peacemaker's Office Nano 3

[peacemaker]

I have not set it up yet... a little worried about my corals acclimatizing to the light change... still trying to figure out how to do this properly.

[jackywongto]

Ya lah... have you to blame for making me spend so much money! Give such good review... hard to resist.

Wah my review very neutral hor.

How's the fan? Loud in your office?

Handle with care hor. this part is tricky.

I think you'd be the best person to tell the difference as you have experience with both fans. To me, the fans are hardly audible in my office environment, which is a major plus. My skimmer and return pumps are actually much louder...

I have not got my new fans yet

[peacemaker]

I have not got my new fans yet

What are you waiting for? I'm sure you'll like it.

Sigh... still haven't thought of a good way to acclimatize my corals to the new lights. Any suggestions? Also, I am a bit concerned about splash and salt creep. My water surface is constantly agitated. Was thinking of an acrylic sheet as a splash guard.

[peacemaker]

Btw, I find that the hole in the Sea Squirt is a little too small for mysis shrimp. Felt like enlarging it a little, but reluctant to damage the thing...

it already has a acrylic cover.

maybe just change it when it gets real bad?

yah, on my 2nd feeding session, it did get stucked a little.

I just invert it and pump a little to loosen it up.

then resume.

It will be very near to the water surface, so I was thinking of an extra protection. The Hydor Flo and K1 in my tank really agitates the water surface, so I'm a bit concerned.

Hmmm... that's not what I want. I'll prolly try widening the hole a little.

hmmm will it affect the operation in future? As in: will it cost the mysis to be leaked out?

[peacemaker]

I don't think so, and certainly hope not! I'll keep you posted. I don't think I'll be target feeding anything smaller than mysis, so it only makes sense if the Sea Squirt works for it.

Peace,

Maybe you wanna try soaking the shrimp a little longer before using the squirt?

It did not jam up the 1st time I used it.

in any case, keep me posted please.

thanks.

Oh... I usually drain off the "sauce" before feeding... will let you know.

Arh.... I rinse them 1 or 2 times using tank water then time suck it up the squirt with fresh tank water.

And I thought I was careful not to release extra source of nitrates... your method is even better!

[jackywongto]

hmmm, i really dunno how you manage to suck up the drained mysis.

Kudos to you !!!

[teebs]

Actually what I do is to defrost two cubes of mysis in a bowl of tank water. Once fully defrosted after ard 20 mins, I will then suck everything up into my 50ml syringe and blast it near my corals. For me, as long as my corals are booming, I'm pretty happy. I just try to keep the nitrates below 25 where possible. Once it goes above 25, i will do a large water change and that is why i keep 300-400L of NSW at my home...and this is also one reason why I won't try SPS as they require low nitrates...

I didn't! That's why I thought of making the hole bigger!

Its tougher for us keeping nano tanks, so every little effort to reduce excess waste helps!

I love these guys! They are getting bolder and swimming more actively in the front. I'm pleased that they have chose the front rock as their hiding place. Easy for me to enjoy viewing them.
