Simple FOWLR 4X2.5X2

[Guest]

Hi

This is my first marine tank. Only 3month old. Was really encouraged by all the posting you all had. So decided to take part too.

Hope you all can give some comment and encouragement to my simple setup....

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.. Saving up

nice nice tank.. u might wan to change ur test kit to salifert? it will give a more correct reading.. ya.. anemone i think u can keep ba.. but becareful about them going to ur over flow or power head.. ya.. haha..

[Guest]

Any idea if this Auriga Butterflyfish eat anemone?

Heard it is not reef safe

Anemone not reef right?

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.

[LoReNsIa]

they wont eat anemone.. cause they anemone sting.. ya..

[Guest]

Ok

looks like my next target would be anemone

but still will do some read up first. Just to know what i'm to look out for...

Coral? Maybe after a year or so, not so experience yet, no want to kill coral, so beautiful ..

thanks again for all the comments

nice tank n nice fish....hahha

[acidjazz]

I suggest Schuran jetskim 150 skimmer for your tank or a Deltec APF851.

[iceman]

Get a better Skimmer u won't regret. N ur bio ring and coral chip... this will become No3 factory.. Just my 2 cent.

Btw Nice tank u got there.

happy reefing
