  5. Yup totally agree... If u want something to call ur own, u need most importantly to spend time to learn and then to personally react with it... Have fun... Its a great hobby!
  6. Haha... Dun worry about it bro... No rush no biggie thanks for the compliments and hope the frag will enjoy itself in your home! It grows fast and enjoys light but flow wise, ideally not direct... My one turn purplish pink again already...
  7. Thanks bro... Appreciate ur kind words... Go meddle with yours im sure u can do better!
  8. NSW might be faster but u run the risk of adding harmful bacteria, toxins, parasites or chemicals into your tank... Its a risk u have to weight and decide. Then again there are ultrafiltered nsw around, not sure bout the availability of sterile ones though. Again this "faster" bit is quite worrying as i think u should not rush the cycling process whether nsw or saltmix; and if all possible cycle it for a longer period of time to have a strong culture of nitrifying bacterias. U can use this time to read more, learn more and plan for other stuff. For big tanks it makes monetary sense to have the initial fill up done using nsw but i still think if possible, subsequent water change should use salt mix. Imho quality salt mix gives u many benefits such as trace elements, macro elements in certain proportions already declared on the covers... If its what u are looking for then salt mix might be better for u.. Last point, sorry for lengthy post, uncle lorsoh... If u going for saltmix please use at least di water and not fresh from the tap...
  9. Imho i render most common problems can be rectified through proper understanding of the system, problem and solution. A restart might be useful in cases of sever disease/pest out break, excessive use of medication (again might be able to fix with carbon) or in cases where we have to move our tanks location... Correct me if im wrong but i really cannot identify a good reason to do so... Parameters unstable, many ways to stabilize them; algae out break, look into nutrient control; massive die offs, remove all existing livestock and look into the cause... Things dun happen without a reason and likewise a solution would most likely be present. Restarting only brings about a short term illusion that everything is under control... Ultimately the same issue like nutrients, etc will come back again... If u do not learn to tackle them, i foresee a restart every now and then. The nitrification process will always be present whether in an old system or new... Its the ability to recognise, understand and solve the problem that gives you the mileage to maintain a stable system... Nonetheless, your tank your call... Im just sharing my 2 cents This hobby may not be tough but i believe most would agree, to make any progress in it, u require a fair amount of dedication and patience. Have fun bro!
