Stop tempting me!!

Check valves? I know got those meant for airline tubing. So by right there should be some manufactured for PVC tubes, then again I've never seen one. Maybe I mountain tortoise.

Let there be light! Hmm, are you in the habit of dripping kalk? From what I observe, dripping kalk seems to inhibit algae growth..especially for algae growing on the glass.

Must feed daily like suncoral. If not you will notice their tentacles getting shorter and shorter.

Abalones should do the trick. Never found any problems with them knocking any rocks over, even small rocks. Best thing is that if you have diatoms they eat them too. The only thing which might topple rocks are the short-spined urchins like pencil urchins. Diadema urchins never gave me a problem, quite agile despite their long spines.

Simple mass water change will solve the problem. Way cheaper than solving the problem by using rowaphos plus calcium additives. Be sure to use a good salt mix like Tropic Marin or Instant Ocean.

You chia my air ticket I can join..why not?

Wow..thought I stumbled upon the wrong post. 5 pages within a few hours. Anyway, pairing black cap should be the same with orchid dottybacks. Force pair one small one big and hope for the best. The largest one should be/become a male while the smaller should be/remain a female. Chances of obtaining a pair are higher if you force pair more individuals. Of course while doing this a tank with lots of hiding places is a must and best if both fish are introduced at the same time. As for the algae maybe 2-3 abalones will help chomp down everything?

Eh..$35 only meh!?

Will be a very nice tank in months to come. Every thought of using it as a black cap breeding tank? Not that hard to pair them up.

Should have filmed it. Then show as a movie "Final destination - scallop".

Wait till September. I will flood the market with live feed.

First food = rotifers.

Wah..the lucky guy who got the liverocks.

Feed the blasto more and it should be fine. They normally should be in feeding mode after lights off.

Shrimps currently reserved by a conscientious reefer.

Iodide is the ionised form of iodine, which is normally what people dose. Iodine itself is supposedly toxic.

Passing to my friend to hold around 8pm. If interested do sms me at 90660450 before 8pm. If not I'll probably have to ask my friend to arrange the deal some other time. Cheers~

Have not read that article yet..but will check it out soon when I'm free. Rather busy these few days. Don't worry if you're kind of confused, I'm confused as well. My thinking is that since blue, red and green are primary colors. For a coral to appear intense blue,red or green, it should have reflected off a high amount of primary color, which corresponds to an increased absorbtion of light of other spectrums. So you should be right in interpreting that such corals will indeed become the hottest. Normally if we buy intensely colored sps and place them in an area of low light or low flow by right they should brown out? This phenomenon should be linked to the article mentioned, but in what way I have trouble explaining. I have a mental block at the moment.

I have been enlightened!

Last call..need to go by this coming Sunday (19th). Buyer will get some tips on breeding these shrimp, recently sourced from a German website.

Got news that the last surviving amboinensis larvae settled around 170 days+. More than 5 months to settle. If they do take that long to settle in nature, the aquarium trade should make them very endangered soon.

How about putting the dark colored sps close to the current output while the lighter colored ones further behind? Hmm, so actually is it wise to buy browned out sps just because they are cheaper?

Apparently I think I managed to secure Trizopagurus magnificus. Native to Sea of Cortez. Also featured in Crustacea of the World by Helmut Debelius, page 232. http://baja.divebums.com/FieldID/Pages/tri...magnificus.html Apparently a hermit species rare in the trade. 100% reef safe. Best thing is..I get them from a location not previously reported. Apparently part of the population migrated.
