Oh, please keep an eye on the 2 mandarin fishes and see if they'll fight....non paired ones normally will haress each other....

Looks like a tiny brittle star to me...cant ID it properly....anyone else?

Hrmz, i doubt high PH will affect your skimmer's skimate, but please do bring your PH pen down to some LFS, maybe to one you frequent and ask to test it...best if can test on their display tank.... Could have spared you some calibrating liquid but my wife poured them away thining they were water parameter test specimens.... Haha...i've ordered them again though, and if you really cant find any, i'll be glad to spare you some when my stock arrives.

Yeap...agree with hondaker, the auntie and uncle shop isnt very well stocked but since its on the way to ah beng's, i'll always pay it a visit....who knows what you might find there oneday...

Not to forget that the hot season is coming and if you are going to set your chiller at 25 degrees, i doubt it'll ever turn itself off... LS can easily tolerate even 30 degrees so i guess 28 would be pretty comfy for them already....

A pair of percs would be nice....

Hrmz, maybe you can bring your test pen to some LFS or member's tank and test it using their tank water....just to make sure its accurate...

Haha, maybe we can cycle there one day...this sat perhaps? Been such a long time since i visited that place...

Oh Okayz...thanks for the info!~

Erm, cant really remember how i fd it but when i just started the hobby, i searched around LFS listings and manage to find it. Near to my place in anchorvale ma. Nice place to visit once a while...

Haha, you sure have lots of sun corals around, got any super suns? Im still waiting for my yellow sun to open fully...

Erm, whats is that thing your clamp is in? A container of some sort? Why not put it somewhere on your LRs? Btw, your Mh still looks abit blueish to me...

Haha, yeah....great job....reef on!~ I doubt it'll last forever though....one day u might just realised....HEY, its time to upgrade!~

Hrmz, where did you get that from? HAve never seen it retailing in any LFS before....reefdepot again? haha

I don't think prolong photosysthesis will do much.....just try do maybe water changes everyday for the next few days to lower your PH level...

Its your birthday today? Best wishes!~ And nice looking tank!

Oh, that one....used to go there quite frequently....thanks for the info!~

lOl....no problem....we are all here to help each other and learn. I've got lots to learn too. Simply put. PH is measured on a scale on 0 to 14. The middle of the scale being 7 is neutral. 0 being the most acidic. Alkalinity(measured by KH) is the ability of the water to maintain a stable PH level. I think it means something like if your KH level is good enough(9 to 12DKH), it'll help maintain your PH at a stable level...

Erm, directions to the shop please?

No prob...its a really amazing fish...closest to a PET you'll ever experience with any kind of marine fishes....

Erm, i guess they don't mention abt high Ph coz normally Ph will only drop....not increase. Not really sure what a Ph of 9 will do to ur LS though. Taken from a site... "PH is the scale that measures how acidic or basic a substance is. It has the scale of 0-14 with 7 being neutral. Values less than 7 indicate an acid while those above indicate a base. Lemon juice (citric acid) is an acid with a pH of around 2.3. Borax (sodium borate) is a base with a pH of around 9.2. In a reef aquarium you want to maintain the pH in the mildly basic range of 8.0-8.4. Alkalinity is the ability of water to resist the pH being lowered by acids. Acids in your tank come from the respiration of carbon dioxide and organic acids produced as a waste product of metabolism. Alkalinity neutralizes these acids. Alkalinity is generally considered to be the amount of bicarbonate and carbonate in your tank water. Borate is also sometimes included as it is used in some salt mixes to boost alkalinity. A tank with sufficient alkalinity will maintain a stable pH."

Oh, didnt know that. 925C starts from Boonlay or CCK?

Erm, algae bleenies retail for ard that price everywhere...i think. Is the old man at the end of the farmways just after fernvale area? Btw, i had an algae blenny once....didnt help much cleaning the algae and just disappeared one day. Died of hunger i guess since he doesnt take any food i drop into the tank....

My boxfish likes to stay at the top of the tank, what i do is put the food right in front of him, so no matter how fast the other are, he'll get the first bite....
