    Let them settle down first... Find those smallest ghost shrimp and drop it near them... Moving shrimp should get them interested...

    i have used bro chinmo's method, keep it at a corner of the tank..when i drop live shrimps in....it dun even bother to take a look.... <_<

    Let them stable down first... They dun eat immediately one.. Takes a few days to get them to feed...

    Are you keeping him in a species tank or community tank?

    Suggestions for tank

    in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby

    Is it true only sump can work?

    it depends what type of marine tank u wanted to have.....a fully established reef tank u will almost(to what i know) must have a sump to house all your heavy duty equipments.....fish only tank or FOWLR tank can be supported by a canister provided you do not over stock LS.....

    Sump allows easy maintainance, u can see for yourself how dirty is the filter media, increase overall tank volume which in turn keep your tank paramenters more stable....

    Pls correct me if i am wrong :thanks:

I have to agree that this hobby is not all about $$$, it can be fun DIY also especially with a bunch of like-minded guys. I will do everything myself... including building my own tank?!? ;)

    Denitrator

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    i think what u mean is a phophate remover.

    denitrator is not necessary at all.

    I intend to use a denitrator to reduce nitrate(when livestocks arrived).....so when will be the good time to install the denitrator? during cycling or after cycling?

    :thanks:

    Hi all....is it recommended to install denitrator during cycling or preferably after cycling? To what i know denitrator need a few weeks to be fully established....so i was thinking might as well let it cycle with the tank.

    :thanks:
