I would say its the typical pc fan sound. I have seen Sherman LED and it is the same or perhaps noisier.

i really think you can start looking at 2 ft cube very soon.

+1 iphone rocks!!!!!

i think it must be quite noisy too as his is same as mine - open tanks.

Don't follow me... I am nooby..!!!! I might be wrong be maybe small prate and bubble will be hard to find. bubble will have sting tentacles so they will need a large space. I am still using the old units so the fans should be noisier than yours. But my skimmer seemed to be the noisier of the 2 now. How is yours doing?

Sorry to disappoint you guys. The fish was already half dead this morning and deceased in the afternoon. Thanks for all your help though. Kinda skeptical about getting another clown now.

Sorry OT here but TS really reminds me of Peihao83. A pico version hehe Maybe should conduct a workshop for newbies who are interested in setting up a new tank. That should help them greatly. A 1 hr workshop is more effective than 5,000 posts.

grats bro. welcome to the Max-S club. so what are you planning to keep for your tank?

no worries. It has been OT loooooong ago.

lol.... by the time you complete the research, the nice clams are all gone already. I have seen other clams in nanos so should be ok. My thoughts are that yeah you need to know roughly certain things before you embark - can clams be kept in a reef tank, what do you feed, what lighting you need, what elements are crucial to them. Whereas for more detailed stuff like how to tell they are happy, are they growing etc etc, then can learn as you go. Learning is an ongoing process throughout this hobby anyway. My concern is usually not whether we are researching IN DETAIL before we buy or after. (like I mention above, you need to know in advance if it is suitable for your tank though) It is more of whether the buyer is buying on impulse, does he know the consequences or if he is dedicated enough to see that the livestock requirements are met adequately. In this particular case, whether he knows that he will need to dose liquid food, calcium on a regular basis. Just sharing my philosophy.

nice Stewp. Keep those photos coming. If you need some oyama sticker for the background, I have blue and black ones that I can spare. The other thing to note is that if you notice your tank has a layer of dust/oil on the surface of the water, then you might want to get an surface skimmer to attach to your U hose.

Dunno. Let me check with AM then come back to you. I can meet you there only during lunch time around 11:45. SMS me if ok. Stewp, dun listen to Peter. Your pico tank will not be able to sustain. You prob know this already.

They are really much much nicer if you look at it from the top.

I believe they will unless they really dislike the place. Even if they have rooted themselves there, should they decide to move one day, they might still will I think.

No prob Lorenzo.

lol grouchy old man......

Boy boy go and enjoy your trip. Buy goodies back for all the ah pek and uncle here hor....

I am using the 110W version. Thought you were talking about that. I have not even nvr seen the 160W ones. Best to leave that to Dr Evil / others to comment.

you are talking about the maxspect 160W ones?

anyone wanna share this with me don't mind trying. I am feeding DT phytoplankton every other day atm.

okay for those going to CF to get the clams. When you choose the clams from the top down look, the colour is about 20 - 30 lighter as compared when you look from the side of the tank. So a greenish blue clam that you choose at CF when viewed from your tank through the glass will look blue. An electric light blue will look blue when viewed from the tank. To choose a healthy clam, place your hand over the clam to block out some light, the clam should retract. It the edge of the shell is white and looks new, those are growth. choose the brighter coloured ones.

woke up and found my clams toppled over. I have inserted a plastic backplate behind the rock to prevent them from shooting themselves off the rock again. They have been there the last 7 hrs. Hopefully they will stay there and be happy. Gonna remove the place only 2 days later.
