great, thats what i wanted to hear. the algae was already growing some time ago, just i think 2 days ago i left my lights on for 12 hours+ forgotten to switch it off and went for classes thats why there's a bit growing on my sand bed.

most probably get the oceallaris, orange ones. dont quite like the maroon cuz they're territorial i think? and i prefer the orange ones.

anemone see first lol. lfs selling for RM40 the anemone looks like ritteri anemone. i've seen clowns host on white mushroom coral looks not bad also.

its been a long wait, going to test my water parameters this friday.

the anemone in ur display is nice,what is its name? where'd you get it?

thx for ur suggestion bro i think i saw some african clown in the lfs tat day, will check it out.

attention please ......do i need specific ballast for straight pin PL bulb??
or i just need the straight pin socket??

normally screw time noneed ballast coz already builted in , pin type need ballast.

I want to use 4 pin straight pl dual tube light..do i need ballast??

went to lfs and saw a maroon gold stripe clown, RM35 ok price?

my tank is getting covered more with the diatoms everyday, is it a sign of ammonia dropping?

i'm going to leave my tank for about 1 more week before getting livestock 

i only have the nitrates test kit.

what kind of PL, is for marine use?

most important test kit is nitrates & KH
now your kh should be around 12,
after u add live stock it will drop in few months time.
need to maintain it at 9, other test kit is optional

i dont think there's a need for any removal media.

experienced marine keepers use live rock as the main filtration and in fact they are against any filter media.

yes it for marine tube..it has dual tube that is sun tube n artinic tube..made from aquazonic..

0o..okey..what the supplement for FOWLR??

damn it cant wait ad, i wanna go to LFS n get some livestock, will post pics if my water parameters ok.

your light i not sure, different lighting on the market, better check with where u bought it.
nitrate keep as low as possible but is not harmful but rather stressful to some fish and coral.
certain algae & more plant base coral will need nitrate as food source also.

refugium in sump will be good, will help to absorb nitrates
