Still clearing. Still about same amount left.
-
given 2 pails of size 1 corals to a nice buyer. But I have forgotten that I have 1.5 pails still left in the toilet!
corals chips are from my sump which leaked months ago. Took out and never put back so the corals chips had dry up so no bacteria anymore.
Pls bring yor own pail for these chips.
1/4 cheato of 5 feet tank left. Live Rock left about 40-50 kgs (60-70% taken).

Live rock with me for any years and no worms or any bad creatures becuase undergone special treatments.
I never feed my fishes many years so there must many live food in there.
Buyers can have some of my cheato which is cultivated at top layer above the rocks. But depends on kgs of rocks for cheato amount.
Selling $3/kg at Jurong West. SMS me 96354369.

I wanna sell Live Rocks S$3/kg. The live rocks have been with me since more than 8 years. When first bought, it was gone under many processes to kill off any worms or living things in the rocks in order to have a clean system. So there are no bad bristle worms or mantis shrimps. I have not been feeding my fishes since 3 years now and they still living OK. Seems these rocks have grown lots of small living things inside.
SMS me 91084963 to schedule time. Pls bring your own pail.

Your lighting too strong liao....2 x T5 is good enough if you are using ATI tubes...I believe yr tank height is 1ft plus, right?
Coz i bought a 4 x 24W fixture from a brother here last week and i switch on all 4 tubes for 8 hrs and when i come home, i saw my LPS corals like brain, echinata and acans not too happy...not opening up as usual and they vomit some stuffs...sign of stress.
So, when i switch on only 2 tubes, they are much better and expand like wat they usually do.
LPS like hammer, frogspawn and octo can tahan 4x 24w...thats y, these you can place right on top.
But for blasto, prata, cynarina, brain, acans and echinata...no need strong lights.
huh? 1 ft? I think this bro words are very correct. You can also lift up your lights a lot higher to reduce its intensity.

I suggest to let the nature takes course.
They will chase each other at first to tell the others who is the leader.
After a few months, they will be in a group.
If you quarantine them, they will become more fierce.
It happens to lots of my types of fishes but after many yrs/mths, they became good mates in the tank.

is my lighting hours okay?
thanks
My eyes goes beserk after seeing these time tables, LOL.
I like your moon lights but I always have no time to install one. Now I gave up, LOL.
Isnt moon light is for night and when the sun is down?
The light is only 4hrs so it is considered too less. Suggest you to schedule it to 6hrs on/off. 15 mins before main lights off, moon light is turned on and moon light turns off after main lights on for 15mins.
I suggest refugium to have 13hrs on or follow the schedule as the main tank.
At night, the nature's water chemistry is different so it is better to follow that: maintain all lights in the main tank and refugium to switch on/off at the same time. If you have too much algaes in your tank, better to have some decent flow of water or you can use the skimmer as an aeration help. This is because at night, the bacteria and algaes produces alot of CO2 and consumed O2. I have used my skimmer to boost the O2 level instead of skimming for many many yrs. If no skimmer, perhaps a small air pump?
Hopes this helps.

Bro reeftask,
How many hours should I switch on for the blue and white lights respectively? In the past, I had white light on most of the time, and I noticed my corals such as gonio and mushrooms would bleach ...
Well, I dont have much experience playing with 2 different lights.
I use MH 20k on main tank : 6am-12pm and 6pm-12am. Sometimes my hand itchy, I prolong another half hour on each.
Another 3ft tank and 2ft tank were having blue and white lights. Both switches same time.
I think it doesnt matter which colour should on first but matter of how much light does your corals need. So just switch both on together at the same time will do.

how to kill them these alot of it bout over a dozens it funny i using dead rock and there no LS as well currently
how to have bristleworms but it only happen after i introduce market prawn and left it for one day then it becom like this anything related to decompose prawn anyone face this before or even what kind of LS feed on it
lots of living creatures lay eggs and sticked to the live rock. When you re-cycle this dead rock, you are also helping to make these eggs alive again. Theory is about the same as brine shrimp eggs.

