Hi Guys,

My current 4' tank being running for 21 days with temp set at 27 deg.C and have flower pot, hammer, star polypi and blue sea fan without any fish, PH constant at 8.5ppm. Was thinking of throwing in banner fish, further to my reseacrh, banner fish do nip on certain coral, do you think is safe to throw them in?

:thanks::thanks:

Bro... you mentioned your tank have been running for 21 days.. did you cycle your tank? Whats ur parameters like?

If you did not cycle your tank, you should not add any fish yet until the cycle is complete.

Bannerfish are not know to be reef safe but looking at your corals selection should be ok...

Hi, pls find below 2 type of bannerfish below :

Heniochus diphreutes (Reef safe)

Heniochus acuminatus (None Reef safe) has longer longer fin

probably let your tank cycle completed b4 adding them... although they r easy but I feel not suitable for new tank...

Cheers..

Hi brother,

Being circulating since LR are added for 21 days, didn't check NO2/No3 level, star polypi, hammer, sea fan and flower pot doing ok, H&S skimmer on for 24/7. BTW, what to feed the corals?

do check on your NO2 and NO3 levels before adding fishes yeah?

Many coral food are available in the market... Marine Snow, Phytoplankton, etc etc.. some corals will take in meaty food like market prawn too..

check out our sponsers link to see the range of food available..

don't ID them by the fin. someimes fin break all that.

the only way to ID them is by the ana-l fins and the mouth.
