Seamarine,

I guess you are on a very tight budget as I can see that your marine tank is inadequately setup.

1. Your tank is bigger than your stand. Watch out for instability.

2. Using small white rocks...what is it made of? Marble? Sandstone? White granite? You may want to research a bit more about sandbeds if you want a stable system that can process nitrates. Is it just for decoration then?

3. You have too little liverock or in fact.. not the rock that are used for marine. Yours look like a granite rock. These are very non-porous, dense and heavy and do not serve to be part of your biological filter system.

4. Your lighting is grossly inadequate for keeping hard corals. Please upgrade to a much higher wattage and quantity as soon as possible.

5. You are way overstocked for a tank that size and a filtration system which is grossly inadequate. Do not listen to Giritharan as he is obviously still a beginner like you.

I suggest the following action to be taken or I can guarantee you that your marine livestock will die within a few short weeks.

1. Throw away your white pebbles and use #0 sand to form at least 4 inches of DSB. Recommended 6 inchs deep. You may lose some height but it will aid your system in processing nitrates to harmless nitrogen in the long term.

2. Throw away your rocks and buy at least enough Liverocks (LR) from LFS to fill up 70% of your tank.

3. Do regular water changes to dilute water pollution.

4. Get a sump tank to increase water volume and put in a larger skimmer to maintain your tank. You can use GA carbon to help your system. If you can't get a sump tank due to space... a big canister may be your next best choice but you have to do much more regular maintenance compared to a sump tank method. OHF systems are useless for marine (and there has been many reports of aquariums catching fire due to these pumps recently in the newspapers).

5. Add in more lights or upgrade to pack in as much lights as possible over your tank. What you have now is totally inadequate.

6. Give away 50% of your fishes.

7. Read up more.

8. Throw away that plastic photo background... it makes your tank look crowded but totally unnatural.

This is not to scold you or look down on you, but you really have to stop listening to LFS advice and look at how more experienced hobbyists are doing things and don't experiment at this stage. Many people have walked down the newbie stage and now are passing on their experience to you to help you save time and money and prevent livestock losses.

Learn from us and save yourself a lot of grief.

If you are open to learning... we are more than happy to teach! :)

hi AT,

I am not doubting your experience here...but just need to know if filling up to 70% of the tank with LR will limit the swimming space of the fishes.

How abt 50% of tank wiyth of LR instead ? Cheer !

AT, just to correct you..the OVER HANGING FILTERS DID NOT catch fire due to problems...as far as I investigated..How can pumps catch fire..when there is WATER>>

Is cos..LUO HAN pple plug too many applicances into one socket..cost over heating..

version 2...they did not top up water....so pump ran dry and overheat..

My canister inlet came OFF once....and lucky nothing happen just heat up

version 3...The overheating in version 1...caused fire..NOT the devices..but they had to MAKE UP STORY to claim insurance..

WHICH BRINGS me to a CONCERN>...how do you calculate the SAFE NO of devices and WATTAGE/ current etc..to COnnect to one Power Source

i think when those cheap overhead louhan filter cause fire, its more of those non-submerged pump which are placed beside the filter box. i really can see them catching fire esp, since they actually have no contact with water. and its very possible for electrical appliances(in this case, cheap quality filter powerhead) to malfunction and sometimes cause hazzard due to poor quality. if poor quality equipment does not have the potential to cause fires etc, i really don't see the point of the in charge board issueing safety mark stickers etc.

      contact@ digitaltechguard .com website link:: https://digitaltechguard.com telegram +56 997 059 700 Being an artist living in Miami, my life has always been filled with creativity, inspiration, and the ups and downs of a fluctuating income. However, nothing could prepare me for the financial blow I experienced when I fell victim to an online scam. Losing $25,000 felt like losing a part of my identity, as those funds represented not just my savings but also dreams and aspirations for my art. I found myself feeling lost, anxious, and uncertain about the future. In the midst of this turmoil, I began searching for solutions to recover my lost funds. That’s when I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Initially, I was skeptical. Like many, I had read about recovery services that promised the world but often delivered nothing. However, my instincts told me to reach out to them, and I’m so glad I did. From the very first interaction, the team at Digital Tech Guard Recovery was professional and compassionate. They took the time to understand my situation, guiding me through the recovery process step by step.

Digital Tech Guard Recovery walked me through the necessary documentation and evidence collection to support my case. They were patient, answering all my questions and providing me with updates throughout the process. Their expertise was evident, and it was comforting to know that I was in capable hands. It felt as if I had a team of advocates on my side, fighting to reclaim what was rightfully mine. Over the next few weeks, I watched as they diligently worked on my case. They kept me informed about their progress and what steps were being taken. I had almost lost hope, but their determination reignited my faith in the possibility of recovery. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I received the news that my funds had been successfully recovered. I couldn't believe it—I was overjoyed. This experience not only restored my finances but also rekindled my belief in support systems. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery.
