Sobrang late reply but thanks for the kind words. It's been six months and nothing much happened to the tank. I've been steadily adding livestock pero naka-impose pa rin ang "100 pesos or less" rule ko when buying livestock... I haven't plunged into buying any expensive corals yet pero mukhang malapit na. Dumadami lang ng dumadami yung coralline algae.

I just have a few questions, but before that, here are some compulsory tank shots:

The 50-peso anemone na may libreng anemone crab at anemone shrimp


A few minutes after turning on the lights:


So on to the questions:

- I can't seem to grow any zoas. For some reason laging sumasara yung mga zoa after a few days of doing great and then nawawala sila. Hindi sila nalulusaw like what I typically read sa internet. I actually found several pieces of zoa na nawala four months ago when I lifted one of the rocks yesterday. Buo pa sya pero hindi nakabukas, one "head" still opened up when I placed it in a container. Any ideas kung bakit nagkakaganun?

- Bumili ako ng Jebao RW4. It did great for about two weeks, and then it just stopped working. Unfortunately one week lang daw pala yung warranty so di na puwedeng palitan. Gumagana pa naman sya pero kailangan ko pa itulak yung propeller para mag-start. I tried soaking it in vinegar, etc pero same thing. Anyone with experience on this?

- Meron ba kayong marerecommend na magandang outlet timer? I've gone through two timers from ACE Hardware and nasunog parehas after a few days of use. :( May sumpa yata yung mga socket namin sa bahay.

Salamat RP!

Just want to share my tank. The guys here at RP have been very helpful so far, so sa lahat ng napagtanungan at kinulit ko, maraming salamat.

Just a short intro, I've been keeping freshwater tanks for almost 6 years now. I maintained three tanks for a few years, one planted, one discus only and another planted discus tank. I had to let go of them at some point though as I got a new role at work that had me travelling 80% of the time. Here's a shot of my babies before I had them adopted:

Anyways, work stabilized and we fast forward to 1 year ago. I tried to reboot my old 50g tank into a saltwater tank. I failed miserably though and everything was dying even with the correct parameters and all so I decided to dismantle everything and I re-assessed the situation.

After a month or so of planning, I decided to try again, but this time, on a smaller 15gal tank. I left the tank cycling for 1 month, then added my clean up crew. I left it again for another month before I decided to add fish. I had no more equipment at this point (not even a testing kit) because I promised myself that I won't be spending anything on this until I'm sure that it will work dahil nasasayang lang. I only had my old canister filter, my old 30w light fixture and a cheap hydrometer. Everything else, I relied on my instincts.

Fortunately, everything went perfectly for 9 months and I decided to transfer everything to a new tank, buy better lights, and add some other equipment.

Here are my tank specs now:

Tank: Mr Aqua 30g low-iron tank (24x18x18)
Filter: Eheim 2217 Canister (I'm thinking of turning this into a reactor. Thoughts, anyone?) once I have a fuge/sump.
Stand: DIY wooden stand
Lights: China LEDs c/o Jancorwin
Livestock:
- 1 ocellaris clown
- 1 three-stripe damsel
- 2 yellow-tail damsels
- 1 yellow watchman goby and his partner in crime, a red banded pistol shrimp
- 1 long-nose hawkfish
- 1 purple-tip anemone
- 2 starfish and several snails
- 1 hammer coral (my tank's first non-clean-up-crew resident)
- several zoas, a leather coral and another thing that I forgot the name of, all donations from Jancorwin
- three patches of seagrass (ngayon parang five patches na)

Here are several shots of my tank. I was going for a minimalist rockscape pero nadadagdagan ng nadadagdagan yung rocks everytime I add something new to the tank.

Before:

Now:

I'm eventually planning to build a sump or a hang-on fuge for the extra clean-up and pod production at para matanggal ko na rin yung ibang rocks sa display. Puro easy to maintain corals muna ko ngayon, pero pag naka-ipon pa ko ng experience, I'm planning to add some SPS sa taas nung rockwork. :D

Again, thanks for all the help so far RP!
