For MBF fish eggs, I have seen them in Pasir Ris Ah Beng and Reborn. Why RYZ bro, you also interested to feed fish eggs? :-)

So bro, what is your overall opinion about feeding fish eggs? Are they healthy enough for our stocks? Did you experience feeding frenzy when you feed? Did you experience better growth, color? Sorry to bombarding you with so many questions as I am pretty excited on this new feed.

Dear reefers, Yesterday evening, I noticed I have some left over lumpfish caviar in my chiller, I have bought it quite sometimes back but never finished it cuz they are too fishy for my liking (Unlike Berluga, yum yum). Anyway, I do not want to throw it away and decided to try feeding them to my reef. To my surprise once the eggs are release into the water, the fishes start to go into a feeding frenzy (although I have just finished feeding them 5 minutes ago). Even my BTA, hammer, torch and rics responded. May I know whether anyone here have done it before and whether are Caviar good for the reef, will it be too rich (fat) for livestocks?

Dear reefers, Last weekend, I decide to shift my brain (Platygyra) to accomodate place for my Goniopora who is been stung by my ever growing BTA. So I placed the brain with about 1 inch of gab next to my ricordias. Next day, I notice the brain's edges started to turn white! I thought it was due to the shifting and thus did nothing. Yesterday, when I return home I saw half the brain was whitish and saw one of the rics fully stretched and sticking to the brain as if ###### all the "brain juices" away! I quickly remove the brain to another part of the tank. Has any reefers encountered this before? Are Rics really so aggressive? Will I still be able to nurse the brain back to health?

For me, I feel that pistol are a great addition to my tank, I like to see them re-docorating the rocks and subtrate. Also, due to there digging they will move and aerate the substrates. Another thing that I like about pistols is the symbiosis relationship it has will shrimp gobies. When you introduce a shrimp goby to the pistol they will both pair up. They pistol will provide shelter for the goby while the goby will in return be the eye of the pistol as most pistols have very poor eyesights. Anyway, I just bought another pistol from ML yesterday evening, the red banded one. ($16).

Really bro, it is possible to let us have a glimpse of it? Please....... All the while I thought they need low temp thus dun even dare to consider. Also, the impression I get is that lobsters are pretty big right? By the way bro, where do you get them and how much?

I have read somewhere before that female tends to be darker brown thus when we experience a unpaired maroon changes its color to dark brown, i will presume that it has changed to a female. But what baffles me is the changes of normal brown too orange for the male. I am not sure whether it is normal cuz can't seems to find much about the colouration of morphing maroon. Truly hope some experts here can help me.

Thank bro, I will double confirm my phosphate level. But I dunno whether it will be relevant to me cuz only the smalller male changes it color and the best thing is that the colour change coincide with the acceptance by the female.

Thanks Brother Fuel, Your link very detailed and chim too. :-P Cheers,

Hi Sis, USD7 is still much cheaper than SGD28 right? So I guess we should get from the states websites or in order to save time and delivery charges, buy them off the shelves when we happens to be in the states. Thank for your advises, I have read your posts and I know you are someone who is good with getting the best deals. :-) Hope to meet you in person one of these days. Cheers,

Is it true? So you mean the lugol's in Singapore is cheaper? I thought in Singapore we can only get lugol's from packaged brand such as Kent, WM, Tropic Marine which cost about $28. And I heard we can get pharmacy grade lugol in some pharmacy in US for a much lower price. Can advise?

Dear reefers, After I have successfully pair my maroon, I noticed the smaller one start to change its colour towards orangy rather than brown. It is happily sharing the BTA with the bigger female that is dark brown. I read somewhere that generally male tend to be in the lighter shade but what I have experience is the changes of colour. Is it normal? Can anyone advise?

Bro, should be pistol lah. Lobster lives in very deep and cold waters so will not last long in our tank too. I have the pistol you describe, not not free. Have to pay $18 for it. So consider yourself "heng"

Thanks for the info. By the way sis, where you get your lugols? You got those package for marine usage or those direct from pharmacy? Where in the states you got it from? I really hope I can get them direct from SF's pharmacy cuz from what I gather the saving is quite alot. Any comments?

Talk about terrorist. Both my Maroon and my Flame will periodically nip on my Gonio. Sometimes, I really dunno whether should we re-classify them as non reef safe or not.

Good idea! Maybe Sis, you can let us know the price so that we could order with you. By the way, I will be going San Fransisco in June, maybe I can get it too from the pharmacy there. By the way, anyone knows whether SF's pharmacies have any retrictions? I read that certain states forbid the selling of Lugol off the shelves.

Dear bro, Sorry to hear about your predicament. Hope you will be able to get it clean up fast. As for the peg problem, I have countered it by using those U shape piping. Ypou may consider it cus this way you need not worry about the hose flipping out of the tank.

Hi Bro, I am now using Aquaconnect 150w 14kk MH. When I bought the Zoanthids it is already longish, I have even tried placing it higher but it still remain like that. Dunno whether it is normal, what do you think bro?

Another angle, Ricordia Yuma, Finger Leather, Platygyra and hammer. Hammer not extending tentacle cuz I just shifted it. But came out after the shot was taken.

Red Macro Algae growing on rock. Can anyone ID?

Closer shot. 1 x Maxima, 2 x corocea sitting high up with my newly paired maroon and Flame angel.

Its been quite sometime but never have the discipline to get myself a DC to take pix. Anyway, hope you like it.

Hi bro, I dun have advise for you but I just wanted to say that by doing so much reading and research and humbly asking for more advises you already surpasses all of us. I know of alot of people who will just buy livestocks without even knowing its name and basic husbandry. I hope more people with follow your foot steps. Cheers,
