ive always been curious and i want to find out how you guys deal with power failures. its something the aquarist must deal with at some point in his hobby so maybe u can share with me some practical tips based on your experiences of what you can do?

Bai Juan,

I bought a battery operated air pump before. I think it costs around 100-200 pesos. You can run it with 2 A size batteries

Kung wala ko battery, I just remove the top cover of the tank

@Dubcity

what do you mean dakpon? illegal diay ang mag reef set-up? why is that? is it coz of the corals? pila man sad kha ang magasto sa reef set-up? i know thats a difficult question to answer but just like an estimate
and by the way, i only commented on the LED's coz on the pic u posted i thought i saw u had some corals there, but on closer inspection i saw that it was just your background paper, hehehe it looked quite realistic though at least from the pic.

hahaha juan carlos got you there sa background wahehehe..hmm estiamte nako bay ha mao ni..

1.) lights - 1k (high end na ni na lights) - needs intense lighting man gud..
2.) Protein Skimmer:its around $40-$50 sa states..naa diri barato tag 800php ..sa aqua pets..japanese brand
3.) Filters: hmmm nice filters would do..
4.) SERA test kits: very strict ang reef only system with the presence of minerals and mga chemicals..dapat jud ni naa .. it costs around $20-40 depending on the sizes..
5.) REfractometer: wa pako kahibaw tag pila ni,mas more accurate kaysa sa hydrometer..naka gamit ko ani katong ga trabaho pako sa donut co. diri sa cebu sus siga akong mata 4k php plus daw..
6.) REfugium -> must have*
7.) KALK Dipper - must have pud ni*
8.)calcium reactor - must have again.. *

waaa daghan jud kaayo juan .. kanang naay * mao na siyay mga wala diri pinas..hard to order kaayo.. :drool: kung maka setup ko ug ingun ani ka kompleto suliton jud nako

ask nya ko tips sa mga naka handle na ug marine aquaria thnx =) my populations getting bigger na kay sigeg palit akong uyab tawn..hahay hehehe ang budget pud ani..samot.

[zerk]

dub,

the fish per gallon sa marine mas gamay. forgot how much but it's not like fresh water. be careful of overstocking.


@all

you know what they say about how the redness of a rummynose tetra tells you about the water quality? mine's pink. bad case of icks... mahayon jud nako si ryan ani. :P hehehhe

im using the sera medication and i bought an aquarium heater yesterday and set it to 30d.... ok ra ba na?

[alvingo]

Dub city very nice i like that heheh unsa ka dak ah ang aquaruim, ma boang nasad ko ug marine tungod nimu hehehe

@Juan, I always stock lightly so a 24-36 hour power failure is not really a problem. once it goes beyond, i think ill go look for the battery operated pump.

@dubCity, hehe nailad pud ko sa background, abi kog katong pula tinood to na coral. hehe. Those A.Ocellaris look great. no plans to buy an anemone? $__$ or go planted? Caulerpa looks great.

@Zerk most sources in the interent recommend 30, so it should be fine. i think cardinals can tolerate higher temps in the wild but not sure about rummies. Some people say that medications are useless and salt is the way to go since salt attacks the very reason why ick swarmers are able to survive in the open water, via osmotic pressure. Othere believe that the ick we have today is mostly resistant to medications due to strains that have adapted to improper treatment. Just like how some bacteria are now resistant to antibiotics.

But i think the formalin should work fine... Im assuming the sera medication contains some formalin.

U dosing at half ?

[zerk]

the instructions were in german.. :P dose till the water turns a little blue... hahhahaa, sobra man to sauna pero naka sulat icthi-something.

how much salt should i put then, my tank is about 35 gals irregular shape man ni?

one of the rummy naa murag somthing nag bitay sa lubot. like a grain of sugar big.
