    issit hard to keep a sea anemone

    I think its better if we can actually give the english meaning when we use words or phrases other than english so that others will be able to understand. Thats just my opinion. :)

    Sorry bro,

    Wanted to make a quick reply and thus forgotten to take it into consideration.

    Anyway "Wu Ta Wu Zhuang" means something like "Doing something without understanding / knowledge". For those with better Mandarin you may correct me if I am wrong.

    Worms in LR

    Hi,

    What kind of worms do you see in your tank? Do you have a pix? Most reefers now a days will try not retain whatever live attached to your LR unless it is Nasties (Pest that will harm your existing stock). If however, they are living harmoniously with your live stock - I would'nt loose my sleep over it. ;)

    If fact, I have a unknown crab and several unknown worms and some other nocturnal animals coming out at night after I switch off all lights. I believe this is what nature is all about and the reason of us getting LR instead of dead rocks. :D

    The problem with Anemone is not because it is difficult to keep but it is difficult to "keep it still".

    Anemones will move around searching for the best place to get food + light and sometimes, they might be suck into your filter and causes your tank to crash.

    However, I have some friends who "Wu Ta Wu Zhuang" still manage to heave them in they reef.

    I have 3 firefish, last night added another 3 decorated (purple) firefish. They don't bother my horses, maybe because, they are added very much later than the horses (liao chiao).

    Even during my daily feeding, the horses are the ones that show the fishes who are the bosses in the tank!

    Thanks again.

    LR how much should i put?

    NOT.. cured doesn't mean crabs, mantis and other pest do not exist... It just means its cycled.. There is no guarantee that pest wouldn't be bought together with the rocks..

    Dear Arcanehacker,

    With all due respect I beg to differ, cycled LR is NOT cured LR. I know there are lots of LFS that claim to cured their LR but in fact just throw the LR into a tank with filtration in order for the nasties will slowly die off - this is not considered as curing. Curing besides the above all means that we have to scrub the LR clean from all debris, in fact a perfectly cured LR will be white rather than having algae encrusting on it. During this process, all surface inhabitant will die off leaving only the beneficial bacterial hidden in the pores of the LR.

    Anyway, I was just expressing my views, I hope we can treat each others views and coments with all due respect rather than just cutting each other short.

    :thanks:

    wil the amount of LR affect the quality of the water? more LR can cultivate more bacteria right?

    Hi Sunnymau,

    IMO the more the merrier. But ensure that you get the better qualty LR such as Fijii LR especially cured ones. FYI Cured LR means that most Nasties (Mantis shrimp, crab) has been remove thus you will not suffer from future "unknown" losses of live stocks. :D

    Hope this helps. :angel:

    by the way what make u so sure?

    Hi Sunnymau,

    I believe your initial question is what is the HOT skimmer that is most value for money. And my recomendation is Aqua C Remora pro.

    However, I read that you already have a Prizm, my conviction is that since you already have it might as well use it and at the same time save up for a better one.

    Prizm is a decent skimmer, I have research about it previouly before and I also have a friend in US that uses it herewith is his comment: "Air tends to get trapped in the intake tube behind the flow adjustment dial. Don't get me wrong, the Prizm isn't a horrible skimmer for the price". Also Prizm is a product of a very reputable company (Red Sea)

    Besides, all of the above are just our opinions & experiences.

    Hi Sunnymau,

    If you have already bought the Prizm don't worry too much, it is still a decent skimmer (Trust me). Think about the days of our forefathers and you will know, in fact, my uncle is still using air driven Skimmer.

    Marine equipment is like all other daily stuff - there is always a better one out there.

    If I were you, I will still use my prizm but save up for a better one next time.

    Cheers,
