  1. well removing the other fishes from the tank isn't an option... so i guess the fries (if they even hatch) will have to fend for themselves for now... So basically no stress.. okie got it... my platy babies made it though... saw a few swimming around...
  2. Hi guys, Sorry ah.. FW stuff again.. Anyone has experience with discus? My pair just laid eggs a few hours ago... I was expecting this for some time already coz I can see the way they behave, shaking and all... In anycase.. i have never raised discus babies.. what should i do? Read some online stuff but don't think quite applicable coz mine is planted tank.. they laid their eggs on a leaf... and there are many other fishes around waiting to gobble up any fry that might emerge... How? Thanks! Ervine
  3. hm.. mine is in the NW of my bedroom but I don't see any money rolling in... or issit i CANNOT put it in the NW???
  4. wah.... scarely buy the flat just for the tank only.. hoho.. good luck with ur sales bro!
  5. I want the x-ray box!! Please PM me if still available...
  6. hm.. looks like all u need are the measurements and the proper tools... the rest are pretty easy leh..
  7. tot i heard some rumours of those being not very reliable.. anyone else has first hand experience?
  8. i use a those wool that come in sheets, not clumps.. easier to manage if u ask me.. in any case, i change them when they start to turn brown.. Actually my wool is mainly there to trap microbubbles leh.. haha
  9. wah.. branded magnetic glass cleaners!! how much will one of these babies cost?
  10. looks like pig organs to me... cook it in a stew and try? hehe
  11. HUH... 1/2 year??? I went tioman 1-2mths in advance can liao...
  12. wow! this is going to be my next destination!
  13. bro.. ur seio directly behind ur SPS can ah? so near?
  14. a lot of difference from BLV 20k? maybe it's not burnt in yet?
  15. i use a sawn off maxijet and a rio aimed at the dead spots... both running on timers.. The sawn off maxi shoots off at 2 different angles btw... there's a 50/50 chance of it shooting off in either direction
  16. me also no money to get CR leh... only got a DIY KR... BUT.. nvm.. I found the ultimate money saving solution liao.. I've given up all my SPSs... now only LPS.. so light also no need so strong, don need CR, don need all the expensive stuff.. haha... will try SPS again when I get my Singapore Pools Scholarship..
  17. i don think PAR = penetration dude.. PAR is some photosynthesis ratio thingy.. (correct me if I'm wrong).. more to do with the colour temperature than penetration.. or maybe both at the same time..
  18. Haha yah gambling winnings.. just kidding of course.. as for changes in my corals.. cannot really remember specifically, just felt as if the corals perked up after the newer bulb went in... I also wanna try the XM bulb but like i said.. now finances are not looking up.. sigh..
  19. hm.. well for me i noticed a slight difference in the corals when I swapped an 10-11mth old 20k bulb with a 5-6mth old one... but then it could just be my own imagination lah... haha... which reminds me.. I also supposed to change my bulb soon... shucks, where's the money from singapore pools when you need it!
  20. if i'm not wrong the colour temperature will stabalise after burning in... not quite sure what else changes... but i've not visually seen any difference.. maybe coz the change is rather gradual.. Oh.. i din know XM had 15ks... Hmm.. if u try out do let us know how it looks, I also don't run actinics with my BLV 20k... was contemplating the move to 10k but finances are up in a bunch now so cannot move any money into the tank...
  21. if u intending to get back 20ks then not that bad.. but if u suddenly change to 10ks i think ur corals might be in for a shock... but u can control it by limiting the no. of hours the new bulbs fire off per day... say usually 8hrs u start with 5? then over a few days increase...
  22. haha then go clubsnap ask loh... bet someone there confirm will know
