Hi bro!

sorry a little out of topic..

just want to enquire on the flow rate of the tank?(just starting out the marine hobby)

im setting up a tank (2x2 feet with 2feet sump)

sorrie to hijack..

the main tank capacity shld b replace at least 5 times / hour...

so take ur main tank water X 5, normally pple use 2000l/h+ then do splits

some scare pump spoil then no circulation thus 1800l/h pump + tunze/vortech/rio/sunsun...whatever wavemakers they can find... but then u nid to find xtra electrical plug space..

eh bro actualli u consitently up ur KH n CA the coraline algae will grow like mad..

look at those sps keeper tanks...

there is some articles on coraline grow better in blue light...but normally pple buy white with blue together.. so cant realli tell e difference on e growth rate..

coraline can b found on e rocks,unless ur rocks r very very bare.. then no seed to grow frm loh..

u can save on e aquapharm products.. i find aquapharm products r rather mild on e concentration if u compare to other brands..

Yes, bad weather, might need to consider chiller as I don't to kill any more LS...

Sorry bro, that verse is quited from the Holy Bible, which means all creatures are precious in God's eyes, so, our responsibility as a reefer is to give them a good home that they deserved. In other words, "the compassion of the sinful man is cruel" cos when they see the beautiful creature, they start liking them, then they rich enough to buy them over, but unfortunately they indirectly kill them cos of the water is hot, water dirty, no proper food given, fishes too many tank too small, etc... Well, I did those b4 and I sincerely confess to my mistakes.

but on long term basis..

e creatures r getting lesser in the sea but breeding more in captivity...

creatures hv adapt to tank condition thus wun survive in e wild...

so its rather contridicting y pple go diving still...mayb go c those tht cant b kept in fishtank lolx..
