NH3 : 0 using seachem ammonia alert

NO2 : 0 using tetra

NO3 : unknown , but i know should be high as diatom sloing dominating.

pH : 8.0 to 8.2 using tropic marine

using tropic marine triple buffer to buffer kH and pH . pH tend to drop , dunno whether is it due to hypo .

anyway all fishes are healthy.

LS: regal blue tang , hawaii yellow tang , true percula and flame angel.

not intending to add anymore .

my juvenile yellow tang is not eating ... argh !

change 20 % weekly using red sea salt. last time use marine environment but find it too ex. tried tropic marine , will say it's one of the best but still ex.

Well done! Nice tank...

I suggest, keep it up!!

Dont add more than two more fishes and all, you should focus now on making ur fishes happy, maybe the food intake, vitamins and all.

Try making ur fish last for 1-2years! I got a good friend whos fish lasted 3 YEARS until he murdered it :P haha.

Cheers, i love fishes.

eh i dun think the blue tang is suitable for a nano...

Its a tang, potential to be huge fish and can no way fit into that tank

yup i agree and i see huge blue tang. will sell once it get too big . really love the intense blue . but i must say it is one of the most interesting fish in the tank . very vibrant and greedy.

now who want my tang when it grow up . provided it survive the hypo ordeal. :)
