step by step with my 100 Gallons tank

[ahmadeng]

I Think there's need more blue light
Would you tell us the lighting specification of your tank now ?

Hi "L34F_angel"
my lighting system as follow:
1- 1 metal halide 14000 K 150 W (this lighting is turning on between 11:0 to 16:0)
2- 2 T5(36 W) 10000 K and 2 actenic(36 w) (this lighting is turning on between 10:0 to 22:0)
3- 1 BLUE LED 3W as moon light is turning on between 22:0 to 10:0)
4- my refrigum lighting is opposit of tank lighting with 12 W LED 6400 K and 36 W PL 5100 K

in bellow picture i turned the actenic off and in following picture turned the actenic on

Welcome to "dunia air asin" Ahmadeng.

Before we can share our thoughts about your tank please give us the complete description about your system:
- Filtration. ( it will be helpful if you give us a short description about the filtration or if you are new in this hobby and still confuse about the filtration system then just give us a full picture of the sump thus we can figure it out by our self).
- are you using chiller?
- Other equipment specification such as return pump, wave maker, lighting system, protein skimmer.
- test kit and additive.
- water parameter when you introduce the coral and fish to the tank and current water parameter.

here's my opinions:
- To many chamber on the sump
- To many live rock for the tank

Do you live in Indonesia? if yes it would be great if you start learning bahasa .

thank you "botki"

HI "ONI"
Thanks for your comment. I am living in Tehran (the capital of IRAN) and supply the live rock from "HENGAM ISLAND"(Persian gulf)
I have 100 Kg of live rock (approximately) but in Iran consider 1 kg of live rock per 4 litters of tank volume for reef and 1 kg per 8 litters for fish only because we use the live rock for decoration and live basement of bio filter

HAI ahmadeng ....
thanks for the information ...., welcome on this forum, and hopefully we can all share knowledge with each other ...

Hi Ahmad, welcome to reefsforum.
My name is Oland.
It is very nice to have fellow reefer from other country.
I suggest to keep the Mg above 1350 first, then followed by Ca 400-450, Kh 8-9.
I like natural filtration too.
Natural filtration need more time to kick in, in my opinion it needs minimum of 6 months for Live Rock and even more for Live Sand.
I think your refugium space of 15x40x40 is too small

Hi OLAND
Thank you and so much
it is planed to increase the magnesium 10 ppm per day from 5th April.
thanks for your suggestion
in my country most aquariuist use this method for filtration

Hi guys
what about my decoration and corals?

 

[oland26n1]

Do you mean the scaping style?
If yes, i believe both are more on personal like.
Here in Indonesia, the rock attached to coral already takes up some space.
So i prefer to use many small LR to decorate/scape

What kind of corals you like more, softies, lps or sps?

your meaning of "escaping style" is about punting the live rock or not?
please explain more about this matter
the most popular coral have been supplying from your country
I like LPS and SPS(specifically Acropora and elegance)
the corals of Persian gulf regularly contain anemone(babel and carpet) and sea fan and acropora and mushroom

 

[E_2091]

scaping style, not escaping style. Scaping=decoration.
Usually we use little rock for scaping, because most coral already have some rock attached.
