It walked around, very fun to watch initally. Then get very aggressive when comes to feeding time, fight for food, very "excited" then topple my corals.
I've a 2028 currently in use but will let go once my I~Ref is ready. Estimated about one month's time.
The 2028 pro II is less than 2 months old.
The ceramic rings brand new.
Blue colored filter brand new.
I will throw in one bag of unused zoolite which is bigger bag than the one that came with the 2028.
The whilte filter already used so you need to buy new one.
Asking for $100.
I wrote to the online shop to ask for shipping cost but haven't get any reply. Hiak, have to write again. End of this week is thanksgiving I think they will be on holiday.
Currently using the canister filter and will be removing it gradually as my refrugium is ready.
Currenty main water circulation is done with the canister output into a rain bar, can see the corals waving gently in the water. Secondary circulation done with a SICCA NOVO tune to the lowest 25% output.
Had installed a I~Ref and using a Wei Pro 500 pump which is rated for 600l/h. However the water flow seems like super slow like that.
Once I removed the canister I will need a pump to take over the circulation. I end up with 3 pumps in the tank which is kind of messy.
Thought of getting one more high flow external pump like the ehiem 1250 or 1060 (which is rated for 1200l/h and 2280l/h respectively) for to replace the 3 pumps . Then by using T-joint and ball valve to control the flow into the I~ref and for water cirulation. As the pump is external it will help to reduce a bit on the heat too.
The problem I can think off if the pump breaks down then totally no water circulation in the tank.
Please give your opinion.
that big change will definately stress my poor fishes.
Dosing of kH buffer in progress, will take a few days to get it up to 10 dkh. Let's see how it turns out.
MH off and left actinic on, then saw my two skunk clown there and the skunk shrimps "cleaning" them.
Thought of getting one or two cleaner shrimps to add to the tank. Is that advisable?
Thanks for the advise, I got the 480mm long one.
Will be getting rid of my canister filter once I get the I~ref run in.
How long do you think I should let this transition period last?
Going to install the I~ref tonight. Already bought one bag of #0 sand. Just like to know how thick I can add the sand.
Can I fill all the way so that the sand depth same level as the overflow compartment? Will that cause any problem or the depth should be a bit lower?
Measured last night. Not sure if they are fine especially the dkh. I've already dose and increase the Ca to 420ppm.
Carbonate Hardness = 6 dkh.
Ca = 400ppm
NH3 = 0ppm
NO2 = 0ppm
NO3 = 5ppm
PO4 = 0ppm
All measured with Sera testkit. Most of them left over from my FW tank so just use until finish.

Anyone tried this website? It says that will ship anywhere with UPS service. Perhaps we can pool and order together to save on shipping.
I've two of these skunk cleaner shrimps.
one pair of pink Skunk Clownfish and 2 other clownfish and some corals in my tank.
One of the pink skunk clownfish kanna ich and always swims to the cleaner shrimps and then tail up and head down. The clean shrimps just ignore the clownfish. I thought they supposed to help clean the parasite from the fish?
If I buy somemore shrimps, can you recommend a better shrimps to buy that will clean the fish?
