Thats what i got too. Its harmless, just leave it alone. it should be fine, unless you find it an eyesore.

hahahaha... tomorrow maybe? i am seeing if i can make my way to north shore. I wanna check out the local kite-surfing scene. something i want to do all along, but mediumly illegal in singapore. Anyone else kite-surf here? also wanna check out the local surfing. manage to catch some cute little surfing in waikiki. fathering teaching son to surf here. cute, huh?

You say leh? your hot gfren beside you. One guy come and take photo of her. What will you do? I want to make it out of Hawaii. ALIVE. Here is another one.

Another one with bfren beside her. heehee.

I may not be right, and also they might not be right. My experience is that I had alot of these sponges growing in these dark corners of my tank, and it stayed there, never really killed my fishes or my corals. It just stays there. Maybe a pic can get a more accurate sponge. althou you said it is a sponge, you might mis-id it. Just a thought.

This close?

oh look!!! THE SEA. anti-climax, right? hahahaha....

closer...

Nobody??? Are you sure??? Can you see clearly?

As we get closer.... who wants to see more???

Who wants to see more of waikiki beach??

Doesn't really matter in cycling stage. you are also going to let the water sit there for a month at least. People usually aerate a pail of tap water overnight to let the chlorine 'disappear' by its own. Bad smell when cycling is normal. As i said, you will be leaving everything in your tank for one month at least, whatever fungus or nonsense should be good in your tank. You want things in your tank to decay to kick off the NO cycle. If you added carbon to your first batch of LRs, the smell would probably have cleared too. Sponges on LRs are normal. Leave them alone. Bad smell is good. Bad smell = decay. decaying stuff = kicking off NO cycle. NO2 high is normal. Pls read up more on the NO cycle. Read the pinned threads in this noobie sub-forum. You will understand more. Bacteria gunk is always nonsense to me. Try not to add too much formulated nonsense in your tank. That is what I believe in. Normal. you will be doing that alot in your reefing career. Pls read up more so that you will get more knowledge. Ask around if you have read and still can't find the answer you want. You can always google whatever you want to know, but remember to read more sources of information and choose which one you think is best. The knowledge in the internet is alot, but remember to every question there are more than one answer and not all of them are right!

kudos for attempting such a DIY. But i think as to how many ways of value will very much depend on how many "ports" you want your tank to have right? Almost same as asking "how many powerheads should i be putting in my tank"? Catch my drift?

Personal experience, I think they are quite harmless. Only grows in those corners where they are poor flows or alot of decaying... NO3 plentiful... Shoud be ok if you leave them alone. Adds texture to the LRs.

How long has your dartfish been in the tank with your dottyback? Doesn't your firefish attempted suicide being bullied by the dottyback?

Really don't understand. What does how I look llike got to do with liking me? You choosing Husband or wife ah? If you must know, I am a damn gorgeous animal. Picture of myself attached.

Even this? I abit regret that I posted that. Some friends already tell me to tahan and don't touch certain topics. But I just burst out. Could not stand the state of SRC.

wil_lee76... I will try to take more pics. But I actually will be very busy from tomorrow. Even on Sunday. I got alot of nonsense to clear. Or not will not even fly to here to far away. I am Owners Representative for Shipping Company. Actually packet mountain packet sea. Everything also do. Sales, admin, PR, a bit of operations, abit of logistics. Basically, the islands is my baby. weileong... no happening leh. Tired la. Got alot of work to clear also. 379 mails to clear. Why am I here? dumdum... business trip... not holiday... got time go club flamingo, but no time go pearl harbour. watch that stupid movie more than enough already.

If tank reserved? what about the sump? got a pic?

It is literal meaning. If it is hard when you touch it. It is hard coral. If it is soft when you touch it. It is soft coral. Something like anemone. Post a pic, then we see, then we tell you, then we explain to you, then you know already loh.

kow... i innocent young boy leh.... don't pollute me like that. Quite chilly here leh.. 21 degree celcius... wierd with my impression of hawaii. I at Ilikai. Waikiki beach... See all there chio bu bikini... very inspiring.... Feeling very inspired again. wait ah... go toilet...

Actually got Dole Plantation here... Nuts huh? for those who do not know Dole. They are direct competitors with Del-Monte in fruits. Just got all my standard items... And check out the fridge! Huge.

And the most BIGGEST AND RIDICULOUS fruit basket I have ever gotten. This was a gift from a partner company here in Honolulu. Really appreciate it, but it is HUGE! even got pineapple loh.... win liao loh....

Compared to my previous work station in Guam in my Agent's office.

Aloha! Went to find myself some Tiki Gods when reached Honolulu. What gives? Saying I am all sticky and nutty? My flight here was terrible. Sure, I got a Japanese chick seating next to me, but I got two fricking old folks sitting front and back of me. The one in front like to play with seat. Up and down, up and down. Best part is when Air stewardess say seat upright during take off. She immediately recline her seat to the fullest. KOW! Then the old chap behind me, keep shaking my seat. What gives? Hai... Managed to finally get some sleep after waiting 3 hours in the lobby for an available room. This is my workstation here in Honolulu. Since the company does not have an agent or branch here, I am working out of my hotel room!
