Thanks for your compliment, its still quite far from my desired scaping . . . Long long way to go...

Its behaviour is kinda werid to understand as well.

Its polyps would stay open for about 4 hours, and after lunch, it will close as though its hibernating . . . till late in the evening, fully open again.

Lighting definitely arent important at all, very true from the readings found in the net.

Finally, i found the Anemone after 2 weeks!!

Rose Anemone!!

Beautiful bubbles with Deep pink red to faint pinkish white!

Waiting for my pairs of True Perc to host on it!

hehehe

Keeping my fingers Xxxx!

CA/MG seems to be low, ever since the 1st day of cycling...Had been dosing red-sea Parts, but doesnt seems to work at all...

But good news are that levels of PO4 and KH had dropped to the normal level!!

black spot? that means they are growing up and change into black, white and orangy colours that's what happen to my true perc.

Its a blue spotted mushroom

[tench1]

hw? Any1 gt advise, hw to improve?

[jackywongto]

maybe add a bicolour blasto, a cocoworm, a supersun, a red gonio, small flavia

These will "colour" up your tank a bit more.

[tench1]

To reduce the nitrate level, just got myself a tunze nano skimmer!

Lets see how it goes... Will update again.

[tench1]

Guys,

Any of you have green skimmed liquid output from your skimmer before?

This is the 1st time i experience this. Can anyone sure your thoughts?

thats quite common... my tunze also gives me green skimmate..

[tench1]

Really? My experience with other skimmers of other brands, produce only orange/brown based liquid.

If its normal, i m happy!

Thanks Ray.

[raydiative]

No worries.. your skimmate should be very wet as well rite? if you tune it to dry skim you should get a slightly more brownish skimmate.. =]

Thanks Ray.

using the same skimmer. for wet skimming, yeah slightly greenish. as ray said, tune to dry skimming, and you'd see them become brownish. just make sure you clean often as dry skimming can really make the cup dirty ...

[tench1]

Woot! Ray, you must be a fellow tunze skimmer user?

Im still tunning the level hoping to obtain a slightly drier skimmate.

However, its still very 'wet' and greenish at the moment.

The smell can be quite disgusting...

Colour of the skimmate depends on the food you feed and the additives you dose in your tank.

hehe don't smell. check your water level as well. as i understand if your level is above the mark line on the skimmer, then you would be getting more wet skimmate. just at the line or a little lower, more dry. of course plus the tuning

wet skimming is actually good as it is suppose to be able to skim out more stuff...however i'm lazy to clear the collection cup so i tune it to a dryer skim..

yup.. totally miss out this point.. very important to keep the water level consistent.. thats the pain of tunze...

otherwise i'm quite happy with this skimmer.. =]

[jackywongto]

But with dry skimming, you will need to "scrub" the collection cup neck onces the darkish brown skimmate covers it up.

hehe, hey bro, with dry skimming it makes the up-shaft of the cup really very dirty right, and i thought if you don't clean that it will affect the efficiency of the skimming. so wouldn't that make you clean even more often than wet ? hehe

[tench1]

The water level is the part that i cannot control. . . unless with auto - topup.

I am running constantly with a 12VDC Coolermaster blue led fan

i need to top up the evaporated water everyday.

Lucky for me, the skimmer is able to fit very nicely in the return pump compartment, without eating into the display tank area

yup... but at least i dun need to worry about the skimmer overflowing every 3-4 days.. hahaha...

my collection cup is the stevie collection cup with is smaller then the stock one.. =]
