so wheres the short circuit?

Just bought a delay timer module $28 plus its base $5 to build a timer which can turn on/off for abt minimum 0.5secs. So now free up 1 channel of dosing pump. And also dosing pump pumping air to push the syringe pump is intermittently pushing food. Installed into a box. So u connect the plug to a timer plug. Once timer plug turns on at requested time, the timer delay will just switch on for 0.5secs which just pump abt 1-3ML of food. Next the ttimer plug is switched off. At the next timer plug switch on time, the process repeats itself. Video

Hi Patrick, I didn't ask price. They r at coral farm.

Cute size triggers

CF. Looks like type of sand dollar Many tailspot plenty. At least 20. Some angel I suppose

Video of unit in testing. It would be awesome if u have a controller unit for the air pump. Which I dun. So using a dosing pump to do it.

Since implementation of food dosing, So far the NPS corals are extended almost everyttime. This is of cos a no braine. SpS r ok. No change in po4 n no3. To keep the nps happy, food must be available. But when food is too much, it increases nutrients n sps not happy. So proper food introduction is important. Just the right amount so nps can captured it, & not the food being floated away from them. In the end the nps perish n sps also kaput. Hopefully, can succeed in keeping a diverse range of reef species, towards a real reef tank. Since reading on internet, there's 2 methods to supplying food to nps, kalk reactor with magnetic stirred and syringe pump. Both cost quite an amount n takes up significant amount of space. Well I decided to diy a cheap less than $10 syringe food dispenser unit. So far after a wk, every nps looks ok. Planning to buy a few more nps species to test out. The parts for diy syringe pump.

Who stay bukit panj, Wana go CF in afternoon together?

Hope tat australia show tat no amount of riches can buy nature.

If I remembered correctly the discussions. This media need oxygen. So putting it in places where it is devoid of oxygen, won't work. It is suggested to put an airstone at the bottom to provide o2. Pple did tat but nothing change. Maybe many not yet hit sweet spot

reefcentral. Got some arguments ...

So far seems like got more negative feedback than positive. Negative being no reduction to the n & P

The pocci given by Dnspfl.

My FR of the phosphate remover...top layer of my cheato all withered away, turned slimy. Orange sponge tat turned white overnight, disintegrated. My teardrop clam closed up n never opened n died slowly. All these incidents happened immediately after performing this change. Though the dosage is fed directly to the skimmer pump, my only guess is some particulate powder exited the skimmer n went to display tank. So had to stop this dosing. Right now my po4 remover media is po4x4. Still prefer this to rowa due less rinsing prior to use. Sps are surviving. Teal milli from a bro living in cck. A sps Sps given by Reaper Plus a purple n green monti. All sps looking ok for quite some time. Not going to buy any sps due im experimenting to put on NPS n hope tat they can survive n also the sps can survive too. Just finished my diy project for maintaining the NPS. Hopefully the sps, lps n NPS can survive together, will less maintainance cost n effort.

maybe set at 7pm onwards tomolo? I dun have spare container. so remember to bring one ok?

if u living in the west, I can pass u a sheet. Foc. Pls bring yr own container.

im using the 4w & 2b evo. Cheato & coralline algae can grow.

u never test for ammonia??

"....Ridiculous amounts of $ has been involved with big shipments in the hope of getting more ssc for local reefers as compared to the cut throat prices initially offered for ssc of questionable origin by a reefer. ...." Who is this reefer???

8 days into dosing 5ML every hr, 24x per day. My cheato is dying. Decided to reduce doaage to 3ml.

After the saga, I go look see. Just heng heng click 1 link n saw this thread. I kaypoh. Why u kana banned??

my experience was on the acropras. At first thought they growing... Until I saw once the "bubble" burst, the flesh just floats away, leaving bare skeleton. By the way, my experience is the whole frag had its flesh ballooned up. So no way to frag smaller pieces.

Probably need to put in quarantine tank n dose with some Medication for ich. Maybe someone with similar experience can advice u better.

Actually reefing is a personal hobby. Enjoying and appreciating the personal effort put into the hobby. There could be times when the hobby starts to be fuelled by monetary & other forms of external factors such as recognition of personal effort by others & earning some $. When such external factors outweigh the personal passion for reefing, it complicates the hobby. For me, TOTQ which showcases sps dominated tank don't really thrill me. They are pretty and colorful. But I just find tat putting few fishes, tens of colored sticks in a hundred plus gallon of water, is like putting $ in a saving account. But to each his own. It's afterall a hobby. 个花入个眼。whoever gets the award doesn't matter to me. If u ask me what I hope to see for award winning tanks, it would be a tank that replicate a part of the real reef. To me, this is like putting yr $ in shares, where there are so many multiple factors involved.

tat time my FT sps also encounter the same ballooning n after tat the "skin" of the sps just detached from skeleton. I remember I was messing with biopellets and other filtration to get my po4 down.
