Yes, proper way to introduce the fish is to climatised the tank temperature, water parameter and to let the fish see the surroundings so that the fish will not shock

Very neat DIY.

Should be ok to use cheapo UPS available in the market as the harmonics produced by the UPS is not strong enough to damage the wavemaker pumps because the pump motor used is small type and in water. I think use airpump should be ok to circulate the water in the small tank for short period.

You can turn the skimmer on when dosing bacteria, unless you do not want too much skimate. Anyway excess bacteria will be skimmed if you switch on the skimmer later on.

Good if there is a sump so that you chiller input can be from there to remove any debris entering.

Also depends on your tank heat load. You may have MH lights, less efficiency pumps in the water or out of water, wavemaker, skimmers etc that will bring up heat and require higher chiller capacity.

Yes, 25 pcs is too much for 1 ft height. My 3x3 is about 129pcs

This is normal. Some substance in the mix take a bit of time to dissolve.

I have been using red sea pro for many years. Cheap and good.

I think I'll start again my water change. Have not done water change for the last 8 months.

DIY is fun, but the hassle is no fun.

For those using MH lightings, use this to automatically swithc off your MH lights when the temperature reaches unsafe limit. It would be a cheap DIY but will save you the hardship when your chiller breakdown while your MH lights are switch on...

Do frequent water change, try to handpick those from the coral. After a while their numbers will be much lesser.

Pretty nice...

Nuke using coral FX, or other brand also can. The crab sure lorry up...

The chill time depends on the water's heat load.

If any sand particle stuck onto the cleaning surface, and if the magnet is very strong, the sand particle will scratch the glass surface. Use those cheapo glass cleaner using the blades is the best.

I thought it a currypuff...

I think you should read more information on the calcium reactors and what it does. This site is quite informative... calcium

Check your water parameters.

White stuff should be too much of the bacteria. Make sure your skimmer is skimming wet.

The tank water need to have low pH to dissolve the aragonite, and I don't think it is possible in marine environment.

Rics tu wa pakai... buat masak gulai assam...
