Alright guys... i felt really bad that i got you all into this crazy crazy discussion... Im so stubborn yes... Im sorry.
Anyway, good news:
YT - returned weeks ago (u doubted me, afilter? y would i lie?)
mandarin - returned this afternoon
blue linkida - returned this afternoon
I was thinking alot last night before i went to sleep. I figured out i shouldnt try what the other experienced aquarists have tried with mandarins. I don't have the experience. Plus i figured i shouldn't let you all down after all ur efforts of helping me. So yea... i returned my precious fish
(it was NOT easy to ask my dad to return the fish n star especially on a weekday!)
O yea about my dad 0.o he's always the one that want to buy unsuitable fishes for our tank lol. He wanted to buy a regal tank cuz it was in Nemo so my sister would be happy.
Anyway, i hope u guys can forgive me for my stubbornness. I guess i was born stubborn
. Glad i followed ur advices. I wanted to return those corals that i have but this LFS doesn't allow full price returns so i would lose a few percent of the money i paid. I had these corals for about 2 months in the old 20G so i just moved them to the 30G. 2 of them... i bought after my 30G is cycled (sorry >_<)
About the 30G, i tested and saw both of the ammonia + nitrite spikes. Parameters right now are:
8.1 - 8.2 PH
0 NH3
0 NO2
4-5 NO#
0 PO4 (Yes! Phosguard works)
800 Ca (unusually high. i'll take care of it with skimming and WC)
I'll buy a salinity test this weekend if my dad let me
I was gonna wait for awhile before moving the fishes but the 20G's N02+NO3 were extremely high (highest on the scale). I think it was b/c i moved all the LR in there to the 30G. So the guy at LFS suggested me to move the fishes + inverts to the 30G early.
Here's are some pictures of my tank that i took today. Abit dirty but i'll get some more clean up members later on.
Wish i took more picture when i had the mandarin
Oh well, hope you all enjoy my pictures. The mandarin and blue linkia are safe at the LFS (i hope) so no need to worry anymore. Thank you guys for your efforts. I'll try to take it slow from now on
