Guest Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 care to share ur NO3 reading . what testkit are u using by the way . any intention to add coral ? 1 month ago, NO3 it was at 100ppm!!! Using Tetra.. After dosing AZ-NO3 for 3 weeks, managed to reduced it to 25ppm. Had maintain them at this level for a week now. Still monitoring... like to keep Anemone. But is NO3 of 25ppm too high? It need lots of light too right? then electric bill going up. Still thinking... Also consider upgrading skimmer too... Now using Weipro. No Kopi-o, only light green tea Still thinking too..

Guest Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Any idea if this Auriga Butterflyfish eat anemone? Heard it is not reef safe Anemone not reef right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member sunny03 Posted November 14, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 14, 2005 Bro a nice config you have 4*2.5*2 Love your rockscape. Looks like you are trying to create a shallow reef slope where your right side is the open water. But it a waste to go for fish only. Maybe you can try to get some low light requirement corals. Like discoma or sun coral. But becareful of your butterfly fish. Try to get some anthies or schooling fishes. Quote Selling big game fishing equipment.
