Nice. What size tank are you having now?

During then, I just like the idea of keeping some clownfish, I didnt even know reef tanks are so beautiful!

Double posting

Then after reading more articles, topics, forums, everyone talks about cycling. What is cycling? I did zero cycling and was not told to do any cycling. It was plug and play. Went home, dump the rocks, the sand, the water, the corals and then the fish. And I continued reading and was soon in the so fantastic chat group of fellow reefers. In that first 1 weeks, the goby died, I added one more, and a sand sifting star and 3 snails. I also started to get test kits on KH, PO4 and bought their own branded additives. A FTS of the 1 week old tank.

So with this $700 set up, it comes with a Skimmer, a touch sensitive LED light, coral chips, some own branded phosphate reducing media and carbon media in 2 separate bags, 5 KG live rocks, 1kg live sand and a couple of starter fishes. 2 clownfish 1 goby 1 bi-colored dottyback (falsely sold as Royal Gramma) 1 Yellow bellied damsel Corals in the package are: 1 Zoa 1 GSP 1 Mushroom 1 more Mushroom Oh, and of cos, saltwater. Again, I have zero reef tank experience. It was an impulse purchase.

Yups. Agree with that completely. I learnt many things over the last few months and met a couple of nice reef people.

This was the entire set that I paid $700 for. Overpriced to me now. Didn't think much then. And I will not disclose which LFS is this, its a west side LFS. Those in the group would know since I complain about that LFS quite a bit.

It's time to start my own thread on my own journey in this new hobby. Getting into reefing is probably the last hobby that I will go into, but I am still here. Will backtrack my progress from the start to now in a couple of posts. It all started with my office lobby tank. We used to have a Arrowana tank which the main occupant inside decided to die. And then, I was introduced into marine saltwater tanks as the new replacement tank was a saltwater tank. After much consideration, I thought, why not? Just get a small tank from the same place that helped to set up our office tank. I settled for a IOS tank 1.5ft with a total volume of about 63L. That was way back in late August 2016. And oh, I didnt know that this forum exist until the day that I bought my first tank on impulse. I knew absolutely nothing when I bought the first tank. Thinking back, I was quite the carrot to pay $700 for the tank.

Wah. So fast another tank!! Go go. I buy more frags from you again! Hahahaa

Marine Life stock nothing much....hope they have new arrivals this week...

Any update bro?

Hahaha. Just went marine life today also

What's is the different between biogest and bioptim? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Nice tank! Very clean look too without sand. But without sand, somehow gives me the feeling of tanks in LFS.

I am also newbie. But your question is too vague... What is the size of the aquarium that you are looking at? Then the rest of the things follows...

Nice tank. Which LFS did you get the tank from?

I see. Is that better or buying a RO/DI filter to get RO water? I am still wondering...as I am buying RO water from LFS

What RO/DI filter you got?

I so agree with this....I also just started...without first reading this forum.... BOY. If money is of no concern, I will redo it...with a sump.

Wow. Very detailed step by step guide. Good read! Make sense once you read it, but if you dont think about it, newbies like me will not know!
