you need to list out all the things included in detail than we can give you suggestion.
chiller will be around 1-1.2k depends on the model.

3ft tank does it include sump tank ? how about lighting. hmm.gif

From what i got from the shopkeeper, cultured clown is breed by themselves, one cost around Rm 20 or Rm 22, and common clown is cost about Rm 8 or 10. I bought cultured clown due to common clown out of stock recently.

tank bread percula clown, this type can survive in more extreme condition. actually getting those normal false percula clown will do especially when they are small.

more expensive i would go for true percula.

if you want fast than get water from your friends when they do water changes, get some dead prawn/fish meat from the market cop to tiny pcs and drop into the tank.

basic rules, food->ammonia->no2->no3 ( no food where come the ammonia and so on )

get a bottle of biofuel (or something simular) which will stimulate the growth of bakteries

you tank will cycle faster.

i have helped few frs setup their tanks for pass few yrs also doing it this way, cheap, good & fast thumbup.gif

Hi all reefers, this is specially posted to Ipoh reefers.
I found out that one of the LFS there which is sibeh LCly. Gona make some complain and give you guys some info about it.
the shop near Jusco named ** Meng Trading. Guess the ** yourself. Can figure it out from the post.
they are selling variety of corals and i admit that its nice.
The services really bad and the husband and wife which are the owner of the shop really very proud and look down at people.
made me feel like i am begging at their shop? flaming.gif
asked their advice and brief info of the corals like care level and guides.
they told me its rubbish, throw inside the tank sure can keep. ( Since he said so, so did the case mean that hes selling Rubbish? )
I bet and believe that he is the worst FS ever if compare to other states or countries' FS.
Gonna post in all of the forums of Malaysia. waffen093.gif

Thank you.

here r my set up ..
u means throw some meat into the tank den let it recycle to bcome ammonia ?
wat is biofuel ? whr i can get it ?
by the way is dat necessary to turn on chiler too when in recyling period ?


Added on January 12, 2011, 1:18 pm1 more ques..
hw can i noe my tank is ready ? goto run some test ? wat kind of test i nid n wat things else i nid to buy ?
*
very nice layout sin drool.gif


you have more than enough solutions to kick start, no need buy biofuel.


your chiller can put to 30c during cycling, save $$ and less noisy.


all the middle sump media for me i'll throw it away and move the skimmer to the middle compartment. water slow down stable than only skimmer will work more effectively.

get an ammonia test kit & no3 test kit.

seahorse not for beginner, leave them alone smile.gif

you need to breed live artemia or copepod to feed them for few months at least.

they don't take frozen food or pallets especially those from the wild

defaultname365:
you need to cycle your tank for at least 2months, wait for caroline algae to start growing before you buy any fish.
DO NOT listen to those workers especially from larger fish shop such as East Aqua. They do not understand how the system works.
Do more reading before you restart your tank. i hope you are lucky enough to brought the correct equipments.
Google "reef central" for more information. I am not sifu, but i read a lot about keeping corals in past 1year. havent got the courage and money to start my marine tank yet,
*
rclxm9.gif they know how the system works very well but even better they know how to make $$ out from the consumers, lol
just encourage you to buy more and if it dies than just buy again !!! and again !! finally your equipment not good enough, trade in your old one for fraction of the purchase price and pay premium $$ for new one again... drool.gif
