jacobus replied to jacobus's topic in General Reefkeeping_

jacobus replied to angelfishlover's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
welcome to the hobby!!! who say dont over skim the tank ? if u check the tank threads .. people are going for super clean water ... as for chiller equipments wise ah ... do check out the pasar malam section in the forum for 2nd hand stuff ... will save u alot of money ... live rock can also be bought there ... i suggest buying rocks from us reefers instead of the shop ... u buy from shop super ex ... -

i believe that solar power i possible ? but from the current technology now. might be impossible.. i remember there was a point of time where there was a big hype about solar energy.. but with the current technology ... we would require a large amount of solar panels on our roofs ... that is only for people with landed properties.. hdb flats would be a problem ... esp if your block has a few reefers ... you will need more panels... i think those genius jap scientists should do research on this rather than on those silly dancing robots . -

sorry with my late replies ... been preoccupied with stuff .... as for natural waste removal ... methods like using mangroves ... stuff like tt? i thought about it ... for their coral reef tank.. the chura-umi aquarium in okinawa uses SUNLIGHT ONLY to light their tanks... why isnt possible for us ? we have chillers and all ... plus if really needed cant we just have the lights on and sun down.. and i realised on thing when i visited a "ulu" LFS ... sunlight brings out amazing coloration in fish that artifical means can not achieve... aside from this ... i was browsing a local photography forum at their underwater photos section when i came across a debate of [[ marine organisms in captivity = no good ]] which sadly pointed out that us reefers are baddies. taking corals from the sea and fish ... as result ... more fish die / reef destroyed.. if u want to take a look at the content of the debate PM me and i will direct u to the link. being me... i started a topic there to let them know about out propagating/ fragging activities and even aquaculture ( hopefully another flame war will not start ) but saying that... really .. we should start making a stand to show that we are not exploiters of the sea ..that we are doing our part as well .. PS: pls pls pls dont go there and bombard the ppl ... i promised the mods i was not going to stir up trouble there. -

those are really encouraging words ... good to see such response.. although i secretly hoped for more replies... can i ask ? any bros here ever develop any form of attachment for there LS ? i dont know about large tanks ... but with a small tank like mine ... where every fish is accounted for daily ... it hurts me to sell a fish ... leaves me in a dilemma ... in case you haven noticed ... im semi-decomming again due to a horrendous accident that left my room flooring in a mess that aside ya ... especially for the fish that's been with me for a while .. its terribly hard .. apart from the sidetrack. anyone have come across use of natural waste removal ? -

whoops wrong section. can the mods shift this ? -
just something to debate on. hopefully it wont turn out to be a flame war. 1. We love the sea and its inhabitants. We want to preserve the fishes/corals/inverts. But. In the pursuit of this hobby we: ( Im not pointing fingers, im guilty of some of these as well ) - keep on persisting in attempting to rear a rare/hard to keep creature even after multiple failures. - use up so much electricity in having a ton of equipment to maintain pristine water quality. - release foreign species into local waters, potentially endangering local species. are we reefers, in maintaining our tanks. unknowningly harming the earth ? should we be attempting to ( i know some people here are doing it ) : - breeding LS / fragging corals more? - trying out natural ways of water maintenance? - using less energy consuming equipments (better for our pockets as well)

bro RX ! how's ur angel ? i got the same one recently too... haha .. mine doing well and feeding on pellets ... suprising coz i din train it to .. was meant for my scooter blenny's dinner when i saw the angel eating pellets .. nice shrimp btw.. bro QX .. ur getting more active in the forum again huh .. planning a comeback? u remember me ??
-
haha i agree with rx.. but its scary la ... for ur fishes to start pecking on corals ... esp when some corals may be very costly and equally sensitive as the MI ... all the best to u bro ... since u hit 3 weeks then to me should be fine ? cheers !

moorish idols are not reef-safe , not suitable with clams as well.. it is also a quite a difficult fish to keep as its condition is very weak when it comes to a new environment. very prone to itch and will colors will fade drastically when stress. requires alot of attention and space. i would recommend 4 feet or more. btw this is my experience and opinion... any bros successful with MIs pls give advice as ive tried 3 times and all nv past the 2 week mark.
