You will get some hitchhiker (I feel they are good ones). 1. RBTA - rose bubble tip anemone (attached to the rock) 2. GSP - green star polyps (~ 10) 3. Coraline algae It would be great if you can come today 8pm - 10pm cause I am running lights, chiller, skimmer...etc for the RBTA. ha ha... Please PM me only if you are really keen and can come at the above timing. Thank you.
  3. Update... Fishes collected... Once again thank you all for the response. Yes, the poison is powerful. Mod, you may like to close this thread.
  4. Apologise for the double post. (Actually, I submit once and got internal error. I cancelled but the post still appear) ha ha... Thank you all for the response. I did not know these fishes are so popular (I always thought they are so common that nobody will want). I must apologise as I am not going to be able to get back to everyone that responded. Sorry...

  8. Dear reefers, Looking to sell the following items as a set/package sale due to upgrading
  9. Got it from Madpetz and I remember that it has 2 size. (Hopefully my memory still good) suppose to screw on but my return outlet doesn't have screw threat. I DIY hose to connect.
  10. Price revised. Item 1 - Aqua Zonic Super Bright T5 - $30 Item 2 - Aqua Zonic T5 - $10
  11. I don't know the name. Some kind of nozzle. It will rotate and change the direction of the return flow. Works like a wavemaker powered by the return pump.
  12. This crab is amazing! It clean up the live rocks of nuisance algae with great efficiency. I have a new problem! Where to find nuisance algae to sustain its diet?
  13. Last time I measured the nutrient level were health but nuisance algae (eg bubble, cyano...etc) still exist. I guess the algae is helping to keep the parameter in check. Ha ha... I did changed a new batch of rowaphos. Recently, changed salt mix from Red Sea coral pro to DD H2Ocean Pro. Also changed to new DI resin from madpetz (TDS:0). Removed all my cheato from sump as they are not doing well(color fade). Top layer of DSB hardened(like rock). Added (NP) bio pellet reactor. Shorten 2 hours of the MH. Reduced feeding from twice to once a day. Dosing NoPox. The cyano seems to reduce but could not totally get rid. What else can I do? Should I get some macro algae?
  14. Suddenly having these layer of brown stuff appearing on the LR. Can anyone ID what are they? I can blast them off with a turkey blaster. It is least before the lights come on. My tank is about 7 ~ 8 months old. What is it and what should I do?
  15. My 2 cents worth... I am using a hang on back overflow (skimz). It had never broke siphon (for me) but had observed there were air pockets inside the siphon area. Managed to remove the air pocket before the siphon was broken. How did the air get in there? The water entering the overflow box cause bubbles to form. These bubbles got trapped in the siphon area. Resolution? I raised the water level in the overflow box by reducing the water leaving it (turning the knob) above the durso. Doing so the water entering the overflow box did not create bubbles that could enter the siphon area. Thinking this solved my problem? Wrong this was when the nightmare began! Apparently, the water flow leaving the overflow box was lesser then my return pump flow. This did not happened immediately but over some time. (Maybe my return pump powered up) It happened when I'm not home. You know what happens next... Yes... Flooding! What next? Determined to make the overflow box work... I tried other way to stop the bubbles. This time I added a net(like a fish guard) at the water entrance to the overflow. It helped! Unfortunately, I did not secure it and it floated away(again when I was not home). Fortunately, it did not cause flooding as it needed many hours before the siphon is broken. Long story short, I am checking the overflow box twice a day to ensure it is okay. (Free of trapped air) Conclusion, drill hole in your tank for the overflow if you want peace of mind. Btw I am still using the hang on back as I am already used to it.
  16. I guess as long as you don't put 2 female together, it should be fine. If you put true and false clowns, they may still mate.
  17. Anemone hosting... The anemone is only 3 days in the tank!
  18. Saw some post where people just insert and air tube. Of course the other end must not be in the water. Maybe you can try(if you an air tube lying around).
  19. New gadget for the return... Just could not resist and bought another clam...
