Hi AngelLove and Earth
a) Which brand of pallet did u feed your angels ?
Is it necessary to soak fish food with Selcon and Vitamin to get vibrant colour for the angels ?c) Is it necessary to feed sponge for the big angels ?
d) Since u have some many angels, how do u maintain your water quality. I guess both of u must be changing a lot of water
and using a lot of Phosphate remover media ?
For me, I am feeding only pellets and seaweed to my King, Queen, Emperor, Blue Face, Majestic and Blue Ring in order to maintain water quality. My Queen is mostly yellowish golden without the striking vertical blue stripe on its body. I find it hard to maintain water quality if I feed them frozen food. What is your Phosphate and NO3 reading ?

When u add your queen and king angel, did u add both together ? Or did u put the angel into a QT box in the main tank. I am thinking of adding a blue angel into my tank which has a queen and a king angel. It take a very long time for my queen angel in the QT box to accept the king angel. What is my chance of adding a blue angel with a king and a queen angel ?

Hi
With the high electricity tariffs nowadays, I intend to reduce greatly the numbers of hours for the T5 light to be on and also the fan blowing across my 3ft fowlr tank. Will my colour of my fish fade ? Has anyone experience this ?

Hi Achilles
Thanks for the suggestion. Is there any side effects about growing chaetomorpha since mangrove growing will consume much magnesium ? Which LFs sell chaetomorpha ?

OK, Thanks for sharing the info.

Hi burnerj
Do u mind sharing your replies about mangrove and which LFS sell mangrove. Thanks.

Hi Acidjazz
Are u also using DI water for water change ?

Hi Acidjazz
What will the NO3 level for those who use a super over-sized skimmer and with heavy livestock ? Will it be still 0 - 5 ppm or higher ? I understand u also keep a lot of fishes in your tank. What is your NO3 ? How do u maintain it ?
-
Hi Earth
Notice that u are keeping many fishes. Even with a powerful skimmer, it is not possible to skim out everything. There will definitely be NO3 present. Are u using any denitrator or anything to remove the NO3. What is your NO3 level ?

I did quarantine for about 2-3 weeks and the Clown Tang was feeding well before releasing into main tank. Not too sure whether the Clown Tang got white spots after the Powder Blue Tang "Terrorises" it in the main tank or the water quality still not good enough because I tried flame angels and coral beauty a few times. Each time the pygmy angels did not last more than 3 weeks in the tank. I have never been successful with pygmy angel.
-
OK. Thanks for replying . Is there anything for water quality that I need to take care other than the PO4 and NO3 ?

I noticed u keep Clown tang and Clown Tang needs very clean water. My clown Tang died after about 3 weeks. Is the water quality more stringent for Clown Tang as compared to Powder Blue Tang? Currently, I am using Rowaphos to keep PO4 to 0 and AZNO3 to keep NO3 to 5 ppm. I am not using any carbon. Do I need to use carbon to remove other chemicals in the water ? What brand of carbon do u use and do u use it continuously or remove it after 2 or 3 days ?
-
Hi Alvin
Your PO4 & NO3 are so low even though yours is a 2ft tank with so many fishes and corals. Do u use PO4 and NO3 remover? If not, how do u maintain the water quality. Also how often u change water and by how much ?

Hi Angel lovers
I had tried a few times to keep Coral Beauty and Flame Angel but it was not successful. My Koran Angel ,Purple Tang are alright. Any suggestions on how to keep Coral Beauty and Flame Angel. My water parameter is
PH : 8.2 - 8.3
KH : 9.2 -9.6
NO3 : 10ppm
PO4 : 2.5ppm
Temp : 30 - 30.8 celcius ( Not using chiller )
I did not test for NH3 and NO2 since my tank is already mature( about 1.5 years ).

Hi Jackalcleo
I have a UVC UV light which is 10W. I have only used it a few times previously to kill algae and bad bacteria. It looks brand new and less than a year. Call me @ 93833862 if interested.

Hi Alvin
Thanks for the info. I believe u are using Marine Max to keep your fishes healthy which your dad did recommend to me
-
Hi Alvin
Saw your Powder Blue Tang and the Clown Tang. Not successful in keeping the 2 fishes previously. How do u get these 2 fishes to eat inititally because they are choosy eater. Do they eat pellets or some other foods ? Also Powder Blue Tang catches white spot easily, how do u manage to keep them disease free ?

Hi
It is going to be expensive if we use DI water for long term use. I understand that the cartridges need to be changed after every 1000 litres of tap water. Can a protein skimmer remove the Phosphate and NO3 which is present in the tap water ?
-
Hi Wolvie
I noticed that the bubbles will formed towards the end of the week. I agreed with u because by end of week the water will get dirty and the when I do a 10% water change, the bubbles at the bottom of the overflow box will disappear. The bubbles will reappear again at the end of every week. Hence it could be high organic content as u said. I am using a MACRO skimmer and it does it usual job of skimming light brown skimmate.

Hi Pegasus1010
I do not have a picture to show. It is just bubbles at the the bottom of the overflow box. Someone told it is good because it contains oxygen. Hence, I am just verifying with the more experienced reefers.

Hi
I am having a lot of bubbles in the Bio balls at the bottom of my overflow box. What does that mean ?

HI
Does anyone know what is the power consumption( wattage ) for Artica 1/10 HP chiller. From Artica website, it is stated as 75 watts. Is the chiller using 75 watts @ 110 volts or 240 volts ? From the wattage, I would like to calculate the power consumption used per month.
