34litres Nano Reef Wonder

After the period of successful treatment (with medication), do a water change & run carbon to deactivate the medication for a few days before putting the fish back in the display tank. This is to prevent any remaining copper or other chemical be introduced to DT

Haha, all you need is time. The nitrates will drop eventually as long as you keep doing what you do. Consistency is key.

[lurenake]

Admire your patience in ur reef keeping heeding every advice n getting every parameter in check before adding livestock!

Anyway, ur 2nd clown looks like an ocellaris to me. How much did u get it for?

Thanks bro. There are far more patient people out there. The 2nd clown is actually a local wild percula. Got it from around 4 purple notes at pinnacle.

I saw u stop using MB7 , any bad review with combo on biofuel ?

Not really bad review just that it's too effective and caused my bacteria population to explode thus resulting in the formation of white hair algae looking filaments.

But it might also be because I switch over to prodibio as well.

But do follow the instructions closely and cut down on dosage on you reach low levels of Nitrate n phosphate.

You can see how they look like at the photo with my newly added pocillipora that I posted earlier in the day

Your sps seem a little pastel. Is it due to ur lights or camera?

[ericmz]

nice nano. be sure to get those small size corals so that you dont't run out of precious real estate spaces soon.

[lurenake]

I think it's due to the lights. But after lights off only the pocci is kinda pastel looking. I have some pics of them taken in white light. I'll post them tomorrow
