ya I tried the FW dip also... and got rid of the nud but it will take a long while for zoo to recover and gain back the color...

actually I thought the first piece I bought was bad one so I got another to verify. It was opening very nice yesterday when I put it in the tank....but this morning started somking and never want to open again.... looks more like decaying...but how come so fast do you guys have this problem?

clean off as in push them to swim cos blocking me from cleaning the alage thought the scooter will take care of them seems like I need a mandarin will they fight?

Hi, do you have this issue? should I "clean" them off?

notice the glove coral is "smoking" in the morning and body is changing to darker color... polyp not open...

any lyretail anthias?

yes..MH & T5

how to tell it's dying? sigh my blasto also up the lorry... don't think there's a soltuion when this type of coral feel like dying.

bought it for 4 days but only a few open half-heartedly .. not as good as when it is in i-aqurium's tank.... any advice to make this coral happy?

any Marble Sea Star or double sea star sighted?

Haaa ... it should be with me ard a month liao or more... will PM you to collect my lunch in June if it ever make it! btw this is one "life-hard" two spot... jump out from the main to the sump (beside) on the first day and survive in my tiny refugium for 3 days agree it's hard to keep ...maybe I should change "worth keeping" to.... Worth trying very hard to keep

at last added 2 fire goby and no fighting I think basically fire goby and two spot are two different type... at least they look different will prevent them from fighting. ya two spot not easy to keep.. but luckily this one quite comfortable in my tank maybe got lotsa space to hide...especially under the big prata and squamosa! most importantly no threat from my crazy ex-yellow tang But I find this two spot a VERY good fish... really clean up the sand bed n no sand throwing.... worth keeping, highly recommended.

sps crab...what purpose does it serve? when I got my sps, it came with 2 crabs. One yellowish hairy little crab and another blue/white crab.

as long as rio can do the job and if it last long enough, factoring in replacement cost and electrical bill, to bring the total cost down when compare to pressure-rated pump.... why not?

3ft

wow that bad... just 2 days difference already cannot make it....

have a small two spot in my tank and thinking of getting two small fire goby. Will they fight?

gouldian, thanks for the feedback on rio10hf! thinking of getting it to overdrive my urchin skimmer but can't find any review on it. how much you pay for it?

which LFS has both fire goby and purple fire goby?

not doing well meh? seems ok to me on Sat

understand salifert is one of the recommended brand... is there any other trusted brand? how about tropic marin? pls advice

have been using tropic marin salt all the while but since I started to measure magnesium has never gone pass 1300 convicingly. lately try out coralife, just changed about 20% of water and mag has hit 1500! one up coralife! and ....tropic marin.... out the window!

how much roughly?

I always get 7.8 or lower when measured with salifert and hardly hit 8.0 no matter how I add the reef buffer. Finally salifert used up so I tried tropic marin and another brand the result is 8.2. Is salifert a bit out? do you encounter this?

every bought a small orange/green at $20 from irwana
