Ok ,,, i have question , what can you do if you have fish start to nip on your corals ? how can you catch it ?

Well, good question.
No, I can't catch it.
That's why I have to be very careful when select the fish.

Hello ChingChai, I will share your sadness....

I had a group of them too... This species is extremely difficult (Pseudanthias flavoguttatus I believe...?).... even harder than the Ventralis I'd say....

What I did was I kept them with only 3 fish in my 150G (2 clowns and 1 mini blue tang) and I only had my actinics on most of the time during my photo period to simulate the deep water condition... (so they'd come out of of the caves) I fed them only with frozen mysis, brime, and planktons 3 times a day. They ate very well and eventually always show up and swim in open areas in the tank. But they just got skinnier and skinnier everyday as they kept on eating more and more..... by the end of the second month they were added into the tank, only a pair were left.... I guess I was lucky for having them for 2 months, but still... watching them die is just a pain. I guess I will never try on this species again....

Hi Kev,

Thanks for sharing your information.
I agree with you, it is a pain to watch them die.

The reason I use ozone is to improve water quality. That's it.

I think tthat is number one reason that reefer use Ozone cause it make you water clearer. I bet that every reefer that use ozone will tell you how much clearer the water is. :spin3:

Paul only have SPS but I have plenty of LPS. Too risky.

teslo. Thanks.
I connect the output of ozone to ozone reactor and then back to sump.

On the left is HDPE (high-density polyethylene), and on the right is GAC (granular activated carbon)

JUst a question sir. Whats the reason of putting HDPE on the ozone reactor?

 

[chingchai]

The reason is to dilute the concentration of ozone.
