Hey I noticed something today... strange.... my purple firefish is more aggressive and is attacking my maroon clown whenever it gets close.

...... 1st time i see firefish so fierce.....

my purple firefish got mood swings!

at times it just goes about on its own,

doesnt bother who is around him...

but there are times i saw it chasing those fishes that comes near it...

wierd...

This is indeed strange. They are not known to be aggressive unless to its own kind. I used to keep a pair, switched to the red ones, and now I plan to keep them again.

*faintz* waah rhizo garden... :) They look really beautiful! haha

on second thoughts, they are much easier to keep than sun corals or even supersuns. coz u only have 1 to feed. supersun typically have 5-10 heads to feed. and sun coral has... err... 40-50 heads? :cry:

Actually, for Super Suns or Suns, it doesn't matter how many heads they have. You just have to feed one head if all the heads are joined together and that will be sufficient. Typically for my suns and supersuns, I just use Henry's Reef Gourmet (HRG), mix with water, suck the mix into a 50ml syringe and then blast them over the sun and supersuns. The tentacles will extend and grab the food. :eyebrow:

As for Rhizos, they are easier to feed. I don't feed them with HRG. I buy the silver fish from supermarkets and then just place 1 fish into each Rhizo. 50g of the fish can last me a couple months already...and it doesn't pollute the water as much as HRG.

From a reefer here, mkt rate lor...

Btw where can I find this silverfish? Paiseh Im not a grocery shopping kind

NTUC/Giant/Sheng Shiong should have. It's a type of white fish, small and long ard 2 inches long. Price at Giant was $1.39 for 100g when I bought it. People at RC actually feed their Rhizos with prawns, mussels, salmon etc. I think prawns and mussels are actually cheaper but quite troublesome since u need to deshell them... :eyebrow: But I think NTUC sells deshelled prawns so maybe next time I will try prawns... :whistle

Thanks! Will go check them out tmr. They don't pollute the water as much as Henry?

They pollute the water way way way way less than Henry. Whenever I feed henry, I have to make sure I feed very small quantities each time and continue feeding only after what i put in has been eaten by my fishes. If I feed too much, then my MCE600 will overflow immediately and it continues to overflow with bubbles for the next 1 hr plus. :pirate:

If you feed your Rhizo daily, just take note that a small Rhizo like the two on the left in my pic will eat at most 1/2 of a fish per day. The 3 larger ones that I have will eat up to 1 1/2 fishes per day. This was based on my own testing when I wanted to find out just how much they would eat before they reject the fish. I find that when my Rhizos are full, they will bloat up when u place the fish at their mouth and blow the fish away... :rolleyes:

Damm...my suns and super suns are still not opening up yet...

The LEDs. Total 36 nos. 18x White and 18x blues.

closeups

Silly me and Dr Evil. Did not remove this film when we did the PAR test.

So I guess the PAR should be higher than the 150 MH with this film removed.

Hey u got any idea which LFS might have Rhizos that are green or red in colour? U only got 1 Rhizo currently?

How often do you currently feed your rhizos and suns? Just to add on, I fed the rhizos 1/2 a fish in the morning and 1 fish at night when I was doing my trial on the rhizos...the 2 smaller rhizos did not feed at night while the 3 larger ones only ate 1 fish each. Anyway, right now, I'm feeding the rhizos 1-2 times per week and they are open practically all the time... :P

Surprisingly though, it seems that the rhizos are more hardy than my sun and super sun. 1 week+ without feeding and my sun and super sun are close to dying while my rhizos are still doing fine... :evil:

The 2 dc fans to cool the heatsink.

The side also has grilles to assist in heat dissipation.

I am going to mount this using my Giesemann wall mount bracket and kit.

so will still be hanging this over my tank.

But I guess I can bring this as low as 5 cm above the tank :P

Just trying to visualize:

      BITCOIN FRAUD / CRYPTO & RECOVERY EXPERT / CONTACT WIZARD WEB RECOVERY

      It's a hard lesson to learn, isn't it? Putting your trust and hard-earned money into something you believe in, only to have it crumble before your eyes.

It wasn't just about the money; it was about reclaiming what was rightfully mine, about restoring a sense of justice in a world that felt unjust. And they came through. Against all odds, they managed to recover 90% of what I thought was lost forever. It felt like a miracle, a second chance at getting back what I had worked so hard for. But it was more than that. Wizard Web Recovery became more than just a recovery firm—they were my allies, my support system in a time of crisis. Their impact went beyond financial recovery; they restored my sense of trust and my belief in the good that still exists in this world.
