Bro jetski250, not breaking but just testing. Feeding is twice a day and Amt in the past was like 8 cubes of mysis with flakes and pellets. Now cut to 1 with pellets or flakes. More hidden tigers Ard but they just don't post. Water chge used to be weekly and around 20l but now trying to see the effect of doing once every 2 weeks and see the effect. Somehow with lesser fishes, color is gaining for certain fishes. Hope this help.

Restarting after Ich and Brooklynella
Solo77 replied to Uptempo's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
Think is Ard 40 days if remembered correctly. No harm stretching abit longer to play safe. During this period, do dose bacteria and parazi, etc. Thereafter, stock up slowly and monitor. Best to set up qt for new fish in future before adding to main tank. -

Cost of Setting up a 2 x 2 x 1.5ft tank
Solo77 replied to spyglass's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Welcome to this hobby. For your budget, it is possible. If you want brand new setup, go to LFSes to ask for package price with detailed breakdown of items. Then do comparison. If you have an ideal of what equipment and brand you want, you can also try to ask the LFSes to see whether possible. Otherwise, you will need to source in the marketplace. Based on your livestock list, you might need to cater chiller. For your tank and cabinet, it will cost you almost a grand, plus/minus. That left around $500 which you need to think of sand, liverock, etc. All these cost you a sum of money. The balance amount will have no issue for taiwan branded equipment. For the wavy effort mentioned, you need a wavebox which is somehow different from wavemaker. Nevertheless, some wavemakers are about to do the trick with proper placement and quantity. For your tank size, MP10 maybe underpowered and the next model MP40 will be overkill. You might need to source for MP20 but they have stopped the model. Hope this help in your decision making process and all the best. -
bro, upgrading huh.......your existing one not enough huh.....

Nice job. By the way, the rocks from T95, u may wish to chk on how to remove parasites while keeping it alive. Their rocks are nice and good but at time comes with lots of. . . . Just be sure than sorry after pirating everything in and did yr scaping. Always feel good for new setup. By the way, have you thought of open concept sump rather than having too many partition which might restrict yr future chge, etc.

Recommendations for Chiller for 3-2-2 Tank
Solo77 replied to McNugget's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
For yr tank size, 1/5 is able to do the job. 1 Lvl up will be 1/4. 1/3 seems to overkill but if u got vitamin M, no issue. Factors to consider: 1. Size 2. Flow 3. Power consumption 4. Kicks-in frequency As mentioned by others, bigger powered chiller is bigger and requires higher flow. Power consumption higher especially during the kicks-start. Frequency of kicks-start will likely to shorten their lifespan. So must get the right mix. IMO, if got chance and money and knowing yr interests will not die off soon, Artica is gd investment. Otherwise china brand like hailea can do the job but gd to get external thermostat. All the best. -
Can consider using egg crate and plastic mesh to DIY qt box. I find better as more flow passes thr. Those off the shelves type somehow don't have good flow in My opinion. Cheer.

Yr list is rather challenging especially with AT. So far I understand those who succeeded either keep very few fish or they use copper. Nevertheless, it is still possible but luck will play a big part. Yr scraping can affect aggression. Personally open concept is likely to reduce aggression as notice territory for them to fight but one the other hand, not much hiding space. As mentioned by Larry, segment part of yt display tank for QT purpose. For emperor, personal experience is it get affected easily. However, it can be naught once stablised, thus challenging. The few local angel masters yet to come out and comment. They have their methods. In general, good specimen is required. Thereafter quarantine for weeks to months with treatment. Then introduce to main tank with "fence" and monitor. However, it can be deceiving. My Asfur was not showing aggression towards my macolosus and after releasing it, the chase slowly builds up and killed it. Do take note. Lastly, those popular lfses that do proper qt of their fishes before sending out to sell does not mean 100 % safe. Do note. In selection, feeding is one but alertness, boldness and curiosity are important. Observes that swimming pattern and gill. Many tell tale signs on the fishes. Hope the master can come out to give more proven advices. Be patience and hardwork will pay off. All the best.

Got risk unless all are parasite free but this method does work. Lol

My take is yr queen, blue and blue face last if u don't intend to Put more angel. Blue face can be agressive. If u want majestic, better put in first among other angels. My take is queen is nicer and smaller. So after yr queen, yr bigger blue should be abt to withstand. U might want to set a qt area within yr Main tank when introduce new angel. Do quarantine for a period before introducing into yt main tank as big Angels seem to have more parasites and infection when compares to dwarf. For pbt, some are terror. U will have to take yt chance. All the best.

Most hang-on will have small skimmer cup unless u don't keep that many or no fishes. Look at reefoctopus or deltec mce600s. All the best.
