Have any one of you tried keeping oysters, mussels (not the clams which we normally see in the shops)? Possible to keep it in the tank??

dun think its very possible.. i believe they need to be in high nutrients water to survive... if thats the case.. you cannot keep alot of corals le.. LOL

lol... interesting thread even before tank cycling....

you can try keeping "see hum", lala also.... yum yum....

tuxedo urchin can keep during initial stage (1st 2- 3 months)

will help to keep your brown algae boom in check during new tank syndrome.

after that, you can sell the urchin away.

:mellow: WAH, haha... i wanna try keeping those invertebrates not for own consumption leh.. i just thought it would be interesting to keep something which is consumable in my own reef tank...

But of cos i will take into considerations what the senior reefers have said about the incompatibility and the danger of keeping some. of the invertebrates. i wont want to endanger my other tank inhabitants because of my own liking too leh.. bf is a staunch aquarist that doesnt tolerate nonsense! :cry:

Alot of stuff are all based on experience.. of cos you can try out what you want too but it MIGHT be a waste of time and money.. worst if tank crash.. so do some reading up (i'm sure you are already doing so!) and you will slowly pick up the dos and dont's of this hobby.. :superman:

Hi Jacky, u mentioned that tuxedo urchin can only be kept during the initial stages.. Why is that so??

During the initial stage of a newly setup tank, there will be a lot of undesirable hairy algae, diatoms that surfaces.

having tuxedo urchin will help to clean these algae, diatoms on the rock. The path that these urchin leave behind after munching will be white.

I have a pic on my tank thread. will try to see if I can find it.

As Ray mentioned... Tuxedo consumes all types of algae.... including coraline algae. Coraline algae are purple algae the encrust on Live Rocks... highly desired by a lot of reefers. So once after the algae boom stage in the newly setup tank is over, then you can sell or give them away so that your coraline algae has a chance to grow.

Hopes this make sense.

Have not changed the RO filter in ages, and didn't want to mess up the place, so decided to go with this solution instead...

Seems like bf is stealing the limelight of my thread now that he has exposed himself... :thumbdown:

Anyway, havent been updating my thread as we have been busy with the tank. Was supposed to come on the 25th but due to some slight hitches, it finally came last Wednesday... :groupwavereversed:

Immediately after the workers have completed the setup of the tank, we anxiously fill the tank with distilled water to test try for any leakage.... Bought 18 cartons of distilled water.... It was fun at first but opening 216 bottles is not a joke...

post-20148-0-37357600-1323066324_thumb.j

Thankfully, there was no leakage... The very next day, we added DD H20 Saltmix into the tank, till SG reaches around 1.025.

post-20148-0-69142700-1323066382_thumb.j

Water was cloudy... It was a worrying sight as bf said he has not experienced such cloudiness before even after we left it to settle for a day..

post-20148-0-04398900-1323066449_thumb.j

Fortunately the cloudiness starts clearing away after he turned on the setup (ie the filtration system)

The next day again, we decided it was time to fill the sandbed...

The first pack....

post-20148-0-19347200-1323066551_thumb.j

The second pack.... Water started to cloud again...

post-20148-0-44364000-1323066958_thumb.j

We added the clarifier that comes along with the sand to speeden the clarification process (It is not instant clarification alright, gotta wait for another one more day!!!)
