[DeepBlue]

nice tank!

great job....many fishes

[kee]

deepblue. which one are u refering too? haha i am quite blue.. mushroom?? or sea pen?? or anemone? my tank canot compare to yours .. your so nice..

[DeepBlue]

no lah...it is a purple anemone....I went back to examine the specs again....

My tank is nothing great compared to the gurus here....just another Rojak tank....

[kee]

ohh haha i dun tink it will die.. enough light can get to it.. that is just a anemone i get from farm at $4 i find it very nice.. i duno where to put it so i just put it there.. haha any suggestion?? i really find ur tank nice.. teach mi wat to do

[FuEl]

I would reduce the fish load by half if I were you...or be prepared for very very frequent water changes.

Fishes add alot of bioload into the tank. Especially active ones.

[kee]

thank fuel for the suggestion.. i reduce frm 17 to 10 fish i tink now i am left with 9 actually i remove my two normal clown but i put it back becus it get along well with my true percula.. so i dun bear to remove it.. the fish all very small 1-2 cm only 2 -3 is slightly bigger.

[reefer guy]

nice setup... but dont you think you have too heavy bioloads considering the size of your tank?

[kee]

thank thank so that mean i redue my no. of fishes?? by how many?? half??

[DeepBlue]

is that a unicorn tang (blue lip with blue dots?)

Just that tangs bioload is high...may wan to consider that..and the cardinal doesn't do anything...wan to reduce...catch them first... or do frequent water change ...I do that...Often....

[kee]

hmm okie okie.. i am not sure wat tang is it. greyish colour.. deepblue if i remove i duno where to put? if i remove 2 small clown abt 1-2 cm does it help?

[FuEl]

You could get away with so many fishes...if you try to increase the total water volume... You could get an I-box linked to an external sump.. And use the sump as a refugium with alternate lighting cycle as your main tank. Will help to stabilise your tank water parameters at night.

[DeepBlue]

good suggestion

[kee]

really thank for all your suggestion as i would like to like to learn more as i keep the fishes.. i enjoy looking at them everyday.. anymore suggestion??

[reefer guy]

looks like a unicorn tang alright..... your squirrel fish will grow fast in time, n will find trouble keeping small fish as they are predatory.... suggest not buying anymore jewel corals, not really recommended though very nice with the 'waving' hands, it doesnt last long.... not sure but ask the experienced reefers if your light is sufficient enough for your clam....

hey, but u got a great healthy setup man!!!! guess if u dont want to give up your heavy bioload, follow their suggestion

[jd_n]

Saw that u r using a spray bar , i would recommed u to remove it and point the elbow in the direction u want to create current and improve water circulation.

[kee]

thx thx i will remove the bubble. any suggestion on where i should place the water outlet?? facing the coral or?? great thanx man.. as for my fishes.. i tink its ok as they are really small in size.. i buy small small things.. my jewel i only have 1 and i place it at the highest point as i noe it need lots of light.. thx..

3 FL lights

i am confused

[metals99]

got your PM.. but all i can say is that i find it great man that u can keep them but do keep us update anyway.. why do u use 3 feet fl light?? for 2 feet tank it doesn't make much difference am i rite to just use 2 feet light??

[kee]

hmm becus i wan it to be brighter i use 3 diff type of lightings. i hope it will be better.... metal thank for all the suggestion as i really need them to improve if i am over bio load wat shld i do? wat should i remove?

[iLIKEfish]

well that is a LOT of fish for a tank that size..

if u're gonna remove some fish (i think u do, unless u love doing water changes)

dont throw em away k

give em back to ur LFS or somethin
