Day 10 - After measuring the parameters, Ammonia Zero, Nitrate Zero, Nitrite 10ppm, i decided to give it a try...add LS...but before that...setup chiller and make sure it is working....NB....one end of pipe leaking water

What's your wave makers n controller model?

What's your wave makers n controller model?

I'm currently using 2x6025 and have another 6055 sitting in my spare box.....haven start to use them yet...I dont have any controller at the moment.

Bro, the octo coral, should be on the rock and not on the sand...

Thanks. Was wondering about that couple of days ago.

You will have problem adding the two normal clowns with the pair of clarki in the tank first...

Hmm.....I actually quite like the Clarkii...but the female Clarkii was very dominating when I added my 2 normal clown(my wife like ^^)...so in the end I have to give away my Female Clarkii...and exchanged for a Anemone...

Now my male Clarkii and 2 normal clowns are very good friend.....3 always goes everywhere together....LOL

What will be their offspring look like...heeehee

By the way, what's your tank size n with 2 x 6025, enough?

It will be interesting to see their offspring if manage to breed...quite hard I think as a newbie....

Tank size is 5ftx1.5ftx2ft....definitely not enuff and will progressively add the other 2...

Nothing much to update except that also facing with Hair Algae problem.....what I did so far....

1. Bought some algae cleaning crews

2. Plucking out the hair algae to prevent further growth....just cant imagine that it is so difficult to pluck them...

3. Bought Phosphate media to bring down the phosphate...

Any other ideas?

If no SPS, you can reduce the lighting period and do frequent water change to control the algae bloom but make sure SALT water is RO/DI mixed.

Hi. Get some astrea snails. They are good hair algae cleaners. I can pass you my urchin when you come over to collect yr bn frags. It has grown too big for my liking. Prefer those mini ones. It's a really good cleaner as well.
