Still looking...

Abang sharkie.... stop playing with the rocks and start plumbing!!

Well said bombom. Till date, I still haven't join the so called club. And no intention to.

TS, I am a newbie like you. I am hoping for the senior reefers here advise you the proper acclimatisation process so I can also learn the proper way so no need to join the ls-die-club. Many ways ah... One of the way:http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-magazines/aquarium-fish-international/july-2007/salt-qa.aspx Another way: http://www.saltwater-aquarium-online-guide.com/saltwater-fish-acclimation.html Google it and you will find various but similar ways.

Melvin, so sorry. Ignore us babbling about 100% NSW water change. I mean no harm but just to share. PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW.. as success story of fish and corals keeping only with saltmix... I did not mean to hijack your thread. Back to your question on acclimatisation of fish. Can share how you normally introduce your newly bought fish to your tank?

Anyway, all is well now after 100% (almost laaa....) NSW water change. Maybe will be doing it again, real time soon..... just a call away.

My tank was more than 1 yr old. Beats me. Have been doing 20% wc weekly until I lose hope. Even people have been saying, biosphere can drop nitrates from 50ppm to 0ppm in a day! Wow! My biosphere in my system for 2 months, nitrates drop from 30ppm to 20ppm... its working. But not as what i hoped.

Thank you Xiggie for your concern. 3 months had passed. Miraculously all survived! Except for 2 LPS. Maybe you're right. Infected with brown jelly disease or something like that. Acclimatising not done properly. Sigh.

Just to share... Had nitrate issue once. Done what many suggested, 10% daily water change or 20%-30% weekly water change, while reduced feeding at the same time. Although fed my fish only once a day so to reduce some more meaning once every 2 days? Also done that... [emoji15] still nitrates can never go lower that 20ppm. Chaeto running and growing and trimming and growing... biosphere added, biopellets running also, micro algae too... still not getting there. But no sudden death of fish or LPS. But still.. high nitrates!! What else?? 100% water change ah... but only recommended if tank crash or something more critical. So now what? Remembered this sentence somewhere I read.... "no tank is the same.." hmmm... well... time to follow my instinct. 100% wc ahh... (not 100% really.. left just enough water for the fish to breathe). Crossing my fingers.... praying... and more crossing and praying... thank God!!! 3 months later... all livestock survived and guess what? Nitrates FINALLY below 20ppm... its 15ppm... that is a success to me. Then continue with weekly wc... and now nitrates is below 10ppm. Again I repeat.. no 2 tanks are alike. So take any advice with many pinches of salt. And don't hold anyone giving the advice responsible if anything bad should happen. At the end of the day, the dicision is after all the tank's owner. Hope you find a root cause to your problem. I did not find mine, just decided to do the big water change after all fails.

Hi fellow reefers, Due to recent hot season ... I am looking for a 1/2hp hailea 90a chiller or similar with a budget of around $200. Please pm offers , thank you.

Thanks man. Just common fishes laa... nothing exquisite.

Share the same sentiment with you brudder... how the hell did I missed this huge, wonderful, everyone's dream setup!!?? If brudder tofubox's will be mini, mine will be super micro man..... Brudder tang_sohal, congrats to you for having this dream tank of yours. Hope to get the chance to see it with my own eyes, even if no drinks provided...... Really am excited and can't wait to see more updates!

Pheeeewiiiiitt
