Saw his tank in person....very poisonous to the mind and soul visit at own risk..... too many gems to look at.

Not test but concern....but anyways to each his own tank i guess.

U may filter out chemicals and particles out of the nsw in sg waters but wat abt bacteria?? Eg. Ich. Bro xiggie care to share how is ur filteration done? Quite interested to know. Im not siding anyone here. Im just curious to know thats all... Hope im not stepping on anyones toes.

Hi.....in my honest opinion try to get the best equipment that u can afford because it will last u a long long way. My advice for chillers....better to get a proper one and do not diy unless u know wat u are doing. Temperature fluctuations can cause severe irreversible effects to ur livestock which may lead to fatalities. If i were u i would save up as much as i can and while saving up at the same time do some research on marine chemistry, marine biology and marine aquarium equipment....trust me all the readings will do u gd in future. If u really need help u can pm me i dun mind sharing my knowledge.

No idea nvr used that b4

Then again if tts the only skimmer u hv then by all means use....any skimmer is better than none.

My tank is a 3footer wif nett vol of est 460L im using 24 " beckett skimmer...planning to change to a bm curve 9 soon....in my opinion ur skimmer is a lil bit too small. Try to get a skimmer rated for 100 gal since ur tank is 55 gal

Good that u know alot abt cuttlefish....since u self proclaim an expert in cuttlefish maybe u shud share more of ur expertise so that ppl can learn from u....as for wat type of skimmer ive already mentioned a few brands and models based on my experience which is not much as i am still a noob in marine. Still learning from many reefers alike...jus to mention a few ppl like bro fuel, coolguy, youdontknowme, yellow tang and many more. Like i said skimmers there are many such as air driven, needle/pinwheel driven, beckett, venturi. I personally like the needle or pinwheel type as it creates micro bubbles which make up alot more surface area than normal bubbles.

My tank is a 3 footer

Well its highly dependent on the species i guess....depends on wat u want to keep. U can check out tonmo for a very detailed article on keeping cuttlefish. As for a common sump, if u meant by running a mixed tank and a species tank on one same sump....then yah it is possible provided u do not dose any copper treatment as it will kill cuttlefish.

I used to buy feeder shrimps crabs but its just not practical enough.....so i went to fish for crabs...armed wif a cast net to the beach i went. If u really wanna buy then like i said iys going to really expensive and labour intensive to keep amd maintain your feeder crabs/shrimps.....u can feed fish but ideally cuttlefishes need crabs n shrimps for nourishment. You can get feeder shrimps from most lfs...its hard to get feeder crabs or live mysis in sg.

U shud go for wat is comfortable for u and ur livestock....read the parameters provided listed on the label....it all depends on wat u wanna keep.

Mixed tank with corals provided none that stings yes possible...mixed tank with crustaceans n fishes big no no ....the cuttlefish will eat them. Brst is to keep them in a species tank

Maybe u can help us to help u by sharing your tank plans, stocking plans, budget, etc. Cos there are many brands and models. Overall if u keeping cuttles ur skimmer must be rated for more than ur tank size to accomodate the high bioload as well as the occasional ink squirting. I've personally used wei pro, bm 3.5, beckett. Of the three i highly recommend bm as it is compact, light, needle wheel, decent skimmate produced and above all it is affordable. There are of course other brands which are better..im just citing a few...hope this helps. Hope u r already cycling ur tank if not better to start soon....the more matured ur tank is the better. If u already hv cycled maybe u could share a pic of ur setup display and sump.

Ive tried keeping cuttlefish for awhile...my experience is that its hard to feed them. U need a variety of live food for them to hunt and feed as the would in the wild. They feed alot too...so getting live foods is very costly. If ure tank is not mature or its lightly stocked then the chances of u seeing ure cuttles are minimal cos they will feel naked without cover hence the hiding.

Bro u keeping ur cuttles in a nano???

Its probably sugar water

Better to separate cos the palys will shadow the smallee zoas
