poor sailfin..... so confined. let it go lah bro.....

the president speaks the truth.

on top of that you do not need a sump to have a skimmer.. there are many good hang on skimmers.

attempt sps if you have enough experience and attempt sps without a skimmer only if you know very well what you are doing and the full knowledge of your tank needs.

looking at the sailfin in the tank i would suggest you put sps on hold 1st, at least till you have a skimmer.

not being mean but its really a good outcome for the livestocks and yourself.

and healthy sun corals are a pretty high form of bioload in my context.

and the picture you used was backdated compared to your updated livestock list i supposed, and i do not see a wavemaker (><)"

Brown SPS > Kinder Surprise

White SPS = Kinder Surprise after expiry date

Assumption killed the dinosaurs, they didnt have test kits.

Hi bro, the pic attached is very recent (2 days ago.. I guess.. :rolleyes: )

As for skimmer, I just bought a reef octopus hang-on skimmer today from Irwana. As least I have got the essentials for a marine aquarium. ;)

I will slowly upgrade my tank to a 3ft once I get the hang of it. But its going to be a heavy investment.

I think 3ft is the biggest that I will go cos I would like to reuse my equipments (chiller, skimmer, etc), which their max load is at 3ft.

I know my tank is really too tiny for all residents already. Sigh... But all are too nice to give away thou.. :(

Hmmm... I think I saw you... Victor testing it out for you, yea? That's quite a huge a$$ed HOB skimmer! Do give your reviews of its performance.

Haha yeah! I was there this afternoon. We were doing a leak test before buying.

What were wearing when you were there? Maybe I would have seen you too.

Peacemaker - so far the skimmer is good. Will give elaborate details on the skimmer (Brand: Reef Octopus).

Hi clam, did not want to dilute your sale thread so moving it here:

But is it ok to "downgrade" a Sailfin Tang to a tomato clown? Cos I thought my bioload very high liao.

Yah you have quite a no of fishes in your tank liao. Having one more is really no good. Maybe just sell it cheap away.

Try to keep these fishes you have alive for 3 - 6 months as a start.

Hi jacky, thanks for the conversation shift.

I did not realise the importance of swimming space for these fishes.

I will do my best to keep these fishes alive in my care. :eyebrow:

I intend to start the 4ft after 6 months to 1 year after this tank.
