u need additional software to read and write chinese.

by pushing PH to 6.5 and coralline algae will grow faster? that's means that i can actually grow coralline algae during cycling of tank? does it needs strong lights as well other than enough calcuim?

i have a chiller, so I think MH should be ok, but is the blue light a must in marine tank? was thinking of going MH alone. Was told that blue light is on first to get the corals "warming up" to the instense light of MH, is it true?

can I know where you bought the red sea skimmer? and what media you using for ur canister filter? cos I am going to have another setup similiar to yours.......but me planning to use 150W MH light but afraid that it's too bright.

are you using the red sea prizm hang on skimmer? care to review? is it noisy?

let's do a survey, my 2ft tank, CL280, kick in about 13-15mins, then rest about 30mins.

any expert know what the maximum load (Watts) one main putput can support? I think that regardless of how many extension is used, as long as the total load does not exceed the maximum load for one main output it should be ok, rite???

no choice......cos my room only have one main point which is nearest to my tank.......

me not an electric man, but i am only using one main powerpoint with two extensions, each extension can support 6 power socket. and all my sockets is taken up, some socket even have 2 applicances plugs on it.......so far so good.......except when lighting strike close by there might be a power trip.......

ok, thks guys........ one more question, i'm using PL tubes 36W x 2.......is 6500k enough or should I change to 10000k? will these lights be sufficent to keep clams?

thks for the prompt reply........ guess now i am ready to start up my 2ft.......

Hi all, I am planning to change my planted tank 2ft x 1ft x 1ft thickness 5mm to a marine tank. Do you guys think that the 5mm thickness is enough to withstand the pressure of saltwater? I will not rest any liverocks against the glass and will be adding live sand at the base. And I will be using 2 canister filters with combine flow rate of 1500 l/h, is it enough just for clams and yumas or mushies? And what will be the required medias in the filter? Planning to put coral chips, biohome, filter wool, carbon. Was wondering if the coral chips will rise the Kh to a very high level? I plan not to use any skimmers, will it work if I am planning to have very low bioload cos rearing solely frogfishs only. Just weekly water changes. Any advise is greatly appericated. Thks.
