SRC Member MOssrope Posted April 17, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted April 17, 2010 poor sailfin..... so confined. let it go lah bro..... the president speaks the truth. on top of that you do not need a sump to have a skimmer.. there are many good hang on skimmers. attempt sps if you have enough experience and attempt sps without a skimmer only if you know very well what you are doing and the full knowledge of your tank needs. looking at the sailfin in the tank i would suggest you put sps on hold 1st, at least till you have a skimmer. not being mean but its really a good outcome for the livestocks and yourself. and healthy sun corals are a pretty high form of bioload in my context. and the picture you used was backdated compared to your updated livestock list i supposed, and i do not see a wavemaker (><)" Quote Brown SPS > Kinder Surprise White SPS = Kinder Surprise after expiry date Assumption killed the dinosaurs, they didnt have test kits.

I guess.. ) As for skimmer, I just bought a reef octopus hang-on skimmer today from Irwana. As least I have got the essentials for a marine aquarium. I will slowly upgrade my tank to a 3ft once I get the hang of it. But its going to be a heavy investment. I think 3ft is the biggest that I will go cos I would like to reuse my equipments (chiller, skimmer, etc), which their max load is at 3ft. I know my tank is really too tiny for all residents already. Sigh... But all are too nice to give away thou..

Maybe I would have seen you too. Peacemaker - so far the skimmer is good. Will give elaborate details on the skimmer (Brand: Reef Octopus).

jackywongto Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi clam, did not want to dilute your sale thread so moving it here: But is it ok to "downgrade" a Sailfin Tang to a tomato clown? Cos I thought my bioload very high liao. Yah you have quite a no of fishes in your tank liao. Having one more is really no good. Maybe just sell it cheap away. Try to keep these fishes you have alive for 3 - 6 months as a start.

I did not realise the importance of swimming space for these fishes. I will do my best to keep these fishes alive in my care. I intend to start the 4ft after 6 months to 1 year after this tank.
