jervismun Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 wow ... tt plate is damm nice ! bro .. wanna ask you ... is LW easy to keep ? Well... extracted from Liveaquaria.com "The Blue Star Leopard Wrasse is difficult to keep because of its eating habits, relying on small invertebrates (foraminiferans and amphipods). When first introduced into the aquarium, live saltwater feeder shrimp should be used to entice this fish to eat. It needs a 50 gallon or larger aquarium with well established live rock. It also requires a layer of live sand, with other peaceful tank mates. They will do best when introduced in groups of three or more." For my case, perhaps I was lucky... it stayed hidden beneath the sand bed for 2 weeks... then came out and eat like a pig... basically everything under the sun (err... T5)... once it is trained to take pellets... this fish is as hardy as any other wrasses... Some other bros were less lucky than me... theirs perished after a week or so... so really depends on your luck lor Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jervismun Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 It's time to reveal something really "alien"... I think it's some sorta snail but it only comes out at night... it's shell doesn't look like normal hard shell to me... in fact it looks like white sponge... any idea what this is?

jervismun Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 A bro offering me this piece of TOY in exchange of my Tunze 6100 + Singlecontroller... what you guys think? I've heard a number of benefits running Ozone but also learned that overdosing can be highly toxic to the tank inhibitants... I think my Aquatronica Redox Controller will come in handy... any bro out there with real-life experience? And is the swopping worth, considering his unit is more than 1 year old (is it more difficult to maintain after certain period of time?) Here's an extract from AM Website: Aqua Medic Ozone Generator 500 The injection of ozone into the water can improve the efficiency of protein skimming and raises the ORP (Redox potential). The decomposition of toxic nitrite is enhanced whilst the bacteria count in the water decreases, minimising the risk of ill health in the animals. The compounds that produce yellow colouring in the aquarium are broken down and the water stays cristal clear. The ozone generators in the Ozone – series utilise the latest low voltage technology for safety and reliability.
