I have tonnes of them. From what i see online their one form of copepod
-
Must up abit first ma. Some algae here and there i dont mind but if house visit quality must up abit hahahahhahaha meaning normally you nvr maintain ah
-
Wiah house visit i stress. My maintenance must up first before sharing with other people. Loltime for house visits!
-
Another way is to increase copepods population. They do graze on them. When my population of pods increase i notice my diatoms go down. Specially at night when they start feasting. By morning i dont see much diatoms. Unfortunately from what i saw online diatoms decreases the reproductive rate of copepods. Give and take i guess

Damn.. thats a damn good idea! Shall try it tmr! Haha
all the best. You will feel dam good specially when you see all the detritus get suck up and when cleaning the canister filter. One thing though the canister will stink quite bad
-
Another alternative which i use is to get a canister filter and fill it up with all the filter pads. Use a turkey baster to flow all the detritus from the sand and rocks while at the same time use the suction end to suck up all the debris. The return end go back to main tank. And if you want to be 100% sure you can get all the debris can put a filter sock at the return end. At least by doing so you can take your time to completely rid your tank of detritus before doing a water change
-
Maybe what u can do is get those external breeder box and put your zoas inside after a good dip. This way higher chance for those in the tank to starve out and easier for you to monitor the zoas and pick out any visible nudibranch

Wow thats commitment right there.Hmm.. Not sure if I'm doing it right. But what I do is to set my alarm for every 5mins. Then everytime alarm rings I use my test kit syringe to add 1ml of water. I will do this for 1-2 hours. Usually the first few shots of tank water would cause the be fish some discomfort. But after awhile can see that even 2ml doesn't affect it anymore.

Hi all, was wondering if one big clump of chaeto is better or should i split it into two for better nitrate consumption? My logic is more chaeto ends = more growth = more nutrient absorption
-
Cause i scared the long journey from the fish shop home might cause a drastic increase in temperature. So i prefer to float bag and drip at the same time to help reduce as much stress as possible to the livestock.Why don't drip first then float the bag later to acclimatise temp? I'm not running a chiller so my drip temp not that different from tank temp. Lowest I got was high 26s using a fan which I run from 8am to 9pm. Usually it's about high 27 with the fan on
Good ideaI would just float the bag in the sump...& connect the drip tube from the display tank to the sump
. Can combine silentlurker diy and your idea. Nice!!!!
-
Careful when u handle them. I punctured mine while holding it...luckily it manage to recover
-
Maybe can use dosing pump hahaha
-
One question the metal valve wont rust?
-
Got any diy tip when i wanna drip acclimatize my lifestock while they are in a plastic bag which is floating in the tank?

How nano?? Freshnmarine sells overflow boxes
-
Normal way just use thinner fishing line.. i used to use them to catch catchfish at pungol end haha
-
No choice must make bottled popsiclesWat if chiller spoil.. I dont have spare chiller how?
-
Maybe you can consider having a skimmer and also polylab bio sphere..i use to struggle with 10-20 ppm nitrate...but after putting the bio sphere infront of my skinmer last week my nitrate gone down to 5ppm. A number i used to not be able to achieve...
. As for now dont give up and continue with daily water changes and also get your biofilter set up! Soon enough things will get better -
One more thing what about your water temperature?
-
Do daily water changes of maybe 10 to 20 percent. Whats your filtration system by the way? Also i suggest not adding any more lifestock into the tank before you find the root of the problem.
-
Why not try yellow tang? Mine help me with my red bubble algae...hair algae brown algae...almost everything he eats except green bubble algae
-
In the end no contrast only see stripes swimming around lol...to add on my sand also black. I love black, but too much can be boringThey still have white strips ah...
-
