  1. These few days having massive headache because of diatom ! Going to off my lights and stop feeding them for 3 days to see how the outcome will be ! By the way new addition to my tank !

  2. Those who have please pm me. Thank yoU !
  3. Thank you guys for all your supports !! Going to update now !! After setting up my tank, i went to plug all the necessary things needed to cycle my tank. That includes hydra stream 2 too. Hydra stream really reduce ammonia and nitrite level to 0ppm. That's amazing but TAKE NOTE it doesn't remove nitrate. You still need regular water change to remove that but another side is if hydra can remove ammonia and nitrite then will there be high nitrate? Decided to throw in the traditional way and that's market prawn. It helps to increase ammonia level for you so your cycle can start ! I didn't take very long to cycle my tank. I left it there for about 2 weeks and start measuring my ammonia, nitrite and nitrate level. Thank god results is in order for me to put my fishes in ! I really love the progress of adding new fish in. This is my current fish ! 1X true percula clownfish 3X chromis 2X (i believe is Blue Gudgeon Dartfish) 1X Cleaner wrasse By the way i left out my wave maker ! I bought gyre 150 from a nice reefer at a good price too ! Really lucky to get all these good deals ! To end the post, this is my FTS (Full Tank Shot) and FSS (Full Sump Shot) Sorry about the messy sump because all items are still not in place yet. Still looking for another affordable reactor to run my Rowa so any lobang can recommend. Any comment or feedback is appreciated. Thank you for your time !
  4. Agreed ! Even some of my rocks is breaking apart after 1 hour of soaking !
  5. As i know because vinegar is quite strong so if you put it for around 1hour is more than enough.
  6. Hi guys, This wouldn't happen without the help of those bros in this forum especially Willy bro, Ali bro and others ! Big thanks to Leon bro ! I'm starting this thread is to update my process and also learn from all the bros here. I had a 3x1.5x1.5 tank with canister but i find it too troublesome especially of the space constrain so i have decided to go for 322 tank cabinet with sump !

After camping the forum for almost every minute each day, finally managed to really get all the good equipments with very good prices. Firstly before my tank arrive, i went to bleach and soak vinegar my live rocks to kill all the unnecessary pest that will bother my in the future.

(Buy a chlorine test kit to ensure NO chlorine inside the rocks before you sundry it) Step 2, Bring out to sundry it, after which soak in vinegar for around 40-60 minutes. Step 3, Done ! But you can sundry it again if you want. This is the additives i will be using for now ! After long await, my tank finally arrived ! Quickly went to wash my tank another round even though it's quite clean (Left the water stains) Went to rock scape before adding in any equipments. Please advise on my rock scape !
