Angel Keeper's 5 Feet Mixed Reef Tank

[Angel Keeper]

Sorry andtsg... I just noticed your post... 6th October is the date that I stock up fishes cos I'm leaving my tank fishless to get rid of ich and marine velvet...

[tang_sohal]

Bro.. probabky quarantine super important now that you have coral. I find it almost impossible to catch fish out with corals. Oh and btw wont your shipwreck accumulate detritius? I wanted to put a similar one but was afraid it may be a holding ground for detritius

[Angel Keeper]

My tank is like a whirlpool now... Dead spots is the least of my concerns... LOL!

[Angel Keeper]

Just to answer your query, it will definitely trap detritus if there's no current in there... More or less, there will be detritus... Then again, rocks will also trap detritus... As long as you have a good system to get rid of nitrate and phosphate, there should be no worries...

Cheers!

Love your ship wreck design! Of course, love your corals too!

My wife also asked me to put a teddy bear figurine in my tank so that our girl can also like it. She loves teddy bears. But erm... teddy bear in a reef??? Hahaha.... if she had suggested a shipwreck or something like tat, i may actually consider. Lol

Got my QT with compliments from Bro Linus...

Good that u r going to quarantine all new fishes otherwise your discipline in leaving DT fallow could all be wasted. Btw, how long u leaving it fallow for? 8 weeks?

[Angel Keeper]

Yes. 8 weeks... Some say 6 weeks, but I'm not taking any chances...

[davechee]

Try 9 to be safer

[Angel Keeper]

Huh? You're making me suffer looking at a fishless tank leh...

[davechee]

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2041951 If u leave fallow 9 weeks you increase your chance of complete eradication to 99.7%.

[Angel Keeper]

*faint... Looks like I need to amend my plans again...

[Angel Keeper]

I just read further and they said that having a fallow period of 10 weeks hits 100%...

[illumnae]

Did you count your fallow period from when you added your last coral? If the coral came from a tank that had fish in it, your timer resets.

[Angel Keeper]

Didn't add any since...

[davechee]

Haha... yeah... test of patience man.
