Dear Fellow Reefers,

Been new to the hobby for about 2 months now and have just rebuilt my tank after experiencing my first crash.

Please feel free to browser and post some valuable comments for improvements.

Thanks.

The clownfish had been a surface dweller...but since the introduction of 3 blue chromis...its has suddenly frolicking in the jewel coral like it was an anemone!!

Wonder if its normal stressed behaviour or is he developed an itch?

bro.. how many fishes you have in your tank ?

for a 24g jbj cube, should have the most 6 fishes, but recommended to have 5 fishes and below, bioload could be high and will boost nitrate fast.

You have chiller in your connection ?

without the chiller, quite difficult to maintain the temp especially the hot weather will be approaching soon.

Hi Marinesavvy,

Thanks for the tip.

Currently I have 7 fishes, but I plan to include one more cleaner shrimp.

But first, I plan to monitor the nitrate level closely for the next 2 weeks.

I think thats the max number, as the fishes may also grow. I made sure that I picked the small fishes and not big ones. But you are right, potentially when they are fully grown, they will contribute to the nitrate load.

I'm looking at the possibility of a chiller if its not too expensive, but the fan that I'm using (timed with my lights), is keeping the temperature at an average of 27-28 degrees. So its still manageable at the moment.

With the hotter months approaching, I may invest in a separate timer for the fan, to turn on more frequently apart from the current setup of 3-11pm.

Do advise if you have a good recommendation on chillers that are compatible to the NC 24G. I understand some reefers had to modify their origianl covers to allow the tubings in.

Cheers
