I feel that with 2k budget.. it is only sufficient for Main tank, sump tank, cabinet, pipings and a reasonable skimmer. After that, there will not be much cash left
This is what I've encountered. Usually when I introduce a new tang into my tank, they will be chased and whacked by other tangs already in the tank. But after 1 ~ 2 weeks, they will get sick of chasing and they live happily ever after...
That is if that new tang can survive the stresses encountered during the 1~2 weeks.
I'm having the same problem as framerunner.. high kH, but my Ca not as high as his... can continue to dose Ca?
My kH has been around 12.5 for weeks already and it seems to stabilise...
