New Project

[Rocky99]

March 05

finally decided to embark on a new tank project to give my fish more space to swim about and more corals thanks to fellow reefers here who offered help and advice, and who kindly allowed me to pop by to draw inspiration from their beautiful tanks.

link to my old tank thread. no longer in existence. tearing it down wasnt a simple job.

bro, ur new tank looks good and i can see some expensive equipment you have.

btw the red sea salfin tang is doing very well. . feeds on mysis, brine shimps, pellets, flakes, seaweed and prawn meat (which i used to feed my corals).

Wow! Nice looking tank you've got there Rocky! It's a divider tank right?

Is that a macro ph controller I see?

thanks bro.

thats the tiny ocean combo ph monitor and thermometer from bio ocean. its advertised in the sponsor's forum, v good deal. i like it cos can read off at night with the illuminated LED. and better still numbers are big.

temp readings impt cos i'm using a resun 650, which may not be v reliable. but for time being it's fine, chiller can cool to 26.9, and is placed in the kitchen.

this is something i found very useful. no regrets despite burning a hole in my pocket. could never raise my kh above 8 no matter how much bicarb i used.

after running it for a week, my parameters all fall in range.

got 2 additional add-ons but not enough media to fill it.

[Rocky99]

thats all for now, folks for your time. feel free to comment.
