Admiraltian Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Depends on individual's standards and likings. For a start 10%wc weekly will be gd, once tank have stabilized, can reduce to maybe 5% weekly? Less maintenance less hassle too.

Wolfyie Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I think I screwed up the tank abit. Puffer turned blue and passed away today. My camelback shrimp also died. Not sure if it was the sudden water change or the chiller. Chiller at 25 degrees.

SRC Member james72 Posted April 5, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 5, 2014 This is my guess & analysis, may not be 100% right but you can try. The skimmer from first compartment is correct and it helps to skim the water off nutrients as well as oxygenate the water. But your oxygenate water need to push through the sand in order to reach the third compartment. During this process, the water loses the oxygen content and return back to main tank. I suspect your live stocks die because of the lack of oxygen. Put all the sand in a container and see if it improves.

SRC Member james72 Posted April 5, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 5, 2014 Daiso should be a good place to find such containers. If u cant get a big correct size one, use two smaller size containers also can.
