  1. thanks guys, but as i am leaving for kl and no time to watch the tank, i decided to remove those rocks that have black patches instead, rather then risk it henry next month gonna have to go ur place get some more probotics to dose, luckily i still had 1 last packet from the last time, so i used it on my 5ft to aid in cycling
  2. i got a rio hf32 to let go at $70, if u wanna use a internal pump u can use his, if u wanna drive it externally then use iwaki or resun
  3. ok i just did a search on google, limited info but there is one that says to clean this black stuff off asap as they are dying organisms, if not they will turn the water turgid, bingo on AT's answer thats y AT is DA MAN
  4. ya, managed to save all my corals, but lost 2 of my mandarin, 1 neon dottyback, 1 firefish, 1 banded brittlestar, a few nasa snails, 2 yasha gobies and shrimp combo and lastly my priced all 8 clapping shrimps. what i learn from this is never assume the worst wont happen, infact my gravity feed chiller was to be there for just another 2 weeks then , i will start transfering to the new 5ft, but just too bad, lucky now my new tank is a flood proof tank, maximum flood the tank will ever see is 20l of water, all safety checks from sump to tank already in place
  5. Hi guys, yesterday the unfortunate happened, my 3.5ft old tank flooded as there was a power trip caused by my refugium t5 light, and my chiller was using a gravity feed so all 400l of water flooded the whole house , then as i was trying to save the LS and LR and transfering to my new 5ft i notice some of the LR have black areas, usually places where it was stack and covered by other rocks, what is this black stuff? should i keep these rocks or dump them? not the entire rock black but just small parts of it, by the way these rocks were initially dead rocks from yrs ago and has been running in my 3.5ft for 4 months since i came back into the hobby
  6. use this to make your life easier http://www.drhelm.com/aquarium/areajava.html
  7. actually the most possible reason y they mount it inside is because scared of itchy fingers , of which spore has alot, last time when my car was fully decal, within 24hrs got $%@%$@%$ start peeling already
  8. wts a Rio HyperFlow32 for $80 , used only around 2 months then change to Sicce, after which now i change again to OR running externally, very powerful pump but can only be used in-sump, perfect condition , come with box, interested sms me at 9745 9977
  9. will the tangs peck at it? look like red bamboo, anyway upz for very red n nice fish
  10. i using reef bugs, duno about pods buts corals open damn big when u dump in a fresh supply of reef bugs, i know there is a population of amipods in my tank but i just cant see them, i only realize because now i am in the process of aquascaping my new tank, so the other nite when transfering my rocks from old tank to the new , i saw a amphipod corpse (quite big) floating arn
  11. CL650 for sale, can chill my 500l tank with mh , but i advise smaller water quantity would be better . selling for $250 , viewing in tampines during weekends or weekday nites, contact me at 9745 9977
  12. oh btw henry is the owner of marine life, at west coast (hong leong garden ) he dont sell many fishes and corals, mainly cleaning crews and some other fishes, but dont expect to go and see tons of variety of fishes. but he knows his fishes well , so u can expect to get good healthy fishes from him
  13. thats y its better to get those that can feed on prepared food, but feeding habits of mandarins are they feed constantly throughout the day, but i only feed my tank every alternate days, so far so gd, been keeping them for 3 months already, little humming helicopters
  14. ya henry got nice mandarins, i had 1 which i thought was gone as i din see it for 1 week, then henry told me to get his mated pair which are already feeding on henry gourmet and he still fed them to show me, after adding the new pair, my old 1 which i though was gone came out and now he also eating henry gourmet, suggestion to get mandarins from henry, btw i am not advertising for him, as mandarins are ver finicky eaters, its better to play safe
  15. finally tomorow i will go and collect my new sump and irwana will deliver the nsw, so i can slowly do my aquascape using lr from my current tank as base before going furthr
  16. well since i have the compartments for it , no harm adding more surface area for bacterials, coz i will be having lesser lr in the tank due to 3 sided viewing
  17. welcome back bro, knew u be back for sure with that corner beside ur door,
