2nd hand AquaC urchins would also be considered..depending on price. I am a poor student with an unpredictable future in another 6 months...cannot invest too much.....

You can try Kirin..saw them there the last time i went there. The 2 i have at home were gotten from LCK110 quite many months ago. Commonly they are called ###### shrimp. Anyway..don't think got anything in my tank that would eat my emperor shrimp..cause nothing disturbs my ###### shrimp..not even a giant sri lankan pistol shrimp..nor my 2 jawfish. More likely the emperor shrimp died of stress...they are found on a variety of hosts in the wild....maybe I should have placed it on my sea cuke..oh well..that was ages ago..i just placed it on my liverock and never seen it since.

Try PR...one snail for $1.

Going to install a 2nd protein skimmer in my sump. People who are letting go their Weipros 2012 let me know...no need pump..I will be using a maxijet on it.

Oh..so should that be a compliment?

It's still applicable...I only said it after I experienced this problem.....meant to tell ppl dun be as itchy hand as me..... Hey Rumor...you don't have a crush on me do you? How you manage to remember all the things i said? ahaha..just joking.

With the amount of T5s you are using, you settle for MH will be a wiser choice...one 54W tube is between 50-60 bucks...7 tubes would be 350-420 bucks. You can easily D.I.Y 2X250W SE MH with that price if im not wrong...... Then again..an issue might be the heat released by the MH...however...7 T5s are'nt exactly as cool as you think..the heat generated can equal that of a MH.

wow so many clowns....

Hmmm..that time whether I have overdosed or not I am not too sure..cause that time tried to increase my kH to around 10..added about half of the 250gram bottle over a period of 2 weeks...in the end of it all..measure my kH and it was still around 7.4..my tank is around 200 litres..Calcium levels were a lil high..around 480-500ppm..magnesium was around 1300ppm.. Then one day i forgot to drip my reef builder...poured in about 2 teaspoons mixed with water direct into my sump (thinking that it was water i left overnight)..then my protein skimmer started foaming alot...and then zoanthids n mushies were the first to start shrinking..until now they havent fully recovered... I'm tired of bothering with my kH already..changed 50% with tropic marin 2 days ago and today the kH is still around 7.4 Decided to leave it as that...tired of trying to fix something so headache......

Ok...thanks..so I guess my mushies n zoanthids are still closed because of the overdose of reef builder tat time... weird..they started to open...then when i left the house i dosed a few drops of phyto .came home and all closed again...smelt the phyto and it stank so much more than dt...so just threw it away...guess it had gotten bad..

I've given up on emperor shrimps..they just disappear. Also given up on anemone shrimps..they tend to turn white after a 1-2 months and just die on you. Try thor amboinensis...had mine for many months.

I've given up on red sea...mix it with water and you can feel the heat liberated. Tropic marin not that bad...dissolve speed very fast

Hi guys, I have been using Coralife salt for quite some time...recently changed to tropic marin...been changing about 1 coralife bucket full using tropic marin once a week for about a month already...so far no problem.... Just did a 50% waterchange 2 days ago using Tropic Marin (about 4 coralife bucket full) to settle some chemical imbalance..Now my mushrooms and zoanthids are still shrunken. Anyone forsees any problem?

crocs are such nice animals....how can anyone bear to eat them?

Depends on what plants you keep. Plants like christmas moss don't really need CO2....plants like riccia, hairgrass. glossos..those need CO2 to grow nicely.

I would guess your acros were frozen to death. 21 degrees celcius can keep temperate species already

Yea..it feels horny alright... Just like this...... =x

Wow...the monti cap has found a nice home!

Before I did water change it was about 480ppm...now it should be around the normal range?

I've stopped dosing any additives already. Yesterday I performed a 50% waterchange using Tropic Marin salt...very backache now... Weird thing is......I measured kH this evening...got a reading of 7.4. EXACTLY the same as the reading before i did the waterchange. What am I doing wrong? Argh...maybe I should'nt bother about kH anymore since it has given me more problems than benefits since I started measuring it. Now all I get are shrunken mushrooms and closed zoanthids.

Heh..left you out Golf..so sorry! Tues then?

Thanks DeepBlue for your help....how are the monti caps doing? Danano collected his yet?

Ok guys..I'm back..had to replace my power supply and a new piece of ram...cpu fan..and ventilation fan....cost me close to $200.... Anyway...Next time i will be free will be this coming tuesday..anytime between 1.30pm to 5pm. It's view first...and collect if you are happy with it...my place is around bedok mrt. So...linkinpark...anthony(both maze and moon available), ridemtb, nicky...coming this tues?

I don't see anything wrong with plucking off a handful of nuisance algae. Just make sure you don't damage anything else while getting to them...

Maybe he wants to tie them onto liverock and do some underwater gardening...reminds me of the freshwater riccia fluitans.
