if got budget and space can buy from US online santa monica ats, if no money go taobao search, but the lights included is most likely cmi, the light wattage i tink depends on ur bioload and feeding schedule, i currently using 45w light. go youtube check out diy ATS, if u good at DIY, can copy.. if u bery free also see how they explain fuge lighting, really need strong light lah, otherwise how to outcompete display tank light lol...

for cheato also depends on light and spectrum and area of exposure, get those blue red grow lights, and higher power one, also try max out ur cheato exposure by spreading across the surface to max out light adsorption since cheato always float to surface. this is for fuge, if u going reactor route should have no problem Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

just my opinion, both works, depends on the light, i got ATS but with cheapo lights growing dark algae, shld target light green color, once i change to better lights, the growth really good, can see photosynthesis overdrive a lot air bubbles on screen Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi fellow reefers, Need some advise regarding phyto. Anyone dosing live phyto to your display? does it help? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

not so sure about coral beauty and flame, my old bicolor angle will terrorize brain,scollies, clams zoas, very reef unsafe haha, i think you have to take some risks with angles, also read b4 they are reef safe 1 day and become crazy the next. it depends end of day which is your priority, fish or coral..

Can some senior reefer help me ID this anemone? sorry for poor photo quality Thanks!! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

can just buy or wait other reefers give u cheato, will have free pods included haha Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

anyone tried reef nutrition tigger pods，tried 3 times but all disappear, very inclined to believe the “myth” is cold water species or need special diet, i put in fuge so not possible predation. unless u tell me all jump into pump and go back display Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

i tot brine shrimp cant survive in reef tank, my aim not for live feed, just to add some “activity” in the fuge lol Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

i have pods liao haha thinking of adding some mysis Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

hi reefers, Any idea where to get live mysis? intend to put some in my fuge. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

quick update my phosphate drop from 0.469 to 0.144ppm, just after few days of half dosing nitrophos minus, but cant really conclude as i started dosing red sea abcd ard same time, means iron is dosed, so its either the nitrophos minus really effective or the dosed iron effect...anyway i stop both dosing both for now and will monitor Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

hi reefers, any good glue to recommend for mounting corals, using BSI now, but seems cui, cannot 1 shot 1 kill need try multiple times despite put a lot. Anyone tried pure aquatic glue? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

not sure leh, the nitraphos minus say if nitrates less than 2 phosphate higher than .03, dose 1.5ml/100l anyway i dosing half dose see see first. maybe they got add some other stuff, anyway the LFS told me customer switch to this from NoPox got +ve results Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

about 4weeks, anyway i started using aquaforest nitraphos minus, will update if see improvement Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

i just put the rowaphos in filter cup after the overflow, need to put low flow area? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi reefers, Anyone can advise on why my nitrates is low but phosphate high, currently no fish in DT cos running fallow, Fuge growing cheato and caulerpa nicely, is it possible macro need certain amount of nitrates for it to lower phosphate?? Currently trying rowaphos in filter bag, but seems no use, no space run reactor, any other methods of phosphate control? Nitrates : 0 phosphate: 0.4-0.5 Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

btw ur minimax running wat? if run pellets for export den no need macro bah Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

no need so fast add cheato, no nutrients the cheato will white, i kenna b4, just test and water change to maintain Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

better wait at least 2 weeks to stabilize tank before adding new lifestock, u got test ammonia? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

hi fellow reefers, anyone tried this filter floss before? any comments? abit pricey but if can polish water good probably worthwhile Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

oic thanks for sharing! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi fellow reefers, Just wanna know what your thoughts on drip acclimate process. Been diligently doing drip acclimate for new arrivals but find it counter intuitive as temp cannot match DT temp after drip for 1hr as sg temp too hot. so far i no longer drip acc for corals and no issue yet. trying on inverts several times also ok, but i measure salinity to ensure it match. Haven try on fish yet though. right now i just float bag 30mins to match temp then immediately throw inside DT. Any thoughts? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
