Hi all,
I'm sure the information I need is somewhere in this forum, but I can't find it!
Firstly, where is Hong Leong. Anyone with address and contact person/number please post again
It's called Marine Life Hobbiest at Hong Leong Gdn Shopping Centr, tel 6777 4047.
Secondly, my marine tank's water parameters are as follows:
KH= 9 dkh
NH3= 0.2 mg/l
NO2= 0.2 mg/l
NO3= 50
pH= 8.0
What are your experienced comments and suggestions? What are the safe/optimal levels of each in marine tanks?
I believe your tank is going thru the cycling process, so you NO3 would be high. The rest are within acceptable parameters.
I am keeping hardy fish, inverebrates and corals.
Thirdly, I was at Rainbow today and one of the guys recommended an ioniser (or was it an ozoniser?). Is this necessary/recommended?
Not neccessary. BTW I wouldn't recommend Rainbow....cut throat and dun have the ample knowledge for marine eventhough they used to sell marine b4.
Finally, a protein skimmer... I have a 2ft marine tank and protein skimmers are so huge! So they recommended a really huge protein skimmer that is hung on the outside of the tank (something like those trickle filters). It is "Red Sea" brand and is selling there at about $205. Anyone used this before? How good is it? Anywhere selling cheaper?
The Red Sea one is the Prizm model which is a hang on model. There have been mixed reviews on this, personally I have not tried them. I am using ORCA which cost me $18 from Petmart. Works okay for me.
