My Water Parameter still doing good at 0 ppm ( as of last week when i do my water test ). Will be doing 20% WC ( every 2 weeks) on this Monday and change the filter's Media ( every 2 months ) Slight hair algae growth, mostly were munched by blue tang and after sometime the algae will turn white. I avoid feeding frozen food as i realise the skimmer goes crazy when i turned it on after feeding. - seed Tisbe copepods to eat over left food. - dose BW Bactor7, Biofuel , It's Clear , Coral Stimulator ( 1 drop / day ) - Wash wave maker every week as most food always stuck there.

Maybe my tank still quite new therefore not much issue yet. When livestock increases, and the balance (equilibrium) are off - thats when situation arise. The ideal is to let your tank reach equilibrium ( self sustaining or minimal cleaning ) but you know la , it's hard to resist not buying :X Quote [DECOMMEND] Tank : 24" x 12" x 15" Acrylic Gex Tank Lightings : Maxspect Razor 120W , Maxspect G2 160W ( Sold )Skimmer : Red Sea PrizmDosing : Brightwell Aquatics Microbacter7, Brightwell Aquatics Biofuel, Florida Aqua Farms It's Clear, Florida Aqua Farms Coralline Stimulator.

Ken_ng Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi crafyx! Awesome effort and tank! I am just starting my own 2ft and this thread has definitely been an inspiration. Hope that you could share some info with me regarding your setup a) what skimmer are you running on your tank and how often do you need to clean it? what is in your canister filter and how often do you need to clean it? c) do you run a chiller? Is the evaporation rate very high? Thank you in advance for taking time to share this amazing setup with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using red sea prizm hob skimmer ( not really powerful but should do a decent job if your tank is not fully stocked with fish ) . Doing WC change every 2 weeks using salt mixed water, cleaning and change of media of canister is every 2 months , wavemaker - i will try to rinse daily as food always stuck there. My nitrate and po4 is controlled by additives . Recently i increased 2 drops/day ( see my signature at btm if you wan to know the additives i am using ) . I using biohome plus, chemi pure, sponge filter from usa ( not sure what brand ) Not using chiller Evaporation rate is 3 litres/week. Hope it helps !

Ken_ng Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi carfyx! Thank you very much for sharing! It definitely gave me some assurance that in on track.. Is there any reason why you opted for the Red Sea skimmer? Read that it's very noisy.. Is yours really that audible? Any ATO or you do it manually? Cheers Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ATO or you do it manually? Cheers Ken The reason i opt for red sea cause it is very sleek and there is a designer ego in me. Its not really loud , i would say its quite quiet if you know where to plug the air tube. I top up manually using fairprice distilled water.
