Jacky's Aquamedic Chromis Tank

[jervismun]

But if u r to buy from a reefer, then no need to wait lah... straight away can add into ur tank... but u must take the rock from his water-filled tank and rush home quickly.

You need to make ur rockscape as high as possible to hide the pumps behind. You can also push the scaping nearer to the back so u can have another small island in front. No need to leave too much room behind, wasted space.

Bro Hammy, if you wanna get rid of ur zoos... u know where the Salvation Army depot is right?

[colinsoon]

dun need go so far if you need to rid the zoos. juz call 92709460 and a person will go down pick it up from you within 5 hours. haha

[jervismun]

What's the UV good for... besides killing harmful bacterias and parasites?

Bro Colinsoon... u so "kiasu" meh? Ok, I let u win first... after ur exam... I will post "someone will come collect at your place within 30 min"

[colinsoon]

hahahaha.. not really kiasu la...

how bout puttin it in a way like... the typical SINGAPOREAN syndrome... or or or.. i am a cheapo Boy...

[jervismun]

Bro Hammy if u don't post more pix soon... ur thread will become SRC members' chat room

Sorry

[hammy]

no more picture to show for the moment ....a bit empty now . will show when there are interesting stuff.

BTW ... who says i am releasing my zoo . haha.

UV is good to a certain extend to control free swimming parasite and algae ie diatom

ammonia :0

nitrite:0

nitrate :5 mg/l ( TM)

phosphate: undetectable ( salifert )

still wondering now should i used the AZ-NO3 or invest in a denitrator . i know denitrator is not just a plug and play stuff. need to monitor .

sorry guys , currently i have to let it be a chatroom as i really have no pic but i will continue to post interesting pic if i have .

decided to invest in a tunze magnet although there's a risk of scratching my tank again

[jervismun]

Bro r u serious in adding another Deltec into ur tank? Coz I've seen it and it's kinda impressive... hehe can I get one also

[SerpentStar]

Hi Jack

Just a note, i might be wrong...

But overskimming can be bad too, you remove goodies like trace, minerals, magnesium, etc....so u might have to dose addictives (it would be costly) or more frequent water changes...Besides yr tank is quite a softie tank...overskimming wouldnt be too good in IMO.

Glad u happy with the Chromis

Happy Reefing

yes this is one of my concern too .

apparently there are 2 schools of thought .

the sales assistant over at RD told mi there is no such thing as overskimming , only underskimming .

while the other is like what u say , my good stuff will be skim out too .

currently doing more reading b4 doing anything .

anyway the biostar flotor is enough for my current loading .

the cheapest way of replacing the trace element in our system is to have regular water change don't have to be a big water change. 5% weekly is good enough this way, you don't have to dose any trace element cos we don't know which element that your system is lacking... we can't measure that

so, the safer and cheaper is to have regular water change

Go... quickly come back or else ur LR will become DR (dead rock) Tonight's gonna be a long long night for you

[colinsoon]

bro, rocks dun die off so quickly. imagine all the rocks during low tide. 6 hours no water, all become dead?

rocks are still ok even after 8 hours exposed. from quite a few LFS dat i asked around.

Emm... u got a point there... wonder why I always rush home after collecting LR from bros...

[hammy]

decided not to build too high ... feel like getting five chromis and put inside the tank . what do u all think ?

To go along the name of the tank? Other than that... there's not much reason to add Chromis. I got 2 and they are not always pretty... they sometimes look nice when the lighting above is right, at certain angles, they look very ugly. They eat a lot and grow quickly too. And removing them from the tank will be almost impossible coz they swim so fast.

Re scaping... u dun want to cover ur pumps and pipes meh?
