[weileong]

Another one I considering.

See the photos from the net always showing them with SPS in the background, they are SPS predator so stricty no no for reef tank unless you have a very large SPS tank

This one cannot live without eating sps lah. They will die soon. They need sps polpys to feed on.

Possible to get them on prepared food one.

Oh ya your reef should be big enough to house one. Want to try or not?

Time to do the big thing, when you free?

Step two of my project BB - removal of egg crate.

Currently curing the new LR. Kindly donated from one kind reefer.

Zeolith in used to prevent ammonia built up.

Planning to cure/cook for about 2 months.

[blueheaven]

Heard that LR curing is best to add some phyto to generate those zooplankton and life in those rocks

[weileong]

Nevermind... if no life in it. As long as don't leach nutrients I am happy

[hamannbmw]

bro, why nv cover up the tub.. since u r cooking. I though no light should penetrate into the tub

[hotlemond]

weileong,

do you plan to put a skimmer in when cooking them?

ya, you need to cover them pitch black.

[Reefaholic]

Not only cover the tub lah.

Since cooking must have cooking style mah.

Why not put a heater below and boil it? It will be much effective in removing all nutrient and unwanted pests.

lol... u wanna add some seasoning

[weileong]

The zeoliths should absorb any ammonia form so that's why I am not adding in a skimmer.

Reason why no black cover is because this tub is in the room and the room is dark most of the time

[hotlemond]

the other time when i was doing it, I have noticed film of protiens on the surface, thats why I threw a skimmer in. It pull out tons of disgusting stuff.

I am Nuts with the zeo stuff. I suppose it will work well too.

Looks like we will be seeing you picking up alot of marine salt at the LFS.

good luck with the experiment

[weileong]

Water change for the tub will be done weekly with waste water from my reef during water changes.

i tot to cook rocks should use freshly made salt water with NO3 and PO4???? but then guess even your waste water is low in those parameters.....

[weileong]

Yes my waste water has undetectable PO4 and NO3.

For purpose of cooking should be fine. Actually the process is more like curing it rather than cooking.
