LoL....serious? There are seriously alot left, doubt he can clear out all of them....

[Qxnviolet]

My 2 electric hermits...need your help people! Any idea if they clear off my coralline algae? Notice some white patches around....will turbo snails do that too?

[Qxnviolet]

TadAAaAa

[Qxnviolet]

My coco(the one on the left) kept spewing out some white stuff for a couple of seconds....any idea what happened? Releasing eggs/sperm or something?

[Qxnviolet]

Simple Kalk dripper....anyone drips Kalkwasser at night? I need some advice on what time to start and stop dripping and the recommanded driprate....thanks in adv!~

[dkk08]

think I've said it before... its unbelieveable to use only a cannister and a prizm skimmer and without a sump for ur tank... truly an inspiration

[godzillaliu88]

wad kind of hang on filter ya using?

[Melvyn Tan]

Nice gentle sloping tank ! You might want to consider stocking up more slowly....good for your wallet and overall longevity of the stocks.

A good balanced tank.

I did a similar DIY dripper for Kalk too.

A drip throughout the day though, roughly abt 1 drop every 2-3seconds is enuff for LPS la.

Some people i know drip only at night when the lights are off. many different ways to go ard doing it.

Ur tank is looking great. I've taken an interest in royal gamma recently.

Can check with U :

How is its char ? (shy, extro, bully, ect.....)

Does it co-exist well ?

Fussy in food ?

U have quite a variety of tubies as well ah.

Also Q. regarding the tube worms :

Any tank mates picking/ pecking on them ?

(i've seen my cleaner ripping the other casing b4)

Are caring for coco worms the same as tube worms?

Pai se ask so much.

Ps : I see your sea fan, I lau cui nua .....

I only seen this colour once & condition not too gd

so i never buy.

dkk08...thanks for your compliments....my tank isnt really that great compared with all the seniors out there, still got much to learn.

godzilla...im using a RENA cannister filter, if you are referring to the piece of hang on equipment at the left hand side of the tank, thats my prizm skimmer. Hope to upgrade it to a deltec soon..

Melvyn...roger that....will take note. Thanks for passing by@~

Travy, thanks for the reply to my kalk dripping question....i'll try to do it constantly...sometimes lazy...

Maxstar, mine is a brazillian gramma...according to many reefers, a RG looks nicer. Its a very cute fish with lots of character....never seen it harass any other fishes. Hrmz, tubes and cocos are about the same to me, don't require any special care. My butterfly fish did peck on the tubes before and i think it killed one. Stop keeping butterflies since then.

Qxnviolet... I'm gonna get a RG once my tank is ready! I like the colour combi.

Is the sun coral (the yellow orange one) hard to keep? I heard they only open nicely when the light is not too strong. Is it true?

Nah, they are not hard.....not compulsory to target feed them too....will only do it if i have the time..

Heard they won't open when the light is too strong, but i do not have strong lights so its ok. Since you are using MH, i guess an area with abit of shade will be good if you decide to get them.

[jervismun]

I will definitely get one of them (when my tank is ready)... the colour is so sunny and bright! Surely brightens my tank overall colouration. Nice choice of corals you have there

[colinsoon]

bro. i got similar suns to you, you think if i could t-loan some space in your tank for my suns, to see if they open? cos i see them lidat very sad...

[Qxnviolet]

Hrmz....colin...have you tried target feeding them? Might help....

[colinsoon]

i tried, it just swells up mighty big, but dun wan open. think its locked. cos i got yellow suns, and they open up like every 2 hours and refuse to close... when i feed brine they also open, its just the red suns la.. headache....

[Qxnviolet]

Hrmz, maybe you can try shift it to a spot where there is less light or something? Might work. Heard they don't like strong currents too?
