Hi Bro, where to get this dropper/syringe?

Steps to take to make a clown host immediately.

1. Get ready your clownfish n gonio or anemone.

( I have selected using gonio because anemone tends to move around in tank

Having a time bomb in a tank is dangerous, somemore if you are using wavemaker.)

2. A syringe/ dropper with food prepared.

3. Off your pump and get ready to feed them.

4. Put syringe in water and slowly squeese the food on top of your gonio or anemone. ( Clown fishes will brush against the coral to look food.)

As time goes by.. They will be station at this coral for food and looking into the coral if there is any food there. They will start to host then. (Preferably if you have a small tank to train them.)

[stevenchia]

madpetz or maybe some pharmacy.

[johnmariados]

Have chked at guardian and watsons, they only have the regular syringe. Will try madpetz, thanks.

Nice maxima.

[stevenchia]

Some livestock update. After 1 month, this fellow start to surface for food.. started feeding in chopped brine shrimps. Going to pump it up.. with round stomach..

[stevenchia]

Waited many months to get my ideal paired pipe fish. At last got them condition.

This a very easy pipe fish that flow will not be an issue unlike other species which need to go on low flow.

[stevenchia]

Lastly, will add this to the filtration.

Lastly, will add this to the filtration.

I like the EasyNeo Marine too. I was first introduced to this by Harlequin Mania 3 years back and have been using it since.

I used it weekly prior to water change, what EasyNeo does is precipitate dissolved organics to be skimmed or settled on sandbed, after dosing into tank, I will then siphon the settled precipitations from my tank.

I also use it when transporting sensitive fishes, I feel dosing EasyNeo increase the oxygen and also reduces stress of the fishes during transport. I have successfully transported AT, PBT and Clown Tangs using them with the fishes arriving in good condition even after several hours on route.

Thx for the tip, I will use it then.

As for my reef keeping methods u may think it sounds crazy..

I dont run any water parameter tests but only salinity check. Not even no3, po4, cal, kh or ph.

I actually using 50% salt mix DD pro with Di water for weekly change. (Only applies to same brand used on previous water change. ****Sudden change of different salt may cause shock to corals.*******

No additive added, maybe some vitamine c for zoas and calcium.

Filter media sponge will need to be washed 2-3 days.

A Skimmer is a big help of remove excess food and waste.

Athough this is not a good method. Those ppl like me who are not good in using test kits can use this method. With full determination who say u cant succeed in reefing.

And who can say a person who not know abt water parameter cant reef?

Feedings to your corals and good water quality is the key to reefing.

Phase 1, setting up.. saltwater, sand, rockscape and skimmer.

[stevenchia]

1st day setup, found my AR too big... Need spend some time cutting down the size, lucky it was a minor touch up. Spent a few hrs looking at the scape and do the rework.. while others pouring in the sand.. I was still struggling with my scape..

Finally it came to an end..

[stevenchia]

I had to cut both sides and do the rework.. Kind of tedious doing on the spot..

And thanks to my buddy peong got me a mating pair of startfish.

[linko]

That's Cool Bro.

Good Luck to you

[stevenchia]

Thanks.. theres alot of nice stuff down here.. Better come down to see.

[Admiraltian]

Wah, I'm excited already! But I can only be there on sat.

[klim]

I am eager to see the final setup of mini reef. It must be eye opener with all the miniature gold.

[stevenchia]

Guys dont put so much hope.. I may let u guys down.. I may come out with 2 big isopods crawling in my tank..
