    When I first got mine, they behaved the same way too. It's advisable to get at least 3 or more. Try to shorten the time you keep your lights on to get them acclimatise to the new environment. The next thing is to try getting them to eat as it's quite a known fact that they are very fussy eaters. Lucky for me, I've a bunch of greedy fellas that eat watever I throw in. :P

    Hope this helps!

    Good Lfs

    Hi guys,

    How to consider PR is a good LFS? I'm with this hobby for more than 6 years. Current, with a 3ft. tank more that one year old. With 50% hard and soft cofts with more than 6 months, with fame, Kole tang, Naso Tang, purple fire fish and others fishes. PH 8.2, Ammo & NO2 zero, NO3 40 and calcium 420ppm, KH 8 and others. Water parmeter can consider at OK. My encounter with them as follows:

    1) Brought 4 pink fire fishes, 1st $5.00 subs. $4.00. Was in a hurry going back office that afternoon (1 month ago). When introduce to my tank. WOW all fire fishes with white spot. How can they sell something like that, very irresponsible. It can say total not my fault. They know these fishes have whitespot should advised customers to placed in hospital tank. Deal to this incident, causing all the fishes mention above die three days later. Is also my mistake did not relised why are they selling so cheap where normal price at $10 to $12. Had learned this expensive lesson well.

    2) My friend brought clear stock maxi.clam at $50.00. Which die three days later and his tank already running for 6 years which had 3 more maxi. clam in the same tank for more than half year brought from TXX. So how to you guys rate this???

    3) When their large stock of clam arrived which last shipment some time ago.Intend to buy two maxi. clams for $90 per pc, asked the boss for further discount since buyng two. His reply" How can I answer to my customer where just brought 10 pcs of the $90.00 clam". I think that is a very bad attitude to answer customer. Please consider this is a newly opening shop. Where need to draw more customers to sustained the business. Therefore beside given reasonable price and good service, good advised should provided ( not too sure do they have the experiences and knowledges to advise.).

    Lastly, my advised not to buy any extremely cheap live stock, unless ......

    Not trying to defend them (i'm not related to them at all) but did u aclimatise your fish properly b4 introducing them into your tank?

    When I first started out in this hobby, most of the ppl advised me to quarantine the fish first b4 putting them in the main tank.

    Resun Chiller C100 For Sale

    Excuse me guys, but could you kindly spare a thought for us genuine reefers?

    There are those of us (myself included) that are trying to sell our used chillers -- due to upgrading. In fact, I am now trying to sell my 1-year old Hailea 260 (1/4HP) at a reasonable price.

    In one fell swoop, your statements may have just discredited both brands as possible used chillers!

    I, too, share your opinion that Reef Relief is a good chiller as this is what I had upgraded to. But for those on a tight budget, they may not have a choice but to consider used ones.

    Thanks.

    Hi, I think wat they meant is to price your stuff at a reasonable price as there seem to be some 'salesman' kurking around trying to pull a fast one on all of us.

    I do agree with alvy on the pricing. If it's juz slightly cheaper then a 1st hand product, why not buy it brand new?

    Do they attack the starfish directly?

    I am not sure how long it will take for the starfish to grow back its leg. Is it possible to keep a few starfish separately and give them ample time to grow back their leg before cutting it again.

    Sorry...its just my cruel thought.

    I put my harlequin in a betta box. juz cut off the leg of the star to feed it. Harlequins bring their food along wherever they go.

    How much did you pay for the starfish?

    I have been thinking of buying a harlequin shrimp but have been putting it off because it only eats starfish.

    $6. I dun feed the whole star fish to the harlequin. I cut off the leg to feed the harlequin. I knw it's cruel but dat's wat they eat in the wild... :pinch:
