ReefLover Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Thanks for all reply. I've cycle the tank water for about 3 weeks and now in the stage of planning what fish & coral to be added in. Water Parameter: Ammonia level = between 0.0 to 0.2 Nitrate (NO2) = Unknown (Don't have any test kit) Nitrite (NO3) = Zero Water Salinity = 1.22 Temperature = 30 degree (High) Tank setup information: 2ft tank 7Kg Life Rock Canister Filter 10Watt aquarium fluroscent light Protein Skimmer More questions: - What is the most economy way to bring down (control) the water temperature? - Why protein skimmer foam getting harder to raise to the top of the cup with the same setting of high and water level? Anything to do with water condition (e.g. water purification)? - Any recommendation on placing different type of coral in tank? (e.g. Anemone at sand level and mushroom on life rock to prevent contact with each other). - How coral sting each other and how we know it has happen? - Is liquid coral food from aquarium shop sufficient or still need feeding of prawn meat.....? - How to feed the Anemone & Mushroom with fish or prawn meat? Using hand or .....? Any movie clip to show? Thanks and Best Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Tang Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 10watts is far too little light intensity to sustain reef creatures which rely on light to survive, unless you are intending to keep non-photosynthetic creatures only. Based on the questions you ask, I think you should read up more on basic reefkeeping and marine livestock info. Our piecemeal answers to piecemeal questions will do you more harm. Take your time to browse thru sites like http://saltaquarium.about.com.. they have a beginner's guide and good info. You should spend at least a few hours reading a day.... to gather as much info before you start a reef tank, ideally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ai[k²]wan Posted September 9, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 9, 2003 lights is too weak, gotta change.. use 2x36 watt PL should be enough, if not 1x55 watt PL. dont think mushroom eat prawn meat... What is the most economy way to bring down (control) the water temperature? fan my advise is dont think about anemone yet.. your lighting cannot la bro.. try and wait and wait and wait... anemone is unpredictable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReefLover Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 hey ammonia should be 0 I'm using liquild type of ammonia test kit. The color template only show 0.2, 0.5 .... for comparison. Reason I consider it as 0.1 is because the result coloration is much lighter than color indicated for 0.2. Is there anyone ever do a testing on the tape water ammonia level? I did it once and the result show 0.2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
