hope it will be alright the nxt time i go back home... hmmm.

ok my bannerfish is confirmed alive. and i got a new pair of additions over the weekend to replace my lost ones.. but the thing is that the moment they got in, all 5 tangs all went after them, and even my damsel and strawberry dottyback did the same.

fishes can take it as long as they are not shocked by the sudden change in SG/KH level. i have seen fishes survive for years in an SG 1.005 environment. it could be less, cos its juz damn low. and the marine fellas all grew up and grew fat. 2 fox face and 1 convict. same thing for hgh SG level cases.

just something to share from my side. i am currently running a CL-650 with my 320L (main plus sump) Tank. My return is feeding into the chiller, and then the output of the chiller goes right into the tank. This way, cold water from the chiller goes straight into the main tank, and enables more even spread of cold water into the main tank. the thing to take note of is that my chiller kicks in for about 15 min every 35 min, meaning to say 15 min on and 20 min off, when all my lights are on. that is about 200W worth of lights, and trust me it heats up water really fast. when everything is off it kicks in once every hour, and dat is on hot days and nights. i personally think its a pretty ok performance for a cheapo chiller. den if you consider what pump i am using it is quite different from the above feedback. i am using a weipro 5000, which is 5000L per hour. so approximately 4500L of water is running thru the chiller every hour, and i am getting the above performance. which i personally feel is quite contrary to the snr reefers' observations. the reason why i am only running on 1 pump to feed the chiller and run the output of the chiller right into the tank is cos to cut electricity bill, as another pump will consume another 8-10 dollars a month. and on top of that my sump has no space. juz something to share.

hey bro! thanks for the compliment, i guess i attribute it to e "oldness" of e tank.. hehe. dont have to worry much bout anthing at all.. anyway surprisingly my banner is still alive... and no longer being whacked by e other tangs. instead i saw something really interesting yesterday, was that the banner was cleaning the PBT! the LPS in my tank all stil opening up well, so i guess they are all untouched..

upz for a good frenly seller !

hahah thanks bro. haven touched my tank much at all. will look to give my chaeto 12 hours of light at least. cos right now my white lights and refuge lights sharing the same timer, so its only on for a max of 6 hours...

hahah i am like soooooooooo busy i got no time to slp for e last 5 months pluss. oh btw, ORD LOH! hehee

humongous ones...

used to be injured prata... now...

all after it.. haizzzzz

and this fella too. became the center of attraction in my tank. all 5 tangs went right after it when it was released into the tank.. dun think it can last beyond day 3.

added this new fella today. hope it will be fine.

some time to update finally. nothing much done to the tank. a few things RTN-ed, mostly looks e same still. added chaeto into my refuge recently. after 1 week not much growth. izzt cos i only run 6 hours of light in e refuge? will it affect e growth? and also e chaeto trapping a bit of detritus inside. will it cause any harm to it?

lets be nice to everyone. dun be so hard on e kid.

impressive amount of coralline. amazing. what is your dozing regime like?

am i involved? heh

nice!!

All Hail Jervis!
