    in DIY Forum

    Posted

    Your hard DIY work has already make many reefers take notice on this frequentlly discuss lighting.

    Currrent commercial 'units' either not good enough or too expensive(the good ones). :ph34r:

    So your 'go further' will certainly make potential reefers to aproach you for possible lighting setups :eyebrow:

    Coralline algae

    I agree with Thomas Lim comment that once this coralline start to 'grow', at first it looks nice due to its purple colour shades.

    But as it started to 'appear' on more and more rocks, be it live or dead rocks. :sick:

    It also 'overrun' yr corals and 'cover-up' and kill the corals. :pirate:

    With that, I remove those pieces and scrap them away with a hard brush to limit its growth.

    Need to do this at regular times to prevent its 'wild fire' growth... :fear:

    Regal Tang nibbling on brain corals :(

    in LPS Coral forum

    Posted

    I also have this problem on Regal tang(or Blue tang). :pinch:

    When its ~2~3" in size, no problem.

    But as it grows, it started to nip at my LPS. :ph34r:

    More feeding will not stop them fr nipping.

    It especially likes zoas, brains & cinas.

    Thats why these corals will not 'open' with this #@% nipping on it. :angry:

    Only solution is to Remove them!!

    They are very smart, not easy to catch/trap them.

    What I did is to remove all the live rocks & catch the TROUBLE maker. :heh:

    Ways to save electricity bill for your marine tank

    in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby

    Posted

    With electricity cost per kilowatt going up ~21% and public transport cost going up starting 1 Oct 08,

    there are reefers who downgrade to smaller tank size or even stop their belove hobby for now. :ph34r:

    On LED lightings, this has being discuss on-and-off.

    But current Solxxx & Lumixxx LED lightings initial cost is very high. :shock:

    Looking at Ocean-light.com web site, with its lower cost compared to above two brands.

    Will Oceanuslight give some insight into your LED products??? :thanks:

    I tend to agree with SantaMonica's latest comment.

    My overflow box compartment at the tank corner.

    Its 4" square makes has ~8" wide of water overflowing.

    This algea grows due to limited sunlight.

    Whenever I clean it after ~2mths, its a think layer of algea.

    This maybe why my NO3 is always ~20ppm. :heh:

    So yr great ideal on maintaining a thin layer of algae helps in bringing down NO3 & PO4 :eyebrow:

    Replica Rocks

    Posted

    Hi there,

    I use it too with live rocks.

    As replica rocks shape is 'design' to look natural with careful selection on what you want on yr aquascape, its great to have them. :eyebrow:

    As it cost much $$ than live rocks, need to consider what you want before 'jumping in' <_<:thanks:
