Hi all, I have a small mini boxfish about 1cm long, its a very small baby and today when I came home from work, I found that the boxfish is in the middle of my green bubble, it was as though my green bubble was gonna swallow it !! the boxfish died.. but wat i'm really puzzled is dat how come the bubble had it in its "mouth" can the bubble coral actually swallow my fish?! Vincent Ho

Hi all, Looking for white bubbles, anyone knows where to buy? or anyone selling? Vincent Ho

Dravan, thanxs for trying to help... now i more confused liao... wahahaha... I dun even remember who my chemistry teacher is... kekeke... Vincent Ho

Hi all! I have been advised to change the water in my tank as my no2 level is around 0.5mg/L... however, when i test the tapwater to be used for mixing with salt, the tapwater also got no2 leh... i'm confused liao... izit true dat tapwater has no2? or my testkit got problem?? Vincent Ho

derrick, the yellow patches and red patches seems to be some kind of sponge if im not wrong... Vincent Ho

Hey, u got weeds ah? use grass-cutter or lawn-mower to remove it... or maybe pour kerosene over it and set fire lor... den all the weeds would be gone... Wahahahahaha...

Hey, u always seems to be here hor... Anyway, all the advice would be very useful when i decide to upgrade my tank to 3 or 4 feet... Vincent Ho

Wah... any diff between the iron based and aluminium based? really confused here liao... Vincent Ho

Wow, dat's quite a bit of response out of the sudden!! Thank you everyone... tink I kindda got more knowledge... Anyway, in certain ways, i think there may not be a right and wrong answer, at the end of the day, the nitrogen cycle would be completed, just that maybe certain rocks are "better" in some ways... Really appreciate all the feedback.. Thanxs!! Vincent Ho

hmmm... is dat something the hermit crab does? attacking clams? i took the guy out and threw him in another part of the tank... hopefully he doesn't come back and attack my clam again.... Vincent Ho

Bro, in a separate tank, if not all my corals die liao... Vincent Ho

Btw, dunno if i see wrongly, but my hermit crab seems to be attacking my clam?! Does it happen? Vincent Ho

Like i said, i was pretty ignorant at first, so started putting in Ls from day 1...... but i used sand and coral chips dat were already cycled for 2 weeks or so... my clowns were there from day 1 and so far they are still alive... did lose 1 porcupine puffer though... and another boxfish died while being treated for ich.... tink i overdose the fella with copper... but so far only 1 casualty beside dat.. and i tink the puffer died when he squeezed into a hole with the rocks and got caught in a small space the whole day, causing it to be stressed out and died, coz my puffer was doing alright the day b4.... Vincent Ho

Terryansimon, yo my fren, my water parameters already posted in this thread leh.... my tank only 2 feet, about 15gallon of water... but lots of LS.. 2 small Clowns 2 Cleaner Shrimps 1 Fire Shrimp 1 Boxing shrimp 1 porcupine puffer 1 mini lionfish 3 mini boxfish 2 domino damsels 1 blue fish - dunno wat... 1 starfish 1 maxima clam 1 mini blenny 4 snails 3 hermit crabs Phew! the lst much longer den i expected, didn't know i got so much LS liao... I think i'm gonna get criticised by many people here... Vincent Ho

Terryansimon I understand wat u mean.... but i tink 2000+ posts is amazing by any means, not dat i'm trying to "por" anyone.... must say that whenever i post some query, u always try to give me some advice.... Vincent Ho

Terryansimon, I just bought Phosguard today too... but i only put a little an a bag and left it inside my IOS... i scared overdose or something... Another strange thing is dat, IMO, i tink i'm have lotsa of LS, but it seems that my NH3 level always very low and my skimmer dun skim those black "kopi" water, its always just brownish water... I tried adjusting it again and again oso no use... keep my fingers crossed that its alright... Vincent Ho

Terryansimon, alrite... really gotta thank you, u have answered quite a number of my queries in my other posts... Vincent Ho

Terryansimon, hey buddy, izit always the case dat when u complete your cycling, the no3 and po4 problem starts, i'm starting to get some reddish algae in my tank, is dat a sign of it? if my understanding is correct, no3 causes the po4 to rise and thus more algae rite? Pls correct me if im wrong... Vincent Ho

Terryansimon, okie buddy, I tink I get wat u mean... Vincent Ho

Ah^siao, NH3 very low, close to 0, tested liao... no2 about 0.3-0.4mg/L, better than the 0.5-0.8mg/L previously.. PH = 8.3 Temp = 25-26 degrees celsius Salinity = 1.022-1.023 Wat do u tink? Vincent Ho

Hmm... didn't know the LR so impt, too late for my 2 feet tank now... coz dun wan to upset the water and sand too much, but when i upgrade to 3 feet or four feet I know I have better pick the more "colourful " rocks.... Thanxs everyone!! Vincent Ho

Ah siao, hoe do u know dat for sure? anyway I can confirm? Vincent Ho

Terryansimon, dat's exactly wat i'm doing, whenever I got probs, or need info, I do a search, but sometimes th search function not working very well.... den i post a question in the forum for advice... I'm still pretty new to the hobby, but as far as i'm concern, i try to provide the best for my fish... I oredi blew about $1k in 1 month, for a 2 feet tank... to buy everything to try my best in providing a good home to my fishes and corals... although I must admit i'm overstocking... Maybe its been unfair of me to have posted my opinion in this thread, but i have been reading quite a numbers of threads whereby people have been shot down or have had nasty things said sbout them... so i just wanna air my views... Alvy, sorry if u think it was directed at you... i really mean no malice here... hope u accept my apologies... Vincent Ho

Tanzy, Apparantly, when i bought it, i was told that it is some kind of silk worm... but the name fan worm kindda describes how it looks... So i cant really tell... Vincent Ho

Hi all, I'm a new hobbyist and my tank is about 1 month old... due to my ignorance been putting in livestock in since day 1... so far lost 1 fish due to dat... lucky me... anyway, i used live sand and coralchips to cycle my tank.... I have been having a no2 problem for the past 2-3 weeks, but out of the sudden it dropped slightly today... been testing almost everyday so i can tell the difference in the colour of the water tested... Besides the possibility that i now have colour-blindness, can anyone tell if it's a sign of better days to come? dat maybe my nitrogen cycle is improving? Vincent Ho
