  1. Get maybe 2-3 turbo snails..they should keep your glass clean. What lighting are you using btw?
  2. Reminds me of a human persistently having flu (me)...go out sure scare ppl becoz of SARS....BWuahahaa... Clownfish..try to keep your cow occupied..give it lots of grass.
  3. I am looking for one more Elbiru dual-Eballast...55Watts If you are willing to let go pls pm me with price. Thanks.
  4. I am awed..wow...Woonming..I really love ya algae...can I have some? Would really love to culture some..hehe...
  5. Copper will form green copper oxide if given time. Don't think it is a good idea as copper is toxic for reef tanks. Why not use AC fans instead? Can easily cool down to 27 degrees.
  6. Don't think it is the nitrates. Should be the phosphates. How long have you used the phosphate remover? You might want to replace it with Rowaphos or Contraphos? Phosphates are essential to make up DNA of all living things. So if you remove phosphates from your water...I'm sure your algae would already have a hard hard time surviving...even if there are nitrates and lots of light.
  7. VEry selective feeders. It will only choose certain plankton that it recognises as food. It uses the mucus secreted by its cilia to trap the food. The cilia then sweep the food laden mucus to the mouth. Even with live phyto and frozen zooplankton IMO it is still impossible to keep this fella alive. They need live zooplankton.
  8. LaiLai..we organise outing to NUS to bio charbo...esp at swimming pool AHAHHahaa...bwilly organiser!
  9. All healthy anemones will stick to your finger when you touch it lah You touch a real carpet anemone & you will know the difference. BTW..you bought tat tank at H20 aquarium issit? I used to work there part-time.
  10. Hmmm? toothpaste? Why would I need toothpaste? I don't even have toothbrush. No teeth brush for wat?
  11. Usually darker colors might indicate stress? Or maybe signs of cyanide poisoning?
  12. My fans used to be on 24 hours....but the evaporation rate was crazy..but water temp. normally keep at 27 degrees celcius Now I on it only when the lights come on...so my temperature hovers around 28-29.... save electricity..hehe
  13. It is commendable that you are trying to achieve close to 0 nitrates in the tank. But in my opinion it also depends on the type of corals you are trying to keep. Soft corals can withstand nitrates better compared to hard corals. I find keeping nitrates in check very troublesome...so I stick to soft corals. It's all up to the individual. Monitoring nitrate levels would drive me nuts....last time I had a 2 feet tank...every week I could change up to 50-70% of the water and the nitrate level would still be the same...very very frustrating. Got tired of it and stopped monitoring nitrates soon after...just monitored the health of my corals...if they look fine then I just leave the water as it is. Instead of a deioniser...you could use maybe a distiller? From what I know it only contains pure water...as the water is evaporated and condensed again. I don't think nitrates would evaporate right? Hehe..
  14. Wow..nice fish..would love to get it...but I guess my anemone shrimps would be gone..sigh... Btw..nice clowns!
  15. huh? so cheap only ah..wow..can get 3 for my tank..one for left portion..one for middle..one for right.. Flubberina...later another fish pick up the same habit as Cowie...choichoichoi..touch wood..
  16. Ahahaa...ya I agree too...but I have survived till now without counselling..so no need I guess. Anyway...was told that coco worms are not cheap...if I'm not wrong they are around $20 +-?
  17. Think you meant feather stars a.k.a crinoids. Impossible to keep. Save your $$ for something else.
  18. Cowfishes are another bunch of ich magnets.
  19. Hai...okok..wait till your triggers get bigger then you update me on what happens.
  20. Saw one at WaterCir***. But they say not for sale. Anyway...hardly see coco worms nowadays...But if you want the tube without the worm...i can get alot of free tubes...AHahhaa
  21. Aiyo...flubberina so cruel...amitabha... Could throw them in the sea wad...why kill them? hehee...
  22. Aiya...if your tank is doing well..what is a miserable 10ppm of nitrates? I've seen amazingly nice reef tanks even at 50ppm of nitrates. Sigh....eat full full nothing to do ah?
