Hi guys,

lemme share my experience with diatoms and cyano... I read in RC (Reef Central) that some guys actually adopts this theory whereby there'll be total darkness for 2-4 days in a month for their tank. This actually get rids of unwanted diatoms and cyano. I've tried that in surely in 1 day the cyano in my tank disappeared.

Of coz it also depends on ur feeding regime... u guys can try it if u want, but results do varies

here's the link to no lights for 3 days method from RC

dkk08 > Sound feasible and can give it a try one of this days. Good sharing!

The elephant ears ad 3 pcs of Haliofungia are from GO, the elephant ears and pink tip haliofungia are the latest add-on.

I must say the Tunze Nano 9002 is a good skimmer for a small tank.

Hi

The three BTAs look really happy. Nice to see the bubble tips on them. They dont look like theyve moved around much too. Looking good.

I must admit, however, the one small BTA on the left looks a bit retarded, lol. Never quite seen one like that!

The greenish based fluffy mushrooms look like Rhodactis (possibly indosinensis) while the bigger ones are (Amplexidiscus sp.).

The latter has been known to ingest clowns that try to host in them. Only something i have read, havent had enough money to try it myself.

The other clowns look like theyve been bullied out of the picture

chk out the colourful Picaso, aka Humu Humu.

Exiled > It's really Elephant ears, maybe when they puff up, I 'll take some pic again. The other clowns are now hosting the 2 crispa. This two days, the big maroon keep disturbing the crispa, sweeping them here and there.

Hi

I'm not gonna try that. Caused my H. magnifica to move around SO much the last time the light bulb blew and couldnt change it for 18hours. Bleached and stung corals, not good.

the other halio. The 3 BTAs on the left are really small ones.

Hi

Sorry, edited the post after i saw the pic properly. Thought you were referring to the greenish purple things as elephant ears. I was mistaken.

How big were the bigger BTAs that you bought for $8? Do they come in larger sizes too?

[Nitro]

A close up of the elephant ears.

[Nitro]

check out it stripes... like tiger's stripes like that. A very good buy from GO.

[Nitro]

Here's the pink tip one.

[Nitro]

U've seen the green tip, the pink tip and now here's a yellow tip

[Nitro]

All 3 plates are from GO at good price

[exiled_infidel]

Hi

Any update pics of the crispas? No offense but i dont think theyll make it unless they colour up soon. Are the maroons still blowing them around? Are they eating?

[Bio528]

nice plate! especially the 1st pic

[Nitro]

Bio528 > thank you, thank you

Hi

Just curious, what are your nitrate levels? Is the nano-skimmer working well?

How much does one of those cost in Sg?

[Nitro]

Ha, I dun test water perimeters, am a very lazy hobbiest but I do frequent water chg and cleaning of tank to make sure all are ok.

Nano 9002 is $190. Considered good for a skimmer of it's size.

Exiled > both crispa still surviving but are positioned in such a way that make photo taking difficult. Will try to post once I got an update.

This week, juz did a partial water change again, so far all doing good. Except for one anemone that looks like melt away but not really cuz it still puffs up and now thinking back... it might be splitting but I've throw it away as I'm really not sure if it's splitting or melting away.
