      Iwarna. It comes in a bottle with like a teaspoon worth of powder inside. Just follow instructions and dissolve everything in situ, and dose appropriately. It's very effective and completely reef safe.

      i love melapterus. but let's face it they are still very challenging even if showing interest in pellets. you can try though...the japanese have had long term success with many obligate coralivores with a strict diet of frozen seafood, pellets and fresh clams.

  13. Anyone knows where I can get Hydrogen Peroxide locally?

    1. yikai

      yikai

      pharmacy. but the concentration is very low. lab grade hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidising agent and you need a permit to order

  14. The belly of my helfrichi goby has sunken in in-spite of feeding. How should I resolve this?

    1. yikai

      yikai

      most likely internal parasites. very common in deepwater species. praziquantel works wonders.

  15. made a mistake..brought one Elegance ..forgotten that they dun really survive long due to some dyeing process

    1. yikai

      yikai

      no. elegance corals make good long term additions to reef tanks which can survive for years just like any other LPS. however, they are a little more sensitive and indo/vietnam ones sometimes die from an unknown condition called elegance coral diesase. but just keep them like any other LPS. make good pets for years.

      i told myself i'm never going back to boring rectangles after i went for this cube. if ever i were to start again it's going to be a cube. i'm thinking of doing a small 1x1x1 or 2x2x2 in my room. keep one species of fish only.

      I will still be actively surfing the hybrid thread here and will still visit LFS. I have a commitment to reefbuilders even though I don't have a tank now remember? And I like my position as a writer too much to give up.
