  1. If u want to add new fishes and kill disease at the same time, then you can add either copper for ich or Prazipro for flukes. But you need to remove copper later if u go reef.
  2. Yup,some lessons that I learnt the hard way 1) MUST quarantine all fishes 2)Copper kills ICH (100%)
  3. My clown trigger is also not aggressive, my powder blue is more agressive than it. Make sure your tank is big enough as it can grow very big.
  4. If anybody seen a flame hawkfish anywhere, please gimme a shout ,thanks!
  5. I used Cupramine to rid of ich before, it works but need to test water for copper to ensure it is at the right amount. And have to remove all corals during treatment. Some fishes also do not tolerate copper well.

  8. Hi, I have dosed gradually till my current level at 20 ml,if your nitrate doesnt drop,you have to increase gradually.
  9. I have used AZ-NO3,it works but it is too expensive for such a small bottle($30 at 240ml),I have switched to a cheaper alternative,vodka ! Only $18+ for a 1000 ml bottle from duty free shops. It works,no problem holding NO3 at <1 to 5 with heavy feeding for more than 6 mths,needs a good skimmer though.Cheers.
  10. Hi, I think after 1 month,I see a drop in nitrates from 25+ to 10. I have been dosing for 5 months already,the NO3 is maintained at 5-10.You have to increase the dosage till it drops,it works but a good skimmer is needed though. You can search Reefcentral for more information. Cheers
  11. I am having good results with using vodka,NO3 5-10 for several months with 14 fishes(5 are big ones) and heavy feeding. Or you can try AZ-NO3,but that is more expensive than vodka. Denitrator will help too,but i havent go into that.
  12. If you struggling to pay for this hobby,i suggest you come back later when you are a working adult cos this hobby takes money. Well that's what i did after 10 years of waiting (i failed miserably 10 years ago,when i did not have budget)
  13. Hi Steven, Dont need to bother about addictives during cycling.Just keep testing for ammonia>nitrite>nitrate. Once nitrate is detected,you are ready to start stocking after a water change. After you have corals then you need to test for Calcium,KH,Magnesium & PH. Salifert is a good brand.Keep reading when you are new Cheers Andy
  14. Hiya, I am sure everyone's taste is different but what's everybody's Top 3 Most Beautiful Marine Fishes? My Top 3 : 1)Clown Trigger ( Too aggressive to keep in my reef tank) 2)Emperor Angel ( Kept 1 but died..) 3)Mandarin Goby ( Have not kept yet)
