[newmarine]

The pic of the skimmer is in this thread too.... it's a in sump skimmer.

hii newmarine... did any ls die or disappear recently.. cos cud be a fish died and is rotting somewhere inaccessible n causing the nh4 to be hi... anyway if the tank is cycled, this nh4 shd be back to 0 very quickly

[newmarine]

Yes, think got 1 x rainbow wrasse died about 3 weeks ago. But my nitrate had always been high. Sad Sad.

Another problem that I face is that my tank wall will always have brownish thing on it. So have to keep cleaning it like every other day.

[newmarine]

Went to Paradiz Reef and bought my first SPS. Love the color and hope it will survive.

Here is another pic

Taken from front of tank. Put it at the top and near overflow to create the flow. Any advise

[c0ol]

Best of luck to u bro

[newmarine]

hehe... thanks.

Will try my best to keep it alive.

[jervismun]

Good choice bro... PR is know for their stable SPS... definitely higher chances in keeping it alive

[newmarine]

Thanks Bro. This is my first time trying. really hope it survive.

Is your tunze hidden/ stack under the LR? Will there be an issue in the event you need to clean/ service your tunze?

Btw, nice setup!

[newmarine]

Hi Bro,

That is not a tunze, it's a seio 820. Thinking of getting a tunze to increase the flow.

I have only 1 pcs of rock above it. so very easy for cleaning.

[jervismun]

Hehe... a Tunze ain't that small... that's the only setback of getting a Tunze IMO

[newmarine]

Ya, but tunze produce more wave.. so will help with the diatom in the sand bed. i think

Yes Tunze is damn "powderful"... even the 6060 is strong enough to create a complete loop in my 3ft tank... the only thing is... it is too bulky... I am actually waiting for the new Tunze Stream Nanos... they are extremely small and cute... I heard they can be quite costly

You considering a controllable or uncontrollable Stream? I've tried many different models... perhaps I can offer some tips

And yes, a constant current flow can minimize the amount of diatoms on the sand bed... but flow itself is not good enough to eliminate them totally

[newmarine]

Thanks Bro.

In fact, I have checked out the nanostream in germany and it cost around euro 200 for the controllerable one.

I agree that tunze is very big. am thinking of 6060 too so to keep the sand bed clean. will be getting a de-nitrator and at the same time using rowas.

But still thinking of where to put. Any advice?

Can PM me the link where you saw the nano stream? Maybe can consider the VorTech Propeller Pump

[jervismun]

No you will get it first coz you have access to foreign market... I just have to wait for those kind LFS to bring them in...

Just went to Henry's place to buy his food. Tried on my fish when home and immediate they go wild.

At the same time, notice my skimmer started to work extra hard

[lyz77]

Dun kw why leh, my fish doesn't kw how to appreciated henry's food leh!

[newmarine]

Well, may be my fish are by nature greedy. But I notice my coral like them more

Anyway, anyone saw nice flame angel this week. Looking for 1 or 2 for my 2ft fowlr spare thank BTW, how much does they cost?

Is angel reef safe? Heard that it will attack/ nib on coral!

[newmarine]

Ya think they are not reef safe. But intend to keep them in my spare 2ft tank not in my reef tank.
