    Hagen test kits,

    PH Test Kit But mine says 4 drops. They wouldn't make different test kits for the same subject, would they? However, I rarely tested PH and have no PH metre either. I only tested the NO3 occasionally. I 'll test the Ammonia, NO2 & NO3 when I start a new tank, otherwise nothing else. IMO...

    Disaster in the Refugium

    Dear Bradreef. Apart from those fish & shrimps mentioned there were some sort of macro growing on two pieces of live rock. If the water got screwed up why the main tank was not affected (touch wood)? Dare not put anything that swims in the refugium for the time being

    To cycl or not to cylce a Q-tank

    Thanks, your advices are really helpful! So I'll start setting up the Q-tank after work and wait for 3 weeks until it is fully cycled. I'll come back to you helpful guys and report to you about the firefish in the Q-tank. Good luck to you all. Jimmy

    To cycl or not to cylce a Q-tank

    Dear experts, Got beaten up with the setting up of a Q-tank. Like to set up again for the 3 firefish. Currently running a HOB filter since 1st May. Just a few questions from a newbie:- (1) Could I just pour the water from my display tank? (2) Should I have to wait for 1 week or so before...

    Failed Again

    Fail Again Thanks Red & John. Actually I handheld to the fish to the Q-tank after the acclimation, and I think I didn't have any LFS water transferred. I didn't feed until the morning of Saturday with a few frozen worms. Seeing it didn't touch the food I siphond them out and did a 1/4 water...

    White spot on the Coral Beauty?

    Sorry to tell you guys that the fish couldn't make it, it passed away last night after struggling for 2 days. Just couldn't figure out where and when things went wrong. From what I recalled: he was carefully acclimated when arrived. Stared eating after 2 days, no signs of diseases until my...
