  1. 9. Aquasentry1 PH and temperature monitor (with calibration fluid) - $60 Hi bro, still available? Pics please. thanks
  2. OIC. I always tot CR keeps it at desired 8.3 24/7. Thanks bro.
  3. The PH level will drop once the lights are off at nite. Want to learn from expert bros out there how do you guys maintain the PH level at nite assuming no CR is used. Do u keep a smaller light switched on above the sump set to alternate with the main tank lights? Or do u dose small amt of KH buffer at nite? All advise are welcome. Thanks in advance.
  4. Looking for used 4 or 5ft T5 HO DE Lightings retrofit lightset. Any bros selling?
  5. hi Janet, has Diamond returned home?
  6. Thanks bro bawater. Your explanation is so clear and concise. Love it. You can write a book!
  7. According to one LFS in Balestier, there is this arogonite (spelling maybe wrong) chips which is better than coral chips to help maintain Calcium level. It is said to dissolved slowly in water. Whereas coral chips will not and turn dirty. It is quite expensive. Wonder if any bros have used it before. Konw CR is the ultimate but decided not to keep SPS so wont be geting it. Any opinions and advice are welcome. Thanks!
  8. Hi bro, can I ask how many watts light needed for Chaeto? Heard the normal frash water fish tank white light 11 watt is sufficient. Is it true? Thinking of getting from u to grow in sump tank.
  9. IMO if water condition is good chaging water will not help, in fact it may stress the fish further. Soak food in garlic to up their fight against ich. Good luck bro.
  10. Looking for T5 HO light set preferrably from DE. 2 or 4 tubes. 4 or 5 ft. Any bros or sistas letting go pls PM me. Thanks!
  11. Hi bros, know tis is a debatable topics but would like to know which brands fellow reefers are using. The price ranges of pdts out there are like from Changi to Tuas. I am looking for value for money ones that produce good results. Just place your advice below. Thanks ya! Additives in mind are: 1) Trace elements 2)Calcium and KH supplements 3) Liquid food for corals
  12. Hi bro, I had one Majestic Angel very fat and beautiful like the one in the pics. But it treats coral as food not frens. It will nip at sides of hammer, octopus, and wack elegance and jewels like nobody's business! I had to give it up for the sake of my corals. All angels are not risk safe, but if you are lucky can try Regal or Flame. My 2 cents worth. All the best ya!
  13. Hi bros, what additives do you use to get such nice red algae?
  14. Any bros use nitrate reducer as a way to maintain low nitrate level? Any opinions on product like NZ03 (cant remember the exact name). Any recommendations?
  15. Thanks bros. Moi not successful with new arrivals, so looking for PRs
  16. Thanks bro colinsoon. the problem I have is when I doze additives or kalk they will disappear Any clue why?
  17. Anyone have success in keeping one? I mean for a long time, not weeks. Care to share which types and how to make them last longer in tank?
  18. Anyone letting go powder blue, sohal, AT? I am looking for those that have been kept for long time. Thanks!
  19. Thanks bro Blenny. Know a CA reactor is the ultimate choice. But it is ex man! On the contrary if I get one, no more wife to spend time with me liao Anyway meddling with the tank is my way of de-stressing. I am trying to achieve a "low tech" reef tank read in one magazine. If I remember correctly that chap managed to keep a huge tank crowded with mainly LPS and some SPS and some reef safe fishes only with a skimmer, water change and adding trace elements. That chap is from Australia or US. Wonder if any bros here achieved low-tech big reef tank and care to share?
  20. Thanks to all bros for your replies, especially bro Iantoh for taking time to type the comprehensive reply and the very helpful links. I find most reefers I met are very friendly, helpful and easy-going, except a couple who can be a pain in the "blip".
  21. Just want to check around with other reefers how you guys maintain your KH and calcium level and I have the following qns: Using Kalk? Once a week, I mixed 1 teaspoon with water, let the residue settle down, and drip the clear mix into my 5 ft tank. But fishses dun seem to be able to take it. White powdery spots on body. Doctor fish disappeared. Dose Part A & B? What brand is cheap and good? CA reactor? - can it be used without CO tank? I am afraid of the tank exploding because got kids at home. Will Ca reactor also help to maintain KH? Thanks!
  22. Looking for small Sohal, AT, etc. PM me if you are letting go. Thanks!
  23. Derrel is a freidnly bro. Never seen so many nice quality tanks in one house before! Many different sizes. Bros who wan to get used tanks, lights and stuff should go take a look. Upz for you Derrel. All the best to your trip to US!
  24. Thanks bro Ray. I drained water and put it in sump, didnt survive since LFS no stock tot of getting from fellow reefers. Saw some yellow belly Regal at SL and Reborn last week. I think now should be easy to get.
