yup... but at least i dun need to worry about the skimmer overflowing every 3-4 days.. hahaha...

my collection cup is the stevie collection cup with is smaller then the stock one.. =]

oh yeah, urs is the mod one to fit the back.

[peacemaker]

The water level is the part that i cannot control. . . unless with auto - topup.

I am running constantly with a 12VDC Coolermaster blue led fan

i need to top up the evaporated water everyday.

Lucky for me, the skimmer is able to fit very nicely in the return pump compartment, without eating into the display tank area

Since yours is an office tank, it is best that you get an ATO system. Especially during the weekends, evaporation will cause huge swings in your perimeters if not carefully monitored. Do consider some safety measures in case equipment fails (float switch not working, getting stuck, etc).

Very likely i will be adding ATO, as i will be gg on leave for 1-1/2 weeks!

Wonder if my colleague can take care for me... haiz..haha

But with WTO, i will have a storage tank below my Desk! "o.O OMG!

Sharing my Zoas collection;

[900801]

Nice tube worm always facinated by them.

[wackytpt]

Nice collection of Zoas you have there.

[tench1]

Its in a rather bad shape after going on leave for close to 2 weeks.

haha, but they are indeed hardly and nice!

[tench1]

Found quite a few of these creatures roaming around my tank.

anyone can id for me?

Thanks!

[albinosage]

Bro those are nudibranches, most probably zoa eating ones. Better to remove all of them. Have you noticed zoa polyps dying for no reason?

[tench1]

OMG! No wonder my zoas arent displaying their beauty! How do i get reach of them? Any predators that i can introduce?

[albinosage]

Some wrasses will actually feed on them, small yellow wrasse and 6 line are the more hardworking ones. Yellow wrasse is usually preferred cos it is the less aggressive of the two. In the meantime, read up on pests to zoas, you will probably need to manually remove any eggs you see. If the infestation is serious, use Coral RX, Flatworm exit or Lugols with fresh water to dip them then let the wrasse do the rest.

[tench1]

Alrite. i will try Yellow Wrasse 1st. Thanks Bino Bro!

Guys, just got myself a hammer.

Seems abit funni today.

See below pictures taken...

There seems to have threads emerging from the centre of the hammer coral.

What is it doing? Melting? I doubt so.

Need comments...

[Terryz_]

Looks like brown jelly...

[tench1]

Wat's the brown jelly?

The Jelly thingy came out. Look like waste to me from the hammer.

Can any1 second that?

[jackywongto]

Hi bro,

I have seen those from my zoas, and other corals before too.

I think it is either poo-ing or getting stressed.

My take is that : leave it for a while and it clears up, then nothing much to be concerned about.

cheers

[tench1]

Hi Jacky, Noted. YOu are right. its just the hammer pooing.

Kinda 'lucky' that i get to see it in action.

hahaha

[onizukaa]

[raydiative]

Lol... hahahah... OMG!!!! i shall refrain from saying anything to get warning points..

[desideria]

i've seen rics, coco worms, mushies and FISHY poop!! never seen the rest of the corals poop though..

[tench1]

Hahaha, Jacky the poo-watcher!

I also saw zoas poo, black slimey jelly...eeee

BTW, i witnessed the reef version of " drag me to hell " yesterday!

upon feeding my plate coral with a dead fresh water fish, all the "hands" were dragging the 1/2 inch body to the "hole"! Spectacluar!

[jackywongto]

.... ummm thanks for another "nice" name !

yeah sometimes they really release a lot poo..... thats why I prefer to use a stronger flow in the tank and skipped mushrooms.

[tench1]

kidding wor, dont take it to heart

to reduce the use of wave maker, i use a higher flow of return plump.

But problem is, there are areas in the nano that were covered by the return waves.

hence, lotsa poos and debrises were lying around :S

no worries bro .... not so petty lah..... else would have burned down that Ray fella's house already!!!

Saw that you tank is underflow. is there an overflow into your mechanical filtration too?

If debris are cycling within your tank beyond half a day, then maybe you can look into improving your mechnical filtration.
