New fishes: Splendid Leopard Wrasse, http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=188406'>Splendid Leopard Wrasse.jpg

The wrasse is so beautiful. How big was it when you got it and how is it doing now?

Color is kinda orangy with a tint of green on its body, its a bird of paradize frag.

The wrasse is so beautiful. How big was it when you got it and how is it doing now?

Size is around 3" and remained about the same size now but only fatter than before, it has since transformed to a male.

That's the best pic i can get of him, fast swimmer, my iphone can't capture him still enough.

Anyway my other 2 wrasses went up the lorry. Dunno why also, rest of the fishes still ok.

Got another mini wrasse, a shy one from Ah Bac 2 -3 weeks back. Thot it quite rare but was told its quite a regular fish, lol. Always swimming behind my rockswork only. :excl:

[Admiraltian]

Just gotten myself a 2nd hand radion g1 and mp40. The fan and motherboard of the radion was spoilt although it still can power up if not tune up to 100% and had to send for repair and waited nearly a month before i can get it back. Had to specially thank Spkentchai and Victor(Iwarna) for their help.

Here's some pic taken under blue lighting of my radion a few days back,

FTS taken today with radion and mp40,

4mth old 2nd hand MP40w ES,

Hope these new gadget can improve the health of my spses.

Anything to update, one of my snowcasso have strangely decided to sart hosting on my long service toadstool... :shock: :dunno:

No leh, I bought it on the spot, never make any reservations or orders. When I bought it, still have 2 left. Thot it quite rare to see these type of pygmy wrasse.

All Gems! Nice Corals. What is your tank temperature? Not many reefer managed to keep scolys with a average temperature of 26 deg.

Thanks, bros. The scolys I'm placing in low flow & light area, even so the rics nearby keep detaching from its rock. Have to glue them back, will monitor for the time being. The acan is in medium flow and light area. Hope it will stay healthy and grow big big. Plan to feed them once or twice a week.

All Gems!

Thanks for the compliments. R they suppose to keep in colder waters? I'm not sure cos I always keep them btwn 26-27degs. So far so good.

Bro Admiraltian, does your SC1455 overskim? I notice your water volume is probably less than 300L and the skimmer can support up to 1000L.

I have gotten myself a SC1455 as well, for my upcoming 2ft cube.

Yes, it's kinda a overkill for my tank size. I'm not an expert but I'll try my best to answer ur question based on what I think. I could be wrong so dun quote me, ha ha...It is stated in the user manual for best performance, ur water level in the sump where u placed ur sc1455 shd be btwn 140 & 240mm. If the water level over this, u might over skim a little but nevertheless, u could still adjust the fine bubbles level in the inner cylinder of the collection cup by adjusting using the water level adjuster, turn anti-clockwise. The water level in the cylinder of the adjuster shd go down. U shd keep the foam level btwn the bayonet & bottom of the cup or even at a lower level for drier skimmate.

For wetter skimmate, u can adjust til the foam level is nearer to the top of the riser tube of the cup by doing the opposite, turn clockwise on the water lever adjuster.

If u still find it overskimmed, check ur water level in ur sump whether if it is over 240mm, u shd try to elevate ur skimmer higher in order not to over skim. Another option is to connect to a bigger collection container using the tubing provided. Hope this helps.
