yongshun Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 The fishes i haf in mind are as follows: 3x chromis, 1x firefish, 1x either lawnmower or bicolor blenny, 2x true p. clown, 1x cleaner shrimp So the order of fishes to be introduced into the tank will be as follows: - 3x chromis - 1x firefish - 2x true clown (together at the same time) - 1x blenny (either lawnmower or bicolor) - 1x cleaner shrimp Is tis order correct? From the most peaceful to the most agressive (not considering the shrimp)...The fishes will be introduced in intervals of 2-3 wks, depending on the water parameters and the availability of the fishes...though i really feel like putting all in together at the same time bt i noe cannot haha Quote Main tank: 4.5 x 2.5 x 2Skimmer: Deltec AP701 Return pump: RD 6Chiller: Daikin compressor with Titanium coil Wavemaker: Jebao w-20, Maxspect Gyre xf150 Lighting: 8x54 ATI Sunpower Non-dimmableLinked tankMain tank: 2 x 1 x 2Return: Eheim 1260Lighting: AI Hydra 26 with controllerWavemaker: Tunze 6025My decommed 3 ft setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedidavid Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 giving up the idea of getting a FR after advises from a few senior reefers...not realli tat impt as mine is only a simple setup, w/o any sump I think you definitely need FR, I had experience running NC 24 before switching to RSM. I use sorb-4 on the filtration chamber but it's not effective at all and PO4 removal media is not cheap. It solved my PO4 problem after I transferred my sorb-4 into FR. Anyway some FR can be used out of sump, like Skimz, Deltec , RM, etc. Get reliable one because if FR leak it will flood your house this down side of sump-less design.
