  1. 4500K is more towards pink. Where got actinic!?
  2. Snapping shrimps are known to attack other shrimps and consume them while they are dazed. Beware...
  3. Erm...from Sri Lanka. Anyone knows if the Blood shrimp from the philippines are more bright red?
  4. Maybe the calcium level too high. I'm just speculating. Notice most rocks that mushrooms grow on are almost devoid of coralline algae? Could be underdose or overdose of iodine? Not sure too. Maybe you can experiment around?
  5. WoW so red...if feed to my harlequin shrimp dunno if it will turn red or not...
  6. Reminds me of the time I was working at an aquarium. Was sent on deliveries with the driver. 4 feet tanks were already darn tiring. Especially those old flats with lifts only on alternate floors..darn irritating!
  7. Oh well..the tank has been filled with water for about 1 year already..So far no problems. Should have added some bracings before I converted it to a marine. Oh well... hehe..Guess when it cracks or something I will just have to set up a new tank! -.-
  8. Blood shrimp seems more sensitive to water parameters. My friend bought 1 blood shrimp (Lysmata debelius) and 1 cleaner shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) on the same day. Introduced them both to his cycled tank. The blood shrimp died but the cleaner shrimp did not. I guess it was due to specific gravity shock.
  9. Some species of angelfish. Not the dwarf varieties definitely. Surely one of those future big species. I can't really identify it...It still looks like a juvenile to me. When it grows bigger the patterns and colouring might change.
  10. Tanzy...What EviL deed are you plotting? LoLx
  11. Put the elephant ear into the blender for 1 second. Distribute the frags to us!
  12. Suggest that you make your tank totally escape proof. Feed it live small crabs.
  13. Are ghost pipefish as easy to keep as normal pipefish? I once saw them at Re****. Quite cool fishes. Saw them occassionally 'snapping' at micro-organisms. Think my tank can support them as it is rich in micros that you can see them even on the front glass. So far only 2 pipefish feeding on them. Recently their population seem to have doubled after I used DT's. Even tunicates started appearing!
  14. Oh..So that was you huh.. LoLx Anyway..my tank current relatively slow at most areas. My pipefish love swimming below the rock. Girdled quite easy to keep. I had one stable one always hunting during the day. Lived in my tank for about 2 months before it recently mysteriously disappeared. Hope it is somewhere in there. Like last time my yellow watchman goby went missing for 3 weeks before reappearing like a magician! Fishes are evil!
  15. Frogs and ricordeas are both soft. AHahhaha And some frogs are just as colorful too!
  16. My maroon always used to bite off some tentacles and eat them. Dunno if it's a bit crazy
  17. Reminds me of the time I bought a second hand teco for $500. Somehow it made ALOT of noise (so much so that I had to off it at night) and something went wrong with the compressor inside after only about 6 months. That time I was still young. Think only 17-18? Did'nt know who did the repairing for it. After some time of accumulating dust I stupidly threw it away. Ah well...if I had known I should have held on to it.
  18. Moon coral got alot of medium sized polyps one. If you are talking about the common brain coral, IMO it is just one BIG polyp.
  19. Buses that can go there are 197, 97, 198. Stop when you see Hong Leong (Big chunk of blue buildings with the Tiger Beer sign outside).
  20. Can always go Pasir Ris beach the mangrove areas during low tide to catch those small glass shrimp for your seahorse to eat. Beware of snakes though. They might seem small and cute. Was tempted to catch them before...But dun think I should risk it as I don't even know if they are venomous.
  21. I worse...once spent dunno how much on a frog. Could have bought 5 ricordeas. Argh...
  22. Put a rock next to the mushrooms at the side of your mushroom colony. Hopefully the mushrooms will move over themselves. Or the next time you see a mushroom dividing, quicken up the process by using a razor to make a clean cut along the spreading foot of the mushroom. Hopefully it would be easier to remove the 'daughter' mushroom then. Just try to gently ease the foot of the rock. You could try using a plastic card to do so.
