What happened? U sure it's dead and not "disappear" as they love to burrow and hide in sand.

Hey digibee, read tt you are using eheim 1000 to power your chiller. Yours is a 1/10hp right? If it is, I think it's way too underpowered for your Arctica. How long does it take to chill your tank?

Sorry for your loss bro.

sometimes, some fishes just cannot make it regardless of tank conditions.

it was hiding but came out yesterday morning lying flat and breathless so i put it in the betta box. By afternoon, it has gone in peace. :cry:

Hi, bought this fish last weekend; I thought it is a hawkfish; but it is not.

Geometric Pigmy Basslet (Plectranthias inermis)

post-16860-1265121723_thumb.png

Some write up about this fish:

"The Geometric Flame Basslet, sometimes referred to as a hawkfish, is rare and recent in the aquarium trade.

It is white with bright red blotches. It may bother small crabs shrimp and crustaceans, but is otherwise reef safe.

Its small size makes it ideal for nano or species tanks. Hawkfish will feed on small meaty foods such as

plankton or fortified brine shrimp. They are reef safe."

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

:rolleyes: Nice piece...not rare as they do come in quite often especially over at Ah Beng or CF.

CF usually stock less than 1 inch sizes. Do watch out for ya Sexy or Anemone Shrimps though if U happen to keep them in ya tanky.

Yeah, not rare here.

The write up is from a US website :rolleyes:

I think it is rare there.

We are quite fortunate in terms of marine hobby; I guessed.

Hi, I have a question,

can you epoxy or superglue zoas with no rocks onto the rocks?

If can, how? Safest method.

Because I have 2 zoas with no rocks; and they were often blown off by the wavemaker.

Thanks!

would suggest you to superglue the zoas to small rock base to add on to the weight of the zoas so that it will not be blown away... then after if you want, can epoxy the small base to your LR..

So far, most reefers i know suggest don't epoxy corals to rocks as later you have problem removing it.. i suggest you place it away from your wavebox..

I see, ok thanks!

But sometimes, it is toppled off by fish/snails too.

Those large coral chips will do nicely too.

can cut the chip to shorter length if the elongated shape is an eyesore.

I kept the ones in your 2026 previously :)

can pass you some if you need them. :P

I am going to separate all my zoas into frags of ten polyps on these chips.

Pros - can ensure survival if one of the frags caught disease.

- can see growth / decline easier

- can sell if wanted

I see. Ok will sms you if I need a couple of coral chips.

I thought zoas will anchor themselves onto the rock; but doesn't happen after a week.

They do. I tucked Peter's frag of 7 polups into a hole on a rock.

It is firmly encrusted now with 20+ polyps.

probably take about 2 - 3 weeks to secure themselves.

Hey btw, I will meet you guys later.

ya.. same problem last night

Yeah, upgrading issue.

Anyway, I am looking for filter sock to tie to my return pipe into the sump;

this is to reduce bubbles .... as I think more bubbles are seen in my tank.

No wonder I could not take a clear picture these days!

My pipe diameter is about 2 inch.

Not sure where to get the filter sock though.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
