New Tank

[jervismun]

my skimmer is still the same... about the light i dunno wether is it really a 2 x 27watt leh.. the uncle dun sound convinced to mi..

What's written on the packaging/tube itself? There must be some sorta indication...

[princesseve]

it only says Pro 27Watt/Blue/6500K

[princesseve]

sorry its Pro FPL27Watt/Blue/6500K

[jervismun]

Then it's only 27W

[princesseve]

kaoz he cheated mi.. i asked for a 2 x 27watt PL tube..

[princesseve]

then is 27watt enough for my tank? the whole tank is very bright..

[jervismun]

I believe so... the tube is half white half blue right? You can try with Zoos and mushroom first... even leather once ur tank is ready

[princesseve]

they are 2 tubes connected to a 4 pin base one is white and one is blue... btw do u know how a baby anemone look like? coz i believe i got one inside my tank. i saw a plant few days ago was at this location and when i jus c it, it changed position...

[jervismun]

Anemone comes in different forms... but if it moves around... most probably anemone lor... post a pix, if a bad anemone, this is the best time to remove it

[princesseve]

i will post alot of pic on my tank tml coz my camera not at home now... i think i even saw a crab... and a plant tat look like spider web... dunno all this gd anot? tml i post.

[jacobus]

if its brown and have long tentacles it should be bad anemone ... even if its good .. dun think u wanna have such an ugly thing inside right ? haha... post a pic of the crab too ... it might be dangerous ...

[princesseve]

[princesseve]

Then wad should i do now?? It all over my LRs!!

was unable to took a pic of the crab cos its keep hiding... but i think it bad crab...

90% is hairy crab... so many pest in my tank...

pic 1 & 2 . looks like bristtle worms to me. they may harm your fish when yout fish is sleepin. the worms helps to clean your sand bad. ppl usually keep a few in the tank. overall it does no major harm.

pic3: is this AIPTASIA ANEMONE. if possible. get rid of it. if cant get rid, dont put any anemone/coral near it. it stings corals near it. if im not wrong, butterfly fishes eat aiptasia.

pic4: is this tube worm. no problem. no harm.

pic5: wat are those red colour roots. looks like red bamboo algae. it's good. leave it there.

[w3ish3ng]

get a large peppermint shrimp and put it in, i will no recommand a butterfly fish for your tank as its too small. dont get those small shrimp as they might not eat it

[godzillaliu88]

soak your rocks in tape water for 10-15min. all the crippy crawlies still start to crawl out n your rocks will be 90% clear from all those worms n crabs.

[w3ish3ng]

if you do that, the live rocks will leech out po4 for months if i am not wrong.

[godzillaliu88]

many bros do that to clean out the rubbish. i think gotta cycle the rocks.

bro jerv. give some advice...

[jervismun]

Another method is to Hyper the rocks... mix a pail of water with very high Sg... 1.028 to 1.030... soak the LR into it for 2 minutes. All the creatures will either explode or crawl out... hahaha... it works for me. I think it's better than soaking in freshwater.

[w3ish3ng]
