  1. My tank is a 30L tank with 2 clownfishes, 4 trochus snails and 1 cleaner shrimp. Corals wise, I have a few small sps frags and softies. I usually do about a 15% water change and dose about 30ml of microbe-lift special blend after water change Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  2. Hello all:) need some help. I've realised that my nitrate has been increase quite a lot over this week. So far nothing has died in the tank besides some coral retracting. I've been adding in special blend each week during water change. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  3. I loosely wrapped it with some net like this to prevent snails from moving it! Sorry for the blur picture, my lights are off now Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  4. Thanks [emoji4] I wrapped some netting over it and some rock rubble. Will that help in attaching ? The snails were moving it about too much when they crawled over it [emoji23] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  5. Hello guys, I got this mushroom coral 2 days ago and it was half detaching when I reached home. It's currently curled up but still attached. No signs of bleaching. Will it be ok? Any help is much appreciated! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

  7. Received some green palythoa from a kind reefer[emoji4] but my tank is small so not much space for them. Looking to trade for some small zoa frags or do let me know if you would like to have them for free! Located in the west! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  8. Thank you for all who replied [emoji4] still looking for small frags like toadstools and kenya trees [emoji4] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  9. Hello all:) looking to purchase some simple beginner corals, especially the ones listed in the title! Do PM me if you are selling these corals or other beginner friendly corals preferably in the west! Thanks in advance! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  10. Thank you for the detailed explanation! Hmm these 2 fishes are the only fishes inside the tank! Just finished cycling so no other fish before this also tried using seachem metroplex with fish food just now, so will observe to see if it helps. Appetite wise still eating very well and no laboured breathing or anything. will update! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  11. Thank you!! Could I use medication like Seachem Paraguard ? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  12. Hello all! Wanted to check if my clownfish is having brooklynella. Just got this fish last week and it's been feeding well and is currently very active. I discovered it has some white patches near the tail but not sure if it's a disease. Any advice is much appreciated! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  13. Looking for chiller; preferably below $200. Please PM me if you're selling! Thank you! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  14. Thanks for the really detailed explanation [emoji4] is it therefore advisable to hold back on the GFO till there is a need for it based on the testing of water chemistry ? I considered using macroalgae, but given that my tank only has an internal sump compartment, I wasn't sure if the small quantity of macroalgae would help with the nutrients export:( I was also concerned with the potential pests that may come with it. Is there a way to eradicate pests from the macroalgae? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  15. Thank you for the clarification! [emoji4] since I can't add any livestock for probably a month or more, should I wait till nitrates hit around 40ppm to do my first water change ? And should I add in chemical filtration like carbon or GFO after the first water change ? Thank you [emoji4] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  16. Tested my nitrates again today and I realised a significant drop to about 10ppm! It was between 50 to 100ppm last week. I also read online that when nitrites spike, the nitrate readings on test kits will show an increase. So was what I was experiencing a NITRITE instead of NITRATE spike last week ?[emoji848] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  17. Definitely less worrying [emoji23] I guess now the nitrates are slowly increasing but since it's still awhile before I can livestock, I guess the tank should be fully cycled by then [emoji4] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  18. Tested the water again using the correct method today [emoji28] nitrates are around maybe 10-25ppm! Just to clarify, Is it possible to just test nitrates to know if my tank has cycled? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
  19. That's actually a really good idea! I think I should probably do that too HAHA. Learnt my lesson to read the instructions properly!
  20. Mine was cloudy for a few days when I added in the beneficial bacteria too! All the best!! May I ask which skimmer you are using? I'm considering whether I should get one after my cycle has ended:)
  21. Ahh right! Thank you so much for your comment!! I didn't even know that I was reading it wrongly! Are you cycling your tank during this period too?:)
  22. Thank you! Yup my lights are off during this time:)
  23. Thank you for the assurance! But it looks like I've been reading it wrongly for the whole time! I'll need to test it again and read it correctly this time
  24. AHH yes im using Salifert. Oh no I think I've been reading it wrongly then HAHA. Just to clarify after re-reading the instructions, I'm supposed to read it from the top right? But with the increase of nitrates, I guess I can assume that the cycle has started?
