Really nice ! Where you bought it from?

[Darren Sim]

By the way bros, i got a problem. I want to rescape my rocks again and maybe add one more packet of live sand, will it be alot of problem? My tank was cycled finish and now i take out all of the fishes and rescape it. Suggestions?

[xinde]

If it's me I wouldn't add anymore sand as the depth of it looks fine . the most I would touch will be rocks only as sand can get real messy and cloud up your tank. Also I think there's some at Pacific reef !

okay bro ! But how long must i wait till i put my fish in again? Let it run for a week then test?

Actually if your tank has already been cycled i think it will only take about 1 day for the sediments to settle down and you can test your water as the existing bacteria in your tank should be enough and able to handle any spikes caused by the disturbance of the sand. Just make sure no livestock is present when you add the new sand and that all the parameters look good before you add them back in. Maybe the other more experienced reefers can guide both of us in this if I'm wrong!

Hi bro, I'm going to get everything in a small size then slowly see them grow! Haha. Btw what do you mean your urchin move your zoa? They literally move zoa from one side to another?

The urchin's spikes with poke ur zoas and it will go around ur tank with it.

Update !! 

Decided to change my rockscape after seeking advises from reefers and also my best friend Google!  

Gonna let my tank rest for 2-3 days before testing. My clownfish is currently waiting in my QT tank !

Left my tank alone for 2days after rescape my rocks ! Tested my water perimeter and ammonia, nitrite is 0, nitrate is 20ppm

Mg- 930ppm need to increase 

KH- 8.5DKH

Cal - 430ppm

Phosphate- 0.08ppm need to decrease

Nice tank man, like your rockscape! Gives the tank depth

btw if I may suggest, go slow on the increase in bioload & allow your system to catch up with increase...

Hey, may I know if the chromis you have are blue green chromis? haha the colours look quite unique from the photo so I'm just wondering if they are a variety I've yet to come across. Thanks!

Hi bro, How's your shrimp and snail? All doing ok? Normally i use drip acclimation haha "Coward" me

[JMW]

Why "coward" leh? Drip acclimation works for them as they are sensitive to sudden changes in temp, salinity, etc

especially the snails I think
