Bought 3kg of sand and 5kg of live rock last week. Due to previous experience of too much pest in the lr, decided to deep the lr in fresh water for 2days and after that let it dry in the sun. Today start the setup to cycle the water first Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

small sump only, so maybe will keep it for another 2-3days in sump and then 3 days in betta box. Hope that will have improvement. Thanks to all

Dear Reefers, I have a question to ask. I have a Yellow tang who is the taiko of my 30gallon tank. It is about 2inch and has been in the tank for 6months. Last 2days, went and bought a smaller blue tang about 1 1/2inch. I put the blue tang in the betta box so that he can get use to the water in my main diplay. Immediately my yt came rushing towards the bt. Luckily it was in the betta box. So i caught the yt and put it in the sump tank and release the bt into the display. Maybe after 3-4days then only put back the yt in\to the display so that the bt have time to get use to the environment. Will this plan work?? Its very hard for me to rearrange rockscape. Thanks

This evening went back and found water not cloudy anymore. Thanks to all who replied..But still thinking the root cause of it. Really puzzled

Hi Fellow Reefers, Today morning i woke up to find the water in my 30gallon tank become abit cloudy. Really puzzled, the tank has been running for 4months already. I feed twice daily. Really puzzled, so far the fishes are ok and the corals are still opening. The only thing is my small mandarin(about 1inch) died and its being eaten now by my coral banded shrimp. Can such a small fish cause my water to be cloudy? My current livestock is: Yellow tang x1 Flame angel x1 Clown x3 Long Nose hawkfish x1 Benggai Cardinal x1 Bicolor dottyback x1 Blue Jaw Trigger x1 toadstool x1 torch coral x1 frogspawn x1 colt coral x1 flower pot x1 flavia x1 plate coral x1 GSP I will take a picture tonight. Really a bit worried now. Any reefers have the same experience, please advise. Thank you very much

to all. I bought a packet of frozen cyclopeze. The anthias start to eat. This is the first time the fish is eating. But really hope it will accept pellet in the long run.Is it possible??

Tqvm for the advice. Will try my best to get it to eat. Although it is shy but its really a fish with class and style of its own. Really like it a lot. Tried feeding with brine shrimp but it didnt show much interest. Will try mysis and cyclopeze

Thx for the advice bro . Btw, just to ask mysis isit the same as brine shrimp??

I bought a purple anthias 3days ago, the day it went to the tank, straight away hiding and onli started coming out a few times and each time onli 1-2minit. Really a shy fish . Really having a hard time trying to get him to be more active and also trying to get him eat. Anyone have an anthias that is feeding on pellets? Please advise cos really dunt want it to die. Tqvm

why does my filter sock already overflow just after 2weeks of using it? Anyone can advise? Tqvm

will siphon the deritus to the filter sock then

Hi To All Reefers, I have a 2feet(30gallon) tank which is cycling for 5days now. About 15kg of liverocks has been added and a market prwan thrown in to start the cycle. Can see a lot of die of from the lr.Also a lot of deritus on the floor of the tank now. The question is can i put in the coral sand after i complete my cycle? The problem is i dunt want to put the sand now due to all the deritus and also dont wanna do water change as it will slowdown the cycling time. So is it ok to pour in the sand after complete cyling? Thanks a million

Thanks very much for the fast reply bro(ok no sifu here)Will go back later and check out. If can will upload the picture of the bubbles also. Btw i heard this skimmer need time to break the oil layer(izzit true?) . Cheers

Hi Sifus, I just recently started cycling my new 2ft(30gallon) tank with a 10gallon sump 3days ago. Already added 8.5kg of liverock inside and also market prawn. Water a bit cloudy(izzit normal?) On my skimmer(weipro 2011) 2days ago but its still not skimming anything at the monment. Using a sobo4000 pump(2000liter/hr) to power the skimmer. Should i wait a little longer or should i try to adjust the water outlet flow to raise the buble level? Thank in advance

Its time for me to say goodbye to my old 1.5ft tank and say hello to my new 2ft(24x16x20") tank with a 1.8ft sump . Its my first time dealing with a sump so have some s regarding it. Hope the gurus will advise. My sump is devided into 3compartment. 1st is for the skimmer and water from overflow box. The 2nd is for filter media. The third is for return pump and chiller pump. Is this sequence ok. Can and where can i put some chateo to reduce NO3? Also the filter media, what is the reccomended ones. Really hope to have a good and cost effective filtration. Would also appreciate if can show the pic of the sump just to learn a bit. My tank specs is Ocean Free 24x16x20 Sump(3 compartments) Skimmer(weipro 2011) resun 400 wavemaker chiller resun CL650 Is this setup ok for most LPS corals? Also since this is a new setup, just wanna ask izzit ok to introduce np bio pellets straight away. Coz really want to reduce no3 and po4.

Hi Gouldian, Thanks a lot for the advice . Btw may i just know when is the right time for me to change the carbon filter?

Hi All, I have a 1.5ft tank powered by a eheim 2213 canister filter. The filter has been running almost a month. So i think its time for me to clean it a change the carbon media inside. My problem is i do not know how to do it.I had a very hard time in getting the filter to work when i first bought it and it was really messy coz i had to use my mouth to manually suck out the air tfrom the filter outlet so that it will start to run(i did fill up the filter with water from tank initially but the airlock thing is a really problem). So my question is if i off the filter, clean and on back will i still need to manually repeat the manual siphon process?? Or is there any link to teach me how to step by step to do cleaning on this filter. Thanks to all gurus in advance
