  1. Also available at harlequin aquarium @ cavan road. They got the whole range of salifert products (from test kits to additives) if I did'nt remember wrongly.
  2. Impossible to keep it alive. Save your $.
  3. Whatever you do just don't place them on rocks.
  4. Hmmm..lucky I did'nt go..don't really enjoy crowding with ppl... Anyway guys, just be more careful if you are going for the coming countdown. Wear jeans with super tight pockets or place your wallets in the front pockets. Leave important cards like I.C and credit cards at home if possible. Just bring your EZ-link card if not driving & cold hard cash and split the cash up for security (maybe stuff part of it into your shoes just in case). For me good steel toe boots would come to use should pickpockets try their luck on me.
  5. Some marine mollusc. Probably a nudibranch or flatworm of some sort.
  6. Hmmm...I used to keep acro at 27-28 degrees celcius. Occassionally reaching 29 degrees. The important thing is to have ample levels of dissolved oxygen via proper skimming and low bioload. Wastes break down much faster in warmer temperatures so it would make sense to keep your bioload much lower in higher temperatures. You should not save on the protein skimmer if your water temperatures are high. Buy the best you think you can afford as chemical & biological reactions are accelerated by high temperatures.
  7. Calcium reactor is what you really need.
  8. Eh? Why so worried about nitrates? I find that as long as they stay below 50ppm can keep most things already. I was knowingly keeping more sensitive hard corals at 25ppm nitrates last time. In the end the level dropped as i reduced by bioload. Too many clams might contribute to the bioload while removing nitrate slower than they produce it....Not forgetting the forever depleted kH and calcium values if not maintained constantly with a calcium reactor. Just some things you should consider too.
  9. I have 4 2ft tanks to help in acclimatization if needed. As for the mysis I can contribute, still got one large pack of P.E mysis 70% unused.
  10. The reason to so many dogs/cats abandoned is because people simply do not have enough choices here for less maintenance pets (there are many alternatives but many of these are not viewed as acceptable yet). As a result they end up buying something which does not fit their lifestyle. That's the problem here. Sometimes consumers just lack the choice which they should be entitled to. They end up buying something as a substitute which does'nt really suit their lifestyle in the end. Dogs, cats, rabbits, etc take up alot of time and many people find they can't commit in the long run..which by then is already too late. Not to mention the financial upkeep which most people tend to overlook when choosing a pet. Always think twice about keeping something warm blooded. They need to be cared for daily and they need genuine daily interaction for emotional well-being.
  11. Can lah...I used 58W ballasts on 54 tubes before..
  12. Most likely it's not the fault of the pump. Your other sally lightfoot might have killed the smaller one.
  13. No time to experiment with galaxea fragging. As a result selling these 2 handpicked specimens off. Both maintained 9 inches away from 10,000K ATI bulbs. Highest bidder gets the piece. Pls bid in this thread. Will decide by thursday night and pm potential buyer. Left piece : Main tissue looks light brown, tentacle colouration developed a slight pinkish tint, tentacle tip is lime green. Size around palm size. Bidding starts at $25. Right piece : Tentacle is orangy brown, tentacle tip is white. Under actinics it looks very fluorescent orange (saw it before under such conditions at the shop). Size is twice that of item 1. Bidding starts at $20.
  14. They need to be fed on newly hatched rotifers/artemia if I did'nt remember wrongly. You need to separate them and provide gentle aeration using an air pump limited to 1 bubble every 2-3 secs. Keep water quality high.
  15. Lionfishes are very sensitive to even minute amounts of ammonia and nitrite.
  16. AVA sounds helpful. But more often than not they are too lazy to be bothered to help us with paperwork. I tried talking to them before regarding non-CITES species till I almost vomitted blood, not mentioning species under CITES.
  17. Hmmm...if anyone manages to epoxy mushy frags..kudos to them..
  18. ML still have about 3 large orange goose scorpionfish, 1 small yellow goose scorpionfish, squarespot anthias, 2 pc moorish idol, cushion seastars, cool urchins (1 burrows under the sand), sand dollars, sea cucumber (not the usual type you see around), small pyjama cardinalfish, some sea hares left, zebra hermits, urocaridella shrimps (very good cleaner shrimp), blue linkias, lots of firegobies.
  19. Orchid dottyback. Left my ###### shrimps and urocaridella shrimps alone.
  20. Always have good carbon running. You don't want them to die in their own ink. Cuttlefish rest below the sand during the day.
  21. Your pump probably needs a good cleaning.
  22. Salifert flatworm exit? Use with caution though.
