  5. do avoid the Mandarin fish until your tank is mature
  6. bro, talk to Henry from Marine Life. He brought in a all-ready-to-go nano setup from Italy (i believe) which is pretty impressive. He had a ready setup in his shop. u can drop by to take a look cheers
  7. - pepermint shrimp also an alternative - manually removing them, get a dripper and you can suck them into the glass tube. try not to remove by pincer as broken parts will grow into new nudi after nights off for sometime (1/2 hr), turn on the lights and start the hunt. repeat for a couple of nights happy hunting !
  8. if you subscribe to those security system, one of the function is that they will call you when their machine got power off, indirectly stating that there is a power failure/trip.
  9. 1) Have many bottles of "iced" water in fridge ready 2) standby battery power pumps power failure is not the thing that kills, it is not knowing that there is a power failure that kills how to be alerted when there is a power failure? cheers
  10. i found that those big size polyps zoa can last very long. Mine with me for 3-4years and the colony is expanding but for those smaller size polyps zoa (most of the time this zoas have richer color), they just melt away after sometime.
  11. for the yellow (canary) wrasse, becareful of jumpers you can try Logul's solution (concentrated iodine). administer outside tank. not in tank. for diseased polyps, you can drip directly onto them.
  12. 3 times 1) RTA got stuck into power head. Discover early. No nuke, just the unforgetable tasks to remove the RTA from the powerhead 2) Main return pump down. Discover early. Lucky got standby pump. 3) Chiller pump went down. Temperature shot up to 30+ with MH on. Saw corals not opening as they should. Quickly off all lights, put in standby bottles of ice and again, have standby pump. Took many hrs to bring temperature. Hammer melted off. But my worst fear is that all this happen and I'm NOT home
  13. bro, see the article in Aug2009 Advanced Aquarist on the Plenums. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2009/8/beginner cheers
  14. not only the tube, the reflective hood covering the tube also plays a part in how much "extra" light it can deflect into the water. cheers
