Kikobananas Marine Tank

[pokmingsheng]

Bro nice collection of fishes you have there. Any plans on upgrading soon? your 2ft tank looks like getting abit overcrowded with 2 Tangs. How's the bioload coming along?

nope... no plans as yet...

cant sustain the maintainace and equipment of a tank bigger than 2ft cube...

still studying, getting very little income only.. haha...

maintaining my NO3 with AZ-NO3...

thinking of using vodka to maintain NO3 after this bottle finishes...

looked around for the smallest BT and YT i can find already..

but i know eventually they will still grow big..

i'll see how by then.. haha....

[pokmingsheng]

He has most of the fishes that I want minus the tangs.

my purple firefish is the "oldest" fish in the tank..

been there with me since Day1...

got it when it was really small....

survived the first ich outbreak many months back,

still as strong as ever.... haha..

Flame angels are 50-50...

[jackywongto]

Flame angels are 50-50...

cannot afford to take the risk.

cannot afford to take the risk.

Well, I've seen people whose Flame Angels never ever bio their corals and i've also seen people whose Flame Angels suddenly go coral crazy one fine day and when that happens there's no turning back...

[yikai]

actually they are more reefsafe than 50-50. around 70-30. but still, u never know

I guess if you feed them well, possible that will reduce their tendency but feed well = high bioload.

no no for nano.

that means if I get one , 30% it will end up in Peter's tank lol

one of my cleaner shrimp is MISSING for 3days already!

whats going on?

now the other one is all alone.. haha...

they used to be so irritating together whenever its feeding time,

now that one's gone, i notice that the other one doesnt go crazy during feeding time anymore...

could it be dead?

if so, why cant i find the body?

and what would have caused its sudden death?

all my other LS are doing quite well...

so i found it wierd that i couldnt find it on sunday...

3 days passed, still no sight of it...

If your cleaner shrimp died in the rocks, it could already have been eaten by your other cleaner shrimp.

oh... so cleaner shrimps will also eat up dead LS?

[teebs]

oh... so cleaner shrimps will also eat up dead LS?

Yup, they are also scavengers. In fact all marine fishes and shrimps will eat dead LS. To them any dead LS is just an extre source of food. My prata actually ate one of my clowns that died recently...
