SRC Member Shadow Walker Posted November 26, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted November 26, 2014 Just pour the whole bag into DT with the water? Or we need to filter the pods with a fine net?

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted December 2, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 2, 2014 Thanks guys! Ya, risky indeed.. But am glad. They took pellets on day 3!

SRC Member asg Posted December 2, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 2, 2014 anthias lover here too. Bro you might want to try TDO C1 pallets, my blue eyes love them. cos anthias is mostly mid level feeder, a lot of pallets are either floating or sinking pallets, so anthias might not be able to catch them.

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted December 10, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 10, 2014 Update: Today is Day 25, and its almost a month! Decided to upgrade to a bigger skimmer and got my self a Bubble Magus Curve 7, the curve 5 was my first initial choice but after researching decided to go for the Skimz SN123, its a good skimmer with DC pump, but not enough for my needs IMO. Went straight up to Curve 7 which produces 520L/hr and is rated for 700-900L, Definitely overkilled! I also changed my reactor to the JNS Omega 1 as the JNS Alpha 2 were way too big and was wasting space. At 700l/hr the pump were dead silent and were spinning the AIO biopellet really well! http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/fissiden038/IMG_20141207_121430_zps3aafdd33.jpg.html'> Managed to set up my jebao dosing pump and is currently dosing kH and Ca together with Fauna Marine Balling trace elements. I had no idea why but my tank were sucking 0.5 dkh almost daily! http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/fissiden039/DSC07919_zpsa59ea5aa.jpg.html'> Amazing skimmer producing skimmate 5 minutes after washing the cup. Though it is a china brand, but i believe it does not lose out to Skimz or even Deltec. Time will tell how long the rock pump will last (i bought this 2nd hand!) http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/fissiden039/DSC07921_zps0e2d1fc3.jpg.html'> Moving on to the main tank, All fishes are doing great! 3 Dispar and 2 Blue eye anthias are feeding very well on pellets 4-5 times a day (Small amount) My midas blenny loves to swim together with the anthias http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/fissiden039/DSC07959_zps4f5586bf.jpg.html'> Potential alpha male? http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/fissiden039/DSC07965_zps7c901058.jpg.html'> Just got myself this big boss emerald crab, Its 2" big with huge claws! Damn its scary.. http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/fissiden039/DSC07971_zpsa37946ba.jpg.html'> Hanged my Aquazonic 2ft 2-tube fixture and running D-D Actinic + (AKA ATI Blue plus) and ATI Purple plus.
