  1. Sat and sundaycrazy shopping for fish.Got myself a Hawaiian grouper (Cephalopholis polleni) pocket big hole. It very rare from hawaii, from LCK ah bak. And 2 pieces of Chaetodonplus septentrionalis (blue stripe angel) from desmond pacific marine.
  2. akahoshi, saw quite number of L to XL naso black dosal at coral farm. Check it out with them.
  3. bro confirm your clown surgeon ( line tang ) selling at $30 all lfs selling only ard $10 to $15 the most. up yr sales
  4. nice rocks, but your butterfly, trifaciatus aka rainbow butterfly and bicolor angel all very low survivor rate. but nice natural arrangement
  5. use tropic marin anti-aiptasia , i saw my friend use it very effective.
  6. bro, call Pub no use one, my monthly $200- $250, 3 of us in my family, me, my wife and son, 1 6x2x2.5 tank w/o chiller fish only tank and a 4x2x2.5 with 150 watts MH and teco RA680, my bill for sept rose up to $419. I call up PUB and they told me to monitor the meter reading, i told them july to august only me and my son were at home and did not even switch on the aircon, only spent fm 1900h to 0800h at home (my wife doing her confinement at in law place) It was SHOCK $419 for a 4 room flat and only me and my son. No choice they are the king for electric supply. If next month bill still like that no need to go farm liao not even buy a blue damsel. Just imagine this month you pay $900 then next few month you have to pay $700+ to $800+ can die one. Patrol price up, GST 5%, Pub bill up, ERP but no pay raise to suit the ups
  7. Harlequin Tusk, at $20 ??? Price ard $35 up. They prefer mysis shrimp, chop market prawn. Make sure its eating already in the lfs, otherwise u need to train it, buy a plastic tank those with handle and drill hole for water circulation. then attach suckers on it and attach to the main tank( might looks ugly). Firstly, it help new fish to stable down rather then attack by other fishes and it also prevent stress. Secondly, u can observe whether how well they are eating and their progress. Lastly, you will observe other fishes those aggressive one trying to attack it but they will be protected by the plastic tank and soon when they are stable and eating they will be ready to introduce into the main tank. Let me ask u a question. Have u ever introduce new fishes into the tank and see your newly purchase being attack by other causing u heartache? Reason, they are already stress and introduce to the tank and being attack or disturb by your old fishes stress + stress = ??? However at least those in the plastic tank which ready accepted food or even from your hand and very stable, even they are attack once u introduce them to the main tank, it wont be as stessful as you introduce them immediately. Give a try.
  8. Neon eating. Ah beng only had 5 pcs there, i took 2 on Sunday, don't know wats the balance. $18 ea, must BARGAIN remember. Bro neokn, no lemonpeel there in the east.Will surely sms you when saw beautiful queen or lemon peel. Cheers!

  9. Hawaiian eyestripe surgeonfish, Acanthurus dussumieri. I kept this juv before about 4 inch. Not as beautiful as the adult. Saw the adult at ah beng shop a few month ago it beautiful 8 inches $80. Can ask the LFS if you know them well to include in their order list.
  10. Ping you are low class are you the owner or relative of that paticular shop if not why so heat up. I thought as a marine hobbyist we should share all trial and error we gone thur and share our success to other instead. whatever happened just give advice and share. You call ppl bapok and etc! How old are you? Be more mature . Sick of all this. To all bro out there, sorry if all this i post upset you all.
  11. HI why don't you try plenum system in the tank. 1, egg crate 2, 13" pve pipe grey type 3, green netting Firstly, cut the egg crate to 1.4 by 1.4. Cut the pvc piping in length of 6" and secure with cable tie. Cover the egg crate with green netting to prevent sand from entering. Lastly place it in the tank and use grade 5 sand fill up to 5 inches from the base of the tank. Use live rock and need to watch the live stock tt you intend to introduce, avoid sand digging species. Use PL lighting. Use clip on fan, and replace water tt evaporate with kalkwasses. Change a pail of water weekly. importantly is to get the water parameter balance. Hope you will succeed and happy reefing.
  12. Sorry bro, i was told by a friend in US, he had his queen for years, why don't you try this web site, www.wetwebmedia.com, or go yahoo.com and type wetwebmedia straight. the author is Bob Fenner
  13. Deal @ mrt, if the fish beathing hard was told not enough air??? Will you take it. Let this be a lesson learn for us.
  14. neokn, thanks the dottyback i got from you are beautiful.
  15. Friend where do you stay, you went up to ppl house bring the fish bag COMFIRM WITHOUT OXYGEN!!! somemore it is AT. The journey from seller place to your place of course breath hard then die lah, try pinch your nose and take train back see you can tahan or not. I don't know the seller but i believe he did not sell you dying fish. Next time when you want to purchase fish go to the nearest LFS and request for a pack of oxygen then transfer the oxygen to the bag contain live stock. See the fish not ok don't buy.
  16. Heniochus Diphreutes and the acuminatus are commonly trade in our LFS, mostly the diphreutes are imported together with the acuminatus. Never notice got mix up, look at the mouth of the H acuminatus Linch9sg have, more sharp, and H diphreutes 's round. Cheers.
