Ano po ba dapat ko muna bilhin and gawin and san best bumili? If tama po yung nabasa ko for now need ko muna yung sand, live rock (aquascape) filter, skimmer then let it cycle muna? :D Balak ko sana mag start na po ng cycle this weekend.

Ang unang tanong e kung gaano karaming pera at oras ang kaya (at gusto) mong ilabas. :lol:

Wag ka munang magmadali bro kahit FOWLR lang yan, plano muna maigi para walang unnecessary expenses. :) Di naman karera ang hobby natin so no need to rush things. :P Sa ngayon unsolicited advice, double check mo muna yung integrity ng stand at tank mo. Kung carti style stand yan, posibleng maging accident waiting to happen iyan. X4 ang bigat ng SW tank compared sa FW.

Trust me, sa tagal ko na sa pag-aquarium ang laging reason ng tank leaks or worse, literal crashes ay dahil sa faulty stand.

Kung makadaan ka this Friday afternoon maigi. Para makita mo rin muna yung posibleng mga dapat mong bilhin.
Cheers,
Marty

Thank you seth! Sa oras hmmm whole weekend hahaha weekdays kasi work 8-5pm so baka gabi and early morning ko lang maasikaso. Yup FOWLR muna talaga balak ko.Yung stand naman I think matibay naman siya pinagawa kasi to sa magbabakal talaga (gumagawa ng mga gate, grills) and mabigat pa halos sya sa aquarium. Actually nag ikot na ako nung Sunday sa cartimar. Nag canvass na din ng mga need at nagtanong tanong sabi nung isang kuya which is parang mas reliable na tanungin kesa dun sa ibang natanungan ko na ng ooffer ng package all in sa mga need. Siya lang kasi ng suggest na filter nga daw muna and live rocks i cycle ko nga daw muna. Gusto ko na kasi mag start this weekend para unti unti mabili ko na yung mga need since weekend lang talaga ko free.

Posting pics of the stand would help. :)

Pwede ka naman na munang bumili ng liverocks at sunsun wavemaker then water and sand tapos iwan mo lang muna para magcycle.

Yung sump? Maglalagay ka ba?

Marty

Walang gussets, pero pwede na yan para sa purpose mo. Wag mo na lang tadtarin ng bato lalo yung mabibigat. :D

Mas okay rin siguro kung may plyboard sa ilalim then mat or styro para even yung distribution ng bigat.

Kung mag-cycle ka na, kuha ka na ng maaayos na liverocks. Then kuha ka na rin ng sand kahit dun sa landscape stores sa bandang Munoz malapit sa Royal. 200+ lang isang sack dun.

Tapos get the usual - decent hydrometer, saltwater master testkit (since di naman reef plano mo), a large extra bag of salt for your regular WCs (maglaan ka rin para sa emergency water changes) then a wavemaker and some battery operated air pumps in case of power outages.

Kung maisipan mo na mag-sump, mas maganda. Mabuti rin na mapabutasan mo na yung tank para kung ilalagay mo na yung sump madali nang ikabit.

Wag mong madaliin yung cycle, habang nag-aantay ka maganda rin na maresearch mo na yung mga balak mong ilagay na isda at kung compatible ba sila sa tank at sa isa't-isa. :)
Cheers,
Marty

Thanks, papa dagdagan ko na lang ng brace. Yup meron styro sa ilalim yan. So kung mag su sump ako dapat pabutasan ko muna yung tank? If not naman ok na muna yung tank ko? San ko papabutasan banda bro? Zero knowledge talaga ko sa SW :D. Ang alam ko lang nun ng FW ako, Filter, pump, yun na. So balak ko kasi this weekend bumili na. Ok lang ba sa Cartimar bumili or may mas malapit sa atin? And would you suggest na mag sump na ko as part ng cycle?

Definitely go for a sump, at sabay mo na sa pagcycle. Baka may mga glass shops naman na malapit diyan sa inyo na pwedeng pabutasan para di mo na kailangan dalhin sa cartimar yung tank. Pwedeng 2-3 na 1" holes o kaya naman isang 2".

Ok lang rin sa carti ka na bumili ng sump or pagawa ka na lang sa malapit. Di naman kailangan fancy yung sump. Basta may partitions ka lang para sa return pump at skimmer, and kung maglalagay ka ng refugium.

Keep it simple, lalo at magsisimula ka pa lang. Pero at the same time, "future-proof" mo na rin para in case magupgrade ka ng gamit or maisip mo na mag-reef, di mo na kailangan bumili uli ng bago. Tingin-tingin ka ng sump design sa google or sa members tanks forum.
Cheers,
Marty

Bro Welcome to RP! wag kang magalala nasa mabuting kamay tau ni Master Marty! :lol:

BTW taga malinta lng ako. si symphi tga mapulang lupa naman.

Regarding sa isda, may bibigay ako sau na ayaw kuhanin ng lahat hahaha...

bowtie damsel bro nice starting fish. may domino rin ako pero para d ka mahirapan ung bowtie na lng muna (aggressive kasi sila pero cgurado akong makunat na hehehe). research mo ung characteristics nya.

regarding sa mga equiptments, marami taung sponsors dito. nung naguumpisa ako (actually disgrasya), binasa ko lng ung room ni brother Marty, dami kong natutunan. advice ko rin sau basahin mo un medyo mahaba lng nasa 70+ pages na.

Tama si brother Marty, ayusin mo muna ung stand make sure matibay (quake proof, rust proof, child proof)

Sa live sand and live rocks, sa pagkakaalam ko may mahihingan ka rin dito sa ibang reefers. pinakamalapit sa atin na bilihan ng equiptment is FevMarine (Cubao) or AaronGo (Balintawak)

Oks thanks, sige mg check ako ng sumps. Pero maayos na sumps na din para isang gastusan na lang. Thanks sa tips bro. So pwede ko ayusin/bilhin this weekend are sumps, mixture, wavemaker,liverocks and sand. Sa filter pala bro anu ma su suggest mo? Kasi tanda ko nung ng ask ako sa carti meron ni offer skin na 3 layer pero pag di daw ata mg sump yun. Pina dagdagan ko pala ng brace yung stand just to be sure.

Thanks bro excalibur! Nice sa malinta ka lang pala sa paxton naman ako. Hehe gusto ko yang mga bigay bigay na ganyan. Haha sige check ko ng rocks sa malapit sa atin kasi wala ako car so most of the time commute mode ako. Haha
