ok.. but wat type of skimmer should i use? i am hvin a 3ft sump tank...

[Veronicayun Yun]

i am setting up this fish tank till to overload of fish in my 2ft cube tank.. is bubble c7 enough for my tank? i would like to keep around 3-4 angle... wat type of angle will be easy to keep??

Investor on better skimmer which can take up at least 2 time of your tank volume of water since you want to keep alot of fish. View 3 side or 4 side is up to your own preference. Maintain is the same just that if agales grown on glass need to clean only.

[diki88]

I would shoot for a bm nac 9 if budget is a constraint or if ur loaded go for the deltec series. Ur tank would be approximately 500-600 liters before taking into account live rocks and whatnots. Like what bro kakani said find a skimmer rated double for that.

As for angels, its really your preference. One man's regal angel is another woman's majestic. See what u like and just do a little research on their care level. getting a healthy feeding one though sometimes more expensive, would make life easier for u. The only hard part is getting the angels to be compatible with one another. How about listing your preferred angels? Anyways ill be willing to bet you would end up with more than 4 angels haha but thats fine. This hobby always leave u with wanting more.

Hope this helps. Cheers and hv a happy sunday.

Yes can on skimmer. But when you bacteria dose don't on skimmer for 2 - 4 hour anything other then that can on skimmer since you use nsw to cycle

Yes that will be the best way to cycle but you need to do proper cycle for 1 month. If tou bacteria dose daily maybe around 2 -3 weeks

[Zender]

At least a skimmer for up to 1500L.

[kirbysjb]

At least a skimmer for up to 1500L.

Yea agreed.

But I prefer to overkill =)

[Veronicayun Yun]

but bm gt up to 1500L?

[Zender]

Best is cycle for 1 mth. As for angels buy from small to big. If u add big one first u will have problems adding small ones in future. Esp king angel.

Sad to tell you there are no easy Angels.. Angels are very temperamental. They can be feeding and eating like pig today and totally stop eating for no reason tomorrow. Mostly due to stressed from poor water parameters or sudden change in water temperature.

Getting a new adult angel to feed is the next challenging task in the beginning.

Good luck!!

in addition, there is no such thing as easy cos it just flowr tank or even easy fish. There is alot of work involved too. (I.E large water change to keep nitrates low, good equipment and ofcos chillier to keep temperature stable - same theory as put u in aircon room than put u in sauna then aircon then sauna). i'm sure u have aldy learnt something when u work ur way out for ur first tank. Pls Do research before u decide what to keep. I strongly dis-encourage keeping this hobby when one dont even bother the fundamental.

Agreed. This hobby is about being responsible to the living things that lives are in our hands. Care and dedication is needed. Lives are in our hands. Not just investing in proper equipments. But also time and effort needed to maintain e water parameters. Good luck on yr new fowlr.
