make sure u place 2 rubber bands across the bottle mouth. this prevetns fish or shrimps from going in to get the bait.

any tips on their husbandry?

do u mean silverfish? sodium levels very high

thanks for the replies peeps! But i realised that the snails leave alot of poo, small pieces of droppings. wouldn't these add to the nitrate levels?

me me me!!! siglap district

a tsunamis with speed of 800km/h, wonder if there's anything left to see when diving/ snorkelling? nevertheless, my heartfelt condolences to those who have lost loved ones in the act of God. May they find peace soon.

use essence of chicken bottle. use 2 to 3 rubber bands to make a cross or a star pattern across the opening of the bottle. bury it diagonally into the sand bed, the rubber bands are to prevent shrimps from getting the prawn meat, as their feelers cannot fit into the bottle due to the rubber bands. crabs will crawl in, but its too slippery to climb out.

maybe u could wash the wool with sea water, then replace it. or use 2 sheets of wool. When time to change, thorw the dirtier one and wash the second one. place the washed one closer to the water intake and place a new one next to it.

thanks peeps for the kind info. meaning mysis have to target feed.? wouldn't this fella go hiding in rocks?

had a simliar problem, but me clowns recovered after 2 weeks. think water condition issue.

Recently i started keeping snails. i had 2 turbo snails. and i realised they release loads of excretement.with this, my sand-bed started turning brown really quick. could this be due to high nitrates level? after removing both the snails, the growth of diatoms seem to be retarding. has anyone experienced this before? should i still keep snails? since they a good clean up crews. Regards

has anyone kept this before? how long has it been surviving or ... how long it lasted? have to specially feed? thanks for the input in advance.

wah kaos! ice cubes..? hmmm... fierce sial. will try. heh.

so its a good idea to remove ALL crabs? got a few in my tank. will they harm my live stock?

i think u meant a warantee?

purchase soft corals such as 'leather'. read that they thrive on nitrates, thus bringing nitrate levels down.

fish may get stressed in a tank without sand due to the reflection of light from the bottom.

THanks woonming. just to clarigfy, do i have to change the ballast as well?

Thanks for the replies peeps. hmmm, mine's a 21 watts each tube x 2. how do i upgrade to high output. can i get higher output tubes or... haev to change the ballast? which means do i have to change the hood?

I recently bought a 3ft Dymax light set. would anyone know if its a high or normal output? how to cehck if its high /normal ? Can one purchase the bulbs to make it high output?

length of hose rather long. try and reduce it as much as u can to lower water drag.

is it possible to frag off the dead portion, thus allowing the rest of the hammer to heal? has anyone tried this beforE?

thanks for the reply wooming

Hi everyone, read that the Nitrosommonas bacteria oxidizes toxic Ammonia to Nitrite. And Nitrobacter transform Nitrite to Nitrate. My question is, are these bacteria found on live rocks, and / or they cultivated (too) on our filter material such as bio balls etc.

nope no way. too polluted.
