I bought from Paris Ris farm. I dunno if it dies it will crash your tank or not.

Anyway now with 4ft and powerful skimmer I don't worry as much as previously in my 100 litres.

Wear gloves when handing it Go buy the corallife rubber gloves, very good.

Weileong, can do a review on the kalkreactor pls? :-)

[weileong]

review?

Have no experience on using the kalk reactor before.

Anyway setting up is very easy, with the kalk reactor, no need to prepare the kalk solution anymore just put the kalk powder into the reactor, set a timer to run the mixing motor 15min once every hr. This works hand in hand with the tubby and so I top with kalk now. Hopefully can help to keep the pH more stable.

Did you transfer all your live stock in a day.

[weileong]

I got just a few corals and 3 anemone in my 100 litres and no fish, don't think that is going to give some trouble right? I am monitoring the bioload at this moment.

[Bob]

I,m probably going to be the same case as you.Need to tranfer due to rusty iron wrougth stand & some more a friend had given me his cabinet.

[weileong]

I guess just stand-by aged saltwater for standby just in case.

[weileong]

Saddleback clowns - Mated pair from CF.

[ah^siao]

nice pair of saddleback clowns....

[weileong]

The female is about 3" from head to tail while the male is 1/2 the size.

Eating like pigs now, the bigger clown's face also look like "lau lau" one lol.

[weileong]

black area starts to develop in the DSB, from abt 2.5" down from the surface.

[weileong]

not sure. Just document down the changes I can observe and have done to my tank.

[weileong]

clown goby from SL.

[weileong]

yellow goby.

Still have one more green goby but MIA this morning must be hiding somewhere.

[weileong]

Must have acros ???

I check with L*veAquar*a.com and it says

Gobies are relatively small fish, usually reaching three inches in captivity. Gobies adjust well to aquarium life. A well-sealed lid is a requirement for keeping gobies, as they will jump out of an open aquarium. Plenty of rockwork and the proper substrate of coral sand should be provided to enable burrowing or sand sifting Gobies the proper environment.

Quite true actaully, the green and yellow one jumped into my overflow. I got time out already. Better do something to cover it.

Gonna DIY moonlight with 475nm and 426nm LEDS and 4-5 sets of 6-8 LEDS to simulate sunrise/sunset effect. Else they get shocked might just jump out.

[weileong]

Marble Shrimp

[weileong]

Another one. Quite difficult to photograph them.

Hopefully they will come out of hiding soon so I can see them red red at night

[weileong]

been catching those crabs every night and this morning found a "big" one. Abt 3cm in size.

[weileong]

True percula mated pair from CF.

Red anthias and African clown in picture too.

Blue Tang still sleeping in the rocks.
