brother...kindly advise us on the intended tank size and corals/fishes you intend to stock...any draft of setup....let's start from there ;)

once the guys know more details......advices will come flooding thru the door.

My contribution: Use live aragonite sand !!!! Definitely helped me start off my new tank on the right footing.

Regarding Zeovit, I am slowly staring to appreicate it more as I just discovered I have not been buying phytoplanktons and ROWA anymore for quite a while.

oh yah...to avoid pple mistaking you as a newbie....I changed your thread title :evil:

Anyway, bro...you gonna go smaller or bigger this time?

And the aragonite works indeed...I still have some of them awaiting me to crush into smaller sizes for my next setup come August. :P

Not really.. I think DB had bought this brand of aragonite sand. Somemore, it's livesand. :)

It cost around $40+ per package. You find it in Reb***, ML..

Good Luck dude.

I sold away all my sps....you can keep them if you are able to keep the old tank and new tank together for a few months before you decommission the old one...

In your case...you want to move house.....cannot lor.

I want to reserve the purple one :lol:

Seriously....start new tank...get new corals...more fun and scaping not restricted by the amount of corals waiting to jump in.

Regarding the MH...have 3 pendents if you going full SPS....if not...can do valley scape....have the 2 pendents cover the 2 ends where your sps will be and let the T5s balance up the spread a bit.

Lastly...no one answer your appeal for advice? can go back to this

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
