My 2 1/2 Tank

[nicholasloh]

I'm back to posting another thread for my tank.

I'll try not to lose my temper like the last time, but please help me by phrasing more politely. And never give me a rude comment and say sorry in the end because I will get pissed at it.

And I would certainly prefer that you guys dont bring up the stupid past and stick it here. So what you see here is what you see about my tank.

If i'm rude, forgive me. I'm very apologitic if i scolded u.

what testkits are u using?.

ur NO3 0?. without DSB, no sump, no refugium, just a canister.

can give some advice how u maintain it at 0, with so many fishes in ur tank.

[nicholasloh]

I'm using tetra now, but once its finished i will change.

Try putting some beneficial bactera liquid once in about 2 weeks although they prescribed 1 week.

Better still add when needed.

Try this!

You might want to cut down on the stocking. Your tank looks dangerously overstocked.

In the most polite manner possible...might i ask what happened to your anemone?
