Hi Alvin, this is something that I don't understand. I see that your Cyanarina are placed on the rock at the top of the tank while most would said that it's best to place at the bottom with low flow and light. But I see your Cyanarina are doing very well. Any secrets? BTW do you glue them to the bigger rock?

firstly...the placement on the top dosent hav a very strong flow..the lightings i use is only T5s HO..so placing on top wldnt be a prob....even if using MH....placing on top is nt a problem at all..

constant feeding is required..for me drip marine snow diluted wif freshwater every 4 days..

and no.....no epoxy is used to glue all 3 of them.

latest update......the true octo tt i tried to save up the lorry....seems lyk a bad week for my tank....

[Alvin Tan]

just check my water parameters using tropic marin test kits...

salinty - 1.022

calcium - 488ppm(too high)

magnesium - 1320ppm(slightly high)

KH - 8

Nitrate - 1mg

Phosphate - 0.3mg

overall im quite pleased wif the results except for the calcium...

guess i shld stop the mixutre of coralife salt and use purely zoomix when i do the next water change..

[Alvin Tan]

finally...manage to get a can of formula 2 ocean nutrition pellets!!...

i can sae tt my dispar anthias dosent wan to eat the vita diet and only eats brine shrimp for the past week...but ever since i feed the formula 2....it became greedy n even snatch the pellets!...haha....guess they realli lyk the smell of garlic..

save alot of trouble for feeding the frozen brine shrimps....
