History of tank.
Week 1: Run tank in saltwater only
Week2: Change 30% water with purchase water from Pac Marine.
Run tank with live rocks and 2 clowns, 1 banded shrimp, 2 hermit crabs and 2 anemones (brown in color. Was told it’s pretty hardly kind.)
Week 3: Present
that is pretty fast... me waited for abt a month for cycling the tank b4 i added my first coral and fish.. give time to your tank to settle down.. then add corals and fishes slowly.. dun forget this.. at this stage, your filtration is not fully capable of breaking down the bio-load inside your tank... and adding more might just crash your entire system and u would have to restart.. which, is very expensive.
Okay back to those questions:
Is your water quality abt to support them?
Water quality seems ok from the look at it. How do I measure water quality?
my friend, u can't tell water quality from the looks of it.. u need to test it... just like clear water may not mean that it is good.. it might be acid for all u know.. u need to use test kits to check for the parameters.. using test kits.. basic test kits are like NO2, NO3, NH3...
What is your lighting systems?
Currently light is 2ft white and UV light. (don’t think its those 10K. Just simple fluorescent tubes that recommended by marine LFS.)
which brand of FL are u using.. some LFS can just give u lights whose spectrum do not meet the requirement of your corals.. however, if u just have fishes, u dun need 10K lights.. 6500k will do.. for viewing purposes..UV lights?? or is it just blue lights such as interpet bluemoon FL tubes??? a lot of difference leh..
What is your current water parameters; NO2, NO3 etc. What is your water temp?
Will post the reading tonight. Temp about 29-20c
it is fine.. maintain it in that temp
Got a quote today from LFS on 2206(pro II) at $288 at Marine Parade.
try asking petmart, nature or C328.. u might be able to get it cheaper..btw, it is 2026 not 2206.. for a moment, i was stunned and blurred.. ahhahahaha
