Congrats on your new light! The fan turns on and off automatically. i run both of mine at around 60% and the fans don't really run at all.

Another thing to take note, having a rimless tank so near electrical appliance is not ideal.. There's alot more salt spray than you might expect.

That chalice omg!

Otherwise u can look up BRS on youtube, they did a in-depth review of the orphek recently and that should give you a rough idea on mounting height and PAR levels.

Any idea on pricing?

It really depends, some think of it as snake oil while some swears by it. I personally hook up Microbelift special blend to my dosing pump and dose 5ml into my 170L tank everyday. It has helped me fight of dino/cyano without me doing anything else.

give it a bath in vinegar, the oil present in the brand new skimmer is probably what is causing that.

i think i'll leave it running until my tank is fully stock and i don't expect to add anymore fishes. I will then dry out all equipments/media used and will not used them in my display tank. just keep it incase you need to restart your QT again.

Potassium nitrate are increasingly hard to find because the powder/high concentration form is banned in Singapore, i believe you can dose Calcium Nitrate instead and fertilizer grade can be found in nursery shops like LushGro. Not sure if these are good enough grade to be dose in the reef tank though.

Oh that was because that qt is in my room, with ac at night water will drop to 25c and back up to 30c in the day time. Which is why I had a heater inside. Had since remove it after realising that the cover that came with the tank actually kept the tank very constant at 27-28c throughout the day.

According to seachem, the prime/safe stays active for only 48 hours max, so the water is safe to mix with copper after that. But i personally will not use it, who knows one day you might forget how long you have 'aged' the water and used it while the prime/safe is still active..

i run a dolphin Hang on back filter with some Sera Siphorax. Nitrate is there simply because the bacteria in the media is doing its work to convert ammonia to nitrates, at the bare minimum, you should have sponge filters. I had a YT and a pair of clowns in that small QT which means its bioload is very high, coupled with nutritional feeding, its normal for nitrates to sky rocket. But like i mentioned, high nitrates do not generally bother fishes until it exceeds extremely high level ( i would assume above 100ppm).

i do 20% twice a week on that small QT. Nitrates were pretty high at about 40ppm but it dosn't really bother the fish. I make new saltwater when doing water change to ensure there is no cross contamination. But i don't see a reason why you cannot use water from your tank IF you are certain that tank is 100% parasite free. I just use new saltwater as a precaution and for such small water volume it dosn't cost much anyway. Also, do use RODI/DI water for the QT as anti-chlorines like seachem prime/safe will reduce copper to a very toxic level.

I have a 40x25x28cm tank as a QT and have a small YT inside for 3 weeks with no issue, of course it will get stressed out initially but shouldn't have much of an issue since its just for QT

Day 88. Bought a set of filter lenses for my Galaxy S10+ and the yellow filter corrects the white balance very accurately to capture the true color of the tank! Here's some pictures i took, no editing at all! Just the yellow filter with the Pro mode on my S10+ Zoas garden Some newly aquired acans Red stag, previously snipped the top of both sticks hoping to encourage vertical growth instead of encrusting. Looks like that didn't work out. Got it from a friend who bought this was walt disney, let's see how this turns out. Red planet millipora Bonsai Pink milliepora SSC Miyagi Tort Thanks for viewing!

If you're worried, cut out a small square piece of egg crates and rest the pointy part of your rocks on it. Small piece of egg crates won't cause much issue.
