Thanks bro for the elabration. I'm doing my best to save the last tang...gonna add Praziquantel into the main tank. But will have to remove my caron and worms first... Recently, I had only added a pbt.(qt for a week). The Naso and sohal had been with me for more than a year from another holding area. And the only other outside material added will be the tunze epoxy.. Thanks again...best of luck to the fish...

I did some research before, and usually, its due to the following reasons; 1> Nutrients 2> Lightings 3> Flow Nutrients from your water tape (Water change), or dead fishes. Hence, most of the time, PO4 and NO3 will be high. If you experience high readings due to this, water change will do. Lighting regime happened to be my problem recently. I had 18 hrs lighting regime. RED slime algae, bloomzzz. After reducing to 8hrs, the problem had subside greatly. Flow is also another problem. Too little flow can result to that. CHeck your wavemaker position and adjust them to ensure good flow throughout the tank. Hope this helps..

NO3 - 2 PO4 - 0.03

How can you explain, when u dont find ich on the YT/BT/NT? - ICh had killed them?

Another Sad sad sad Morning greeted me. 3 of my beloved pet passed on due to the recent unknown event. YT / BT / NT - You 3 will be remembered. They were the strongest that had survived even worst condition before. Their passing brought along mulitple ?? ..HOW? WHY? - AMMONIA Spike? - Epoxy poisoning? - Bacterial Infections? i had checked parameters immediately. NH4 - Zero NO2 - Zero PH - 8.25 SG - 1.025 This however fortunately didnt affect my 2 lovely True Perc / Yellow Wrasse. They are the smallest, and yet they are fine. Sohal, my remaining Tang, is in an ich-attacked state, with numerous patches found on its body. What could be the reason? Yes, i had not done any WC recently, As NO3/PO4 is okay. I had did 2 minor rescapes, with also epoxying some frags of zoas to the rocks. 3 x Epoxy each Rescape. - Could this be another cause?

didnt expect such result.... They were still actively eating before that. Just tried feeding pellets, didntt even touching any of them... If i flood now, it will only dirty the tank.

What a start to a new year.... After doing another round of rescape last night, PBT is currently in a very bad shape, with multiple markings and numerous ich spot found on its blueish body... Its not even swimming actively, and is resting side by side to the rock.... The stronger Sohal wasnt spared, and its the 1st time i find so much ich marks on it... All this becos of my rescape... My bad ...

my settling, 27~28

The JBJ ATO doesnt seems to work! I m using Mode A, with Sensor 1 in the Fresh water reservoir and Sensor 2 in the Return pump area. Sensor 1 will be 1" above the ATO pump, and is much lower than Sensor 2. If water level in the return pump area drop below Sensor 2, it should start the pump and top up till the level is above sensor 2. But it didnt work! Both Sensor1/2 indicating lights were on, but the pump just wasnt kick in. Sensing this might be a faulty pump issue, i switch to modeB, and the pump works... Problem problem problem....

Did minor rescape yesterday for CNY expoxy the Zoas frags onto the rocks! Pics will come later!

upz for cny eve!

Nice zoas collection! and Nice Naso!

YUP, sunflower

Imo, adding Sohal now is okay. Provided, its a larger/stronger/healthy fish. As its very aggressive, it will be able to fight for territory and food in your FOWLR. Best is, QT the new Sohal, then once its stablised and feeding on the food you are throwing, add it during lights off. Thats the best strategy. Your tank looks long and wide, good for sohal to do its "Sprint and e-turn" stun! My few cents opinion for your consideration.

Yea Desi, i agree with Poo. Better see whats the condition, then bring "Gems" on another day.

Ya, i know. Just Venting some frustation. LOLx Its very irritating...neither here nor there works... Is it easily irritated by swimming fishes?

Yea i will Oni. Been dosing like feeding babies with milk powders. LOLz Reading for Flowerpot corals - 1 Reading for Flowerpot corals - 2

freak! How come my flower pot doesnt open like all yours!!! Argh!! i need to make it more mad tonite with lotsa high flow!!

Im guessing that you will probably drop by office to change water over the long CNY.

QT Seems to have contacted RED-SLIME-ALGAE. Checked the parameters, and PO4/NO3 were very close to 0. Hence, i m reducing the light-on timing. Reducing from 12 hrs to 8 hrs. So far, the only moving fish, Clown Tang, still enjoying the waves and the algaes 3FT As for the 3Ft, everything was okay, accept for lower KH (6+/MG 1100+/CA 290+). Now, im working to increase these parameters. Flower-pot LPS Been trying different postions, like karma sutra, but cant seems to able it to stretch itself like most LFS. Probably is due to the lower parameters (KH/MG/CA)

Thx! Its nice, but diff fish to keep. But trust me, practising QT increases the survivability rate of "hard to keep fishes"!! This beauty PBT is one good example. Im trying a clown tang, so far after 3 days, still happily playing with the wavemaker and eating pellets. This time, im gg to QT for 2 weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Preview of the awesome 3!

Upz for a wet wet wet monday

Haha...I'm feeding the bigger fishes with mini pellets...the way they chase and eat was damn cute!!! Later, I try mysis...I bet they need more solid food!
