Me not into deep study of the coral so don't know the name to it

[hammy]

only a maroon clown?

[yikai]

nice tank and nice iphone! some of the corals u chose are really demanding like the goniopora. do note that some leather corals can be toxic to LPS. run carbon and change it 2-4 months.

this is a good website with care on some of the more popular corals

I have just make over my tank to this show tank after a sad disaster last 10 days ago. I used to have many tanks fish in

this tank and have been with me for over 2 years. What happen is all my fishes dead due to power cut off overnight.

To all the experise here, kindly advise me what fishes I can add on to my tank, I will want to have a change this time, I

would like to keep small and hardly fish. My NO3 is still at the peak despite I have change my tank water for 4 times since

the past 10 days, I have start to dose AZ-NO3 since 3 days back and change the filter media in my canister last night.

Water temp 26.5 to 28 deg max. Amonia=0, NO2=0, Salt=1.020, pH=8.2

Since leathers are tonix, so I must take away the leather and the one behind it is it???

[markietan]

nice tank and very nice zoo... i just leave my leather alone at a corner in my nano... not running carbon and no problem so far. i do frequent water changes though... since its a small 2ft tank, not a big effort to water change

i see u are using 4 tubes of t5, u might want to consider bringing the crocea further up.. they are pretty light demanding if you want their nice coloration to stay. and try and take out the green tube and hydrometer. quite distracting for such a nice tank. my 2 cents =)

[yikai]

u can just run carbon and polyfilters to remove the chemical warfare. anway, only some leathers are toxic. i dunno which ones...

[TayHongSiang]

Hmm...you bought that brain that i wanted...good choice...but you need to feed it, coz kinda "skinny" when i saw it.

[successnowhere]

Tks for all the comments. Can someone pls highlight me what corals need special feeding and what to feed.

I don't know the name of those corals.

Btw, what fishes can I added in to my tank, I want those small and cute and reef safe type.

[successnowhere]

Taken out the leather corals as some bros here say leather corals will be toxic,

added in 2 zoa from AhBeng today, do some rescapeing, sorry me not expert lah...

Looking at your tank, it looks like you are overstocking it. I do not recommend buying bangaii cardinals from LFS because they are now endangered according to the IUCN 2008 red list and only reefers with the intention of breeding them should do any purchase at all. You also have a couple of spotted cardinals in there. I don't think the cardinals are going to live peacefully together.

From my experience with chromis, they do not surive in shoals well in a smaller tank. They usually end up with the strongest one within a matter of days to weeks.

most banggai cardinals are captively bred now. not all are taken from the wild. perhaps should ask the LFS before buying...i have 3 different kinds of cardinals in my 3ft tank all living peacefully. so far no problems.

[ambystoma82]

be very very careful if u intend to buy gobies since u having sandbed..

It is true that not all are taken from the wild but certainly not that most banggai in LFS for sale are captive bred.

Agression inbetween species are more likely especially for his 3 bangaii depending on the gender of the fish.
