  1. 1) Do not underestimate the strength(par) of your led light set, do not place led light set too low as it can burn your corals. Place high for spread and always go slow with the percentage.
    2) do not add too many livestock at one go. Most of the time we human like to " play with fire" i add 2 fish today no problem, tomorrow add another 2 and so on for a week or 2. when the problem comes they all go at one go.
    3) impatient in cycling process and introduce livestock too early in the process when water parameter is still unstable
    4)In Balance In Parameters Is A Big No No..Flux In Kh,SG Will cause harm to SPS And Lps so keep these two stable and the others too :thumbsup:
    5) adding new fish and corals without doing research of it's behaviour and requirements.
    6) cooking live rocks by putting them in the sun. This not only add extra nutrient to the rocks due to die offs inside the rock and also result in longer start up period. "Cooking" is not kill the rocks. Cooking is soaking rocks in hyper salinity or slightly higher than usual temperature to remove unwanted pests therefore keeping the entire integrity of the live rock intact
    7) Not using the correct TDS water and inappropriate salt mix for more sensitive livestocks
    8) Not inspecting / quarantining livestock before adding to main tank, pest introduction is a disaster that will take over the tank.
    9) Don't dose any chemical that you seldom or do not measure. A lesson I am currently combating now (high calcium & magesnium)

    10) Weekly water parameters check or monthly to ensure optimum water quality

  2. Be careful of snail , crabs, and fishes. They alway went in through clam bottom and slowly chew the muscle. Even fishes will nip at the exposed bottom if the clams overturn or fall on its side. Flat worm will attack the clams. The big one.

  3. It will release toxin when stress out or disturb. All the fish in the tank will die. It only eat live food. Closed system not recommended. Even semi open system when toxin is release all the fish will die of toxin. Total wipeout.
