peacemaker

Indeed. *wipes sweat off the forehead*

what an ordeal! thankfully no casualties right?

Nope. All is fine. Took the chance to do a full maintenance. Everything is so clean now. )

haha...agree...so long as u dun go into the dark side...u're fine

Dark side really so bad meh? Some are successful with just regular water changes...

have u try soaking with garlic?

Does that help with appetite? I thought it was meant for improved immune system?

To certain extend, yes. The best method is to soak using those nutrient product. Most of these product smell terrible to us but somehow fishes love them.

Lol... he prolly meant the venustus. Which LFS brings them in?

Ya, Venustus but colini during season, will trickle a few in but normally 1-2 in one shipment...

venustus iwarna, ahbeng, CF, sealife, almost everywhere.

colini CF, iwarna and very rarely ahbeng. but they appear at reborn and lck before also.

v sporadic.

AM has some common brown ones

Bro, you have any idea how big they are? Just need a small one would do.

Bro, small ones can be around 2-2.5 inches only, as Jeremy suggested, look out from AM ")

thinnest material you can get so that your light is less obstructed/diffused.

Bro, where can I get this plastic chicken wire?

@Jeremy: I thought of egg crate, but light penetration is a concern.

a good number of fishes can jump through egg crate especially nano fishes for us nano keepers

i'm looking for the chicken wire too but most hardware shops dont carry them

Blend and let it stand, the bubble will disappear and you can store that liquid in your fridge...

Just pure juice and no pulp? Do you add water?

format factory

Thanks man! Works like a charm.

long story, nothing to do with reefing...can only blame myself for trusting someone...boo

It is a malicious world, my friend! Just have to be careful and make calculated risks.

Well, treat it as lesson learnt.

It has this silhouette figure of a creepy crawly with long feelers, so it's easy to "see" things. :oP

if only i could see my peppermints.. put in 3 and all nowhere to be seen..

Don't be despair! The first time I had them, it took 1 month before I saw it surface. But a general rule of the thumb: always be careful of creatures with claws in a reef tank. ^^

Bew tanks???

Well... kind of. Some transfers here and there. )

lol...they are going thru commando training i guess?! may be that's what happen in the wild too ^^

Bro, more like navy seals or US marines man! They kind of given up already. Too painful an ordeal, I guess. )

May be that's how they train themselve to host in anemone later...

Prolonged low light scenarios do happen in nature during monsoon season so hopefully your corals recover.

Thanks guys! Most of the corals are doing fine. I do have some sunlight coming in the room during the day, so that helps.

Kiko: I think it is relatively easy. They paired up almost immediately and hide in the same "hole" now. )

Now the barrier between my male & female Yasha, with their shrimps, have been removed. No aggression thus far.

*sings* We are family~

Thank you, bros! Ced, will definitely arrange with you again. )

hermit does a good job on clearing algae on rock:) do give it a try

Well, the one that I got seems like a pretty hard worker. However, he is also doing a good job bull dozing everything else... Probably has the most attractive "house" now. I'll post pics. )

I'll add a few more factors: 6-line is an established fish in the tank, but slightly shorter when it comes to size as compared to the Elongated Dottyback.

initally 6 lines, but after that peace

Lol... the Elongated Dottyback comes up tops! I'm very surprised as well. It was chasing the 6-line, and now it has quite a well nipped tail!

Haha. I am moving along the same path dude! =D

veri wrong dude...regular water change much cheaper alternative...heh heh

Yes, and probably the road leading to destruction on both the tank and my wallet.

haha, unfortunately I have not kept either b4, but my mystery wrasse, which was once kept at fren's place goes for the kill for all other fishes, as for naoko, heard alot of stories bout it attacking bigger fish.

Oh my... IME, the one that I had in the past was rather ok with other fishes. Then again, things may change. However, I still don't understand why the 6-line appears so fearsome to other fishes much bigger than itself.

6 lines are from the genus pseudocheilinus, which are the lined wrasses. all wrasses from this genus are very aggressive and don't mind going after fishes bigger than them. mystery wrasses are from this genus too.

Mask of Zorro.

agree.. very nice..

Lol... more like Ninja Turtle! :oP

something is brewing inside...may be a hybrid octo sun coral in the making...heehee

lol... you will see supersun with lumi green tentacles!

haaha...that would be simple awesome bro !

Haa...Eugene is right on the spot, added a squad of sixlines and deploy to all my tanks now...hee...my CUC consist of seahaire and algieblenny that's all !

hahaha.. no wonder i saw those 6lines busy at work last night!

Lol... algae blenny might be a bit too much for my small tank. I'm afraid it won't be enough to sustain it. Not too familiar with Sea hare, need to find out more.
