HEllo there, i am semi new to marine hobby.
Last 2 yrs ago.
Very much one of those people whom does not believe in a chiller ,measure PH, Mag, cal level etc
understand alittle about marine.
Kept 70% of fishes and LPS corals alive after 1 year.
but gave it all to my friend.
But now i am back again i am very keen to learn from the experts in this forum cos i have been reading it for the pass 1 week.
KUDOS to this wedsite.....
My set up is very very simple a 2x1.5x 1.5ft. .
A simple 2 in 1External Fliter ###### Skimmer which seems to be working good thus far.(small size run by pump not air ones).
2 x 24watts T5 Ocean Pro 2x 24 Watts Blue Pro lighting. No sum tank.
I bought 5 cluters of HALF DEAD Blastos (cheap)and decided to try it out to see if i can make the REVIVE THEM.
I promise to take some photos by tonight.
My Plan:I dont mind target feeding 2 days once( is that too much if so how many times a week) ?
i am feed with JBL KORELLFLIUD ( any other recommendations )? :idea:
I am currently using IWARNA TOP UP (ONCE A WEEK WITH DISTILL WATER)
Currently all Blastos are on the sand bed.
Questions: :bow
1: What r the test kits i need to buy? or can i do without?
2:Wat are the perimeters i need to look out for ?PH, Mag, cal etc?whats the level to falling between for LPS ONlY or all the same?
3:IS a chiller really require to keep LPS?
4: Are target feeding the blastos a good solution?
5:Any good brand model extenal skimmer >$200 or mine skimmer is sufficent for a 120 liters tank? Anyway to calculate skimmer to tank size?
6:The lighting okay?
Thk you Sir and mdm.
