    Butter Trade Coral & Fish

    in Swop Shop

    Posted

    Hi hobby reefer, I’ll like to expand reef collection through trading the following... looking towards brighter color zoas/sps range or smaller reef safe fishes. Knowing my species is at lower value so will do some top up...

     

    1. Green Zoas - 10 cent size with a small baby.

    2. Green Muchroom - at least 20 cent size.

    3. Fox Face - big n fat 7-8cm. Reduce bio load.

    DIY Chaeto + Algae box

    in DIY Forum

    Posted

    Guess a video speak clearer than words, below it is where it start showing from mini dc pump (capable pump 3m high) till return to tank...

    1. If power stops pump will not push water upward and no siphon effect as above pipe wasn’t under water.

    2. Only supply pipe may chocked and reduce water flow so no issue. Water return at much bigger opening.

    Only issue would be leakage at the joint between box and transparency sheet where it must be well sealed and design for manipulated flow. My recommendation is not to go with the water fall. For me just wanted to challenge my vision.

    Aiptasia Removal

    in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control

    Posted

    After a month, the aiptasia (single small bud) came back at same location... in the tank and in the mist of zoas. But haven’t seen it spread else where.
    Tried Salifert Exit again on both locations and it vanished. However zoas colony seem to be affected by this solution and has been weak/close for fees days now. Guess better way is to introduce peppermint shrimp on the next round.

    Thanks for input. I have made some move to remove the aiptasia as per below link. Guess peppermint shrimp might be better way forward as new aiptasia came back at similar spot...

    Quarantine Tank - Hospi Tank

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    Introducing my 20 litre Hospi Tank setup since Oct 2020, 2 mths plus.

    1. DIY RGB 5050 120 LED/m 3 strip light connected to wifi smart switch.

    2. DIY thermoelectric chiller connected to temp control set at 26 to 26.5 deg.

    3. DIY - Chaeto in isolation box where cooled water pipe blow into.

    4. Small filter unit that comes with tank.

    5. Bacteria flower rock as landscape.

    6. House blue damsel n snail since then.

     

    Verdict :

    1. Light still not bright enough. Next round will try RGBW that consist of white led.

    2. Chiller max can go to 24 deg. Great for Hospi Tank.

    3. Chaeto is growing so that’s a good sign.

    4. Small filter unit quite useless. May go for uv filter unit next.

    5. Flower rock looks & working good. Keeping PO4 & NO3 low.

    6. Power consumption for this tank sits avg 1.1kwh a day. So month equate to 33kwh which cost about $5.60/mth. Compare to my main tank with Hailea 28A sits at 2.5kwh daily equate to $12.70/mth.

     

    Not expert here so feel free to drop comments here. By the way, is it a must to add copper solution in QT?

    Aiptasia Removal

    An account on how I removed Aiptasia among zoas and in the tank...

     

    IMG_4008.JPG

    My zoas mini colony was shrinking and there are 4-6 Aiptasia among them. Brought copperband and house together with zoas in QT tank but it didn’t work. Running through forum, learned that zoas can survive in freshwater but not the aiptasia... so I drip them into RO water for about 15 to 20min and place it back to display tank. All aiptasia are gone and after about 4 days of recovery, the zoas is back to it glory! Yea!

    One Aiptasia was visible in my display tank and so I try out the “Salifert Aiptasia Exit” and it works well even though some oversea reviews says it isn’t effective... When the needle touches aiptasia and it’s about to close, I injected 1ml of solution and immediately it shrink back. I can see the aiptasia struggling and it did not open again. A day later, it’s gone. Had monitor for last 5 days and it hasn’t appear/multiply elsewhere. Glad it works!
