Actually...

1262 is okay for a 3 feet... but i am facing this problem...

When i use a single outlet from the return pump. the current is a bit too strong...

But when i use a T split, the current is too weak.

As my wave maker seems a little unpowered for the tank, i decided against using the T split. I try to leave with a bit of sandstorm in the tank. I hope the fishes can get use to it.

I am using a AB2000 for my 2 by 1 by 1 Nano in office.

The wave is ....... WOW!!

No need wavemaker. But the negative is that, i cant have elegance coral in my tank :(

Thanks Guys,

Was PT hunting over the weekend, but couldn't find any that i really like.

Found this beauty instead.

Can't really take a photo, as it doesn't really like its photo to be taken..

Anyway, found a long bristle worm and while taking that picture, managed to get him in the way

I saw a really nice Carpet at ML, But it was kinda pricy.. or at least for me...

So i pick up a common BTA instead.

Left in on the top part of the LR, just inches from the return pipe.

That night he started moving to underneath the rock. He has been there for the last 40 hours.

Tried feeding him with some mysis shrimp. But the cleaner shrimps kept trying to poach him of that..

2) 1 Turbo Snail (real hardworking fellow)

3) 1 Brittle Star (haven't seen it since day 1)

4) 1 or 2 Bristle Worms...

i thot of sand shifters, but from Reef Central, they seems to be hard to kept alive because there is never enough stuff for them to feed on...

u can get sea cucumbers...they will feed on yr detritus, but be careful...they can get blended by wavemakers...

cleaner shrimps only help to clean parasites on fishes...not as in "cleaning" up yr leftovers...

i wd recommend sally lightfoot crabs...they r very good at eating leftovers and will not disturb yr corals....

Hi AhSiang,

I actually got some crab inside as well. You see, someone gave me the LR. It came with this crab which he says he paid $30 for. It makes clapping sound some times.. I dunno what kind of crab it is.

I am refraining from getting crabs because, i heard it eat starfish... and i have a starfish in the tank already..

As for sea cucumber, it look like one piece of shit leh... ha ha.. are they really good?

those are hitchhikers....clapping shrimps i heard b4...but not clapping crabs....

sea cucumbers looks like a castrated dick inside a tank also....they r really good....AM has some pink ones and SL has black ones....

sea urchins are good also...but more for clearing algae, not leftovers from feeding....

Actually cleaner shrimp are some of the best scavenger you can have in the reef tank. They will move quickly ard at the bottom of your tank to hunt for leftovers. When there is a carcass in your tank, your cleaner are definately one of the first to be at the scene

I am sure they are quite good...

just need to chase them away when i am feeding the anemone.

On day 2, the anemone moved itself and tug under a cave. but yesterday night, it kinda still stuck its feet under the cave, but the rest of the body is stretch out, so feeding is much easier now...

At this point of time, i have only been feeding mysis shrimps, a couple of pieces each day. It is opening up nicely... i hope it last! I didn't take any photos, because it is really a normal brown specimen. It was meant to be my "trial and error" One day i shall move to nicer specimen....

I need to check, what is the feeding regime for anemones typically?

white rocks will usually turn brown/ black over time or perhaps gets covered by hairy algae.

with that respect, coraline encrusted rocks are much more pleasing to the eye and makes the tank looks more oceanic.

Hi Jacky!

thanks for dropping by...

Well, the rocks i have does have some coraline algae, but honestly, i don't mind if i lose them.

Some of the rocks are covered by hairy stuff, which i presumed to be GHA. But as long as they are under control, I don't really mind some. After all, they are part of the nitrate control as well.

My wife just SMS me to tell me that 1 clown fish seems to be wondering around the anemone. That is good news...

      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
