20g tank - Valenzuela (Newbie)

Postby Excalibur26 » Mon Mar 24, 2014 11:33 am

Hi Guys, newbie here. I started reading the board this last couple of days and I appreciate all the information. Very educating!

Un nga lng sumablay ako.. went to cartimar last saturday to buy a freshwater setup but when I saw saltwater setups, I fell in love with it the first time i saw it. So what I did was to canvass around the area. I never had any experience with SW aquarium so mali ko na sales talk ako ng wala sa oras... I should have researched first... so ang ending, napabili ako ng setup worth 5K package daw un.

What I got was 10 live corals, 10 live rocks, white sand and shells, 20 fishes of my choice and ang kicker dun, 20G lang ung aquarium so at first i was really happy for such a bargain and the 20G is just enough for me kasi ilalagay ko lng sa study table ko. Ung aquarium ko nga pla is ung may cover na sa ibabaw na may kasamang filter and lighting(white and blue). Sabi nung nagtinda sa akin paguwi ko, ilagay ko lng ang tubig then ilagay ko na rin ung isda ng sabay. bnigyan ako ng 2 malaking plastic ng tubig na ginagamit na nila sa mga aquarium nila, hydrometer, fish food, calcium and reef something (nagiging blue ung reaction ng tubig pag pinatak). wala akong kaalam alam na iba pla ang setup ng FOWLR sa reef. iba pla ang needs nun... so for experts, alam nyo na ang ending hahaha..

sa ngaun, 1 na lang ang nabubuhay kong LS, 1/20!!! corals ko inalis ko na ung iba I only have 6/10 and 5 live rocks. after nun nagresearch na ko and I found this site. I guess it's better late than never... good thing sa binilan ko is may "warranty" ung LS. pag may namatay, ibalik ko lng daw sa kanila at papalitan nila. pero tinapon ko na ung mga LS ko at pinicturan ko na lng dahil wala akong time pumunta pag weekdays dahil sa work so wait ako till saturday.

Sa ngaun, im still in the midst of setting up a reef pero sa nangyari sa akin baka I'll settle down with FOWLR first.. so ngaun, I am currently treating my LS with some solution and I hope magsurvive siya... wala akong binago sa setup ko as of today and my LS are looking better kahit naka reef pa rin ang setup ko. Note wala akong skimmer, mamahaling lights or chiller. I think I will conduct an experiment with some of ideas i got from this forum.. BTW, wala akong water test kit... ang meron lng ako hydrometer... d ko alam ang PH ng aquarium ko sa ngaun.. nitrate or nitrite.. spg ko is 1.025

For other newbies katulad ko na walang alam sa ganitong hobby, i hope you find this experience as a lesson. hindi basta basta tong hobby na to. it needs time, effort, patience and money... I will set up a new system maybe next week... Sorry sa mahabang kwento! I hope you guys can help me with SW 101 :)

Welcome to RP at na welcome ka agad sa carti sales talk. :lol:

I prefer that you let your LS adopted first sa may stable na tank near you. ipaadopt mo muna para hindi mamatay dahil yung ginagawa at itinuturo ng mga tao dun sa carti ay mali. puro imbento at sales talk lang sila. Cycle first then pag okay na, chaka mo kunin ulit yung pina adopt mo para at least, may mabuhay man lang dun sa 6/10 corals mo na natitira + 1 fish. Hindi rin porket maganda yung magiging new place nila ay 100% magrerecover. Pag sobrang damage na, baka mamatay na rin dun sa ipapaadopt mo pero atleast mas mataas yung chance na may matira kesa continue your current tank. 100% all corals will die in time if without proper cycle.

thanks po sa advice sir :) currently ginagawa ko po ung water change every week, naka 1 week na po sa akin ung tank ko and i did a water change kahapon. I will need to do some shopping this thursday para bumili ng skimmer at salt para may stock po ako pang water change. also need the test kit (natutunan ko after reading some info in this very helpful site)

problem ko nga lng po, ung aquarium ko is covered. not sure kng may swak na skimmer na hindi ko na tatanggalin ung top cover ng aquarium. upon checking may space pa naman dun sa opposite side ng head ko. la pa po akong pic ng tank ko but will post it when I take the pictures.

for reference na lng po, ganito ung itsura nung tank ko. something like this pero hindi ganitong ganito ha hehehe

Image

ganito naman po itsura ng top pag inangat, reference lng po but not exactly the same

Please don't buy the saltmix na galing sa carti na blue bag. small bag yun na color blue. Any salt na galing sa carti na walang tatak(brand) don't buy. Mamamatay lang LS mo habang tumatagal.

Thanks po sa mabilis na advise master :)

actually nagpunta po ako sa fevmarine last week and Im planing to but their saltmix (blue treasure brand) and nagbasa na rin ako ng mga forums about dun and so far ok naman ang review. hopefully maging ok na tong SW ko.. aside from API may alam pa po ba kaung ibang brand ng all in one test kit? medyo mahal po kasi ung API test kit hehehe

actually API is one of the cheapest test kits available sa atin na most of us are using. may ibang gumagamit ng mas accurate reading pero mas mahal kesa sa API. For me, API is already good and Blue treasure is much more better than the blue bag sa carti.

Thank you sir! Then I'll go ahead and buy the test kit as well as the saltmix. grabe alam kong magastos tong SW na to pero d ko ineexpect na ganito pla kagastos hehehe :)

About sa lighting ng reef sir, sa tingin nyo po ba ok na ung existing light ko? ang nakalagay po kasi sa akin ngaun is isang mahabang bulb na may dalawang kulay (white and blue).

Image
(ganyan po itsura na mahaba)

Nung nagpunta ako ng Fevmarin, actually ok naman ung mga price at products nila medyo d ko lng gusto ung customer skills nila kasi humingi ako ng advice sinabi ko ung situation ng tank ko, akalain mong bentahan ba naman ako ng lahat ng paninda nila and they keep on saying na "mamatay lahat ng fish and corals mo kng ako sau tanggalin mo lahat and start all over, hindi mabubuhay ang corals mo kng wala kang skimmer, chiller, madaming lights, blah blah blah.. so eto need mo kailangan bilin mo to" at habang sinasabi nila un nilalabas nila isa isa ung mga bagay na un para ibenta sa akin.

parang ang sa akin kasi, sana inisip din nya ung bad experience ko and I want to save what is left kasi may buhay din naman ung mga LS ko. After reading some tips in this site pwede pa naman silang buhayin but it will take effort pero sa akin ok lng un.
