I would recommend bi-weekly 40-50% wc..larger wc is more effective for FOWLR..another point to note is for FO, SG at 1.015-1.016 will suffice..as for UV, u can decide to run or not after they r cured..some run their UV 247..cheers
Powdertang shd b a sis if i rem correctly..
Anyway, like what powdertang say, if ur fishes r feeding well, not to worry that much..lower SG will slow down/kill ich parasites but do note that SG lowering must b done slowly n no invert..regular wc will help to reduce/flush away ich parasites like in the sea with constant current n waves..continued to feed ur fishes with good food n regularly wc..good luck bro
1st of all, what make u think of 100% wc aka reset tank? are ur livestock showing distress behavior n look abnormal? If ur livestock are healthy, they can easily adapt to the new water (note that SG dun differ alot) but contradicting is if ur livestock are healthy, why need to wc 100%..if ur live rocks n biofilter are seasoned, 100% wc should b no problem..good luck bro
Imho, its up to personal preference..I dun like it as it look faked..nowadays, there's more of this fake corals selling in local market n its very colorful..most of RWS sea aquariums are with fake corals.."beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"
Nice position of your dream tank..I always like as much views of the tank as possible n making it as a divider will have 3 side views (2 length 1 breath)..ur dining atmosphere sure is shiok man.. camping here for more updates..keep pics coming yea bro
Aquarist chamber do have red sea shipment at times..stay tuned @ their sponsor thread or camp @ weekly shipment updates..wish u luck in finding them soon
The alternating reverse mode is for my fishes to take a break n catch some breather..haha..
My forward mode is to have strong current to stir up particles on my tank bottom
+1 to test water parameter..
Many ? .. Ie. New tank setup without cycle, what equipments u using, water change regime, what rocks (copper?), any dosing of chemical, etc..
Hope u solve ur mystery soon..cheers & happy reefing..
2 times auto feeding daily..this is the video of one feeding..sometimes adhoc self feeding pellets,seaweed,mysis,etc when at home relax do nothing watching my tank hand itchy haha
