in fact i'm planning to stock corals first then follow by fish...

fish probably will come in another 1-2 months time meanwhile, will start sourcing for corals.. muhahahaha

[alexcyf]

Yeah corals can tahan through the cycling period and help ease ur wait for cycle to complete! Good timing to get corals now!alot of LFS having national day sales!

[angmoh]

wow, time flies... it's been almost 6 weeks since I cycle my tank... Haven't got any test kits to test the parameters, but i guess the tank is more or less cycled.

Have to disappoint you guys. My tank still looks empty and I have not added any fish yet. However added couple of corals (Torch and Rics) to test the water. So far all are doing fine. Some cleaning crews were added as well. Like blue-leg hermit, marble starfish. All still survive.

Here's there recent tank shot.

Bought this from Daiso. I find it very handy to clean skimmer cup. Just to share with you guys..

I treat the tap water (for water topup) with rowaphos. Initially rowa media was placed in a filter bag. Have been thinking how to maximize the water contact/flow through the media without running a reactor (no $$$ and due to space constraint)..

Finally, I figured this which I think will be equally effective..

Bro not to burst your bubble here.

You're wasting your rowa.

Bro MarcoVan, why say so? Pls enlighten. Thanks

[Deron Ng]

Bro where in china you bought all those from?

[drato11]

Very nice scaping there! Neat clean look.

Freshwater contains levels of dissolved solids. Phosphate and silicates are dissolved solids but there are other dissolved solids which are inside the water where rowa has no effect on. Dosing such water into tank will still promote algae growth and end up you don't move forward but backward. Kind of like 1 step forward 2 steps back..Rowa ain't cheap too.

You are better off saving up and get a rodi.

I can be wrong because the water used may already be rodi. If it's rodi, why still use rowa? That's still wasting money.

Hope these help.

bro why not get the di raisin? put in filter bag and 1 carbon bag place in front of wave maker like you did. 24 hour can should be able to bring tds down to less than 4. only problem is how you are going to shield the raisin from light. maybe a black box with hole? idk

[angmoh]

Any kind bro here can borrow me your TDS meter? just need a single test to know what's the TDS level from my tap water. in CCK/Teck Whye area preferred.

[angmoh]

RBTA is one of my "must-have" inverts... hehe. Grabbed a nice piece from The Fish Channel. Although a bit pricey, i'm willing to pay for the price for it

It's settling down at the perfect location which i want it to be since day 1 (3 days ago). Hopefully it's not going to move around.

How much u brought it? Nice!!

[angmoh]

[hanafi_weeseng]

I must say the rbta look better in your tank being seen it at tfc.

[angmoh]

got a pair of onyx clowns today.. hopefully they will host in this rbta. According to Coral Farm, these clowns are wild-caught.

Nice and stable fish. The moment i released them into the tank, already chasing for the pellets.
