Hrm, 26 degrees is great~ But make sure your water temperature doesn't fluctuates too much within the day. High temperature changes will cause your LS and especially inverts stress.

26ºC is great!!! In fact, my tank (with chiller) only set at 27ºC!!! Wow ur aircon very "powderful", lol. But do not get too excited... as highlighted by bro Qxn earlier... the real success comes when you can maintain an acceptable level throughout the day... not fluctuating more than 2ºC. Any changes more than that can simply feels like our room suddenly turn into a sauna...

What time u on your light? Coz, to minimize fluctuation, I will on my light at night... I know it sounds odd, but by doing so, u will balance the day and night difference. At night, the light will act like a heater, heating ur water to avoid it dropping too low... say 24ºC or 25ºC in the middle of the night... anyway, tell us ur light timing... then we can work it out :)

you mean 24-25 degree is too cold for the ls and corals?

anyway i didnt turn on my air con at all for the whole day cos i was out when my tank measured for 26degrees

i will check my tank temperature around 2am cos thats when my room feel the coldest until 6am .. i usually switch on my lights at 12pm or 11am earliest and switch it off at 12-12.30 am... but i dun exactly switch it off cos i will leave the two LED light throughout the night till i switch on the main lights..

i heard this method helps to balance the pH of my tank.. is it true?

anyway i fed my plate coral with chopped prawns and it became like this~!!

bloated up alot lo .. is it normal? :lol:

Nah... 24-25ºC is okay for corals... it's just that the hottest might be a big difference... but if ur hottest is 26ºC, then I guess it's ok. You should run ur lights on timer... must on and off at the same time every day, it's more natural that way.

Be careful when u dose ur whole tank with coral food coz without a skimmer, it is extremely hard to remove overdosing (unless emergency water change). Just my 2 cents :-)

yeah actually i thinking dosing the whole cap of coral food is for either lazy people or they have a big tank with lots of corals... but i still trying to find out whats the proper way to manual feed..

i got a syringe and i push it gently above the corals but i see the coral food floating upwards so IMO the coral isnt feed the full amount that i pushed out..

like that feed correct ma?

Off the pump... so the food will stay in place a little longer... I think target feed is more effective than dosing the entire tank... again depending of what kinda corals u keep, if for Zoos lol... don't bother. Also, not all corals rely heavily on additional food source coz they can generate their own thru photosynthesis. If u on your light for 12 hours... shrooms and zoos can take care of themselves. I only target feed my Blue Sea Fan and Sun Coral.

And I don't usually dose the whole tank. When I feed my Sea Fan and Sun, the leftovers will also benefit the others... that's all and my other corals look very healthy :D

A medium size Sun Coral cost around $15. Shouldn't pay more than that unless the colony is big or already opened in the LFS tank. Clam... em... not sure ur lighting can support it... do check with other bros... I heard the more common ones, Tridacna Crocea requires the most light... normally T5 or MH.

Think twice before getting ok? Coz a decaying clam can crash your tank easily.

crocea clams, i heard from a bro who has been reefing for the last 12 years... told me its the least light intesnive. following wich maximus clams are the hardest to keep, needing MH. he has kept croceas in his tank for years with only FL tubes. and they are ok...

and this is from a very reliable source, my favourite LFS to go to... AM!!!!

Emm... perhaps I was told wrongly about Croceas being the most demanding when it comes to light... well, that's good to hear coz I have 2 Croceas on my sand bed :rolleyes:
