  3. Up for you bro, hope a good reefer pick up the guys asap, it's very stressful for them to be transported arn like that. Shame on the pilot, remember what goes around comes around!
  4. sorry bro, i would like to withdraw my bid as i received an irresistible offer on maxspect from a good bro! Apologies for any inconvenience and a big up for you!
  5. Wad type of LEDs used bro. And color temps?
  6. Oops forgot to leave my contact! 9.23.008.27

  8. HI all, blowpop zoas for sale. Abt 15polys, i can see at least 4 new polys sprouting out. $10. Pics taken with iPhone cam, nothing is done to the pic. Frags under ATI Aquablue Special, Blue Plus and Actinic. Frags on plugs for at least 2 weeks now. Self collect bedok reservoir rd, fcfs no reserve pls.
  9. the moment it turns yellow would be correct bro, i compared readings with salifert....
  10. hi bro, i used to use tetra. i remb is the first drop u drop in, water turns blue. drop 1 drop each time and swirl. when the water turns yellow stop. the number of drops when water turns yellow is dkh. but its not v accurate, now i using salifert and i feel its more pinpoint....
  11. For such a small tank, be careful on water parameters. Elements get use up pretty quickly in small set ups. I am using same size that act as frag tank, 2x24w t5 can bring temp up to 29.5c. Don't think this temp is gd for sps. And I notice that u don't have wavemaker, sps and many other corals need good flow around them. Ps understocking does nt mean gd water quality, it could be that your tank have not finished cycling thus livestocks kept dying. Inverts do nt tolerate copper. Do a water check cos I am keeping sexies and they are really really hardy fellas
  12. u shud get a damn good cam to capture damn good pics of your damn sweet looking zoas!! hahahaha...those zoas are real sweet things in real life! up for u! ps if i can name it, i would name it purple blondie nipples hee

  17. US prices are often very high, plus shipping and the risk of DOA, one is better of scouting for "gems" in the local scene... Anyway some corals are from asia, so imagine the mark up... And u are buying corals that have travelled around the globe!
  18. OK for those who are experiencing the same problem as me, the vinegar can actually be added into the mixture to aid higher dissolution. The acetate acid will lower ph but still able to maintain carbonate hardness of solution. For those who are afraid that the ph will shoot up with NaHCO3, might want to consider this at your own risk. I am experimenting the equation and hopefully things will turn out well. I will document findings in this thread for all to know more! Vinegar And Limewater To Boost Limewater Potency Another potentially useful attribute of vinegar is that it can be used to help dissolve additional solid lime into limewater. It does this by reducing the hydroxide concentration in the limewater: 10. CH3OOH � CH3COO- + H+ The H+ combines with OH- in the limewater: 11. H+ + OH- � H2O The actual dissolution of Ca(OH)2 is limited by the multiplication product of the calcium and hydroxide concentrations in the limewater as shown below: 12. Ca(OH)2 � Ca++ + 2OH- 13. [Ca++] x [OH-] x [OH-] � 5.5 x 10-6 where [Ca++] is the concentration of calcium (in moles/L) and [OH-] is the concentration of hydroxide (in moles/L). Consequently, if you reduce the concentration of OH- via equations (10) and (11), then more Ca(OH)2 can dissolve into solution and still meet the equation (13) requirement. This would seem like a concern, however, since losing OH- might reduce the amount of alkalinity delivered by the limewater. Luckily, this is not the case. While the OH- is temporarily reduced by the acetic acid in the vinegar, when bacteria metabolize the acetate, they release it back to the water: 14. CH3COO- + 2O2 � 2CO2 + H2O + OH- Consequently, additional solid lime can be dissolved into limewater using vinegar. How much can be used? The more vinegar that is used, the lower the pH of both the limewater and the aquarium will be. One reasonable point to shoot for is to add about the same amount of total CO2 via the vinegar as is needed by the lime to form HCO3-. This balance is roughly matched by using three level teaspoons of solid lime per gallon of limewater, and 45 ml of vinegar per gallon of limewater. For those aquarists choosing to use vinegar in limewater, these values are a suitable starting point. Note that the pH of the limewater is still quite high, so slow dosing is usually required. more reading can be done here.
  19. I did a read up and indeed adding vinegar might not be good due to possible bacteria build up and ultimately leading to algae. It just bugs me if a reaction does not equates! Hahahah
  20. Woot Omar is indeed a generous man! And not forgetting the many goodies at his place, happyguy u will be a happy guy indeed after a visit to his place!
  21. Hi all, been trying to mix my own calcium and alkalinity additive but the NaHCO3 seems to have some precipitation. I am afraid these are the unused carbonate thus i want to make sure everything is dissolved in the concentrate. Now i know that NaHCO3 + H2O -> CO2 + NaOH + H2O. Thus the white precipitation is just NaOH. Am i able to solve this by adding small amount of CH3COOH (vinegar)? The equation would be CH3COOH + NaOH = CH3COONa + H2O, which i believe will be without precipitation. Am i correct in this equation?
  22. What is on your mind comes May's Growth Dividends?

  23. LOL corals and fishes are always aplenty bro...what is most impt is that we ensure our tank is a safe haven for them...dont buy and let them die just like that....be patient and take this time to slowly read instead of stocking up like crazy..
