Kikobananas Marine Tank

[jackywongto]

How many more pieces of rocks are u going to get? If only a few pcs, shld be alright. Try getting cured ones from reefers near u or lfs nearby. Dose bacteria lor. I think shld be fine but yeah if want to be 100%, then cycle them separately.

roger that!

finally understood what you guys are saying about the die off part..

so dosing bacteria will be a way to counter the ammonia spike hopefully??

i'll be testing for ammonia and nitrate daily with testkits...

thanks for the info on ammonia alert, took down the expiry date, expires next year june

[ReDDeviLs]

your are welcome bro, hope u like them.

yea deadrocks means total white nothing to die off liao! LOL!

best is either u cure them in a seperate tank then take out and place them in ur tank immediately. your tank may not be able to take the die offs. esp with livestocks now.

rem do not over dose bac or it will crash ur tank.

ammonia and nitrite are the killers.

nitrate is not so lethal.

[pokmingsheng]

can i say that after one month since the addition of my LR,

if ammonia and nitrite readings remain 0,

it'll be safe to add LS into the tank?

[ReDDeviLs]

it maybe safe. but do it slowly.

[bugattilambo]

it maybe safe. but do it slowly.

yep I agree now it maybe safe but better be safe than sorry

haha

[pokmingsheng]

hey guys..

should i be getting Coralife Turbo Twist 3X or 6X??

is 3X sufficient for a 2ft cube?

[pokmingsheng]

YAY kiko!

no die offs means you already have some LS in your tank?

what are they? Be a bit more discipline with WC in the beginning few months.

cheers!

HELP

just yesterday i got 1 YT and 1 FA from iwarna's latest shipment...

went home, acclamatise it, and house them in this quarantine tank..

wanna make sure they are feeding before i release them..

last night, tried feeding them NLS pellets, didnt eat..

threw in abit of henry's food... both didnt eat..

could be the fact that they are stressed...

just an hour ago...

threw in NLS pellets...

FA didnt eat.. YT pecked at a few! yay!

but didnt eat though...

in fact he got one into his mouth, and spit out many tiny pieces...

is it trying to get use to pellets?

FA still not feeding...

** am i being too impatient? haha... i should wait a few more days right?

** should i seperate them? one remain in this quarantine container, the other go into the sump so i can train them "individually".

kindly advice

attached is the 2 new members of my tank

using lousy camera hp to take the pic, so bear with the poor quality.. haha..

[ReDDeviLs]

dont panic bro,

give them time.

put a piece of nori inside.

if they still dont eat, starve them for 1 day. and try again.

[pokmingsheng]

YT is pecking on the pellet,

but he cant seem to take the whole piece...

wonder why...

[ReDDeviLs]

waht size is ur NLS pellet?

try to grind it abit to make it slightly smaller. see it will eat it anot.

no idea...

i thought there's only one size?

i use the one thats for marine fish....

anyway, YT is finally feeding!

let it into my main tank....

now its left with my flame angel...

hope it feeds on pellet soon...

tested using henry's food...

its feeding on that...

but i would like to train it to eat pellets before i release it into my main tank...

thanks for the advice bro...

[ReDDeviLs]

NLS got afew range for pellets,some for picky fishes some for parasite and so on.

they also have diff pellet size.

Bro nice collection of fishes you have there. Any plans on upgrading soon? your 2ft tank looks like getting abit overcrowded with 2 Tangs. How's the bioload coming along?

[jackywongto]

He has most of the fishes that I want minus the tangs.
