  1. Is this shop he same as pacific marine aqauaria which is located at the end of pasir ris farmway 2.
  2. Anyone got success keeping AT in FOWLR. Saw some at IWARNA for $75.00 Damn tempting lah.
  3. Yes skimming will reduce NO3. My QT is heavily skimmed by a airstone driven sander skimmer which gives me kopi o skimate. NO3 measures 15ppm. My display tank is also skimmed but with a less efficient skimmer which produce little skimate. Result NO3 >100ppm. Of course the bioload also plays a part. 1 fish in QT and 6 fishes in display tank. I am going to install my H&S soon hoping it will reduce the NO3 in my display tank.
  4. LCK 110 got lots of PT. All sizes and some really cute ones
  5. There are 2 main diseases that huants the aquarist most. Whitespot and Odinium (velvet) Whitespot is easy to spot, the fish is peppered with white pinhead spots about .3 to .5 mm in diameter. Odinium is a bit tricky to identify. View the fish directly when it is swimming towards you, if you can see a layer of thin whitish film on the fish body, it could be Odinium. If the fish is highly stressed, it my be infected with both Odinium and white spots. Fortunately, copper based medication will erradicate both parasites. Quarantine all new arrivals irregardless of what the LFS say. I have had good results with Seachem's Cupramine and always maintain a dose of .3 ppm in my QT tank. Hope this helps.
  6. Went to reborn/PR/SL today, Reborn - Usual philippine shipment, lots of coral beauty, gold rimmed tang and some regal angel PR - fire goby, some yellow tang SL - Lots of hawaii yellow tang.
  7. Yo bros, Anyone know where to get the above. flourescent light diffuser used for sump partitioning etc, etc. Thanks.
  8. Can use light crate or similar material to cover. Will not cause oxygen depletion.
  9. it happens. lesson learnt. cover the entire surface of the tank. Will get another bicolor after CNY and wean it to feed. Bicolor can be challenging to feed. I got the last one from Ah soon. He almost died of shock when he was netted from the tank in reborn but he managed to survive the odds until the fateful day when he jumped out of the tank and left to dry.
  10. Latest news. My bicolor is gone. It was eating like a pig yesterday evening when I came home from work. Later on in the night, I found him out of the tank almost dry. This is the third time and unfirtunately the last time he jumped out. He was able to recover from the last two incedents but he did not recover this time, his gills were beating fast when I put him back into the water and was gone by this morning. Lesson learnt, cover the entire tank, I left the part where the skimmer was sticking out on my QT uncivered and he jumped out from there. Really bang b@l*s
  11. for all the reply. I am happy to report that my bicolor is taking live brine shrimp and whole mysis shrimp . He will feed 3 to 4 whole mysis at one feeding. after that have to wait for half hour or so before he will start feeding again.
  12. Thanks for all the replies, after two weeks my bicolor is still pecking algae but eating very very small bits of mysis and flake. He has gone slightly thinner and I think he cannot last long if he does not learn to take more mysis and flakes soon. I am not gving up yet and is still giving him the best of care in my QT
  13. hi Bros, I notice my bicolor angel is pecking on the side of the tank eating algae. he takes only very very small bits of mysis and flake at times. Can he survive on algae alone ?
  14. I also have a scopas. the are rather jittery and darts around often even acclamatised. They are quite easy to get feeding but I am more worried about your white spot. Better get it under control or else it will spread like wild fire.
  15. Yo bros and sis, my bicolor not eating. He was interested in frozen mysis shrimps on the first day but show no interest in food on the second day. Now he won't even bother to swim towars the food. Fish still healthy no white spot. How can I teach him to eat ? This is my second bicolor, the first one went up the lorry after one week
  16. Hi All, Upgrading my skimmer soon and would like to seek forumers opinion. One H&S 110-F2000 can buy 5 Macro KS 100. Is the Macro skimmer 1/5 as good as the H&S or even better. Is there any fight at all ? I know that taiwan products are improving everyday and one day they will catch up with the best in the world Opinions please
  17. Please check your PM Thanks
  18. It is always hard to decide, I ever introduce two juvunile black poma into my main tank w/o QT and they got itch after one week and infected my flame as well. Eventually all 3 went up the lorry.
