tench1 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Nice tank bro... Do let me know if u can substain the cauliflower as I'm also thinking of keeping one 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackywongto Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 maybe add a bicolour blasto, a cocoworm, a supersun, a red gonio, small flavia These will "colour" up your tank a bit more.

tench1 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 To reduce the nitrate level, just got myself a tunze nano skimmer! Lets see how it goes... Will update again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tench1 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 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? Ten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member raydiative Posted April 19, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted April 19, 2010 thats quite common... my tunze also gives me green skimmate.. Quote A man with a reef tank is a man with an empty wallet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tench1 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Really? My experience with other skimmers of other brands, produce only orange/brown based liquid. If its normal, i m happy! Thanks Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member raydiative Posted April 19, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted April 19, 2010 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.. =] Quote A man with a reef tank is a man with an empty wallet...

If its normal, i m happy! 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 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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

tench1 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
