  1. Some time in life we need to sacrifice..Soo i am sacrificising my 3years+ of passion.So here we go..Most fishes have been with my for atleast 2 1/2 yrs xcept for my tomato clown still 6 mths ol... i am selling my live rock which cost a big hole in my ppocket..Cos i have a 180 gal tank..But selling em all at $250(neg) My tomato and african clown at $7 each or $10 for both..Green Bird wrasse at $12, Regal Tang (a Fighter almost lost her life) $10, coral beauty $20 And koran Angel $30. The cabinet of the tank very bad condition soo i tink not to sell..and if you want the tank can sell at$250(Losing alot of $$$$) But i have to sell it off...I dun have a pics. u may come n see..Dun have to buy if u dun like it.. All i can say is this..All my fishes eat anything you dump inside...N i have been dosing tropical science brand every week for their health..Soo dats abt it i guess.. :cry2:

  2. 1st of all water cycle shud atleast be 2 mths..after dat u need to check da water eg:amonia etc2.. and before adding yur livestock you need 2 keep a wish list..and study yur lifestock and their needs..1st of all angel fishs need more than 60gal of water and atleast 6mths cycling periods same goes to tangs and all the big fish.. Dun over stock them..2nd they need some cave so as to hide themselve wen stress out.. 3rd wen introduced them keep it per family..eg:1st jan 09 (Angels) 1st feb (Tangs) etc2.. Give yur tank 1 mth period soo as not to overload..But the best advice is to buy books or CD on marine aquarium.. i wud recommend Paul go to his website http://www.exclusivefishfilms.com/ AND BUY the cd..And pls before you try to add another life in yur tank study about them 1st.. And good luck..Hope you'll be a successful marine fish keeper.. CHEERS! :angel:

  3. Haiz. previously decided to setup a 100-120gallon reef tank. BUT after much research(im a noob) decided that it would be impossible to maintain with my current savings account... protein skimmers, lightings, wavemakers, pumps all these equipments need alot of money. i mean i rather get the good stuffs than get the budget stuffs and risk my LS dieing..

    This hobby is really not for the faint hearted and the equipment prices scales alot with the tank size and after much considerations decided to downgrade my ambitions and start with a 50 gallon tank first. hope i can make it work in the end. been crazy over reefs after visiting some of my friends' and LFS tanks..

    How much is your budget?

  4. hey bro I did the first step by first preparing the salt water then pouring it in

    yep then I add bacteria

    hehe why haha like to know whats the difference

    thanks

    Banner fish needs more than a 1 feet tank 1st of all...Min of 80 gal is advisable.. Wat u shud do is to let da water mature 1st..There dis sayin" Look after yur water and yur water will look after yur fishes".. The best is to cycle yur tank for atleast 2 mths the best is 6 mths..Then check with the test kit..If yur water is stable..only den buy yur fishes..Dun buy to much.. For small fishes you cud buy max 5 fishes for large fishes max 2... Den givve a 1 mth duration for buying another fishes.. Dun overstock..Dis wud improve yur water quality..

  5. And i forget dun do a freshwater dip..some may say its the best way...But you end up choking yur fish..its like u goin to mount everest very hard to breath (example only)..and yur bact on yur fish wun dies off completely..Bact are strong and very durable..They wud dies off only in xtreme heat..except for bact in pig which need blow torch to dies off..hahaha :P ..

  6. Dun panic i ever been thru dis once b4 long time ago..take out all yur fish and put it in quaratine tank..inside yur quarantine tank put in uv steriliser...and on yur main tank run it with ozonizer for 8 hours every nite..do it every nite for 1mth ..dose in copper or tropic science marine max in the morning but you have to turn off yur protein skimmer and take out yur carbon filter for 1 mth and 20% water change once every week...After da 1mth period do a 50% water change..And pray all turns well.. I know it seems like a hard work..Well it is...But boh pien lor....wat to do..

    PS: This is only my 2cent..My hubby oversea frens taught him..And it works for us....

  7. Du be dishearthen.. try and keep tryin..dis hobi is expensive..soo the more we shud appreciate and learn..i learn the hard way too..Luckily my hubby support me all way thru..we even purchase books and cd online...But no matter how pro or beginner u are..wen we deals with this beautiful but fragile life..we must provide them with every needs they needed lke as thu they are our kids....

  8. agreed with brother Rockyboy.

    Currently, for last 2 weeks, all my tangs get it and as long as they are eating when feeded, leave it alone. Once all fishes are friendly/getting use to each others, stress reduce, everything would back to normal.

    Cheers

    Yup food is 1 thing but supplement is anotha..Even human need supplement apart from living a healthy life...as all of us know fishes get stress out not only bcos of aggresive tank mate or overstocking..but also the quality of the water..esp those with less than 50gal tank..the sudden spike in everything cud lead to diseases and death..Over feeding cud spike nitrate/nitrite..Less feeding cud mean the fishes starve and causes them to be aggresive and the weaker one dead..Jus my 1cent..

  9. hi bro, where do you get you marine max? thanks
