  1. Wow, current so strong it didn't manage to settle in a location? don't sound good... Usually we leave it alone and it will borrow itself to somewhere safe to rebuild its tube...
  2. Ya I believe too, imagine you have to stretch your body down and across the tank to place the live rocks careful on the below and back... Very stressful for your back Anyway I think should be fine, your tank should be near to 200 gallons - should be big enough for the livestocks to live peacefully...but filtration is another factor
  3. If you want really soft sandbed, can even try Grade 0 sand
  4. Very nice tank! Very sweet indeed because of all the reddish-pinkish... Bubble_gum like the 2 colors most I guess
  5. It mainly feed on organic food, detritus and algae that it can find on the sand. So there is a need for a good supply of sand that it can feed on. If your tank is big enough for both the starfish and cucumber to co-exist, should be alright. But IMO, better to buy only one of them first, see how well it is doing its job. No point buying both and found that they don't have enough to feed, then you will end up having to supplement their diet
  6. Best to leave it alone, it will build a new tube based on the debris I think
  7. Not a bad choice These snails consume detritus and algae...
  8. No need liao My friends and I decided to cheong there tomorrow instead since we are not working
  9. Sea cucumbers will expel internal organs when attacked or feel threatened, and these are toxic to your fishes. So if you are keeping them, be sure not to have any fishes or inhabitants that may pick on it.
  10. haha, then we must be very lucky to see her. Anyway quite a good range of marine livestock there. I still remember Coco worm at $18 only!
  11. Hi all, Anyone knows if LCK 110 and CoralFarm will be opened this coming weekend? And the operating hours?
  12. Thats the problem I can't recall. It is a month ago but I am sure the sea cucumbers should still be there because lots of it then. It is quite a new setup, not Iwarna definitely. My friends and I can only remember a young pretty lady at the cashier maybe that will give you a clue
  13. hee think you posted in the wrong category because this is a Fish-Only category. Then saw you mentioned for corals. IMO, it depends on the type of corals that you are keeping. SPS does best with MH of course and the rest can do well under T5 too. Perhaps you can decide on what corals to keep first, then judge the lighting they need. Fishes dont really require good lighting but I do notice personally that MH makes their colour more outstanding... never regret buying mine
  14. You can read up information about corals from either www.liveaquaria.com www.livemarine.com Both gives you a good account of the requirement for keeping them and their temperament.
  15. Sea Cucumbers - although abit dangerous. Snails - certain species, eg. bumblebee snails, nerite snails, etc. Starfish - Sand shifting starfish, etc
  16. That look nice too bad I don't have much luck with mushrooms although they are undemanding. I have better luck with polyps
  17. mm...I have my star polyps for months and recently added a MH 150 watt and shifted the star polyps to a new location on the same day, start opening immediately. Maybe try placing them in the middle level of the tank
  18. hee tagging on this thread since it mentioned about epoxy. Just curious for those who have used this product, just want to know: Is the bonding very strong? Well, you see, what happen if the piece of coral glued start rotting for some other reasons in the future? Is it still possible to remove it before it starts contaminating the water?
  19. Yes, the toxic released are dangerous to fishes. However, if your tank is made up of peaceful inhabitants then it should not be a problem. In ocean, sea cucumbers release their internal organs which are toxic when they are attacked or threatened by predators and they will eventually regenerate their organs. But in tank, most likely they cant recover. If your tank has fishes that will typically pick on feather dusters then maybe the chances of attacking the cucumber will be higher, eg. butterflies and angelfishes. Frankly these are from my read-up, I have not kept them before and I am also interested to get a very small one to clean the sandbed.
