Bi colour blenny will nip at SPS. I have got rid of mine so now I can safely keep one to help control the algae growth. My yumas need to stay on the sandbed. no space to reallocate. also hard to find a spot where the current is not so strong problem with nano.

one of the rics seemed to be doing ok. More bubbly now. The other rics was detached from the rock and is more stressed now Will take longer time for him to recover.

my sunburst yuma can expand to a 20 cent coin size already (from 5 cent size when 1st introduced) how come the mouth for this yuma is not extended upwards? been flat for a week already any advice?

My Randal goby committed suicide.... could have jumped in desperation when attacked by my firefish or tangaroa goby. bought a 2 spot for his slot. My girl missed "brownie". So I got a replacement bi-colour blenny. She is so happy now.

My 6 line bud. The tail was so green and the fins has very nice blue.

Comy, Peace, need your help to identify some of the zoas I got from you guys if you are free. pls let me know if their colouration has dropped. all pics are taken just after the lights are switched on. The green on the face of this zoas seems to be getting more intense. The pink for this one is still not really developed. The colours are still quite pale. This one is growing nicely. This one is not opening fully. A lot of the polyps are still closed. This frag was closed up for a couple of days. This photo was taken when it was introduced into my tank. Photo taken today. but I have lost 1 polyp. Peters frag doing well. The orange and green are stronger now. I can see the brownish red ring now. This blue zoas are nice. The bigger bunch that I bought from Fuel are still a shade lighter in colour. I seemed to have lost the redness on the rim. More brownish now. Question, how come some of the rim flare up and look so untidy unlike some other zoas? (like bad hairday) Are they doing ok? colour seemed to be turning to more brown losing the red color too. Am I correct? The face seems to be less orangy now for this bunch. The blue for this zoa is not really visible. This mini green ones are really nice. So small that I almost lost them before I glued it.

np REd. I am still sure it is not from the cannister. The chiller leaked these dirt out the 1st day I install it. and each time after i power off and on the pump, it will still leak again. something inside could be corroded or worn out. definitely not rust though. Will update you guys once I have the servicing guys here.

Noted on the cannister and the surface skimmer (point 2 & 3) But on point 1 - the dirt is 100% not from the cannister. It is from within the chiller. Think will need to ask Artica to come and check it out.

your tub of pods wiped?

let me try to get it pass my wife 1st. she's already not so happy with an cannister placed outside.

nice work! ** And I thought my MP10 is under utilized lol.

Terry, keep me posted on your developement/ findings. Am thinking of hanging a refugium on my tank to breed pods Mandarin & clingfish getting thinner by the day.

LED fan blade broke. So reinstated my MH for the time being till I get it replaced. water is extracted from my Eheim skimmer to my 2026 to my chiller and return to the tank. so chiller is the last point after all the filtration. But I experienced the same thing when I connected my Tunze reefpack the last time (brand new). So something in the chiller is contributing to the pollution. ORP range can be around 350 - 450 right? 400 should be ok I think. Pls correct me if I am wrong. Yes understand about the ORP drop part but this time, it does not recover that quickly.

here's the FTS after removing 1 more rock and with the surface skimmer installed.

HELP NEEDED: Installed my 2026 the other day and there was a lot of micro bubbles. left it till today to sort it out. Turns out that i could have cap the cannister cover wrongly. redo the whole setup. remove the tunze cleaner. reconnect all the tubings. installed the eheim surface skimmer, reprime the 2026 and finally got it working. The bad news is that when I restart the 2026, a lot of dirt / debris (like torn dirty paper) filled my tank. They are definitely coming out from my chiller. The whole tank was full of it. Has anyone encounter this before? I am using the artica chiller 1/15 HP. all my fishes were so stressed and immediately developed white spots. My clown is in white poker dots now Hope he recovers. ORP has dropped to 330 from 400. what are these dirt from the chiller? I am skeptical of switching the chiller off and on again. Need some comments and help here. I cannot see if I have resolve the microbubbles thingy coz it is so dark now. Will wait till tml evening when the MH is switched on.

my BB snail has resided on my zoas rock for a few days already not moving. I thought it was dead. I pick it out the other day and place it on the sand bed. seeing this topic, today I went back to check and realize it is back on the same zoa rock again. better keep a close eye on it...... worried.

soooo cute. too bad I have shell-less snail in my tank, else I would get one.

yeah, cannot find the mini red clown goby pics on the web too.

Haha I just updated my thread. Saw them but did not buy. As for price... hmmm.... I also do not understand how a purple fish can 10 times cheaper than a Helfrich. Maybe should ask Fuel to breed them.

went down to have a look at the helfriech firefish at CF today. Somehow did not feel comfortable with the condition of the fishes. fins were a bit torn and seemed to be a tag thin. So give it a pass instead. The chevron tang caught my eye too.... was really tempted but again, it seemed slightly tattered and had a couple of white spots. So both of them did not make it to my tank. Found a red clown goby - about 1 inch in size. bought it straight away. dropped it into my tank and within 5 mins, it was out of my sight already. I have not seen it since. Hopefully, it will appear again tomorrow. I have seen yellow and green clown gobies. But this huge red one is a good looker. Awaiting patiently to catch a glimpse.

In case people are wondering whats formula 1 & 2. ============================== Formula Oneâ„¢ is red and larger amounts of krill, it is produced with higher protein levels. Formula Twoâ„¢ is green and is for fish with lower protein needs. The food contains less krill, but much more Spirulina, kelp, and other natural algae. The pellet sizes are small for feeding fish from one inch long, and medium, for feeding fish four inches long or more.

thanks red. Will try to make a trip down tml.

Yup I think u are rgiht. Small tank and all other other nano tankmates are too soft. In huge tank, they will be too pre-occupied by the larger fishes. I bought a huge one. I think smaller size firefish will be less aggressive. Will swop this fella out once I get hold of a helfriech.

pls test NSW before you use them for your WC. I tested the one I got and it had rather high nitrate and phosphate.

My Purple firefish is the king in the tank. Been harassing every fish in my tank.
