My First Tank in Ottawa

[MJChang]

thanks to a whole lot of guys, who sold me things and earned my money and now earns my compliments

my setup of tank is almost finished

some spaces left blank for some exotic corals that probably needs seekin hard in the market

and this is how the tank looks and some of the corals in

would like to update some pix later this week if the ritteri does fine

most of them survive well so far--except two corals that failed because of somethin bad in skeleton, which, to my experiences, happen to some frags in particular of stylo and birdnest

probably they shoulda survived if i didn't put'em under rocks to do some supportin job after havin figured out there was STN

Very, very nice! Could we get some details? How long has it been running, what size is the tank, lighting etc.

[MJChang]

i put the lightin much higher than usual---usual 6 inches but my workers mistakenly doubled it

probably the tank's shadow than usual 15 inches tall so it works ok so far. so i havent corrected it yet

hey, thanks

now my priority comes to cleanup of cyano mess

[dakrazyone]

i use to rake it out with my net to remove most of it then do more water changes til it's all gone.

i got a ritteri that hate changes of water

so i'll try a combination of phos control, coral snow and bio digest this time

The tank looks very good and is coming along nicely.

I'm a tad confused about the size....

19*17*15 only works out to about 20G.  It sure looks bigger than that.

well, bad math and memory

as to make it accurate, i measured with a ruler

it's

39*29*19

and 19*17*15 is my sump size

[Rybren]

Okay.  That makes a lot more sense to my simple brain.

[MJChang]

[dakrazyone]

[Lockpick]

Maybe throw some chips in there the fishes might want something to accompany the brews lol

[kole18]

Actually its another type of Vodka dosing method " Budwiser" reduced nitrates  j/k. hope everything is ok bro, do a water change for sure run carbon etc... to avoid loosing your livestock.

[MJChang]

one thing for sure

those fish'd never drink and drive
