Within the range that bro brent has reflected. Also if possible, to narrow the search, try to equalize your skimmer pump rate and return pump rate after taking into account head loss. I would recommend tesino btw due to its silent operation and low wattage.

Lol to be honest I dont know what to do with the rock but it has lots of coralline, wasted if I put in sump. And a fail attempt at trying a 3 rock formation iwagumi pattern lol. Also thinking once I complete my fish list and maybe, just maybe start stockin on corals that rock would be a nice spot for a rock anemone at the bottom.

Thanks bro yeah I like this scape more as well.

Added a blue chromis and royal gramma from TFC friday shipment. Very stable fishes, both started feeding the day after. So those who would want them grammas, hurry down to TFC. And dont forget to get a belize queen when ur there haha. Thought very hard of getting 3 chromis instead of just 1 but after reading up on RC, more cases of them fighting till left one than them staying together. Plus I cant just head down to lfs at any given day to get more for $1 a piece like the normal green ones lol. My unpopular marginatus also inside now, managed to chase the gramma out of its cave even after the gramma's efforts in opening its mouth big big. Wondering now where can I get flame cardinals and blue neons. An evelynae would also be nice.

Share you Fish quarantine procedure here
diki88 replied to Harlequinmania's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
Agreed with bro vtech on the media seeded from main tank would help. Especially if u need to medicate, the hassle of having to first change water then correct the therapeutic level again would be avoided for the 3 day copper treatment. I would use bioball or some sponge with a cheap hob filter. Air pump for more oxygen. If have to medicate, ill just throw the sponge and seed a new one in main tank. However as stressed, better to QT for 30 days. Used to do that but now true to HM's words, I no longer have the luxury of keeping both tanks. -
The above item never touched water before Bought and never got around using it. Collection will be at marine terrace or eunos/kbg mrt.
-
Another thing to add 7" filter sock holder + 2x filter sock with nylon and wool Take all for $30
-
Thanks for the heads up. Will omit it altogether as i like the shallow sand bed. Looking at rubre basslet as its replacement.
-
Thanks bro Pods are critters in your tank which serve as fish food especially for mandarins and scooter blennies. Haha that's the only thing I know about pods. Heres a pic I took off the net,

Thanks! But I think still a little cluttered. Cant hold a candle to many bros here when compared to their scaping. Yours is very nice as well. Lots of space for fishes to swim. Coincidentally, I wanted to do a minimalist scape with lots of negative space as well
-
Thanks bro Just checked ammonia, nitrite zero. No nitrate test kit but shall assume by theory tank's done with the cycle. Anyways, I seeded the tank with two LRs after I restarted and two days later can already see pods on tank glass. Btw the two LRs were from ng couple in front of ah beng, 1kg for $3. Very cheap imo.

Hi guys I decided to start a log of my tank here after a mishap involving my nieces and nephews wanting to see bubbles in the tank, bubbles that are not produced by air pumps. Ah well lets move on. Tank is in 2nd week of cycling, nitrite spike phase. Tank : 3ft x 2ft x 1.5ft Sump : 80cm x 50cm x 38cm Return : Tesino GF 352 Skimmer :BM NAC 7 Lights : Beamswork 600 Wavemaker : None (waiting for wp25) Will be adding a fan once cycle is done. Before the aforementioned mishap, was keeping red sea endemics. Somehow im attracted to keeping fishes from a particular locality rather than a mishmash of fishes although there's nothing wrong with that. This time round would be going for a Caribbean fish list (someone poisoned me into this, wanted a hawaii one, he told me keep hawaii fishes for sure bored haha just joking ah bro). Not sure I can call it a biotope as it's just fishes but thats for future ideas. Tentative Fish List(in order of introduction) Blue Reef Chromis x3 Flame Cardinal x2 Royal Gramma Yellowhead Jawfish (shallow sand bed okay for thia guys? Read they need rather deep mixed sandbeds) Longsnout Butterflyfish Argi Angel Rock Beauty (Juv) Atlantic Blue Tang (Juv) Queen Angel (Juv) Im aware the last three fishes will get too big for my small tank. Will sell or trade for smaller ones when it happens. Other than that, feel free to comment, advise, add on or remove any fish or even criticise the list, im all ears. Sorry for the blur pics using camera phone and I think I have early onset parkinsons or something hand not steady. As you can see lights are really on the 10k side kind of regretted the buy but I think ill just supplement it with 2x t5 if I really cannot tahan. Moonlight Thats all for today. Hope to update more in the future. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and 3 more days to friday guys!

How to increase the PH level in the FOWLR tank
diki88 replied to I love angel's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
Never used their ph buffer before but I used their part A & B, trace elements and 5 in 1 coral food before. All went well. Just dose according to instructions and measure. Should work well. Cheers -
Hi bro, sorry it has already been reserved and im contacting the first person for the dottyback. Will text the person next in line if buyer backs out. Thanks for all the interest and my apologies to those I didnt get to respond to personally.

Tearing down my QT so got these fishes to sell. 1. Wild Caught Orchid Dottyback $30 2. Dasycllus Marginatus, Red Sea damsel $40 Take both for $60 Both have been in my QT for about 2-3 months. Both feeding on cyclopeeze and tiny pellet bits. BM nano qq $20 Less than a year old. Although water test negative for copper,please note that the skimmer was used for my QT thus been exposed to cupramine. Please pm me and ill try to get back to you asap.

Which playground this Angel belongs to ?
diki88 replied to Bulldozer's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
G. Personatus. Endemic to hawaii where most of them are found in waters where collection is prohibited. Add to its deep water locality and awesome colouration and you have a crazy rare and expensive fish. -
Brooklynella on my clownfish.
diki88 replied to Evolutionz's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
My guess is you need to treat both of them at the same time to be sure. Not sure where u can get formalin but quinine would also help against brooks. Feed Dr G's food if they're still feeding? -
Many Little holes on the HEad
diki88 replied to Bulldozer's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
You could try dipping the fish's food in selcon and maintain good water parameters? -
Sorry double post. Posting on phone.
