Beautiful Setup I am in the midst of looking into lighting for my Dymax iq5 Can i ask how much did you spend on lighting? thanks

Ok went to Aqua empire, Followed your advice and bought Salifert and bought the nitrate test kit Followed Instructions, 1 ml water, added both the powders and stirred and let it to rest for 3 minutes From the top the reading is White, from the side the reading is at 2ppm, so i must divide by 10, thus my Nitrate level is 0.2 ppm right? i have not done my weekly water change yet. How long more must i wait before i can add more LS? Thanks

Quick Question: My Blue legged Hermit crab just molted, should i just leave the molting in the tank?

Thanks for the great Advice

Thanks I got my live rock, water, sand bed, True Perc all from a shop in Pasir Ris Farm Way, i dont think that shop has a name, Right opposite the entrance of Aquaempire, there is a Happy Prawning sign board, as you go in the second block on the left, with wet floors. Where is this Ah Beng Shop? maybe its the same shop haha

Thanks Bro Ok i was told the seachem ammonia indicator is pretty accurate, i guess another selling scheme by the LFS. I will get rid of it and get a proper test kit For the lighting, can you help me suggest something? i will definately wait for my tank to Mature before i purchase anything but just want to plan it correctly Another thing bro, i am actually adding bacteria everytime i change my water, is this always necessary? and should i change my filter material to Chemi-pure or something else or just leave the stock filter material Thanks for the encouraging response

Hey Bro Thanks for the advice I will wait for the tank to mature For the clown fish, i am planning to setup another tank in the future, will definately work on a upgrade For the salinity, thats the same reading i am getting from the Salt water i bought from the shop, is there something else i should do?

Hi This is my New Pico Tank Model: Dymax IQ5 Power Head: Stock 200h/l Lighting: Stock DYMAX LED Skimmer: Skimmer for IQ5(DYMAX) Filtration: Stock Cooling: Dymax Vortex Cooler Fan LS: 1 Clownfish + 1 Blue leg Hermit crab + Mushroom coral Tank Cycling: 3 Weeks Temperature: 26-27 degree Celcius Feeding : 3 pellets , twice daily(Spectrum for Marine) Salinity : 1.020 Water top up: 2 days once, boiled and cooled water Water change plan, Weekly 20% Sea water purchase from Shop Few things i want to check with fellow brothers 1. My Skimmer doesnt seems to produce any foam, is this because there is not enough protein yet? 2. Would like to hear some suggestion if i can add any coral to this tank, if yes , some suggestion would be great 3. Fish i am planning only to have max 2, probably will get a sexy shrimp 4. Any other suggestion and advice, since i am new to this, i did do alot of reading but heard the best advice comes from this forum so sticking my head here Thanks I have posted some pictures of my tank
