Nice rock work in ur tank! I am a frequent visitor to Aquamarin. Looking at ur tank, it gives me the impression that u want to build a similar tank to their show tank rt??

Just as many experts have advise, I suggest that u change ur skimmer to a needle-wheel one. I am using a macro AS-150. Price range around $100-150. Good and value for money.

Dymax T5 are cheap BUT, if u look at the power rating (I refer to the watts) It is usually lower than other brands. I suggest u self-mod one, or u upgrade to a better set of lights. But If u don't intend to keep corals, then it's ok not to change lights. Perhaps u shld get used to marine-fish keeping first before trying out other harder chores.

HO is High output, NO is normal output. HO u get more from the lights. Like they suggest use a better skimmer. Those air skimmer u have to change the wooden airpump frequent whereas others dun need. Pls leave ur water overnight b4 top up as chlorine is bad for ur fishes and corals.

Happy reefing!

Help!

I think my coralline algae are reducing!

Is it part of the cycling process?

What should I do?

Thanks!

Hi,

Today is exactly 2 week after the start of my tank cycling (i.e. day 14), did my 1st test:

PH = 8.1

NH4 = < 0.25 ppm

NO2 = 2 ppm

NO3 = 50 ppm

Any comments?

Thank You.
