sorry, i didnt reliase that you also worry about blowing the cct (didnt read the post properly). i thought you just concern about the electricity bill but you're right, the first time a heater start, there will be a big spike and this spike will probably kill your fuse (although negligible on...

just wanna give an input here, i dont think you should worry about the heater switching on/off which regards to electricity efficiency. You should worry about the constant switching on/off when you have anything with motor running (Air con for example) because you need that extra energy...

i used to have a small clear bowl, the kind that you would put goldfish in. all i do is put it near where the fish you wanna catch hang around. you have to wait of course until the fish gets in the bowl, but i managed to caught it. putting in some food in the bowl may also help

i remember when the first time my buble tip splitted, it developed a second mouth prior to splitting. The second time it splitted, it sort of strecthed itself out. I cant remeber exactly how long the process was, but from memory it's probably the 1 day only. Hope this helps...

thanks Matt

wow, that's a quick reply danmhippo 8) water chemistry: no ammonia, nitrite and only a tiny trace of nitrate, SG 1.023, pH is 8.2. The other fish and all corals (fully expanding) are fine.

How do you classify between rapid breathing and/or normal breathing? howabout once every second? My ocellaris clown has around half an inch long white scratch on its body, not sure what caused this. It breathes somewhat a bit heavier and more noticeable than the other smaller one, which is fine...

will the fish die because of the parasites eventually if not treated correctly? The reason being is how can we be sure that it has internal parasites

just wondering, is there another way to get rid of the parasites, maybe medication that's reef safe? coz there is no Spectrum brand The Beak has mentioned down here

BTW that's a very nice tank Seawiz

thanks for the link galleon It's good to hear that there are mature tanks with DSB as the case with Len, Marillion and Jim because i have no first hand experience in keeping tank with DSB for longer than 2 years. However have any of you or anyone you know has a tank with DSB that actually...

What's the verdict on this? because lately i've been hearing that it doesn't work after a long period of time. Personally, i've used DSB the first time i started marine tank about 2 years ago and i never have any problem with NO3. but i'm getting a second tought now. If i remove the DSB, what's...

Thanks for the replies, As far as i remember it's not skinny (I've seen a skinny yellow tank before, with the ribs clearly showing) so i dont think the gut is "pinched". What's this internal parasites do to the fish anyway? And is there any other input?
