Origin of my bacteria? Emm... there are 3 sources:
1) AquaMedic Biobacter – thanks to bro Lyz77
2) Nature's Ocean Live Substrate – AM
3) Nature's Ocean Live Sand – AM
And here's a shot of my beautiful Green Mussels... apparently rotting its flesh away
Ammonia up a bit to 0.25ppm this morning
Haha... I can still remember your Big Mama (giant Maroon Clown)... more and more gems I must say... so what's in your stocking list... I heard this morning got Hawaii shipment
Hi bro... FTS tonight
Your little gobies... still very active leh One of them decided to stay inside my right back chamber (where I put my FR and chiller output)... perhaps that little guy prefers colder water or maybe some privacy I got a feeling you have given me 2 specimens of the same ######
I think having an extra protein skimmer may not be a bad idea... can see nice foam right away...
Tunze DOC Skimmer 9005 - an automatic skimmer with a 500-litre (158 USgal.) air output
Ok guys... did something very major today... very very major
Re-introduced the Tunze Reefpack 500 (which I failed to sell) back into the Percula 90... getting ready for the downsizing exercise
I've also removed the following:
1) Tunze Stream 6060
2) Tunze Stream 6000
3) 1/2 kilo Macroalgae
Yes... and thanks bro JC85 for the diagram. Actually the cycle has already completed last 2 days... since my live rock will only be introduced in 2 weeks time... I'm worried all my cultivated bacterias will starve to death (afraid my tank may be too sterile)... therefore I introduce the Green Mussels... hoping their decay flesh will create more Ammonia... keeping my bacterias well fed along the chain... this step is optional actually but I prefer to experiment to keep myself busy
Hope you don't find my methods too confusing...
Auto-feed: Eheim
Auto-top up: Aquatronica
Skimmer: Tune to very dry skimming (or else a possibility of overflowing)
Filter floss: Removed to avoid clogging
Crossed my fingers every now and then
Biobacter is for adding bacteria to the tank...
Well my tank completed its Nitrogen Cycle within 3 weeks (without live rock)... I guess it works But I also added some Live Sand to the substrate and DSB
Hi bro K, actually my Gonios have not been opening well thanks to my Nemo I find them opening better when the flow is moderate... not too strong... I got a feeling my Gonios are not enjoying my Tunzes as much as the rest of the corals
Make sure you are not the Nemo bro Godzilla coz I will remove the Gonios from my tank pretty soon... leaving the poor Nemo without any corals to "kacau"
