wah ur tank looks really nice. im using standard local cheap tank 3ft tank to try keeping saltwater fish. almost a year now got zoas and a few lps. using tapwater with antichlorine. my torch n brain n favia n zoos all bought as frag from local reefer are doing well. to check kh n cal initially i use salifert but i try api i got same results. parameters just follow wat expert say but the most impt to me is salinity bcos i think its not called saltwater tank for nothing. never do direct feeding but broadcast feeding with zoo n phytoplankton, coral frenzy, poly labs, dried mysis all mixed together in a bowl then just dump the whole thing in. twice a week. my sps is in a different tank. cannot mix they like to eat dat much

Bro, if this continue, u may want to do a major water change reliable, nsw . Try Steven from lck. Been using his water since day one. All lps superbly well. None of my lps perish using his water..

Thanks, I will consider doing that. But all of the corals are doing fine now. I am using salt mix only coz don't have car to buy NSW.

Do you smell what my tank is cooking..

This shows the damage in the coral cost by nipping from one of the fish.

Hi bro, thanks.

My tank is almost a year now same with my R420R. all of my lps are fine except the two open brain that I lost recently also the elegancy. I am using salifert test kits and refractometer. I think my KH flactuate a bit coz I dont test for quite sometime but still it's within the range. I am not really sure what is the cause, why my coral die. It just didn't open for few days and the fish started tearing it off.

Where do you stay?
