about lighting, it is same watt produce from power compact light with T5HO??
as i know,standard fluorescent don't same watt produce..

my latest tank...add some live rock..









don't add livestock yet..

sure not same watt output, even different brand of T5 will give different result.

take a smaller bucket, add the salt and test your hydrometer.
make sure is working before you use it to test you main tank

haha finally the hydrometer is working...wrong calculation of my tank's volume forgot to add in the sump's volume....still need another 2 kgs salt... arghhhhhhhh btw anyone know where i can get chiller for me 350 litres tank below 1K????

Hi guys, do u all know where I can get some snails or hermit crab in kl? 

2nd hand resun CL650 chiller normally cost around rm600, u can ask your regular marine LFS to keep an eye for you. don't buy any stocks from them, just ask and tell them u don't have chiller so cannot keep, haha. very soon enuf they will help you to get 1.

Dude, I recommend you not to rush into this. Take ur time, buy a book or 2. Read and understand what you are trying to accomplish and by what means. rushing normally ends in disaster and you wouldn't want to loose beautiful fished over our mistakes right.

Just my advice.

I just got a 4ft tank over 2 months ago. I cycled it for over a month. and algae problem, fixed that with lighting cycles. Working on my sump, overflow, LED lighting and algae scrapper now. Only have 2 goby and shrimps in my tank. till my whole systems is up and running and stable i don't plan to add anything in.
