Roidan's Reef (I)

[AlfaRomeo]

Yup , true true. maybe you will like to confirm with Gilbert if he has NETS as well as CC facilities. :-)

[terryansimon]

Gilbert has Nets. I paid for my true perc pair by nets. (=

[bwilly]

nets at CF as well as CC??

[roidan]

nets at CF as well as CC??

i think so....but always be safe..bring abit more cash when u know its going to be an LFS shopping day...hehe

[roidan]

a very bad condition black maxima ....mantles torn...hope it recovers in my tank....now putting in my 4ft tank under gentle 2x54W aquablue plus T5s at about 10 inches under the lamps...will move to the 6ft sump tomorrow...

i wonder how fast will the mantle recover

[roidan]

my skimmer today...will clean the foam tower tomorrow

[AlfaRomeo]

wow , good color of skimmate.. do you have to do a lot of fine-tuning for the skimmer?

[roidan]

not at all bro....just set the water level at the manufacturer's recommended level..tats all..hehe...

but i do noticed that the kind of foam from this skimmer is different from my weipro days....much foamier...like those washing machine foam or even better..hehe

[AlfaRomeo]

Thats excellent news bro.. cant wait to fire mine up :-)

[roidan]

just keep it to the water level as stated in the manual and everything should be fine

[ah^siao]

that's alot of foam...

haha...

[AlfaRomeo]

Another proof that we need to pay for quality and cant expect cheap products to be better or as good as expensive products :-)

[roidan]

but i used to think weipro was good enough until i saw this...the foam produced is really different category...like u say..you get what you pay....generally lah...

it may not be the best skimmer out there for sure...but i am sure it did play a part in my low low nitrates...taking out all the junk before they got a chance to turn into nitrates......even if they escape the skimer..i got my macroalgae or even to a lesser extent, clams to reduce the nitrates..hehe

[roidan]

hi guys,may i know what is Tunze?what is it use for?and where can i get it?

it is a german brand like eheim..but i believe what we are talking here are the models called stream....it is actually something like a powerhead..but instead of water outlet through a narrow path that powerhead does, the stream provides high flow, gentle conical path.....

can get it from our sponsor eaquanature.com

hate my CS.. they only eat "fresh" food these days..

never go n work on the sick fishes..

when I dropped food, they swim up n grab them as other fishes..

[roidan]

yeah..they always take the easier way out..but i did see them cleaning the fishes also when the fish swim near them....hehe

so feed just enough for the fishes to eat so that the cleaners are forced to do some work..hee

[bwilly]

my CS never work.. hide till feeding time..

then swim up to grab the food.. kinda of hate

them now.. n their r greedy buggers..

snatch food from my bubble too.. ! just killed

one CS.. recently.. damn happy.. haha..!!

more like a pest now to me..
