your nitrate and phosphate is zero, you still get lots of those green hair algae.. To summarize for those who happen to not get it.. Bascially, the green algae that is growing is the reason why you get 0 nitrate and probably 0 phosphate. And when that happens it is competing with the anaerobic bacteria for the source of nitrate. It order to let more anaerobic bacteria grow, you will have to prevent the green algae from growing. For you to do that, you will need to reduce light or completely block of the light in your main tank, so that the anaerobic bacteria can get most of the nitrate and reproduce faster. With the increase number of anaerobic bacteria, most of the nitrate will be gotten from them and leaving those green algae have very little nitrate to grow. If combined with clean up crews that eats up the algae, that will slow the spreading of algae even further which will definitely allow a lot of time for the anaerobic to get to the nitrate and convert it into nitrogen gas for you. Personally I think having a DSB is a must, because it will have much more anaerobic areas for the anaerobic bacteria to grow which will help you even more on the green algae problem. Hope this article helps you in your algae problems.
