  1. :shock: Detritus? :blink::unsure: What detritus? Got detritus meh? :shock:

    Joking ah. :bow:

    Firstly, scape your rock with lots of cave and minimum contact with sandbed. This will allow the strong flow in your SPS tank to keep the detritus in suspension.

    Secondly, you must have strong flow since you are keeping SPS. This will work as above.

    Thirdly, get lots of cleanup crew. Nassarius, cerinth, turbo, margherita, bumble bee snails and cleaner shrimps. Get lots of these, they help. A good ratio is 1 snail every 2 gallons of water. So 100 gallon tank, 50 snails (various types) :)

    Still, when do water change siphon out whatever you can see.

  2. Those purple frags are the PMs right?

    Those are not PM aka Purple Monster. PM is all purple (even under low light) with stubby, rounded coralites and distinct white polyp.

    Those that Jim posted is Hoeksemai, very much sought after in RC. It's part of the staghorn family. Someone in RC did ID the purple pieces from PR shipment as Hoek, so it is really a gem. :yeah::yeah:

  3. The colour sure looks similar, but I'm not sure if its the same... somehow I get the feeling its not loripes... :P

    I think it's a rosaria but the blue polyps quite difficult to maintain IMO. It will eventually lose it's blue in our tank. I could be wrong and it could turn out to be a super piece.

  4. Empty CO2 tank means your CR not working lah. When CR not working, no replenishment of kH lar, so kH will surely drop. Buy a spare tank of CO2 then change when the existing one finish. Like that no down time mah. ;)

  5. i have one golden angel in the tank :heh: can do the job huh :blink:

    Frankly, I don't know but reefers keeping these type of fishes have been able to get rid of their monti nudis. But how sure are you tht you have nudi attack? Unless you see bald white patches on your montis then you lose sleep lah. I think everyone's tank with monti will have nudis, The wrasses and angels keep them in check so they don't spread and multiply and take over your tank.
