Smaller fishes are more difficult to feed compared to larger ones. What are you feeding your fishes with now? Pallets or frozen? Eh...U want to collect the henrys tomorrow or thurs afternoon?

[jackywongto]

lol we always OT other ppl's thread.... paiseh paiseh.

The G goby dun need to be fed.

They scavenge for food among the live rocks.

My purple goby, I fed pellets.

Nothing else to feed in my tank already lol.

You going to CF or JM later this week when their shipment is in?

Ha ha ha... I have a pair of firefishes, some Zoos, a plate, a prata, a fungia and a hammer coral. CUC: 2 Cleaner shrimps, 3 camel shrimp, 6 turbo snails, 5 brittle stars, 1 orange starfish, 1 abalone.

Now have one more pair of gobies.

Also some mysis shrimps and a flower crab in the fuge.....

Ammonia, Nitrite are still 0. Nitrate at 2.5 ppm.

[craftsman]

thats fast? how long u cycle?

ur skimmer pulling out alot of dirt means ur tank is still quite dirty even with min or no fishes/corals/livestock.

perhaps u shld hang on alittle further

Started from Oct 28. Close to 1 month leow. Have been dosing bacteria religiously....

nice

you forgot your sand dollar?

[zorden]

looking at his skim-mate. i will stop adding fishes into the tank. a new tank is very unstable as the bacterial may not be establish well enuff to handle the massive increase of livestock

Zorden, no more intention to add fishes until the 2nd or 3rd month. I know the tank isn't stable yet. I have some fishes left with Henry for that expressed purpose.

buying livestock back is the risk of getting dead/caught situation.

getting equipments back will face sparepart problem if u need it urgently.

thinking back,if its worth it people would have share $ and orders to bring in eqpts from hk rather then on coral or get locally.

And bringing back bulky equipment is too troublesome. And even if you can get the same equipment back here, agents will not be willing to service as they only service local sets.

btw bro your skimmate super milo gao... how come your rocks so dirty ah? Are your test kits new or old? got check expiry date? paiseh, just being thorough here just in case.

[TayHongSiang]

i'll be sleeping in the balcony if i have a tank like yours and my CO can sleep with my daughter.

Very true, guys..... I'll really be just looking around to look see, look see..... Certainly will not be bring back live stock. Bulky equipment would also be difficult lah.... I'm really going for work, so will only have some nights off to go take a look.. maybe buy back some fish food, etc..

Bro, rocks are dirty cos I realised the sun has moved quite a bit, and now the tank actually gets some direct sun. . So, the rocks have some algae. But, the skim mate is reducing leow. Also, the Turbo snails are really doing their job. Last night, I came back to really white rocks... they are simple amazing!

Test Kits are all Saliferts. All brand new. more than 1 more year to expiry. Accurate. Cross confirmed with Sera test kits....
