it is the most fierce too.. So be careful and consider before adding..

No problem...

Hi, I'm getting REDSEA MAX 130D to start off a marine aquarium /w corals, live rocks and some marine fish. I am a beginner in marine tank and appreciate if anyone can give me need some advice. 1. I am running on limited bargin, is it a must to get a chiller and wave maker for marine tank? Chiller is a plus point as you are able to keep temp under 28C.. Using fans is possible but it will evaporate a lot of water and you will require a top up system to replace the evaporated water unless you want to manually top up daily.. The fishes and corals will be more happy in a cooler water.. For Wavemaker, It is must if you dun have circulation in your tank.. It will help in water circulation and gaseous exchange.. 2. Aquamarin is selling REDSEA MAX 130D at $1488. Anyone knows is there a better price in the market for this system? Given the specs, I think it is suitable for FOWLR or softies tank.. The light is going to be very hot as it is PL so I guess a chiller might be need.. I am not sure if you can get a better price with custom making of a tankset of that size.. But for plug and play, Redsea is a good choice.. 3. Must i get a DI/RO unit? I got a Osim Upure which is supposed to removed chlorine etc. as well, will this do the job? Or can i treat the tape water with chlorine remover solution? Basically a DI is enough, I think Osim Upure is DI water.. DI/RO is to reduce the TDS in your water, the lesser the TDS the better.. I normally dun use DI/RO.. Hehe... Just tap water with Anti-Chlorine and leave overnight.. 4. I see in this forum, some shops actually do sell sea water, do i need the cycling process with these water? Yes, you will still need to cycle as there is bound to be die off in the rocks and going through the ANN cycle will be more stable as there is a substantial amount of bacteria to cope with the break down of waste.. 5. I'm on a limited budget of $2k, to set up the redsea max 130d, can i know are corals and marine fish epxensive? what are the price like? I need to do some budgeting. It all depends on what fishes and corals you are looking at.. Corals for cheap ones, you can go for zoas, mushrooms and yumas, although there are some very expensive ones... Fishes, do some research on the fishes before buying will save you a lot of money.. Bottomline, the brighter the color of the corals and fishes, the more expensive it will be.. IMO... LOL... 6. Anyone had redsea max? Can you share experience? It is diffcult assemble the parts? SOrry, No experience on this... 7. what common corals and fish am i limited to if without a chiller installed? I am quoted by AM over $2500 with chiller,wave maker, and livestock, and rocks. ... which is far away from my budget... Yes, you will be limited to softies and more hardy fishes like clowns, chromis and damsel?? I am not sure what brand they are offering you.. But $2500 including the tank? All is my 2 cent worth.. :blush:

:thumbsup:

OMG... It is damn tiring to bend down and work with my tank..

Since they are eating, no need to do anything further... It might backfire if they get stressed...

Yeah... But i guess the price will be sky high too...

I want this... This is really very nice Centropyge... Hoping to see it in years to come..

Most butterly will have long dorsal spines..

It would be the first colini pair in SG if I am not wrong...

The color will improve after it is settled down in the tank... Ya, But you rarely see them do the flashing action...

They seems much happier now.. And the ich seems to be better..

:thumbsup:

LOL... It is nice... Very difficult to find nice one with the blue part which is so defined...

Wild Nahackyi!!

As long as they recognize food.. It is fine..

Ask them.. I buy also.. But after tank is ready..

Maybe I can ask reborn if they can find this blue nox.. LOL.. Maybe becos it is Xanthic the color looks like it is sickly..

Wonder when will it reach our shore.. its seems quite affordable in US..
