you must plug off, not only switch off. Best plug in one by one direct to test where is the fault comes from. Usually I dont use test pen as test pen only detects above 80Vac and test pen dont detect current but detects voltage. Small voltage like telephone line still can shock you and still not detected by test pen. I usually use multimeter to be safer.

If you have good experience with tangs, it should be OK.

funny, last week I had finished my copper. went there and just ask the aunty, copper liquid and she showed me the bottle. She also taken out another big bottle. The brand is Mardel. Seems she prefer this brand and my preference too. I think she is attracted to you, cant concentrate what you said, LOL.

LR is to house anaerobics bac. which reduce NO3. More LR means more home to these bacs.

So sorry, my english is no as good as yours. Seems your questions can be found easily across the internet. I read from there and they are in English too. After reading there, I dont ask such questions.

I agree with ailment mopiko. Seems you progressed a lot.

Why dont you post "Maldives Carpet Anemone", "Rare Hawaiian Carpet Anemone" or Triple White Carpet Anemone" I noticed such names sells better, LOL.

It wont work, you will have nightmares. Before coming to this hobby please check on internet about this hobby and requirements.

Yes there is. Those kelong is the best, no need change water.

Answers: 1) Quarantine is best having a bare tank just with a pump. Some ppl prefer to have a skimmer but I dont see its necessary. It dont need to be cycle for so long as there is nothing there. But must ensure salt are disolved and no chlorine. Chlorine will be gone after 24 hrs in Singapore. 2) Some ppl prefers hypo salinity below 1.009. If I dose copper, I would prefer 1.019 to 1.020 which I see no point of hypo salinity which copper will do the job. Hypo salinity is hard to control on pH level and required a lot of time spent on monitoring. The best additive so far is copper. Dont mix 2 additives because some will cause chemistry imbalance when used together. One effective additive like copper should be enough. 3) You always go to that Clementi shop, just tell them copper liquid and the lady boss will hand you a bottle. But of course she expect you to pay, LOL. Bonus answers: 4) To my experience, 2 fishes/50 liters tank is the most stable state for quarantine. You dont need to change water for 2 months. Some reefers prefer to use smaller tanks and always change water. I hate wasting time changing water and waste time on checking the new water parameters. 5) If you use copper, 31 days should be enough for the quarantine process provided, must see if the fish still has any signs of itch. I usually kiasu, quarantine for about 60 days. 6) To my experience, aeration will enhance water stability and fishes will be less stress. 7) Dont overfeed until too much food left. This will cause ammonia surge when you have no LR. Best feed 2 times/day so the fishes during quarantine stress will be more healthy to battle any further diseases. Some ppl soaked garlic to the food but there is yet no scientific proof that fishes will benefit. But kiasu is better. 8) Always maintain an extra tank at home for emergency or for other purposes. Most reefers at home has couple of tanks which is different from freshwater hobby. 9) Always read the internet on those professional websites for infos. They will benefit you more.

Dont feel guilty. These majano should feel guilty themselves, LOL. 7 yrs ago I killed a bunch. The LFS still told me he sells them. But since I take the LR in big quanttity, he dont mind. I just peel them off the LR, no regrowth like aipstasia.

Now I realized you are the one who came by and bought 3kg of LR today. You had seen my quarantine tank and tangs in there. So I had explained to you too . All of these ideas are the same from everyone. We absorb the infos from internet professionals. Most importantly, tangs must to be quarantined. If you dont do it, the risk is damn huge. You can refer and see almost every week ppl calling for help here about itch. These are the ppl who want short-cut and risk. So risk turned on them. On other types of fish species, as I had described too that you must judge yourself that particular fish before buying. Please get infos on the net and list down what type of fish you want to buy before buying. Most ppl ended up buying the wrong fish which later they want to get rid. Some ppl will advise here when see different questions. But most wont reply when they see same questions again. So its best to check what you need on the net for more accuracy and direct answers.

BTW, just to add. If you want tangs, do quarantine. If not, risk is yours. The professional websites also emphasized on quarantine, why dont we?

find the internet for info if you need advise urgently. It sound like marine velvet disease or itch. Need pics to verify what is your problem. What help you need? Need help to get rid of the fish?

you are using internal termostat so this is the way. If using external termostat, that means either termostat or controller is having problem.

You can find these infos all over the web. Please refer there. Not to be mean, but every fortnight ppl kept asking this question. It depends on every individual what they want to do.

Dont worry too much. Its OK

copper,..... you cannot trust all these copper,... because they kill your corals and stain your rocks. If you dont care of LR and have no corals, you can do this. best way is to take out all the fish and qurantine with hypo or copper. hypo salinity means 1.0109 and below. Please read the forum as we posted how to get rid of itch. You can get bunch of infos in the net which are more professional.

getting rid of majano need no juice. Just dig out and throw. Just make sure all the leftovers by the majano are cleaned. Bro, if you really want a nice host for your clowns, try anemone but they will stroll around as though the tank is a garden. You can use torch, bubble,..... to be the host too.

no offence, but seems he embarassed himself with rudeness. A friend of mine intended to buy but since this kinda attitude, he was shocked.

a reefer just came by and took few kgs small lr. still have about 20kgs.

yeah, thats what I sms him. but my seahorses had heavy meals but didnt do that. I will be scared too if see this

yes, after cycling for many months, the bac will start to grow. but very slow. you will face slime algae,..... many problems.
