Not entirely true. It is true that slime grows at dead spots more but that is because your nutrient level is high. If you know, red slime is a kind of aerobic bacteria. i think its duty is related to

If u can find pet mover, facing the road pet mover is on the right ah beng is on the left. Ah beng is about 300m away from pet mover. Ah beng is together with another aunt store.

I think I have been there to browse before but did not know that is "Ah Beng". When you enter I believe you see the display tank on your left and packing/cash counter on your right. Corals left, fishes right.

Yep thats correct :)

For ur rbta, prawns in small pieces would do. U can see the mouth of the rbta? No bigger than tht. But as its a new addition, let it settle down first. If it doesnt take food when u try like what u said, try again in a few days time.

Okay, will try to find salt water prawns in the market. Tried mysis just now. I think it is eating but my sixline is stealing from it. Any idea how to stop that sixline?

Just to update, I have taken the advise to replace 2 skimmer with 1 bigger skimmer and removed the cannister filter. Picture of my revamped sump. attachicon.gifhttp://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=199766'>SumpRevamp.png
Once your tank matures, u can remove ur canister. Use minimum filter as the rest will be pickup by ur skimmer. More live rocks will encourage more bacteria and hence filters will not be needed much. U can try place more liverocks in ur sump if possible. IMO.

Tank Theme: Mixed Reef with clams

3 feet tank with IOS

Eheim 1262

K3 wavemaker x1

Lightings: T5 actinic blue x4 , T5 white x4

Skimmer: BMQQ

Artica 1/5

Dosing: NA

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.
