Marine Newbie

ya it's a new tank, around for one month plus. That's sounds worrying!! I had a blue regal tang but it also died not long ago, there were like bruises around the head area, when i took the corpse out, there seems to be blood stains. What am i suppose to do now? i think it's hard to find the loose murderer!

My maroon clown's tail just been bitten off last night, the other tank inhabitants are 2 common clown, one bicolor dottyback and one electric blue hermit crab. Who could have murdered the maroon clown. The maroon clown is the largest of the fishes in the tank.. sob sob..

Anyone has this in their tank? do they feed on flake food? wat is their suitable food?

Other comments? Will try to add more liverock bit by bit... hhaha, hope it tourns out nicer, though i quite like the arrangements now.. hehe

If i add live rocks now will i have to start the cycling process again? or can i just add bit by bit?

Is that air driven skimmer useful? No budget and space to change to a better one.. shld i just use that or just down use a skimmer?

I guess i will just settle for a Fish with live rocks tank cos on low budget. Corals might be a bit too ex for me at the moment. The tank is residing in my hostel at the moment.. i still studying.. haha.. It's a 2ft by 1ft by 1ft tank.. running on a cannister filter at 1200L/Hr with 2 PL 55W tubes and an airstone skimmer.. Around 10kg of liverocks..

Here's another pix

This is my new 2ft tank, been cycling for 3 weeks already... a budget tank... comments greatly appreciated...

I am facing the same prob, some of my live rocks and part of my sand turning brown in color. What shld i do to get rid of this brown film of algae? It's getting a bit unsightly, advice pls. by the way i am cycling a 2ft tank for 3 weeks already.

Hi all, currently cycling a 2ft tank with cannister running at 1200L/HR. there are 4 levels in the cannister. Currently having 2 levels bio-glass, one level biohomme and one level sponge. Is this ok or do i need anything else?

Hi all, anyone have a 3ft or 4ft tank to sell? PM me and tell the price and dimensions. CHeers!

Interested in the anemone and liverocks.. PM me if it's still available. thanks

Hi all, anyone selling live rocks at $4-5/kg. Enough for a my new 2FT tank setup. PM me thanks.

Anyone has a 1Ft tank to give away? asking on behalf of my friend who wants to rear freshwater fishes

Any more comments fellow reefers? Would need much help..

Hi all, what filter mediums are essential? I am having an external cannister filter which has 4 levels, going at 1200L/Hr, advice pls. How often do i need to change the filter medium? Cheers!

Thanks for all the advice.. will consider zoo and mushie... hehe..

Ok, i think i will follow the advice of changing water every week, which is around 10-15% i suppose. I know i will be tempted to add more fishes.. haha, actually, i am more interested in corals which are really nice! Currently i bought a Weipro 2011 hangon skimmer from a fellow reefer for $10, but i do not have a pump for this skimmer so i was wondering if i want to put on the skimmer. Though i know by having it is safer but i would need to buy another pump for it, haha.. dilemma.. , any other comments pls? thanks all fellow reefer!

Hi all, currently having a 20L tank cycling using a external canister filter running at 1200L/Hr. Planning to include some hardy coral like mushrooms and 2 fishes to start with. Is it a neccessity for me to use a protein skimmer? or can i just make do with this filter and water changes fortnightly? PLs advice. Thanks. Cheers!

Hi all, thinking of putting in corals, which are the easiest to start with? which are the most hardy?

Thinking of puting corals in my tank. Which are the easiest to start with? Advice pls. Thanks.

Hi anyone has a canister filter and a hangon protein skimmer to spare or sell cheap? suitable for small 20L tank. Thanks.

Looks like i will go get a canister filter and testkits first, after the cycling is done will slowly get my nano going, i dun mind the maintence part in actual fact, hope everything will go on fine. thanks for all of your encouragement!

Thanks for your advice, i get what u mean, but i will learn more things along the way and i really hope i can make this small marine tank a success, guess i would try to put as little fishes as possible. Thanks for your advice anyway!
