  1. I am also amateur in this area.. in layman term Asexual reproduction can be formation of new individuals from the cells of a single parent. below graphic explain diff between Asexual Vs Sexually production... Cheers
  2. Try this.. I believe GO still have them.... Probably call Shan for info... another forum/forums/index.php?showtopic=15106&st=75
  3. Thanks.. Yes.. it is Maxima... now ~3inches+.. being keeping it from baby ~1 inchse size.. Cheers...
  4. base on my understanding, beside flow rate deficiency, we also knowing green algae potentially exhibited asexual reproduction especially under stress environment.. If we allowed them wild grown overlapping each others. Under layer which lack of light expose might need to rely on asexual reproduction.. also decaying in long run.. all these may resulted water parameter swing.. Just my hypothesis.. Cheers..
  5. I am using 1/4 HP (Model DBE-200) with Eheim 1250 for my 3ft tank.. So far look ok... except need to clean the pump every 3 to 4 month.. cause I am using the eheim filter at pump inlet.. I found the chiller efficiency drop via debris build up trapping in filter wool... my temperature set to 26C... otherwise so be safe... In other words depend to our tank sizes and heat induce in our tank also critical... try to calculate using chiller calculator supply by JBJ... Add more buffer to your input so that we will not under estimate the chiller output.. http://chiller.jbjlighting.com/prod_chiller_size.asp for eg., Cheers..

    Calcium Reactor

    probably try balling method.. easier to setup..... come in 3 channel or 4 channel type.... Or you can try to DIY by using dosing pump and timer... Cheers..
  7. If grown in your overflow.. Is your lighting above your overflow? if yes then I believe your one should be normal green algae.. Is ok to keep it.. good for nutrient export.. is actually something serve like "Algae Scrubber" function.. I have that on top of my overflow too...Sometime, I spotted nice algae in red color as well... but you need to trim them once getting thicker... otherwise, will become reverse function.. and may result your flow rate deficiency.... Cheers...
  8. ic.. probably diff overflow concept.. I only siphon top part of overflow.. cause have some netting and wool in between to prevent fish jump in that area and also filter out debris... therefore I only need short stick at the end part.. may be for your case need longer.. Cheers
  9. Here is the fold able partition, just like lego concept.. you can add/remove or even odd shape.. see whether suit for you.. you can get this from C328... Cheers..
  10. For sump I am using motor pump type siphon as pic below.. after that using the mini siphon as finishing.. Cheers..
  11. Thanks for sharing... Actually I did search for you clementi hardward shop, Woodland 888 and Vista point and West Coast area. they only sell grey and white color pipe... Just notice your main objective is looking for something to siphon/cleaning purpose.. I am using mini siphon below for my top part of overflow and sump... the tube slightly bigger than air pump hose... you can reach any area you like and yet flexible...I found quite effective and cost less than 2 purple notes.. Cheers...
  12. Ya, better remove it... I saw this previously in my tank... I suspect they might hurt Zoas in long run... cause whenever they appear some of my zoas closing the next few days.. therefore, a bit suspicious... not sure whether they release anything causing zoas irritation...Cheers..
  13. learning newthings today.. Ya, looks more like Hydroid.. Thanks Terry for sharing... Sakura, Some info share here.. They posses sting capability.. not so safe.... http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-10/sp/feature/index.php Cheers..
  14. If anyone looks for OD dia20mm x 3ft length transparent. C328 still got tons of them... Cheers...
  15. Most likely not Aiptasia.. seldom see Aiptasia growing team together so close like showing in pic... and also can spot some of them got tube in between... anyway, clearer pic will help... Cheers
  16. Hi, just back from C328.. Saw one smaller size 22x15x16 (~8.6"x~5.9"x~6.2") on the front rack. ~1red + 1 purple note. Good Luck.. Cheers
  17. Try get those fold able partition. You can fold to the shape and size desire.. I will snap some photo tonight.. No way to introduce aggressive tang directly in different time. They will fight to dead.. Let them sometime to acclimatise each others without physical contact.. Cheers..
  18. Looks like baby tube worm or coco worm.. is it hard shell? pic not clear... anyway, both are filter feeder... reef safe... Some info from wetwebmedia below: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/feather.htm Cheers..
  19. Hi, How big is your tank? If is big enough, probably get some acrylic sheet from LFS. Partition them and let them face each other via acrylic.. also add some mirror to confuse them... Must react quick b4 your fish get hurt.. Base on experience Purple tang is much stronger than YT and BT.. He is nervous due to new environment.. Let them uses to each other before introduce.. And try some live food like brine shrimp or mysis shrimp to build up his confident.. Cheers..
  20. C328 should have.. talk to Auntie if not on thier display panel.. She can help you to order or check stock in their store.. I got from them something like in pic below (10" x 6" x 6") Cheers..
  21. try this link.. Lots of diff mantis species here.. not familiar with Mantis too...your mantis possible still juvenile... but not advice to keep mantis in reef tank... http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/crustacea/malacostraca/eumalacostraca/royslist/index.html#directory Cheers..
  22. 1. Check your KH (probably KH at low side), if ok move to step 2 2. Check your salinity (probably SG too high >1.030), if still ok.. then step 3 3. Check your test kit calibrate with someone else test kit... If everything ok, then just carry on as normal.. just slow down calcium dosing for the moment...and routine WC as usual.. Cheers..
  23. If your tangs like seaweed.. Probably, try this one "RAW Seaweed" if happen to shop Jusco JB.. I feed my tangs with this as well... I found very cost effective and net.. come in sheet form will not loose out and contaminate our tank.. with less than 1 purple notes.. Cheers..
