Giantbicycle, I finally encounter the problem you are facing. I have 1 cuke which is eating well for mths. So I introduce another cuke. This new cuke appear to stay on top of tank all the time after few days. So either it will slowly adapt to the environment, or it will starve to death soon. My observation is that when you buy a cuke from LFs, never choose those sticking on top of glass, choose those on sandbed. This apply to me as the 1st cuke was on sandbed, the new cuke sticking on glass.

I keep Sohal, Purple, Yellow, Naso together too. All fine. Except Powderblue now still struggling from Ich.

What fish are you keeping? I challenge myself by keeping a powderblue surgeon in a small tank. - changed water and running with filter to ensure good water movement - use fan to keep the temperature cooler - use UV, even on 24hr to desperately kill all bacteria - added waterlife octazin - freshwater dip - feed brineshrimp soaked with garlic guard, fish is eating My conclusion, still cannot get rid of the ich. The ich will go away after 2-3 days, in which it will come back again the next day. Luckily I didn't put the fish in main tank. So good luck to you if you are keeping the ich magnet fish.

1 mth.. mine finally missing already after starve since day 1

Bernard, I really wonder if you cycle has completed. In just 3 weeks and your No3 is already 0. Did you do a major water change to make it 0?

Can anyone confirm this statement. I thought it's the other way? IMO. 250W MH for Max and 150W MH for Crocea.

What is gone is gone... Have you log a police case?

I also bought 1 a mth+ ago to "test water" cause I saw 1 pc with little bump on head, just like louhan.. BTW.. it really shy and hide between rocks until hardly can see it. Have never see it bite a single food since day1. Most of the time the food will be finished by tangs. But I don't see it getting thinner leh.. strange..

Kee. I have a refugium side by side to my sump.. a pump will draw water from the sump to the refugium.. and the water will flow back to the sump through a hole at the top of refugium.. So you don't need to bother much about controlling the flowrate, as long as the hole size can cope with the water flow in.. So far running for 6mths. No problem at all.

Sound more like buying seafood..

So is this the real peppermint that I saw in PR? There are lots more http://www.korallenriff.de/lexikon/l_rathbunae.html This website in UK even put this camel like shrimp as peppermint http://www.reefkeeper.co.uk/pages/peppermintshrimps.htm

I bought 1 too.. looks cute.. will meditate in the middle of the night when all lights off.. standing on LR close to water surface and looking at the LED bluelight only .. But the next day missing already...must have become my hawkfish supper already. Bought a big camel later.. also eaten alrady. Funny thing is that my 2 cleaner and 1 fireshrimp are doing fine.

If you happen to come across from TV the process of how luncheon meat is made,, you dare not eat already. I use to eat it in my carteen, then I stop already.. imagine dead pig..

I seem someone using 2x250w MH for a 3ft without chiller... using those strong fan. Those fan that we see in shopping center.. that keep a balloon floating in the air those type

Will i be tax for bring in such pump? If really that cheap.. then i will consider MD70 too.. ANybody know the price in HK for MD70?

HI seamonkee, Do you happen to see seaweed or sea luttuce? I wanna get some for my tangs.. Heard Sentosa got lots of tubeworm, do you see?

Orh... so this humble 'Snr Reefer' stay in Punggol right, one who almost never change water right.. I salute him too.. got many good advise from him.

Just multiply loh. 250w x 8hr x 30days = 60KW. So around 10 bucks.

How come the cyano is green color? You will love ur cuke next time if it's eating on sandbed. Sparkling clean..

Hi Rockfish, Wet/Dry system already an old matter whereby part of the bioballs are soak above water and part underwater. Think many reefer do not adopt this matter anymore.

China is really a con city man.. Even the local ppl are already so scare. To con and being conned is part of their life already.. Heard that the "Dong Chung Chau" inside contain wire rod. Never buy the chinese medicine too. The good stuffs are already exported.

Just want to share something ...a new way to fold clothes.. Chiyo_Clothing.zip

RYZ, You don't have to feel bad about what Flamer said. He is there to flame ppl CHEAPO all this while. I wonder why a Flamer still remain a CHEAPO. Even wanted to make sarcastic remark like borrowing chiller..

Oops.. sorry.. i miss out the return hose to sump from refugium..

Hey.. same idea .. I also planning too. Draft out the plan here. Pls comment.
