  1. Not exactly correct. Bristle worms can be the “normal” bristle worm and they can be touched. They form part of your cuc and that’s good as long as you are not freaked out knowing there are worms Inside your tank. But if it is the Fireworm species, then yes, they will “burn” you. So to play safe, don’t ever handle any worms with bare hands. If you really want to get rid of them, I found that removing the rock from the water, and slowly dripping some H2O2 and tank water mixture onto the rock could drive them out of hiding. But there’s no guarantee. Some worms are too stubborn to come out. Plus you would lose some beneficial bacteria in the rocks. So try at own risk.
  2. Looking for Frag of either coral. For Birdnest, prefer the fat branch / rounded tip type, not the sharp skinny tip. Please PM me with price and photo. Thanks:)
  3. Anyone has a small Frag of Pink/Purple Millie or Pink Birdnest (fat round tip type), pls PM me. Would like to try if my tank can sustain SPS. Please send photo so I can see the color, tks.
  4. And Toadstools can be very luminous too.
  5. For those that are concerned about wandering Anemones getting juiced by water maker or walking/covering other corals in your tank. Toadstool coral would be the best host, in my opinion. This is the 2nd toadstool my (same) clowns have hosted, after my RBTA and 1st Toadstool were gone. Guess I was lucky my clowns hosted easily on any fleshy corals.
  6. Both rocks of mushroom taken. Sorry to those I did not contact.
  7. Sorry guys, a bit overwhelmed with responses. I’m going in sequence to respond.
  8. Selling 2pcs of rocks, each having 30-40+pcs of beautiful blue mushrooms ‘A’ is a Tonga rock of approx 20cm length. Price $45 ’B’ is LR about 6x9cm size. Price $40 PM if interested. If convenient to my schedule, I can deliver. Else collection at S100059. Note: There’s some feather dusters or something else on the rocks.
  9. Then last Oct, got these 2 Jap Neon Toadstools as well.
  10. Due to salt mix issue, my previous toadstool was badly affected and died. So I got new toadstool, and 1.5 years later…. Btw, my clown is around 4inch long, so can gauge the toadstool size.
  11. Toadstool has been closed for over a day. Noticed something strange today, like it’s releasing something into the water. Toxin? Anyone seen anything like this before? IMG_1614.MOV
  12. Where u placed it, in terms of flow?
  13. I don’t recall ever seeing a single photo in any of your SELL post, past 1-2 months. Photos will make the sale easier. You have problem posting photos?
  14. To me, water changes are for 2 main purpose. Replenish trace elements and export nutrients. If your water parameters are all within range, then technically there is no need to change water. I have heard of many reefers not changing water for months. They monitor their water closely, dose if needed, nutrients are exported sufficiently, thus don’t find no need to change.
  15. Left side will touch the tank wall? If plan to clean wall then need move it away a bit.
  16. If you are referring to DSB, then I believe it is not supposed to be stirred. Or at the most, only the very top layer to be “cleaned”. if you are referring to normal sand bed that’s, say around 1” or so, then they can be regularly stirred/cleaned. But if it has not stirred/cleaned for months, don’t do the whole tank at one cleaning. Do small area first time, then subsequently gradually increase the area during each cleaning. This is just to play safe not to stir up too much shit into the water column. Above just my 2 cents worth because I don’t have DSB.
  17. Does anyone knows which LFS carries Tetra Test Strips?
  18. Would like some recommendation on easy to use Test Kits. Are those 5-in-1 type of test strips accurate enough for a Non-SPS tank?
  19. Didn’t you just started your tank less than 3 weeks ago? You can’t have finished your cycling so fast. My guess is the fish was too stressed out because tank is not ready for inhabitants yet and thus in its weakened state, it got attacked by whatever its body had been able to fend off previously. Would suggest you quickly give up the surviving clownfish to someone with an established tank. Patience is key in this hobby.
  20. Yes, the tank water should go through the sponge filter first, before going to any other media like your bio-bricks. So have to move your Skimmer to 2nd chamber. I’m not familiar with bio-bricks, but you maybe can consider placing them in a media bag (or tie them together) before putting at the bottom of the chamber. This way, easier to remove from the narrow chamber if you need to take them out for rinsing. Or if they do break into smaller pieces, you have less headache “fishing” for all the loose pieces.
  21. If you manage to block the light, then should not have issue of excessive algae growth through sunlight. But you may have issue with temperature and water loss.
  22. Usually you want to have the mechanical filter (ie. Filter sponge) in the first chamber before anything else. So it can filter out most of the detritus before it runs through the rest of your system. You can have your bio bricks in first chamber, after your filter. If you have your bio-bricks in front, then it will become clogged with detritus very fast. Not familiar with WaterBox, but is the water level in the compartments meant to be so high in all compartments? Noted that you will be using fan for cooling. So you will have significant water level drop daily, which may affect skimmer operations. Might want consider get an ATO to counter that, unless you monitor very frequently.
  23. Since it’s for cycling and such a big volume, why not just get salt water mix straight from a LFS?
  24. Increase your water change frequency, % or both. Should clear in few weeks time if current parameters not out too by much. Siphon out as much cyano as possible when changing. Else for quicker fix, can consider Red Slime Remover, ChemiClean or similar. But do read up on it as different reefers have different experience with it.
  25. Skimmer helps “plucks” the organic nutrients out from the water.
