  1. Hi bro, the separate system is like a quarantine tank, a fully functioning system. It is also like a backup system in case your main system fails. For your main system, you dose to keep water parameters correct? However, when you do water change, don't throw away the water. This water is mature and have almost the same water parameters, so use it to change water for the back up system. This way, you can maintain 2 systems and save on new saltwater. Everytime you water change it's like version 1.1, you keep the version 1.0, it's like saving files on computer. Also, because the back up system has very similar water parameters, you can easily move livestock over without any acclimation, especially during emergency. Very easy to maintain because you are basically saving the water during water change. I use this for quarantine purposes. Hope it helps.

  4. In between these gadget updates, here’s a picture of one of my latest livestock additions. He’s been with me since 4 Aug 18 and is feeding well and healthy since day two! [emoji38] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

  7. I have a separate system with similar water parameters, used for quarantine, but also for emergency cases. To rescue sensitive intervebrates/fish/corals. If it is ammonia spike it's quite easily solved, but for other cases like water contamination, a separate system will save you because you won't have time to prepare new saltwater. I had an accidental contamination once that wiped my tank because vapor from a disinfecting air freshener got in.

  8. According to Seachem FAQ, "Prime will bind ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate for 24-48 hours. At which point, if they are still present, will be released." This gives one sufficient time to take action like water change or to remove the livestock.

  9. I think another good to have during emergency is a good water conditioner ( for example seachem prime ) that is able to detoxify ammonia in such event. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
