It's been a while since I've updated my nano thread. The first Helfrinchi I introduced did not survive the battle scars from the Decora. I sold off the Decora and bought another Helfrinchi - a pair. Sadly, one of the pair did not survive through acclimatisation so only leaving 1. The yasha goby and shrimp also disappeared. I can't find their bodies even in a small tank. The livestock in the tank to date are: 1 Helfrinchi, 2 neon gobies, 1 blue stripe pipefishes, 1 Astrea snail. My zoa rock is almost full. Added a blue squammy which is the most expensive item in the tank currently. Strangely, I did not encounter any algae or diatom problems. This is now my 3rd month. My husbandary for this tank is as follows: I'm doing weekly water change (using water from my sps tank), dosing bacteria and carbon source as per instructions. I have my par38 on for 6 hrs shinning on the zoa rock. Fishes are introduced slowly into the tank. zoa rock Blue Squamosa brought in by Fuel

Hi. I have some BBS eggs for sale. I have just open the tin and placed them in the fridge. Per container @ $18 as seen in pic. Self collect at Depot Rd, FCFS. Once hatched, you can feed to small fishes like gobies, fire fishes, pipefishes etc. Hatching them is easy. There are instructional videos from Youtube to refer. Sms me at 81117171.

Sorry, missed out "to donate" in the reply

You can contact Gouldian if you wish your equipment to MASS who conducts educational talks to schools. Tks.

I bought 1 neon goby and 2 yellow lined and placed them in a betta box. One of the yellow lined was chased by the other yellow lined so I separated them and sold 1 away. Leaving 1 neon and yellow lined. They co-existed fine in the betta box but when I let them out into the tank, the neon started chasing the yellow lined. However, I think a bit of chasing is fine if there is enough room in the tank. As long as none show stress colors and torn fins, I left them alone. I intend to add shark nose gobies as well.

Sold. Thread closed.

just bought 3 from lck but 1 of them get bullied so have to sell off. Bought at $20 so selling at the same price. Collect at depot rd. u can SMS / whatsapp me at 81117171. You can google for pics.

James, no, this model is only connected to 1x10k needlewheel pump which i feel is sufficient. The next model up is connected with 2 pumps.

Took the chance by changing to this external i102 Reeflive skimmer. Powered by Waveline DC10000 needle wheel pump. Skimmer in action.

Added on a small Helfrinchi but once I let i out into the tank, it had battle scars from the aggression of the purple Decora. I hope it will be able to recover. 2 days back, saw my Yasha goby swimming out into the open but today, it's gone missing. I was not able to find it's body even after removing the rocks while netting out the Decora.

Added on a small reeflive skimmer and finally the Diablo 3500 DC pump arrived. This is the smallest in-sump model of the reeflive skimmer. Using the Diablo 3500 as my return pump

Size: 20cm (L) x 11.5cm (W) x 15cm (H) Selling for $30 (fixed). Mounted on tank's bracing. Collection at Depot Rd.

Could not co-exist with my Helfrinchi so have to sell it away - $20. Feeding on pallets. Collection at Depot Rd. sms or what app me at 81117171 to arrange.

Good to see you back in action

Sherman, Should be the same lights with different camera app using my iPhone

Time for some updates. I am trying out Fauna Marin stuff. This is my 2nd week so still too early to comment. However, I do see increased PE and enhanced in blue colour. Some micro shots. Pink Bird nest species (without and with lights) Blue Millis Blue Tenuis Galaxy Monti cap. Baby blue Digi & light purple monti cap. frag True Fibre Optic Pocci Digitata corner on the right End my Mar 2013 log with a FTS

Have a few updates to add to my log. Bought 2 mini carpets from LCK. 1 was an injured blue and the other was a mixure of colours. Unfortunately, I was not able to heal the injured blue carpet. These were the steps taken to let the carpet attach to where I want it. 1. Let it attach itself onto a frag plug in a separate container without any flow 2. Once it has attached itself, insert the plug into a netting pocket to prevent it from roaming around 3. Placed the netting pocket into the tank where I want to place and let it get use to the tank's salinity and temp 4. Remove the netting and place the plug with the mini carpet attached next to a LR 5. The mini carpet will soon dis-attach itself from the plug and attach itself to the LR where you place it. Here are the pics. I am not running my skimmer yet so relying on bi-weekly water change, chaeto, and UAS for nutrient export. I am experimenting on the UAS, using a single red LED light source. No algae yet as it's only in the initial stage. Added some zoathids and released my Yasha goby and decora fire fish from the betta box. Kept the 2 fishes in the beta boxes to 1.5 weeks so as to train them to eat pallets. Once released, they continued to feed on pallets . Ending my log with a FTS dated 16 Mar 13. LS to date are 2 fishes, zoas, mini anemone, pistol shrimp, astrea snail. I transferred the right rock to my 3ft tank.

James, too big a hat to fill. Lol. Just a simple nano to keep the fishes I've always wanted to keep so that they can been seen swimming out in the open.

Hi. I'm interested to trade this light with my birdnest frags (Pink and yellow). pm me know if you are keen.

That's a gamble that I have to take. I have read from others experiences that they have introduced the same species without any problems. Encouraged for more than 40g tanks. Will take the below precautions to mininimize aggression: 1. Introduce decora species first as it's more timid than helfrichi 2. Choose a smaller size helfrichi 3. Float the helfrinchi in a beta box first and introduce slowly to see if there is any aggression

The yasha goby was from ah bac at 161 neo tiew rd and the pistol shrimp was from cf but you can get both from cf as well. The yasha from ah bac is a high fin one whereas cf's yasha has shorter dorsal fin

Just added a yasha goby, pistol shrimp, and Nemateleotris Decora. I have not let in out from the betta box yet as I hope to train it to eat pallets. The Decora is responding to pallets. Spotted small size helfrinchi as well so after 2 weeks, if still there, I will probably get it to add into the tank. Fish list for this tank: Yasha goby with pistol shrimp Decora dart fish Helfrinchi dart fish Janss pipe fish Chaoti or splendid leopard wrasse (small size) Neon gobies (yellow stripes) Soft corals: Zoas Florida rics Here's a pic of the sump with the compressor coil and a pic with the par 38 attached.

Recently, as I started a 60 gal (include sump) tank, I decided to set-up a compressor unit to chill both tanks. Each tank has it's own thermostat. My 120 gal tank (SPS tank) is maintained at about 26 deg while my 60 gal tank (FOWLER) is maintained at about 28 deg (at the moment). Excellent job done by Dereck who installed the compressor unit. His after sales support is also excellent.
