Now No3 is in the 3 level from 5 level. try to change the 80% water this weekend :(

Sis, looking real good (and real packed)... it's sad to see a tank fully packed actually... no more LFS shopping :cry2:

Changing of water may not be the long term solution for controlling NO3 effectively in my opinion. And changing 80% is way too extreme, you may want to reconsider that. Perhaps 20% weekly.

Personally, I try not to rely solely on water change to control nutrients reason being... I might get lazier next time, busy at times and I do travel more often towards year end. And water change is both expensive and time consuming.

Perhaps you want to consider introducing a Nitrate Reductor (Denitrator) into the system. A reliable working Denitrator can help maintain NO3 at almost undetectable level at all time.

But the most effective "weapon" of all is a good efficient skimmer. I am confident that your NO3 will be much lesser if you are to run a more efficient/powerful protein skimmer.

Since you can't add much corals to your tank now... perhaps focus on hardware :lol: It's a cycle... with better equipments... you can add in more corals!!! ;):pinch::unsure::unsure:

Note: My last sentence was meant to be a joke. It can be true... but too controversial a statement :lol:

Nice purple anemone. I might be wrong but i'm afraid the anemone might be artificially dyed. ;)

Let us work together to preserve the world for our children to inherit by being responsible to our surroundings. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, bubbles and memories.

I initially thought so too... but that Anemone has been with Sis for a couple of weeks now... so I take it as its natural colour :)
