  1. Hi All,

    Based on my tank, a standard, off the shelve 2 feet tank, I am think of investing in a better light, those T5 types, which do you all recommend, I understand there is different colour etc, which is the best for a marine planted tank? any help?

  2. Hi, here is a pic of my leafy red marcoalgae, any one knows what is this?

    It has become the center piece of the tank, beside the coraline algae on the LR. The only livestock in the tanks, is a chomis, 1 sally lightfoot, 2 electric blue hermit crab, 2 Super Tongan Nassarius Snail. just to share

  3. Anyone tried mangrove? looks abit funny right? unless the whole tank planted with it? so far anyone come across any shop that sells marine plants beside selling them as food? i know of LFS that sell turtle weed, red bamboo, red grapes, green grapes, caulerpa.

    Any good website to share on marine plant, so far have not found any except those very complicated scientific website that talk about plants cells etc.

  4. Hi All, just like to find out if there is anyone into Marine planted tank here? I now have Red Marcoalgae, (used to have caulerpa, until my sally lightfoot eat destroy all of it) and today, i added Chaeto in the tank (thanks to the a fellow member here)

    Dun know why, I cannot stand the tentecles of anemones, those spots on Mushrooms etc and so here I am, into Marine plants, can anyone share their experince how to multiply the plants, so far my Red marcoalgae does it naturally, but i would like to plant it at rock i like instead. Any knowledge to share?

  5. Hi, I am setting up a new tank to replace my old one and i hope to get everything right by not wasting money on creatures stay together hopefully in my new 2 ft custom tank. I always am amaze the creatures below and hope to keep them:

    Lyetail wasses x 1

    hermit crab x 2

    sally light foot x 2

    cleaner shrimp x 1

    blood shrimp x1

    Can they mix togther ?

  6. Hi, I am setting up a overflow tank system to replace my existing canister system. If I am getting a custom made 2 feet tank with water volume approx 60litre and sump about 20 litres, what should the water cycling rate of my main tank, should it be 5, 10, 20 times ???

    This bring me to the next question, should i invest in 2 small size pumps to cycle the tank or do i get a bigger size one like twice the flowrate of the smaller pump. seems to me its more logical to get two pump bcos there is 100% standby if one pump fails and in this way i will do away with circulation pump in the tank as there is more water movement from 2 pumps. Temp is not really an issue as I am not keeping temp sensitive creatures.

    Can anyone advise on the above?
