yeah, that's wat he is saying and i said that earlier too! "but with disciplined water changing these are unneccessary." BUT note that its only true if u use good salt that gif u good chemical composition. and also IF u change a substantial amt like 10-20% but considering your tank so big, hehe, it might cost a bomb to buy so much salt as for buying alot of corals, i always say dun to that buy 1, see wat happens then buy another. if u buy alot and 1 or 2 start to die, u'll get into a panic, worrying if the others will go too. so to safe yourself the headache, get 1, then when u r more confident, get another and so on

eh they might be chitons algae grazers dun anyhow kill post pic!

yo its additive, not addictive, u're not buying heroine for lps, the additives u need are Ca, strontium, Kh, trace elements and Mg. but with disciplined water changing these are unneccessary. trouble is, for such a big tank like yours, better to dose rather than change water. like my tank change water can die ah so i dose and water is few mths change 1 time. your tank is 2.5ft deep? then i suggest u use 200+W of T5. IMO 150W for 2.5Ft depth is too little somemore u use T5. mh will have better penetration. also, pay attention to current flow, moderate flow is good for lps the test kits go get po4 test kit also, u dun wan algae growing over your lps skeleton if u dun haf po4 absorber running then go get 1 food yes, market prawn is enough, cyclopeeze if u want to stimulate lps to open their tentacles. good starter lps are bubble (tough i dun haf luck with them ) , lobo, brain, cyarina and prata. hammer torch frogspawn octo are more sensitive to water parameters so i suggest u start later with these sun coral is also good but u need to feed them diligently. short tentacle plates also quite good to start with. long tentacle ones in my experience is alittle tougher.

ah i see! so that's the remedy to my problem been trying to tune my CR but it gets choked sometimes. maybe i need a dosing pump too hey bro, thanks for all the helps here gd luck in your search!

live rock's role in reducing no3 is minimal compared to DSB. their role is mainly in removing ammonia and nitrite if DSB worries you then my suggestion is dun put dsb, dun put live rocks (as you would already have enough in your main tank) and just get a big/good powerful skimmer, that can also keep no3 low.

yo tineng i'm not sure if this is useful but these were the guys who built and delivered my hood to me. workmanship quite alright. Hock Beng Carpenter Co. tan Hock Lye: PAGER: 97008435 tel: 67835765 they are at blk9003 tampines st93, tampines Ind Park A, #01-144 S528837

i see what advantages are there to using a dosing pump as opposed to say the more traditional T-off? sorry off topic ah but hoping to learn more about dosing pumps since u brought it up

aie...leather is a hardy coral meant for starters ok!

is the sp3000 suitable for 24/7 operations? cos i heard some dosing pumps are not suitable. the hose or sth will harden or sth will spoil..not sure hope u can enlighten me

hey i remember tineng was selling 1 or 2 of them just 2 weeks ago it might still be available, try doing a search on bazaar shouldn't be too hard to find

and yr tank is how big?

how's your bioload? if u only got 1 fish and liverocks then i wun be surprised no skimmate la

xenia taken left leather coral upzz!

up up up only $20/- so cheap!

buy my leather! http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...topic=48651&hl= :lol:

lol ya man BH, i've heard reborn telling me the same thing for them it was a headache, think they need to get the rock out to sun first and kill the remaining tissues anyway, its GREAT to have u back.

another photo of the leather coral. very healthy the small frag has been given away. left the bigger parent colonies behind

haha sway la brother xenia reserved! take the leather la if u wan i gif u the rock free, no need to frag the coral

bubble collected left xenia and leather jem, if u interested pls gif me your correct hp number you gaf me a 9digit hp number

lol dun panic la bro since u buy leaw take 1 step at a time see what happens. anyway last time i had 2 of them...then they just suddenly died off overnight, think its the dreadful clam disease. oh well, i'll never know what happened

bubble reserved by the way the right leather stock is splitting...with proper care and condition it will soon become 2 stocks