ya i know but consider of glow coraline algea on it own but do u think of adding copper will cure the problem pls share
adding copper will kill all algaes and some living creatures in the live rock. The worse, this live rock will be contaminated with copper forever.
-
hahaha ya I agree but seriously have anyone raise them in src before?
how they do it man hehehe food is also one problem haiz
hehehe
:eyebrow:Yes, few in src did raised them. But only max a few weeks, LOL. But still considered good success. If I were them I will kill them in 1-2 weeks, LOL.
If anyone success many times to raise them to adulthood, can be a farm owner as a career. Furthermore, success in seahorse means a lot in this marine trade. It is one of the hardest raised fry in marine fishes.

How can I vote? I only change when they choke up.
Sometimes 2 weeks to 20 weeks or more.

Hi reefers,
I have a 5ft tank with fish, LPS and softies, with 4x80W ATI T5 tubes (2xwhite, 2xblue).
Is it possible to have 2 lighted periods of 4 - 4.5 hours instead of a continuous lighted period of 8 - 9 hours? As it gets really hot in the day, I was thinking of lighting the tank in the mornings (7am - 11am) and evenings (6pm-10pm).
This would also be convenient for me to feed the fishes before going to work in the mornings, and back from work at evenings.
Any thoughts if this is detrimental to the corals?
Yes you can. Im doing that. But seems that your lighting period a bit low. I maintained 6hrs on/off timer for many many yrs and corals still growing. In fact some nobody seen before.

you must do your homework.

Look at his signature. I think he is already selling them frozen....
he does trading, not culturing.
he is not active since so long ago, so.....

looking for this interesting fish.. yellow-faced jawfish
it'll bury itself under the sand right?
issit common in LFS?
was at CF last week, they do not have them...
any special characteristics of it that i have to take note of????
if the tank height is high away from the sand, it is still ok as they wiont able to jump so high except if you buy an olympic jumper.
-
whats the rule of maximum fish and minimum LR??? haha... so an average gauge of how many LS can my tank hold?
"the maintainability and effort to keep them healthy would probably erode your enjoyment"
hmmmm.... its tougher to keep them because the tank is considered small and any slight changes would affect the fishes easily? haha...
the rule? you have to do your homework, surf the net find out. I did that several yrs ago, not going to dig for you, LOL.
All I can say is eg: if the net says min 2 lr/fish, just follow. well, you cant have too much lr in a small tank and water also too less.
a 2ft tank is just nice for new comers but the real problem does not lies with the 2ft tank. New comers always tend to be impatience and overstock.
-
Haha... exactly the same size as mine. Found it hiding under the liverock a few years back(Chewing on my baby blue tang!). So i catch it and pour hot water on it!
only hot water? Better cut it like sushi, then put in fresh water, then in the sun, .......
-
disagree , alot of our fellow reefers managed to get their horsies kickstarted on frozen mysis
Agreed.
If my sh dont eat frozen, then my frozen mysis might be frozen live mysis?

hi guys.. i like sea horse alot but my tank temp is 31. im not using a chiller and fan. is there any to keep them? do they eat pellets?
discus fish likes 31C

woa bro red devils cool man didnt know this last time I kept them all in a net
then suai suai my stupid snowflake eel went and bite and makan buffet
hahaha but hor I once saw aquamarin keeping the seahorses fry with the dad at katong
inside a Styrofoam box hehe
:eyebrow:alamak. you see aquamarin do that, you want to follow? LOL.
Its like a car park illegally and all cars follow. Then all summon together, LOL.
Better see advices fro seahorse.com as they are pros.
Even LCK110 has failed in getting those frys grow after their so many yrs in seahorse experience.
Breeding seahorse is no joke. It needs full time work and money.
WTS old matured Live Rocks.

THX adrian. seems u are one of the nice guy who have taken some of the rocks. enjoy it. mine started to grow coraline fast after I have shifted the leftover chaetos to one side. As I do not like coraline algae covers my rocks, I have to get rid of them fast or re-spread out my chaetos to cover the rocks again.
