Soong Yu Juan Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hey guys, thanks for your replies to my starfish question. According to what i have read, this starfish(probably Linckia Star) might not be suitable for a nano. it requires a big and mature system to support its microbes needs. It is a very delicate creature which cannot tolerate high nitrates levels and it prefers a high salinity of 1.026. Sorry to say it jettaboi but chances are the starfish might not survive long..... But do continue to post about the health and progress of your tank and inhabitants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 hi all, i needed help from u all.. how to attach 2 FR by using a 1000l/h pump. Connect one side of the outlet of the FR to the inlet of the second FR. You will need a stronger pump and valve to control the flow through it. Pls advise thanks!

Steve Tan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Nice tank bro, can you pm me where you got the tank? I noticed your slump on on the second level of the cabinet, just make sure the stand is able to withstand the weight. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenkoh08 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I may have stop reefing (will be back soon) for awhile but nvr fail to read up and learn more and a hello to all reefer here Seen you've already added in LS i will advise you to do WC every wk and the amount will be 10-20% of it at least to maintain a low No2 & Ammonia. Do also try to lower your sg to 1.017-1.019 this will also help to prevent the LS from disease esp (WS) If you can pls get rip of the Hammer or any coral first during this period, Cause anything go wrong LPS or softies will cause your water to foul easily.
