Good setup. I like the way you organised your 2 returns and positioning of wavemaker for a 2 feet. You have done your homework well. Maybe after a full cycling and a stronger light set , you are good to give a try on LPS. I used to have a similar setup and i used 3 units of Par38.

Bro, im also a fresh water jumper. Started 3weeks back. I bought live rock from lfs.

I found some creatures on my liverocks and tot its cool cos its like a free gift from buying liverocks.

After posting it in sgreefclub, to my horrow its bery bad creatures, mantis shrimp and bobbit worms.

If u using liverock from lfs, look through it, see the holes got hidden creatures anot.

Alot bros here ask me quickly remove as they will eat corals and fishes.

Hi bro... welcome to the nano reef club... Nice scape you have there. Lots of potential.

Sometimes, just looking is not enough, some of these buggers are very good at hiding. I soaked my liverock from the lfs in distilled water for couple of days and a bunch of worms fell out.

Yes it's from fresh n marine. Have been running around singapore to look for tank. But still prefer this tank.

Have been doing research online and with friends on marine tank before I buy.

I cycle my tank only for 10days. With live rocks, live sand and got the water and some ceremic rings from my friends tank with bacteria dose from ah beng.

I have been checking every morning for pest hitchhiker. Have removed 2 worms and a slug with my pincers. And still monitoring everyday.

I am still look for black common clown but sold out at most shop. Must wait till after cny.

2 feet tank. I just wanna see how much the sg change when water evaporate. After I have all the figures I will remove it.

Wow, from that size of the clown fishes I thought its a 4 footer. Anyway if u gonna add another type of clown, there's a chance they might fight with ur existing pair or the newcomer will get bullied.

I have a ghost skimmer at the back. And the pump is come together with the tank. And 2 cartridge of 3 layer filter sponge. 1 on the left and one on the right.

Haha. Singapore have trick eye museum but I have trick eye fish tank. I have ask few of the shop abt putting orange and black ocellaris clown. They say it's ok. But try to get smaller size black. If other kind of clown then cannot. My friend also told me this. Hopefully it works. Cos my daughter realli likes the orange clown but I like the black clown.

Bro,

To get rid of critters in the liverocks, the easiest way for me is to soak them in freshwater for about 10-20 mins. A lot of these worms etc would crawl out and die right before your eyes. It's better this than putting the liverocks into the tank and monitoring them from outside.

 

Aquarium 3 - 250 liters with sump and refugium

Jebao DC 6000 pump with speed controller

Skimz skimmer

AI Hydra 52 HD

Hailea HS-66A (1/4 hp) chiller

Maxspect Gyre

TLF Phosban reactors with Phosban

Tunze nano osmolator

Marine Magic Triplet Dosing

 

Aquarium 1 - 27 litres

Atman HF-0600 HOB filter

Maxspect Razor Nano 60W (10,000 K)

AOL 60 litres chiller

Tunze Nano Osmolator

Bro, that time i put in fresh water the bobbit crowl out but ah i use thong to kiap it, it breaks into 2 then the half of it went back in the hole.

Till now the half still alive inside.. Im gonna dip it again in fresh water to let it crawl out fully.
