you mandarin will deplete all the pods in your main tank in a matter of weeks.
so unless if you have a refugium or a quiet area for pods to reproduce peacefully, it is a matter of time when you run out of copepods.
70% opened.
a lot of scattered orange polyps.

wife was waiting for me outside in the car.
I basically rush in and blindly pick the rocks.
great gathering!
dinner was nice, tiramisu was even better and of course.... all those beers and wine.... yum yum.......
was really fun meeting familiar and new faces.
btw, the key takeaway from the session is that ... man can gossip equally as well too
Special thanks to Desi and Ketch for their great hospitality.
For those who was not able to make it this time.... don't fret, keep a lookout for our next gathering.....
most likely planning either a popiah makaning session or a high tea outing in early June.
You will be surprise how much heat the water pumps / wavemaker generates.
As a rule of thumb, any one of the above mentioned generally increases temp by 1 deg cel.
So it is not surprising that the temp is cooler at the surface then in the water.
I am against posting of lfs name. The purpose of this thread is to provide Newbies a gauge on the average price of a Livestock. It is not to identify which lfs is selling at the cheapest or highest price. Listing of lfs name might also provide an avenue for lfs "politics" to occur with reefers siding with their "favourite" lfs. I would strongly suggest we stick to just listing prices only. This alone should give newbies sufficient info to make their purchasing decision
