Hi All - just an update, still selling off my 65L REEFMAX Marine Fish-tank. This includes the LED Lights (as seen in the photos) & return pump. The only thing needed is the protein skimmer. Great little tank, plug and play, easy to maintain. Purchased for $459 only 1 year ago, now decommissioned and cleaned and ready to sell for $250 (or nearest offer). PM if you are interested. Sorry not selling my AI LED's as this is coming back to Australia with me.

good idea!
-
Can any advise where is best on this site to advertise the sale of my Marine Tank? Its been emptied, cleaned and ready to go. Advice?
-
The tank has been decommissioned now were in the process of relocating back to Australia. The tank, skimmer, pump and LED is now for sale was a set (or to throw away the pump, skimmer and LED). Bought it 1 year ago now selling it for $300

Hi guys, Photo update - set up is going well. 2 x clown fish, 1 x Green Mushroom, 1 x Green TBA, 1 x Zoas - all are doing well. My clowns both started hosting the BTA and Mushroom within 2 days of being in the tank (lucky i guess). Water quality: Ammonia 0, Nitrate 25ppm, PH 8.2, Salinity 1.026 Was going to add a second BTA as originally the clowns were fighting over the 1 BTA, but now there both happy sharing (or the black clown hosts the Mushroom when he wants some peace and quiet). Installed my new AI Prime - running 1.5 hours sunrise, 3 hours at peak (not peak power, just introducing CW instead of blue), 1.5 hours sunset. Trying to keep lighting down whilst i have Brown Algae but still give enough light for the corals - they seem to be okay with the schedule, has been this way for over a week, no signs of distress.

Thanks for the advice DottyClown. Swapping over to LIFE today and dropping water changes to once per week (saves me some work, so love the advice)
-
Ive just double checked - Fairprice PURE drinking water.......... I have a problem right? Switch to LIFE Distilled and stop using PURE. Would you recommend URGENT water changes to be done to cycle out the PURE? All livestock (2 x clowns, 1 x mushroom, 1 x bubble tip and 1 x Zoas) are all doing well, great colours, all corals and BTA are fully open - is it possible the PURE is ok (just not as good as the LIFE Distilled)? Thanks DottyClown, good pick up!
-
Thanks for the advice! Im changing water on a regular basis, using RED SEA salt, Ammonia is 0, Nitrate at 20ppm. My Protein Skimmer is skimming well, additional power head in the tank to create surface movement (and movement within the tank for my corals). All in all, i think im keeping the correct husbandry (but im no professional only a nano rookie).

Its NTUC Pure ? Is LIFE better than PURE?
-
Question: who used NTUC Fairprice "PURE" water for top ups and water changes? Ive been using it recently and could be the possible cause for the brown algae (which is now in the sand!). A lot of people have recommended it so I'm hoping I'm wrong here. Ive cut the lights back but since upgrading to the AI Prime, the problem is getting worse (despite only running the lights with CW for 4 hours a day) the rest is "sunrise" and "sunset" which CW fades out and runs mainly blue.... Any advice would be a life saver. Thanks guys.
-
Awesome thanks for the advice! Another reefer mentioned said he ran his CW at 60% and in the first week lost his mushroom (too powerful for his 60L). Other people running at 60%+ and no issues. Just a quick one, how do you change the % on lunar? Manually im guessing?
-
Hi Bro, Just picked up a AI Prime - any suggestions for my settings for my 60L nano? Colors. CW ?%, DR ?%, G ?%, DB ?%, B ?%, UV ?%, V ?% Times. Sunrise 8am Sunset 3pm with a 3 hour ramp time ? Lunar. DB ?% B ?% V ?% Installed it, and my bubble tip has decided he isn't interested, has gone back inside my LR hiding currently

Hi Joseph, 3 changes in 3 days is too much? Does this effect the tank?
-
Update: BROWN ALGAE !!! The glass in my tank (in certain areas) is growing Brown Algae, i clean each day (this has been happening for 1 week since adding the 3 x corals). The glass is not major though and easy to control. The issue is my LR - 2 of my 4 large pieces are almost completely covered in Brown Algae - I've reduced lights to 6-7 hours per day, and not allowing any direct sunlight (although there is some "in-direct" sunlight which is in the room). Feeding every other day, 3 x water changes per week - Fri, Sat, Sun due to time constraints. Is this just a natural occurrence due to increase of livestock? And will it sort its self out in a week or two? Or is immediate action required? Nitrate has risen to 30ppm - all corals and fish though are loving life (lots of colour, feeding well, all corals/bubbletip are opening right up most of the day). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. P.s. no clean up crew currently - Turbo Snails and my rock formation don't seem to work as they fall between the small gaps in the rock and get stuck for hours and end up in a not very good condition. Thanks min Advance

Hi Joseph, You were 100% correct regarding the Dotty Back - he went back to the LFS (after chasing him around my tank for 2 hours then having to remove ALL my LR to catch him)! After about a week he went from chilling out in the LR to chasing my clowns around. Some visible marks became apparent on both my clowns. Enough was enough. More research and advice from you guys is my new direction before adding any new items to my tank. Thanks for the head up!
