acanthus Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Hi Chris, Hope u dun be mad abt my comment. Can see u put in lot of effort n $ in this hobby, but by looking at yr equipment n the rate of yr bio-loading n the nos. of fishes in a 4x2x2, its a time bomb in creation. No doubt is already 6 mths, most crushes happen ard 9 to 12 mths. Lots of effort needed to control the parameter n nitrate level. my 2 cent worth. happy reefing.

SRC Member Chris Posted October 9, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 9, 2003 Can see u put in lot of effort n $ in this hobby,but by looking at yr equipment n the rate of yr bio-loading n the nos. of fishes in a 4x2x2, its a time bomb in creation. No doubt is already 6 mths, most crushes happen ard 9 to 12 mths. Lots of effort needed to control the parameter n nitrate level. Don't worry. My tank is 2 years old and not 6 months. It is in the last 6 months that I added SPS. My bio-load is at its optimum after adjustments in the last 2 years. I have tried with too many fish and learnt the lesson. After much trials, the present is the optimum and parameters are very contant. My nitrate used to be around 10-15 for a long time until I stirred up my DBS to remove my tank for changing the foam. After that, the nitrate went up as only the sump DSB still functioning. When my DSB(main tank) slowly kick in, it will bring nitrate down. Anyway, I do not believe in maintaining nitrate at 0 cause some of my tank's inhabitant will do well with some nitrate consumption. In terms of equipment, I don't try to buy expensive equipment or overdo things, just enough. My motto is equilibrium. The only thin I am presently comtemplating to add is a calcium reactor. Some people have doubts about the Prizm but I it works fine for me cause it is just one of the few nitrient export methods I have for my tank. My skimmate quality is good and regular and it skims out as much as a schuren that I tried at one time, when I was considering changing it. Thanks for your concern. Sinner, The industrial foamis light blue in colour and about 1 inch thick. I don't know where to get it as my dad got is for me.

FuEl Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Your tank alone looks very much like mine...deja vu... Especially the black stand...it has the same patterns on the side as my tank.... Not to mention the black acrylic hiding the eyesore base of the tank...I have that too.....

SRC Member Tigger Posted October 11, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 11, 2003 A month later, I discovered my supporting foam thinning to a dangerous level and did a rescue. I dismantled everything, lifted up the tank and put in 2 pieces of foam. In the process more fish died. One week later, I discovered the foam is of poor quality and the tank tilted. Another emergency operation took place and this time I used industrial foam to be super safe. How come my name was not mentioned at all?? Nevermind, give u a chance to redeam yourself, a big ang pao for me when u drink my tea on 25 Nov! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Chris Posted October 11, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 11, 2003 Oh yah, forgotton my brother-in-law trigger, who helped my lift the tank. otherwise, sure die. Quote I think (marine) therefore I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member marinereef Posted October 15, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 15, 2003 Very nice especially ur sun polyp that opens. I have 1 too but up to now never have a chance to see it open. May I know how to make it open?? Any good advise? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Chris Posted October 15, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 15, 2003 Marinereef, Put it in a high current area. Put a little prawn juice near the sun coral. Wait patiently for 5-10 mins. Then, you'll see it slowly opening. Use a sringe and target feed it with Mysis or BS. You can literally see the polyps catching the food and closing. After 1-2 mins, it will open again for more food. Quote I think (marine) therefore I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
