Anyone spotted Chervon Tang and Powder Blue Tang?

To each its own.. but method works for me Cultivating bacteria not only will supply as an alternative food source to some corals and mandarin fish, it will reduce nitrates drastically.. Below are some pics of my sump...

Yes. Try replace existing m.rings with some LR. To maintain bacteria balance, run a good FR with bio-pellets.

Hi spkentchai, it's better to leave out mechanical rings in the sump. Use live rocks instead. In additon, add as many more live rocks in the main tank as possible. To effectively cultivate bacteria, try running FR with NP Bio or JS.. It helps alot... Just my 02 cents.. Cheers and happy reefing

Hi dirnitro, It's a nice & neat tank you have there. Care to share total setup cost?

As requested guys.. Tank was established on the 13/01. Photos were taken by iPhone. Pardon me for blurry shoots

Hey cool it guys.. W1976 is a new guy here, let us just give him a break. He's doing his fair share of information to this forum. I guess he's saddened with the lost. Cheers

Bro, It's a very good headsup to all reefers.. Many thanks to the advice I have been in reefing for about 10 over years. Started with reef (keeping soft corals with fishes etc) till today fish only tank. My suggestion to all reefers would be: Regardless of tank size (minimum at 3ft) OR whether or not to proper quarantine newly bought fish(es), so as long as good quality water is maintained and upkeep as always with minimum temperature of 28C, I do not foresee difficulty in keeping different types of marine fishes and invertebrates Rule of thumb - A good and healthy environment will not only prolong fishes lives - (able to resist all types of illness(es), it will bring everlasting satisfaction to the marine hobby Cheers

About size of an adult thumb or smaller.. Too tiny... Not recommended for big tanks as they may be bullied by others

Just bought a PBT and BT from CF.. Tip top condition. They're feeding pellets since the first day in the quarantine tank CF got lots of baby flamebacks, PBT, BT etc.. Auntie having 20% promotion Cheers..

Did not spot any.. Can try Ah Beng at Pasir Ris. Saw some of them last week

Went to Sealife on Sunday Super hawaii and carribean shipment Bought a small flame angel. Astonished by a blue angel.. very exp

All time favorites Hawaii shipment at AM.. YT, KT, HD (hawaii damsels) etc... Better rush while stocks last.. I just bought a super cute YT there

Sorry pal.. You may try testing both NH4 & NH3 to ascertain their presence once again. If results are positive, it may explained everything. Just note not to add-in anymore LS till 02 weeks later at least Happy reefing..
