bwilly Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 eh y u use MH on fowlr then..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weileong Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 I bought the 2ft setup because I need the cabinet space to store some supporting equipment (like CF, CO2 cylinder, kalk reactor etc) for the 4ft reef. Then I planned it as a seahorse ###### softies tank. Later the idea was abandoned so since I already got the MH light so I just use it. I just on it when I need to view the tank so the power consumption would not be that high but I will change to PL or T5 in due time.

In long run save plus no need to use any fan at all. MH IMO, only for reef. sell away your MH lohz. but MH does gives u a ripple lighting kind of look associate with the sea.. I am supplementing my MH with arcadia actinic blue. it does look nice like deep sea kind of look. (when MH asleep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weileong Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 I am not sure abt compatibility as I already have a golden angel in the tank. Will adding a bicolor, flame and coral beauty cause any problem? Anyone? Quote Weileong's 4ft tank Part I Weileong's 4ft tank Part II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member patrick123 Posted June 7, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 7, 2004 So who said reef tank setup is more expensive than FOWLR? Eventhough in the reef tank you need to invest heavily on the equipment to ensure perfect water quality, at least you don't have to buy LS to be wasted by the butterfly. hehehe I'm just wondering if the butterfly start to pick on the anemone and it decides to up lorry, won't that be dangerous as it may crash the tank?

SRC Member Acanthurus pyroferus Posted June 7, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 7, 2004 with enough hiding places the dwarfs should do well and not be so quarrelsome with one another.....

The anemone is just a very small one, coin size, if it up the lorry it won't affect the water too. But definately once they start pecking I will be feeding frozen food and will not let the anemone rot in the tank.

My bet...put both two fish at the same time if you really want. And buy same size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weileong Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 I stick to my poor golden angel for the time being. Being the single angel in the tank it already hidding most of the time.

SRC Member nutx Posted June 7, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 7, 2004 Another interesting thread started. Btw, sharing the same sump as your reef tank, won't you not concern abt the bioloads and pollution? Deepblue, my tank will welcome any adult naso tangs.....

DeepBlue Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Deepblue, my tank will welcome any adult naso tangs..... sure...wait till it overgrows my wife's 6 ft tank next year (project shelved to next year ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weileong Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Btw, sharing the same sump as your reef tank, won't you not concern abt the bioloads and pollution? Now no space, no choice but the most ideal case is to have every separate. Let's see how to works out.
