Hi Buddy,

Sure , will take some photos later tonight when I got home .

I don't know what is wrong with my tank why it just simply can not grow acros? I have focused so much on the parameter yet all seems to be fine even with a bit out range. I have been thinking which of the below is making me crazy;

1) lightning
2) flows
3) return pump
4) skimmer
5) rocks
6) luck
7) non of the above , except simply poor reefer (hahaha)

People come to my house said my tank hardware should not make me be such a lousy reefer! Yes I admit that inspite of my investment ;
1) kessil A360
2) apex
3) geo 618
4) BK DC 200
5) Vortex pump

Not a single acros ever survive more than a month .......

Sometimes I want to remove all live rocks and change a new batch , I suspect there must be some elements that is letting my acros unable to survive , I suspect may be the live rocks I bought before may be contaminated with copper ? But acros live for about a month or so before die off, so if there is copper contamination , I suppose they should not live that span of time ? Or perhaps I was wrong ?

Anyway, I am still not giving up this hobby and perhaps some of you can give me a good suggestions.

I truly thanks Joseph and Elton for be so patience in helping me but because of back to back trip , I just do some regular maintenance and not adding any new livestock into my tanks.

Sorry, but I go back to NP biopellet after a failure with KZ for dropping back my No3 and Po4 to the range , don't know why I can not get back my no3 and po4 with KZ but with biopellet it just simply kick in after couple of weeks or so ?

Cheers ,


MD

Hi MD,

Wish you could start a new post to let more user to join discussion with you.

As you mentioned before, none acros can survive in your tank, but some digi did. Have you tried any other monti sps? It looks like not a copper contamination. I suspect remove all live rock can solve your problem too.

Thanks for you advise , just create a new topic for discussion , finding solution and perhaps a documentary of a transition from an acros grave yard to acros heaven ( oh how I wish my dream come true)!

Does all this die off happen when you are on trips? Maybe you need to get a tank sitter.

Anyone sell Skimz products in Taiwan? I'm interested in their dc skimmers, SN143. If not, guess I'll just order off taobao.

Anyone from Tainan? What brand of led lights does everyone use on their 2foot tanks?

I'm in Taipei and use rapidleds corona over my 2ft cube. Someone in Kaohsiung uses the mars box with some mods.

[davidsu]

It depends on what kind of tank you are going to have.
for corals ,you can go ask 迦拿 fishstore which is a good place you can ask about it in Tainan.

The 20 NT one should be RO. Choose the cheapest one. As for the more expensive ones,they add more cartridge filters claims that they are amazingly good for health. So that they can let you pay more.
