Hi Tanggy

I may busy with my club work.Lot of meetings and plans as we are holding selections to represent Singapore in competition in USA,Italy and Europe.The hold events will be over in early August.

At the same time the tank maker is on reservist,will be meeting him next week.

Will inform you once I had the tank as I need your guidance.

I hope you won't sue me for copyright as I may follow most of your design and tactic :)

Anyone have had green algae before?? wonder how to get rid of them... hmm.... but jus a bit and not as ugly as red so doesnt matter. was worst but the coraline is getting a foothold so will probably jus let it be. plus it does add a bit of color! KE KE

Hi Tanggy,

beautiful setup and tank.

However, a word of caution though. Slow down. 2.5 months is still quite young. If I'm not wrong, the diatom and cyano stage should be coming soon....if its not already over.

The green algae is normal of young setup, it will go away in another 3 to 4 months time if conditions maintain stable.

For the 1st 4 months usually nitrate will be very very low. It will start building up in the 4th month onwards. DSB only kicks in after at least 6 to 8 months later (earliest....usually takes a yr). So your 0 nitrate reading is due to young tank and not because of DSB kicking in.

In any case, you're doing well and I love the moorish idol. I have tried to keep moorish but failed twice. :erm:

Thanks. Know what you mean. not adding LS liao. Now going through diatom. but less liao. ;)

Well the NO3 did go up to 10 then came down to 0ppm without water change. so I also donno if its the sand bed. but the rocks probably help. they are from my old tank and quite mature liao. :unsure:

Sadly to say. the moorish idol pass on last week after surviving 5 weeks in my hank.... sob sob.... :(
