  1. Hi guys and gals, Need your help to ID these snails. Was told that they were sand shifting snails but I'm afraid that they might be cone snails. Seen them barrowing down into the sand. But when I set trap with market prawn to catch some crabs last night, these snails came into the trap. Had a few missing fishes since I intro them into the tank and was wondering if these are the culprit. If they are indeed cone snails, then it's very likely....
  2. Lol, I always thought that the opening on sponges are for the water to enter, turns out it's for the water to exit from the sponges.
  3. Sump filter is best if your tank is design for it. i.e. with overflow system. If the previous owner advice canister filter, then I suspect that the tank is not design for sump system. Basic filteration system includes mechanical, chemical and biological. Basically, you need filter wood or filter sock (mech) to remove those solid waste and a protein skimmer (mech). The next level is to have some media where bacterias can colonise, live rocks are good. I used other biological media like biohomme for the BB to colonise on top of live rock. As for chemical filters, I personnel don't use them unless necessary as I find them a bit troublesome. Some pple will use active carbon (charcoal) as a chemical filter to remove unwanted/harmful chemicals in the tank. Do note that active carbon needs to be change regularly (a reason why I don't use them as I'm lazy) as once they are saturated with unwanted chemical, they will release these chemical back into your tank system.
  4. Vortech. Took me 3 weeks before I decided to get my MP40ES. Never regard getting it.
  5. Hi all, I came back from work today and find that one of my R. Florida is missing. It's not at the spot where I glue it to. Could it be that the R.Florida is dead and was scavange by my Sally Lightfoot? Problem is, just last night the R. Florida was okie, no signs of stress or bleaching. Anyone encounter anything similar?

  7. The few new clownfishes that I've just introduce thinks that the goniopora that I have is an anemone and keeps playing amongs the goniopora tentacles. Should I be concern? Btw is bubble tip Anemone safe with small fishes like bicolor dottyback and bicolour bennies?

  9. So what happens if 2 person bid the same price for same no. but different combo? i.e. No. 1 & 3 from one guys and No. 1 & 2 from another guy? Anyway, I bid No. 1 & 3. $5.
  10. Can anyone explain to me how does this work? If 2 person bid for the same zoa for the same price, who gets the zoas? e.g. I bit no. 1 & 2 for $10 and another guy bid no. 1 & 4 for $10. Then who wins? Or are there more than 1 frag for each zoa? Sorry, a bit confuse here....

  15. Can I check so tank is now 3 years plus? Can list down the tank maker? Cos I know certain tank maker have warrenty against leaks for their tank. Also a pic each of your tank and sump will help too.
  16. Looks cool. But hor, wouldn't air pump cause lots of micro bubbles?
  17. Thanks. I intend to keep corals. I've a 3ft sump currently running with the 5ft. Problem is, I think the current needs to be change. also am worried about whatsize chiller to use. Condensor is out as we intend to move 2 years later. And I don't want the extra hacking and breaking my false ceiling.
  18. Hi all, Currently I've a 5ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft arowana tank. Am thinking of converting it to a reef tank. Problem is, the thickness of the glass of my 5ft tank is only 12mm. What will be the maximum inches of sand bed and also kg of LR can I add to the tank? Will it be better if I change the tank to 15mm thickness? If so, what will be the estimated cost to custom make one? Btw, what chiller size should I be looking at for a 5ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft reef tank setup?
