jialat , I think i'm running low on pods... I see him travel quite a bit before he pecks... oh no..... how to add!

But then he has the whole TANK to himself... any other fishes eat pods in particular? wrasses? Tangs? algae blenny? my other small guy is the scooter blenny.. competition? Engineer Goby? :P

Btw, here is the link to a review of the Zeovit Coral snow product :

http://glassbox-design.com/2008/korallen-zucht-coral-snow-review/

So far after 2 dosings, it seems to be working for me. Will monitor more and let you guys know.. too short period a time to give a really conclusive review.

:)

Cheers, ;)

basket.... I don't look at this thread for a couple of hours and it becomes how to steal my tank.. zomg.. LOL

anyway.... I will confirm that the Zerovit Coral snow has cleared up the the brown stuff ( biotoms or whatever heck la) from my sand... :P My sand is nice and clean now when a couple of days ago one entire area was brown. :P Used it again tonight and it cleared up within 45mins.. didn't stay cloudy for long.. good stuff! will start using it weekly after the next water change this sat. :)

Went to GO dispite the RAIN and got a lovely true octo, a torch and a small blasto to try one more time as my other 2 blastos just withered away. :(

WOW!!!...gonna get my hands on ZEOVIT CORAL SNOW MOUNTAIN formula...i tot this is coral food?...din know can help to clean sand bed...thumbs upz...

blastos need to place them on very low flow area...

I think many fish generally love pods. My entire tank goes after my arctipods. And once i put a chromis into a pod infested tank for 30 minutes... it decimated the population and the pods have not recovered since....

You need lots of pods for mandarins

Yeah, confirmed that.

All my fish eat pods.

Anyway, I got 3 mandarins at the moment;

1 is getting skinnier; managed to catch it yesterday night.

Put it on betta box; now trying very hard to get him starts feeding.

(-_-) Happy will do ... (o_o)

its nudi, try to qt ur zoas for now.

starve them to death.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Oh I dipped the BIG BIG rock in Coral RX for about 15-20 mins before I put into the tank... I"d monitor the zoos and see how it goes.. every now and then I do see my 6 line and yellow wrasse nipping at the zoos.. maybe they are eating nudis.. who knows.. :P

anyway, maybe NEXT week's water change I'd dip ALL the zoos.. none of them are epoxyed so can be easlily removed and DIP DIP DIP DIP!!!!

And lemon, what did you buy today from RB? :P

Cheers, ;)
