SRC Member artxakis Posted January 7, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 7, 2014 wah ur tank looks really nice. im using standard local cheap tank 3ft tank to try keeping saltwater fish. almost a year now got zoas and a few lps. using tapwater with antichlorine. my torch n brain n favia n zoos all bought as frag from local reefer are doing well. to check kh n cal initially i use salifert but i try api i got same results. parameters just follow wat expert say but the most impt to me is salinity bcos i think its not called saltwater tank for nothing. never do direct feeding but broadcast feeding with zoo n phytoplankton, coral frenzy, poly labs, dried mysis all mixed together in a bowl then just dump the whole thing in. twice a week. my sps is in a different tank. cannot mix they like to eat dat much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrometer or refractometer?..your Damsel is nipping cause the coral is dying..pls let me know..really wanna help you! Hi bro, thanks. My tank is almost a year now same with my R420R. all of my lps are fine except the two open brain that I lost recently also the elegancy. I am using salifert test kits and refractometer. I think my KH flactuate a bit coz I dont test for quite sometime but still it's within the range. I am not really sure what is the cause, why my coral die. It just didn't open for few days and the fish started tearing it off. Where do you stay? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
