[Royal Gamma compatible with fire goby?]

Any idea if a Royal Gamma and a Fire Goby/purple firefish can live happily together in a 24G nanocube?

erm... from my experience... mine is a false gramma... too aggresive... killed my fire goby in 1 wk plus...but im not sure if a royal gramma would do so... maybe u can introduce ur fire goby before the royal gramma... oh ya.. mine is a much smaller tank.. 12 gals...

[Fuge light]

I just use the energy saving light.

oh.. ok... ya.. i know a lot of fellow reefers using those energy saving lamp... but i wan2 try juz running a small LED into the sump... mine is a nanocube... thus.. i dun wan2 make things look too messy... there's also too little space...

[Fuge light]

hi all,

i juz wan2 ask if any bro is able to keep cheatos using juz those small submersible LED lights? is 5W sufficient? thks

[changing of PL in hood]

You should not have any problem finding PL ballast, just ask around in DIY shop or self fix, or even sim lim tower. PL tube wise i usually go to pasir ris fish farm area, think its at Lot 63 something like that.

oh... ok thks alot bro... i'll try to source for it...

[changing of PL in hood]

36W PC light are much longer than your 13W, not sure will it fit in your hood. Next, you'll need longer reflector and change ballast also, on the wiring portion its easy if you have some electrical background. Check out nano-reef.com, you'll get some useful idea there

hi... thks for the advice... do u hav any idea where can i get the ballast n bulbs??

[changing of PL in hood]

hi all,

i was thinking of changin my 13W PL lights in the hood to higher wattage such as 36W... i dont think i can juz buy a 36Wbulb to replace it right? i was wondering how to do this modification and where can i get those lighting equipments... any experts can give me some advices? thks...

[my new 1x1x1.5ft tank]

hi, hav u run any test of the water? like NH4, NO2, NO3... these r the main tests needed i believed.. the smell of the water is probably caused by large amt of die-off on the lr...

juz my opinions.. still learning though..

[which testkits r needed?]

For corals, you will need Ca and Mg test kits.

thks bro for the advice...

so i only need this 2 testkits? another question is wat is the required range or level for the Ca n Mg?

[which testkits r needed?]

hi all,

i hav been running a fowlr tank for abt 6 mths... tinking of addin in some mushrooms n zoa...

but firstly i wan2 know wat r the tests i need to run?

i already hav the NH4, NO2, NO3 and pH testkits.. wat other test kits do i need?

thks

[Lighting for corals]

how deep is the tank?

hi... its abt 1 ft i guess... i hav some lr in there which i can stack any corals onto them... this would make them shallower..

[What kind of lighting for you using for LPS?]

hi all... do u guys think a 11W PL is sufficient for keepin hammers, bubbles n zoos? tank is v small... a 35L... 1 ft cube...

[Lighting for corals]

erm... anyone can help??

[Lighting for corals]

hi all, as i'm having a small nano cube.. the lighting provided is only a PL 11W... my tank is 35L... is this light sufficient to keep corals such as zoa, hammer, bubble? seems a little too weak but i hav no experience in changing to another lamp...

[skimmer for 12g nano cube??]

Did euu try to remove the outlet cover? It'll safe more space...

yup bro... i hav remove it n stuff the outlet with the black sponge... but will probably change the sponge to filter wool cos its ineffective in preventing bubbles from coming out...

anyway... do u i can remove the pump and replace with an airstone? but im not sure if it'll work and dunno the air stone to use..

[skimmer for 12g nano cube??]

On budget?? If so I reccomend ya Resun sk-05 not bad la but MUST monitor water level... at AM new stock of this just arrive...

hi bro.. thks for the advice...

actually im already using it... but the space in the sump is so limited...i can only put it on my last compartment... juz above the return pump...this is very inconvenient when i need to take out the cup n discard the skimmate...

i was looking for something even smaller to fit into the 2nd compartment nicely... but i cant seems to find any till now...

[skimmer for 12g nano cube??]

hi all,

i would like to know if anyone is using skimmer for a 12 gal nanocube?(muz be able to close the hood) has been lookin for one for sometime but cant seems to find any... can any experts or users pls give some recommendations? thks..

[chiller for nano]

hi bros...

can anyone recommend a small chiller for a nano tank of abt 35 L?

hope someone can shed some light on it... thks....

[sand sifter starfish]

hi bro... i read from an article that the type of starfish prey on prawns?

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_di...&pcatid=572

how true is it? come to tink of it... my cleaner shrimp has gone missing for a day... wonder if its been eaten...

[sand sifter starfish]

hi bro... thks for the advice...

its finally moving abt... after 2 days at the same spot... good to know that it can keep the sand bed clean... that's the main reason im getting it upon recommendation by the lfs...

[sand sifter starfish]

hi all,

can any experts provide me with some info on sand sifter starfish?

1) is it good for keeping sand bed clean?

2) does it move abt or does it stay mostly in one spot? ( mine jus stay at the same spot for 2 days..)

3) is it hardy? can tolerate nitrate between 15-20mg/l?

thks....

[which ls to get first?]

thks for the advice...

anyway... i got the following now...

cleaner shrimp x 1

hermit crab x 1

sand shifter star x 1

royal gramma x 1 ( i dun tink its the true royal gramma)

currently i hav abt 4 kg of lr in the tank... ya... space is very limited.. but there r still a little space in the sump tank... is it advisable to put some small lr in there? there will be no light in the sump...

so is there any goby that u can reccommend? the fire goby? is it good?

[which ls to get first?]

thks bros for the reminder....

ya.. i am aware of the water instability in small tank... im trying to fight this prob with WC... currently i change every wk.. does having more lr help to stabilise the water parameters more?

also... wat r the goby that i can get? are gobies agressive? i wan2 keep the sand clean...

[which ls to get first?]

hi all,

i have decided to get the following for my clean up crew...

1) cleaner shrimp x 1

2) hermit crab x 2

3) one of the gobies..x1

4)probably brittle star fish ( will it hurt small fishes?) x 1

any opinion on this set up? can they work tgt or any rivalry amg them?

thks...

[Building a refugium for a nano cube]

hi all... thks for the input...

first of all i tink i cant use a hang on fuge without throwing the hood rite?

secondly, i saw those few links posted by u guys... the idea was great... but i hav no idea how to modify them to be suitable for my nano cube... the main thing is the overflow system.. i dun tink i hav much space to accomodate that rite?

i was also tinking of jus growing some chaeto in the sump tank as a form of nitrate export... but im not sure if its feasible... the amt of chaeto i can house in that compartment could be too little.. moreover, its difficult to provide light into those compartment...

any more advice from u guys? thanks alot anyway..
