Roidan's Reef (I)

[aStRoBo|]

Sounds like yellow tang should be on the watch list. May be should not introduce yellow tang until all other tangs are introduced due to their aggressiveness.

Agree?

From my observation, juvenile YT is more agreesive, when they become adults, they eat and eat and dun bother with others.. i had one before, nv bully any fishes.

Understand you use coralife salt. How do you find it? Does it work well for you? Have you tried other salt and what is your comment?

no problems with it....i like the free tshirt that comes with it

your got your maid to change for u sibo..?

haha..

no lah bro...i want to enjoy the pleasure of husbandry

....tank husbandry i mean

[roidan]

Hmmm...actually frequent changing of water will mean that you frequently need to readjust your kH levels. I find that if my tank I change 2 coralife bucket full of water..the alkalinity will drop from 10+ to around 9. Then I have to dose my reef builder again..... So actually if you change water often...it will be expensive...not just the salt.

quite true...i read that coralife have inconsistent calcium/kh levels in different batches of salts

I used to use Coralife..but since months ago I change to Tropic Marin already.

skimmate ....more kopi O than MUD...kopi O can be seen from earlier pic...MUD less muddy than aquaC...but it's because i tuned this H&S to collect wetter foam..instead of dry foam...

it's tunable between wet or dry foam
