Blueheaven's 4ft Tank

[flubberina13]

I checked in late...pray please tell me what skimmer yoou are using?

[blueheaven]

No la sis I was just picking a few pratas but too bad none fitted my taste (sounds funny when you re-read this line)

Anyway, how do you blanch the "pang chai"?

Can explain to me?

And I am using a RM Miniature Reef beckett

[Dispar_Anthias]

If i am not wrong you have to boil the pang chai first before putting into the tank.. that helps to break down the cellulose

aiyoh...at your signature, I still cannot see...

Skimmer looks good but beckett? Then I wun consider... Has a fetish for needlewheels...

Blanching?

Put the veggies into boiling water and toss it in water for a few minutes...no need to 'cook' the veggies...

Purpose:

1) Remove all germs/pesticides

2) Can freeze the veggies and thaw them before feeding.

3) Soften your veggies but yet retains its nutritious contents...

Hope this helps...

Hi Bro,

Try Brittle star. So far I find it quite effective.

I have tried quite a number of sand sifter and find that they are very difficult to keep alive (nothing wrong with my water parameter because all my other fishes are doing fine) and they like to dig very deep hole under your rock structure.

Baby Sea Cuke?

[blueheaven]

Would really consider brittle stars if they are not so UGLY

And i would not want to risk poisoning from a cuke

Thanks for the suggestions though

[that was niceeeee]

brittle star fish will mostly hide underneathe the LR so cannot see de..

Black sea cuke don't think got poison.

I'm still traumatic when my previous cuke got stuck between some rocks and spitted out its guts

I may try brittle stars instead

They have when they die... slightly not as serious as sea apple but still consider quite bad

sand shifting star fish and bristtle stars are two different star fishes leh...

[blueheaven]

Oh is it? That's the reason why I do not like to use common names as it can mean 2 different animals

Would appreciate it if you can provide me with a pic
