  1. Sad to say both my tang die. I most haertache is my yelow tang. This fellow sure settle down and start eating earliest. I have no idea why I am still having the Nitrate problem.

    Not getting any fish for the moment until I solve the Nitate problem.Left the spotted hawk, demsal and Chromis in the tank.

  2. hey bro, do u have to train your tangs to feed on lettuce ? or they will juz wack once they see it ?

    cheers

    Well something to share how I intro to my YT. Mine I bought the dried seaweed and clip to the food clip. Let the fellow know is food for him. Anyway I find that the dried seaweed smell nice enough to eat. Once YT used to the food clip I clip one piece of chines lettuce on the clip and leave it there. YT just 'dance' around it try to figure what is that then start ti nip on the lettuce. I switch alternate days between dried seaweed and lettuce. :D

  3. The right part which my Yellow tang likes to hang out and be 'friendly' with the other Lavander tang.This Yellow tang is eating like a pig, can fight with my spotted hawk.

    Actually I have something to add, my Lavander tang is nipping off things from the live rocks for food, and my yellow tang can finish one leaf of chinese lettuce alone. It is so glutton that I was afriad it will eat itself to death. How to balance these 2 tang in their intake? One eat like no body's business the other will only nip at the live rocks. I also giving dried seaweed to the tang one alternate days. One day chinese lettuce one day dried seaweed. Any advise??? :(

    My school of chromis is eating from my hand fish flakes. This is one thing I am very rpoud of. :whistle

  4. hmmm what fish is that? i cant tell pic too small also and the fish like cammo leh

    Yes that is spotted hawk fish. I have one hooked eye hawk hiding somewhere. He is new to the tank less than one week. Only comes out upon the sight of live feeders. :lol:

    Also add in one lavander tang and one yellow tang. Slowly....

  5. Updates of my tank, Ammonia nil, ph is 8.5, SG is 1.021, Nitrite is nil but the thing is Nirate is 25mpp.

    The thing is I add in more live rocks 2 weeks back and Nitrate was 12.5mpp. but it had shot up to 25 since a week ago. Did a water change 4 days back and today did a test again. The results are stated as above.

    Need to ask is my tank still cycling on the Nirate area? How long is this Nirate going to stay so high? So far touch wood no Chimos, Demsal and Hawkfish die on me yet.

    Any advise other than water change to bring the Nitrate down?

  6. :D  :D  u seem to like IR style of architectual. Anyway, it's a new and refreshing rockscape which i believe no one else has done it before

    Wah..what is IR scaping??I blur?? Alll I know is create 'cave holes' for my fish to swim through. Hee hee hee...still let tank cycle. Have to wait and still thinking what fish to put in other then demsal. Maybe a tank with hawkfish and chomis. Kind of like that fish now...

  7. I got 2 Flame hawks actually, both got from reefers who gave up. But the one in my office tank (avartar) decided to try out what's outside the tank... and it never made it back to where it jumped out from...

    They are very nice and cute fishes, especially the way they swim and rest on rocks. Very interesting to watch. I am sure u will like a flame hawk in your tank.

    I had the spotted hawk in my tank. But die. I did plan to have one longnose, one spotted and one flame. Yeah they are kind of cute fellow when they explore the liverocks. Also very glutton and daring fellows. :P

  8. Finally found out where went wrong liao. Did a test, PH is 8, KH is 8 Ammonia is nil, Nitrite is 0.5 to 1 range and Nirite is 12.5. Super high. I believe my tank is still int he process of cycling. How have to hold everything and wait and see.

    I would to check if now I top up more live rocks will it make the water unstable again? Unstable in the sense the test of these parameters will change again?
