[acidjazz]

Most of my tangs are fat and healthy.

[acidjazz]

Housing 3 copperband butterfly which seldom survives in reef tanks.

[acidjazz]

Current livestock: 45 fishes, 3 shrimps.

[jervismun]

Oh man... how much more fishes you intend to add? You are really creating a bio-load only Deltec can handle... is it?

[acidjazz]

Very good question. i will stop at 50 fishes, or max 55 fishes.

The beckett can still handle the load, Deltec have to wait.

Btw i am getting my denitrator soon!

[acidjazz]

Realised that 2 of the blue tangs and 1 yellow tang is having itch. They will definately recover feeding on garlic brine shrimps.

so far my track record for fishes, especially tangs have been good. No death recorded for blue tangs b4. Only died one Achilles tang, one yellow and one naso tang.

Yeah I'm sure you can handle some BTs and YTs... why don't you add some seaweed also... or at least local veggies... my Tangs love it!!! Seaweed can boosts immune system

Haha bro... you do not need an Aquatronica... how's the response for you Shuran? Or Bullet? Maybe you wanna lower your selling price a bit lah... then you can upgrade straight-away... coz I really need to see your Deltec... the power...

I'm running an AquaMedic Nitratreductor 1000 and my NO3 has never exceed 5 even during the RBTA incident... but for you... you need Sulphur for sure

jervis, u already bought state-of-the-art equipments already. . dun think u wld be interested in the deltec 851.

i have sold the schuran. . just taking my time to upgrade to the deltec. . its not cheap man. . even the denitrator will add up to almost $500 with the sulphur beads and agronite calcium material.

i had this thermometer but i sold it away cuz i thought i didnt need it. I went to buy another one. . bang wall. . haha. .

since its in ur office, u prob need a super quiet chiller and not too much heat. Since its 2 ft, u can use the Arctica 1/10 hp which is $1100.

what other equipments u need?

Bro... my new office tank is 160+ US Gallons lah... 4.5ft tank with 3ft sump I think I need to consider a commercial unit already... can hang outside... old shop houses.

[godzillaliu88]

bro acid. all the fishes leaving peacfully together? no fights or chansing around at all?

[Altantis]

WOW lots of tangs... tang here, tang there, tang everywhere

[acidjazz]

Jervis: the arctica 1/5 hp can power up the 4 footer. So why dun u put ur current arctica in the office and get another bigger unit for ur future project at home. If get commercial unit quite expensive cuz need to find people to mount the bracket for the chiller etc etc etc. .

godzilla: Most of the fishes are peaceful. Only the yellow tangs tend to fight a little among themselves but no serious damage.
