  1. it will very much depend on your luck also if your flame angel will nip on your corals.. some does and some do not..
  2. Damsel fish is overall the hardest fish around.. i got a friend which did not change his tank water for the last 2 year, and yet his damsel fish is still happy swimming around..
  3. beckett skimmer is overall a more powerfull skimmer for larger tank, but a H&S skimmer work just fine for a smaller tank
  4. i think there is many LFD around that can make very good custom make tank too..
  5. is that a doctor fish ? Not many reefer manage to keep it for more than one month in their tank..
  6. wow.. it is amazing that you are able to put so much inside the nano tank..
  7. Wow..nice and neat setup for a nano tank..
  8. This is awaresome.. how many bros here try this out with success ?? but seem like alot of work to me.. hee
  9. Wow..this is a very rare specis indeed...where did you buy this ?
  10. you need some time before the Denitrator come to work.. i have only see my sulphur denitrator working after 3rd day i test..
  11. MH bulb light intensity tends to drop pretty fast... better look for a good brand or look for other lighting alternative..
  12. And not forgetting the running cost in the long run.. esp when the electricity bill going north nowsaday..
  13. a small crab that die shouldnt cause a diatom on your system.. unless it is a gaint die-off..
  14. wow..very small and nice nano tank setup.. but you have to finf ways to tackle the problem of the Amoinia, nitrate build up.. but being small enable you to change the water easily comparing to larger tank..
  15. the basic maintain you can do is to use a vacumm cleaner to suck allt he dust on the cooling coil... other than that, you should engage professional to do a maintance it for you.. which should be every six month i think.. another way to check is also to see if the chiller take much longer time to kick in or not ? hope it helps..
  16. i feel the best value skimmer should also be the one which is runing on the least power consumption..
  17. No all LEDs light will work on plant culturing . Some leds may seem to be very bright in the ###### eyes but it lack the wave length needed for plant photosynisis.. this is a extract from one of the website Source: Photo Morphogenesis in Plant by R.E. Kendrick and G.H.M. Kronenberg (Published in 1986, Martinus ; Relation between WAVELENGTHS and PLANT CULTIVATION 1) Plant photosynthesis occurs at a wavelength of 400 nm to 700 nm 2) Certain wavelengths have greater influence on photosynthesis, 400 to 525 nm (blue color) and 610 to 720 nm (red color) are the biggest contributors to photosynthesis 3) Wavelength between 520 to 610 nm (green color) has the lowest ratio in plant pigment absorption In regards to the principles stated above, organic lighting that is sold in the market usually refers to two specific wavelengths, the red and blue wavelength. From a distance, the color of the light that exposed by the organic lighting is pink in color. While in existing white light LED, most utilize a blue color chip set with a coating of yellow phosphor and with this combination, white light is the end result. Therefore, the energy distribution of the white light has two distinct peaks at 445 nm (blue color) and 550 nm (yellowish-green color) but organic life also needs wavelengths at 610 to 720 nm (red color) and white light lacks this wavelength. This is the reason why white light LED is not advantageous for organic life cultivation.
  18. IMO , black is the best for marine fishes, whereas blue is good for those keeping arowana..
  19. I used this before as well for my very fist tank.. maybe you an play around with the positiion of the skimmer on top of the water ... But in the long run, it is adviceable to get the hang on primzer skimmer instead..
  20. Since Aquarium lighting make up of about 50% of the total energy usage of your tank.. getting a good sets of enery saving lighting thus is very important in the long run...
  21. But C328 they dont keep much stocks for ROWA, since it is often sell out whenever they bring in the stocks..
  22. C328 will be a good choice for all your aquairum need at good price..
