Hey Jacky,

Haha yeah, been travelling some. How's everyone ? And since my last update (before CNY?) of near crash, just kept my stock to recover. Few added, very basic set-up. I'll be updating my thread soon. But not much changes yet compared to you guys !

Soooooo you're upgrading huh ... wow. When's the plan ?

I have every confidence that very soon you will have many new additions to your tank...

need to wait more then 10 mins.. cos after only 10 mins. few started struggling and coming / going back into the zoas..

so i make sure i dipped longer so as everything inside will up lorry.

then i shake and wash with salt water, put in.

all the zoas have no side effect (from what i observe)..

somemore, the pic i took, is only a few, got bristle worm (small and tiny) and many other small critters didnt have chance to scoop it up)

Yes you are correct. No effect on zoas or other corals as iodine is not present.

[jackywongto]

I did take some but a bit blurry... Too many work to be done so just took minimum

Ok update. I have torn down my whole tank. Gave it a good scrub and will polish the acrylic thoroughly tml. Back to square one.

Qn: how long can the corals stay in a togoyo box?

As long as you can keep the temp below 30 degC should not be an issue, I think...

[TayHongSiang]

wow...restarting your tank huh.....i tot u will be getting former nuclear's tank from pasar malam?

[jackywongto]

As long as you can keep the temp below 30 degC should not be an issue, I think...

within 30 deg shld be ok. Using vortech, large surface area and standing fan blowing at it.

Next question: how long does it take for nudi eggs to hatch and from which day do the newly hatched nudis start to lay eggs?

[poomoon]

Can you be controlled???

umm, yeah somehow at least for now .....

[poomoon]

I am expecting dozens. My is infested due to my procastination

hope you get em all out ... i was able to extract 11 very small nudis looking like lettuce, and some flatworms ... some other critters also. that Rx Pro's really effective.

[poomoon]

yup, after soaking for 10 mins, grab the base and shake it some while still submerged. yo'd see all them critters falling out.

they can lay these egg ribbons as much as every 1-2 days, so depending on how the tank conditions and "well fed" they are, within a month or so can reach to even a hundred. hatching is within 2 weeks ... that would really be a breakout !

yeah, hope so. Actually I cannot see the nudis. I can see other worms, large pods swimming out and struggling. Will do another round of dip later in the week before I return them into the tank.
