thanks for all the inputs! have a very specific use for the kent Tech M magnesium so can only use this particular brand. Polyart doesn't carry the particular additives which i'm looking for. Will be checking out bukit merah!
anyway at the risk of sounding like I'm exaggerating. My tank have been skimmerless ever since it started. 2 years old, no skimmer, no water change (at all). Keeping SPS, Soft corals, BTAs and livestocks. so far no casualties yet. using UAS..
my experience with skunk shrimp is that it gets bold after a while...in fact too bold that it steps all over corals, live stocks when it is trying to get to food.
personally, the idea of a reef tank is to create something which is as natural as possible. And for that sand is necessary, really up to personal preference
Plumbing supplies can be bought near henry's new place (marinelife). its at the same block just around the corner. You'll find 3 hardware stores and they carry plumbing supplies.
Melanurus wrasse going for $14. healthy and eats everything, size is around 3.5inch. been with me for around 1.5 years.
For those who are unfamiliar with this species, it popular in the trade for its voracious appetite of harmful pest of SPS corals and more. Do a search online and you find out its numerous benefits. Mine have been living peacefully for for the past 1.5 years with 2 clowns and 1 mandarin and 1 blenny. Selling to make space for other fishes.
only for people with substrate since this fish sleeps in substrate.
Collection will be done in Jurong west St 24. Please PM if interested.
