Binosage's 24G nano tank

the hawk looks cooler than a flame hawk! haha! nice bubble btw

Yah hahaha, I actually like this one a lot. Wanted to get another falco's hawk, but my gf didn't like it, so bought the only other hawkfish at the farm. But I would give up this fish in a heartbeat for a flame hawk haha, I'm treading the limit on the number of fishes I can keep in such a small tank.

Your tank is amazingly clean... great job! What cleaning crew do you have?

Hahaha, ORD leh... obsessive reefing disorder. I have 3 pink turbo snails, 1 astrea snail, 3 bumble bee snails, 1 porcelain crab, 2 pom pom crabs, 2 cleaner shrimps and one marble star fish. Most of them contribute to the cleanliness in a way.

I switch off the pump when feeding, so that the food doesn't get trapped in the IOS, and stay suspended in the water - gives the slower feeders like seahorses a fairer shot at the food. It also helps that my mandarin fish scavenges for food at the bottom.

Not yet! Hahaha, doing an experiment now, see how much nitrate is produced in a 2 week period with heavy feeding and without water change. As of yesterday, it was 5ppm before water change. Since NO3 and PO4 is not a problem for me, I won't be running the skimmer for the time being, I think dissolved organic substances can be beneficial for the corals.

I m not surprised if dissolved organic nutrients may be beneficial to some corals....coz whenever i do frequent water change my mushies and acan lord dun like it.

But when my water is a bit "dirty", they seems to enjoy haha...

[albinosage]

Yah, I noticed that some of my zoas were not doing well too, starting to show signs of stress, maybe my 20-30% water change per week was stressing them, now I'm taking it easy on the water change since my nutrient level is manageable.

if i m not wrong i think synethic salt mix have undissolved particles and so when we do water change some of these gets into them and they dun appreciate it.

Yup, I used to use natural sea water, only switched back to salt mix last weekend. I think the constant water change could have disturbed the corals.

You talking about Ah Siang's acan right? I don't have. The LPS in the tank is a bubble coral

Wah, your orange crush acan is really nice!! Repost the pic from your thread, hope you don't mind:

I'm trying not to add anymore big items for the time being, my tank inhabitants seem to be happy with the way things are at the moment, everybody take one corner to relak haha. I'll wait a few more weeks before thinking of what to get next. Afraid that if I add or remove anything, they will get confused or fight over territory. I would have given away the bubble long ago, if not for the clown haha.

[TayHongSiang]

actually that pic i took from the net...haha...but its close to this colouration. (have took some pics but dun have time to post it right now)

Don't worry, it's probably going through it's teenage rebellion stage, neither here nor there, finding its identity hahaha. I really like the black spots though, good thing it will be this way for quite a while.
