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?

Hi guys, found a couple of weird snails yesterday night after all the lights are off.

Anyone know what are they? Whether they are reef safe?

Not sure where they come from though.

Anyway, I got a nice small blotched anthias 2 weeks ago.

Currently my favourite!

But he is scared of my african flameback angel who will chase him whenever possible.

Hope he will be doing ok :)

Cheers!

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

I was thinking of removing it or move it to the sump area if it is not a reef safe slugs.

Anyway, I think they have eaten away my grass like coral.

bro, grass referring to alage?

No, those corals that are like grass.

Not sure the name.

I suspect they are feeding on this; as it has become "botak" and I saw one of them resting on it.

Hi, got my new skimmer! Deltec SC2060.

To help me with my overstocking and livestock buying syndrome!

Just got it setup today; it is huge ... but luckily can fit just nice into my skimmer compartment.

Not really sure whether it is running fine or not ... maybe bros here can advise.

By the way, how should I adjust the shut off valve, it is the black thing on the right in the second photo?

Thanks!

Also, got a frag of this white coral; not sure the name ...

Fishes wise ... currently quite a number of them ... hard to take each one..!

Cheers!

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

yeah I know;

may change my sump to a bigger one next time.

And also change to EOS for my tank; hence increasing the total water volume.

This morning seemed like not much to skim anymore.

I think I can just on it at night :)

how's ur skimmer doing? :) the black waste valve just leave it as it is. you can turn on if your skimmer cup is full and want to drain the wastage. I drain it once in a while into a 1.5L bottle.

Good news to my skinny spotted mandarin.

Managed to catch it yesterday night as he is getting skinnier and does not much strength to escape.

Put him in the betta box and gave him pellets and arctic pods this morning; no response.

Came back tonight and saw the number of pellets have decreased.

Gave him some brine and mysis shrimp just now .... and he ate them too....

Guessed I can save this mandarin after all.

Cheers!

Here is he ... yeah he is skinny.

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