Helllo again, can anyone show me how does your sump setup look like?

cause i think i miss a step or two during the cycling part so now not very confident with me sump setup, would like something i can refer to.

i fill tank up with salt, sand and added LR. Then i waited for 3weeks after that i added two clown fish. but after going thru a few threads i see alot of ppl throwing in dead prawn when cycling and they mostly use DSB or MM?

Currently my sump has only one over size skimmer, filter and quite a bit of biohomme which i feel like its not enough.

HELP~~

Thanks,

jizz

yr sump has limited space for DSB. If you want, apart from using algae scrubber, you can add biohome or similar bacteria house in yr sump.

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
