hmmm.. leather sounds like a good choice..Devil's Hand Leather Coral!!

haha! dat place was once your suncoral spot! I prefer my star polyps in lower water current

Hi guys! I have an empty area in my nano tank about 4 inches wide which is directly under my water flow (ie water flow very high)! Any recommendation what coral is suitable? I have tried a cup coral and hammer with disaster results! elegance? thanks!

Hi! just PM you! can reserve for me!!

Heard that this type of fish must live in a group! I bought a small one which didn't last more than a week!! also don't know what happen, it was eating happily! I suspect they might have become fish food for other fishes!!

Very Very shy fish. need extreme target feeding!! I have one for 3months before it die when it's head got stuck in a empty shell?!?!!? (freak accident) it is very stressful keeping this fish as the fish will choose a burrow a new hole in the sand once it is disturbed!. I couldn't find him a couple of times and thought he has gone up the lorry!

Can reserve the bubbles 1 $15 for me! Can go down to your place tonite to pick it up! just PM my HP no.!! thanks!

Hi! Thanks for your offer! someone has offer his phosphate removal and we have agreed a deal! Thanks!

interested in your bubble and leather! interested to let them go separatedly?!

Anyone got unused or extras to let go, please PM me! Thanks!

hi guys! Many Thanks for all the tips and advice! Alas, I have no space beside or under for sump or any other filter system! Okie here's my plan: 1. Replace 20% of the sand and water 2. Reduce feeding mysis and zooplankton to once every 2 days 3. Reduce lighting to 6hrs aday (my tank is enjoy free sunlight from the window) 4. Continue changing 10% water every week 5. using RowaPhos to remove PO4 (how much should i buy for a 12G tank?) 5. Must get out the Dottyback and a Damsel to reduce bioload 6. Pray hard Btw, is it ever possible to achieve a tank with no visible algae in it?

okie thanks!

Hi Zorden! How much did u pay for it? what colours? thanks!

I am still unsure wat type of algae is growing on my sand! It is like brown green scum. it even grows on my star polyps, suffocating them! I will take a photo later tonite! quite a lot of aglae removal brand out there, not sure which one is effective!

oh yah. got a blue feet hermit, at least he like eating the hair algae

Okie my one is a nano tank! 2 ft x 1 ft x 1.5 ft(H) but should be overload liao Softies such as mushies, yuma & leather, stars, fan, polyps Hard corals: Hammer, Cup and flower pot 1 rose tip anemone 3 damsels, 1 Clown, 1 bicolor Blenny, 1 mandarin, 1 Dottyback, 1 red prawn, 1 Majestic lobster, 2 unknown crab 1 mantis shrimp 2 tube worm using 2 cheapo skimmers. using some sort of overflow system, not sure what brand Last sunday check, NH3 and NO2 are Nil, Temp around 27-28C using a fan to cool 1.025 salinity

Hi guys! Any tips how to fight algae?! I am losing ground with those yucky scum algae that is covering my sands!! I have already reduced lighting in the day and even introduce turbo snails and goby without much success. Has anyone has experience with phosphate removal or those algae removal chemical? How to use them effectively? Or any other tips? Many thanks!

Hi SBS, yup u are right. it has been 2 days running continuous. I only got some pathetic yellow stuff in the cup at the moment.... Btw, I heard a tip that the skimmer collection cup must not be washed, need to leave some skimate inside to "attact" more dirt?!?!

oh. didn't know that wood cost so much!!! no choice, i got to adjust the pump motor to maintain the water level....

Hi Barnacle! Thanks for the advice!

Just bought a $8 Skimmer with Pump for my nano. just trying out, don't know how effective it can be. at least i see lots of bubbles! Hope to see some protein waste collected on the cup soon! btw, how long does it ususally take to witness some visible scum collected in the cup? thanks!

here's the remaining survivor! keeping my finger cross!! Thank guys for the advice!

okie, I think i took 45mins to reach home. must be too stress up by then! Water parameter is fine. I placed both at low current and strong light area, but still one of them went up lorry... will take a photo later!

Hi guys! I just bought my 1st hammer corals yesterday night. 2 pieces. Both was opened quite beautiful at the LFS. when I reach home, I found both pieces were "vomiting" those sticky yucky stuff.. are they stressed up? anyway to prevent such things or some tips to transport this type of corals? anyway, this morning, I had to throw one away. gone up lorry liao.. quite disappointed. the other one is still struggling to open... Any tips to improve the survival rate of these guys during transportation?? Thanks!!

hi guys! I got a problem with macroalgae. i think my fish like to bite them, very soon, my tank will be fill with pieces of "leave" floating around. very messy.... do you guys put them in a sump instead? thanks!
