I volunteer as tribute! $110!

My 2 cents would be since ur on ur 6th day of cycle, just leave the tank be and don't test for anything until it's cycled and ready for corals the only variable u could test is ANN. This way u could prolong ur test kit's life span. During this cycle, ur tank will naturally equilibrate itself. Dont be worried about other parameters. Only when ur Ammonia & Nitrite is 0, then best u do a WC then tweak other parameters such as Ca & Alk for corals and such. Hope this helps. And cheers!

Pasir Ris farms, Madpetz should have bro.

Not true. So as long as u have water circulation can le. Unless your water temperature is insanely hot there's no diff if u on chiller or not during cycling. Btw foul smell for the initial cycling may happen as stuff starts to decompose and break down to kick start the cycle.

Cyclopeeze has not failed me most times I want to get a fish feeding. Esp your flame is 2inches on the smaller side.

I would say a bta.

From my lousy memory, CF has many naoko fairy wrasse. PBTs, desjardini, yellow tangs, dispar and blue eyed anthias, lemonpeels and flame angels. Got a few colony of duncans as well which has been there for as long as i remember. many nice true perc pairs as well. LCK Queens, S,M and L sizes. Many SM sized scribble angels. flame, asfur, goldflake. still got a couple of spses there. plus some hammer corals that looked good. Ah Beng LCK surprisingly not open yet at the time i went around 11+am. Ah Beng Pasir Ris many clownfishes, dispar and blue eyed anthias, nice emperor angels. PBTs, regals, goby+pistol shrimp pair. was in a hurry there however noticed a very nice alpha male mc cosker wrasse which stood out among all the male mc cosker wrasse. not sure its still there or not. TFC left with 3 ATs that are swimming together surprisingly without much aggression. Yellow tangs, flame angels, kings and a flame wrasse pair. mauritius/kenya shipment should be coming according to boss. hope so can come then diamond tail also come hahahahhahaa.

Nice set up bro. Any thoughts of adding an ATO to fight the evaporation in the future? Now cycling phase not so impt though.

Could be that reason but most probably they are fighting to determine who becomes female.

Possible Mauritius shipment hitting TFC soon.

TFC at 8pm : Many Yellow Tangs Rhomboid Wrasse Many ABTs. Yellow and Blue phase. Flame Wrasse pairs Potter Angels Nice Flame Angel piece

Nice tank. Reminds me of a reefer's tank in rc with all that butterflies. Did u get that pakistan from pinnacles? Nice piece.

Oops the video not in there. Again watch in HQ pls

Hello to one and all. Not much updates on my tank. But lets focus on the bad stuff first. 1) the bad thing that i mentioned in my last post was that the rock beauty became an olympic high jumper and a troll before it died by jumping past my tank bracing and into the back of the tank where I cant reach. :angry: It took me two days to realise it wasn't in my tank and by then even my nose which thinks my fart smells like CK One cant take it. 2) the smallest flame angel couldn't stand the constant harassment by the bigger female flame and shepardi and gave up living. 3) my AT was eating like a horse but soon I realised it was having a minor tail rot. 3 weeks passed and fortunately the rot has stopped and its growing again. I theorise it could be the copper as it was acclimatised into a tank straight with 0.5 copper. To the better parts, 1) like other bros here, I couldnt resist the shipment of Golden Angels from Ah Beng sometime late Sept. Managed to find one on the 2nd day of shipment which wasnt bloated. Two weeks it hid from me and the flame angels and finally it came out. And in its hiding phase, became fast friends with the flame hawkfish. Now its chasing my fav food, cyclopeeze. 2) with the small flame passing, ive got 2 flame and a shepardi. The two flames have been getting frisky, dirty dancing every night while the shepardi looks on like a jealous mistress. Its super cool seeing their courting ritual. 3) bandit has gotten more daring to the point it is snatching food from the super fierce hybrid yellow. Thats a win. Big thanks to bigbird from TFC for bringing in this fish. Well that's it. Here's a couple of vids. U can see the Golden Angel eating like a champ which makes me one happy man. WATCH IN HQ PLS. CAM VID QUALITY SUCKS. Well that's it for now. Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk 2

Everything is actually looking good.. don't do anything. The cloudiness is due to bacteria bloom which is the very reason why u cycle ur tank. Cheers.

Niceeee.

TFC left with 2 Belize Queens from the initial 10 that came in. Studyly King Angels Feeding Rock Beauties A nice XL Maldives Blue Face XL Gem Tangs A beautiful Male Flame Wrasse.

Bro, ur maroon bta is AWESOME.

Since u already did a control test with a fresh batch of water, I dont think ur test kit is the issue although getting a more sensitive one like salifert would not hurt at all, except making a small hole in your pocket. That said, I dont think its ur LR either. If it was, the nitrate would show earlier. Qtn 1 : how long did u cycle? Qtn 2 : did u test for ammonia n nitrite when u tested for no3 which turned out to be negligible? Imo, whenu tested for no3, ur nh4 and no2 was in its spiking phase. My 2 cents is that ur tank is just completing its cycle with the nitrate spike. Some cycle take almost no time, some abit longer than usual. So just wait it out abit more, no need waste money to keep changing water. Ur tank ill stabilise soon enough.

Tfc Caribbean shipment arrived at 6pm just now.
