    Maybe it is not hungry. They don’t need to be fed very often. I feed mine twice a week, any more and it will just take the food and leave it outside his house like yours. In general I can tell it is hungry when it spends more time out and about looking for food

    You’re intending to keep more than one mantis in the same tank? I think that is tragedy waiting to happen.. Even if your tank is really huge, there’s still a chance they’ll get into a fight and you might lose one.

    Feeding wise, a variety of foods is best. I give my peacock pieces of prawn, clams with the shell on and small live crab. Can get those from supermarket cheap. Sometimes will soak the prawn in Selcon too.

    If you have a spearer, can consider the occasional live feeder fish too. A bit cruel, but that’s just nature

    my first nano tank

    how do you attach the canister? to the wall? I'm thinking of inverting a bottle of water at the last chamber and let the tank slowly "drink" haha. but then idk what will happen once I go on long holiday. 

    The brand I use is red star fish. Hangs directly onto the glass, maybe you can google it for a better idea. The way it works is almost the same as an inverted bottle. My 2L canister lasts about a week and a half for a 2ft tank.

    If you don’t wanna invest in chiller now maybe can just get a fan first and start with hardier corals. The ATO will help with the insane evaporation. Tho I do agree with the others that chiller is the way to go if you want nice corals. No one said this hobby is cheap

    Ohh thank goodness then! what size tank do u have? any thread on your tank? 
    actually I'm not sure if I made the right decision to get a 10G tank for starter because it takes a lot of discipline to maintain. the evaporation rate is crazy.... 

    For the evaporation you can get an ATO. I’m using a gravity fed canister that you hang on the back of the tank. It does look a bit messy but the amount of work you save is SO worth it. Plus it will be more stable than manually topping up everyday.

    How to reduce noisy return pump

    in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby

    Posted

    may i know what pump are u using now? i probably need options if this pump dies on me lol!!
    may i know if u have a wavemaker in ur IM20? i think the IM10 is too small for a wavemaker. i have read of reefers who trim the blades to make the wavemaker less "powerful". i ordered a spin stream nozzle becos the flow is too weak.

    I bought this random cheap pump from Qoo10. JBA brand. Originally wanted to just use it to mix salt but it worked better than I expected

    My suggestion is to upgrade to a stronger pump and use with the spin stream nozzle. Note that the spin stream will reduce the flow a bit but I really like the movement. If you are not keeping SPS then you won’t need too high flow ba, just upgrading the pump would be sufficient.

    I have a wave maker in my tank to have higher flow for my RBTA. After adding it I feel my other corals happier also. If you want, there are small wave makers, no need to trim the blades haha so troublesome!

    How to reduce noisy return pump

    hi! have you managed to find a "cure" to the noise? i just bought an IM10 and also find that the return pump that comes with it is a little noisy. 

    OP suggested to detach the suction cups so the pump is no longer stuck to the glass. You can try see if this helps you!

    I have an IM 20 with a noisy return pump too but I could not find a solution to the noise. Ended up changing to another pump and now it’s silent.
