  1. And you can grow your own Grouper in there just in time for CNY dinner.
  2. Got the same one in my tank. Very bright purplish blue colour, especially under MH. They don't algae as much or faster as those smaller red short spines urchin.
  3. Around S$100 per bulb. Special lobang.
  4. Recently was able to get a friend who was coming over from HK to hand carry Aqualine 150W bulbs and AquaMedic Deniballs. Definately save alot of cash and better lead time than waiting for AquaMart to bring them in. Will be Beijing next week and hopefully can make a detour over the weekend to HK and do a field report.
  5. my tank ever hit 50 ppm or more and fishes and corals are still doing fine.
  6. if nobody buys, then the LFS won't bring them in. Customers demands drives business. That's what the industry is about. Imagine every LFS tell newbies not to buy any corals/fishes as much as they would like to sell, you'll won't see any LFS very soon. Over the years, reefers gain experience and there is no right or wrong method. People can do only what their pockets allow them to do so. If someone chose to buy a 2ft tank to keep sps, no one can stop them. You might as well open a SPCA equilvalent for Reefs if this happens. People all over the world go to some sort of forums these days for any advice, and end up getting flamed because someone in the forum thinks he is the expert on that particular subject. Watching all the words going back and forth from the sidelines really makes it more interesting to see how people can react so differently when they are behind their keyboards , with no face seen. Just my 2 sandbits worth.
  7. PacMarine used to bring them in. Spooky shells and don't really react much when i poked at them. i rather keep a octopus if i'm going for weird stuff.
  8. Do you dump or mix with your current sand bed ? seen it at Sealife, looks like fine powder to me.
  9. But you can't stop any reefers from buying SPS,especially they are so hard to come by these days. Money belongs to them and LFS wants to earn their keep. Agree on the part about getting your tank right in the first place.
  10. Be very careful about the use of Purigen. Very good absorption rate. Anyway, i'm using Dupla Carbon.
  11. If you want it to grow even faster, use Kent Marine Coral Accel with very good results.
  12. Every morning i do a roll call on the clams before i go and have my kopi-o. Evening time, again another roll call. Any clam lovers doing the same thing as me ?
  13. I was quite lucky to escape that dreaded clam disease. When i saw that post on clam diseases, was a little afraid that one of the newly purchased Crocea might come with disease. Other than strong lighting, only other food is from Kent's liquid food like MicroVert and PhytoPlex.
  14. Some of the LFS sells zeolites as ammonia sponge if i'm not wrong. Morgan : we can only imagine....imagine one day we all can buy all types of colours of SPS at the LFS at cheap prices...
