Hi guys, found some weird stuff on my elephant ear this few days and multiplying. What are those? Sorry for the quality, quite hard to take a pic through glass Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Looks like this. Really seems to be eating its tentacles. Maybe i trying feeding it every alt day Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Ammonia near 0. Kh normally 8 to 10. Never really tested the others as im using jirehs additives. Not sure about phosphates also. What kind of scallop do you feed it. Those cooked frozen ones and how do you feed it? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I mean those pure distilled water. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Im using mineral water. Checked that and returned 0. Nt sure if its in the salt. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I switched off the wavemaker already as it didnt like the flow and always squeezes behind the rocks. Now that it shifted out, looks terrible. I don't have any suction for the anemone to commit suicide. Not sure how to nurse it back to health, i feed it rotifiers and phytoplankton 2 to 3 times a week. Do i need to feed meaty food and where do I get them? The shopkeeper told me not to feed market prawns. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Finally got a pic of it after i switched off my wave maker and it shifted. Seems partially melted Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

It was greenish with the bubble tips. Nw it always hides at the back. Nt sure because of all the water changes as im trying to bring the nitrates down from 50ppm. Every 2 days i do 20% water change but not moving. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Its always hiding and i feed it rotifiers and phytoplankton though. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Im using med powered lights. I do have a wavemaker and when i switch it on, the bta hides at the back. Also, i feed it a mix of rotifiers and phytoplankton. My tank has a nitrate spike some how and not sure from where. Ammonia is at 0. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Is my bta sick or something. Always hiding behind the rocks and looks like half of the bubble tips seems minimised Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I read online that flakes might make them like this also. Giving it lesser in case it bloats its stomach Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Ok. Normally i wash the filter then squeeze it and put it back lol Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I put the tang in a small tank and put some medications cos it has a little white spots also. Might just be sand as it was always lying on the sand bed but just in case. Nw like no more white spots after i took it out. Dosing praziquentel mainly. But also acriflavine, malachite green and formaldehyde. Its nw balancing but nt swimming upwards. Still feeding though. Might put it back after another 4 days as thrs a bigger volume of water in the main tank. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Ok. My tank back has a mid section full of those coral chips and volcanic rocks or something with 1 white, black filter sponge, 1 bag of amophos and 1 bag of activated carbon. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Probably about 70 litres. Normally i change about 12 litres of water but dont make much difference. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I put my tang in a quarantine tank nw as it always swims sideways and cant balance itself. Just got it like 1 week ago i think. Was lying on the sand bed then i took it out on case the cbs eats it. Anw its still really small. The test kit always shows red. So should be about 50ppm. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

What was your before and after nitrate level? I do vacuum the sand but not sure if any dirt is coming up. Either i set the suction to high and it sucks alot of sand up or low and not sure if any dirt comes up. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I do have quite a lot of livestock in the tank but i don't think that would be the reason why the nitrates doesn't drop. I feed once a day. But sometimes i will throw just enough so the cbs is able to take some of the pellets. Else it will start attacking fishes. Sometimes i will take some roasted sea weed and put small pieces piece by piece to let fishes eat. I do have very fine grain live sand and rock. The wavemaker and fishes sometimes stir the sand a little. Running a protein skimmer. Water inside is always green nowadays Chemical filters using jireh amophos and activated carbon. Also using jirehs additives. So nt really sure what is the problem. So far made 2 water changes over 3 days. Still at 50ppm for nitrates. Thinking of using a small hangover refugium with chaeto to control it. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Only measured ammonia and nitrates. Ammonia near 0. Nitrates sky rocket. But I'm running jirehs amophos and activated carbon in their tank Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Seems to be able to use for marine. Unless its giving me false readings. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

What are the fastest or best way to remove nitrates? Mine are around 50. Even with alt days changing of 20% water. Some of my fishes have fallen ill. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hmmm. I seen a video with some guy storing water in a drum with some algae before Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi, Anyone has chaeto to give. Preferably in the north area. Thanks, Shawn Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi, Do you guys store salt water in a drum with power head? Was thinking of storing it like that with chaeto and then using the it for water change when needed. Thanks Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
