Gouldian Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Nice work bro! I think your LRs is still not enough but I guess you will be adding as you go along. Anyway, ensure that you fully cycled your tank, you will be amazed by the results you get. Quote "Reefs, like forests, will only be protected in long term if they are appreciated" Dr. J.E.N.

Any ideal where i can get it or i need to DIY You have to DIY them. There are good, as stands will prevent dead spots and save some costs of purchasing lots of LR.

SRC Member aStRoBo| Posted March 23, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted March 23, 2005 just buy a few more kgs worth of liverocks, place it at the right side of the tank, make it like a pyramid, but height lower than those of ur left, should look good.

SRC Member yiling Posted March 23, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted March 23, 2005 nice tank:) need more LRs though what u plan to fill the sump with? Quote [ My Humble Home] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaohui75 Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 For the sump, plan to put a lot more filter wool to act as mechanical filter. And also more coral chips to act as PH buffer (i know it will b nitrate factory) but hopefully the huge amount of wool before it will filter off the poo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaohui75 Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 I am starting to have diatom algae problem, so bought this two turbo and a blue leg hermit crab to help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Reefbum Posted April 6, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted April 6, 2005 Bro very nice tank.Juz watch out for algae coz think you got plenty of sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaohui75 Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 Thanks for the advice. I got no choice because my balcony is the only place i can have my fish tank. I have also cover the left side of the tank with black oyama paper. I am planning to get more turbo snails and also increase my tank's flow with more SEIO power head. But i am afraid i may be overdoing it because people say this is due to new tank syndrome- a lot of new tap water so high phosphate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
