hi interested in a small one preferably. give me a call.. 92413518 jon

hi interested in getting a regulator. any brand for aquarium use. jon

HI as above. thanks jon

HI i am interested in getting some sps coral frags and clams. maximas or croceas. not derseas (cos they are too big). please pm me. thanks jon

does anyone have one of these lying around gathering dust? would like to get one. or can someone tell me where i can get one of these? thanks. jon 81484014

those tentacles mean either one of 2 things. it is either an antedecent to RTN. Or it can be under chemical warfare with another coral. Sometimes its just a transient thing and not to worry. in any case...just wait and watch bro. jon

hi if anyone has any of this model can you please contact 93833725. willing to pay up to 170 dollars for good working condition. thanks. jon

hi looking for the following things. hopefully in reasonably good condiotion. 1. chiller either cl280 or 450. has to be in good working condition. 2. MACRO AS150 with the needlewheel pump. sms me if you have them. 81484014 thanks. jon

great looking tank bro...looks like all the shit u went through finally paid off

great looking tank bro....ur attention to detail is great. i think ur parents insistence has made you to strive to make the tank look so neat!!!!!! however if possible to try to shift your automatic air freshner on top somewhere else. don;t think its good for your tank. great work anyway . potential to look really nice...take your time. jon

hi loster.... i hope not to offend you or anything but i think the lights do play a part. high intensity lighting does promote algae growth. especially if there is a change from a lower levels of lighting. and you are rite...trace elements such as phosphates do contribute significantly. jon

hi guys... are they pecking on ur LR??? if not is they any algae for them to peck at. make sure that there is ample hiding places for them plus some algae. suprisingly i have read that the dreadful hair algae is one of their favourite foods. jon

the birdnest is one of my favourites along with the purple monitpora digita and also the green stylo (i guess i am just being carried away here!!!) please update us the progress bro. really liked ur piece there. jon

hi bro, sad to hear that your sps is not doing very well. don;t worry. they are like that. tendency to develop RTN are more likely for things like hysterix. Once the signs develop there is usually little or nothing that one can do to reverse it. However if your sps still has some pink bits left, why not frag it and leave it at different places in your tank. its still a hit or miss thing but IMO worth trying. jon

hey think your tank is almost complete in terms of equiptment eh? congratulations...maybe the last step in a RO unit and a calcium reactor. btw the nitrata reductor is not simple plug and play device. requires constant monitoring...think u should invest in an ORP.

hey jervis, looking good...keep it up. jon

dear jervis, great to know that you are taking so much effort to remove the unwanted critters.. i didn;t do it before i added my LS. It was really a headache to remove them after that. your effort will certainly be rewarded. jon

hi jervis, i said that things seem to be going too fast cos i saw your plans for adding LS by next weekend...well its not really a bad idea since the 3 footer is pretty big and would be able to buffer your LS from you NC. but its just after that sit back and relax and let things run for a month at least before putting in new things. sometimes the best way to cycle a tank is to sit back and relax and try to forget that you have a tank for a month.. (pretty hard to do when you have it staring in your face) just my little experience. jon

hi jervis, things seem to be going too fast. Only reliable way to cycle tank is time. jon

beautiful

dear jervismun... your tank's looking good. congrats... just a few things wanted to point out. I don;t want to get into the complex subject of DSB or plenum. but it just looks like you have chosen to have have a rather shallow substrate. Its either that or there is a recess below the tank where the rest of the sand is hidden. a shallow substrate can give problems as collecting deritus. However if a DSB doesn't turn you on...(personally i think the deeper parts can look ugly over time) try to put at least a depth of 2 inches. With at least 2 inches you can achieve oxygen poor areas of the sandbed under the rocks. I believe you would be able to achieve a more stable water chemistry with this. jon

hey the cheato in comparment 8 is a good idea but i think you should try to hang your old PL which you used for your NC on the back surface vertically so that the entire plant receive the light. jon

well said BFG...... thatz the essence of using an underrated product for a bigger tank. Seems cheaper initially but ridiculously uneconomical in the long run... jon

dear jervismun, as for the transfer of LS...i think you should plan it properly. Its difficult to exlpain how it can be done step by step since only u will know your setup compleletly. But as for the ideal situation....it would be best to set up ur new tank first then add a bit of your old sand plus the new substrate. Also add about half of your old tank water and new saltwater. REMEMBER THAT YOU WOULD kick of your ANN cycle. you could not be able to avoid it. However using the elements from your old tank would certainly help. transfer your LS stage by stage if its possible ( read patience) Whatever the case..if you decide to hurry things up , to be on the safe side...i will buy a large quanity of Zeovite....to absorb the ammonia. the last thing you want is all your LS dying on your in your new tank. jon

thanks a lot nic a jon... welll its still not fully opened up yet. yeah i heard its very hardy but need to wait i guess. i don;t want to change its position too often cos i think it will stress the coral .would probably change its position after a few weeks. jon
