SRC Member peacemaker Posted April 19, 2010 SRC Member 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 Since yours is an office tank, it is best that you get an ATO system. Especially during the weekends, evaporation will cause huge swings in your perimeters if not carefully monitored. Do consider some safety measures in case equipment fails (float switch not working, getting stuck, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if my colleague can take care for me... haiz..haha But with WTO, i will have a storage tank below my Desk! "o.O OMG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member albinosage Posted May 10, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2010 Bro those are nudibranches, most probably zoa eating ones. Better to remove all of them. Have you noticed zoa polyps dying for no reason? Quote My 1.5ft nano cube My 24G nano tank (Decommed) I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

tench1 Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 OMG! No wonder my zoas arent displaying their beauty! How do i get reach of them? Any predators that i can introduce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member albinosage Posted May 10, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2010 Some wrasses will actually feed on them, small yellow wrasse and 6 line are the more hardworking ones. Yellow wrasse is usually preferred cos it is the less aggressive of the two. In the meantime, read up on pests to zoas, you will probably need to manually remove any eggs you see. If the infestation is serious, use Coral RX, Flatworm exit or Lugols with fresh water to dip them then let the wrasse do the rest.

jackywongto Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi bro, I have seen those from my zoas, and other corals before too. I think it is either poo-ing or getting stressed. My take is that : leave it for a while and it clears up, then nothing much to be concerned about. cheers Jacky Quote Eqpt: Deltec MCE 600, Tunze 6055 with Tunze 7091 controller, Artica 1/15 HP chiller, AquaIllumination Sol Blue LED Light System 2011 resolution : Do it simpler, better and in an easier way!

tench1 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 kidding wor, dont take it to heart to reduce the use of wave maker, i use a higher flow of return plump. But problem is, there are areas in the nano that were covered by the return waves. hence, lotsa poos and debrises were lying around :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that you tank is underflow. is there an overflow into your mechanical filtration too? If debris are cycling within your tank beyond half a day, then maybe you can look into improving your mechnical filtration.
