Hi sherwing,

One point I have forgotten previously. It is better for you to set up a Q-Tank for quarantining each new fish before introducing them to your main tank in future after you have eliminate all white spots in your main tank. I have DIY a simple one for my father earlier which can be used to quarantine fishes up to 4". Shall let you have a look of it tonight if you are interested

I know you'll say I'm crazy to put so much Angel when the tank is immature... This is cruel... Wrong...

This is also a mentally stressful week (like roller-coaster)... Initially, after using SureStart and some old live rock, I thought the N-cycle could be extensively shortened.

Thus I happily acquiring fishes everyday, and they are apparently happy in the first 2-3 days. Then, NIGHTMARE HAPPENS (of course) !!!

WHITE DOTS !!! EVERYWHERE !!! NH3 = 0.5, NO2 = 0.5 !!!
Then, I tried every efforts to lower NH3, including AC, bio-bacteria, solid nitrobacteria, etc.

But at time time, I had very little experience in handling White Dot. Thus... No need to say... from your experience...

Eventually, only 1 blue damsel & cleaner shrimp survive...

Then, learn more from experts & friends here & there. Make the following changes.

1) Remove Live Rock
2) Add substrate (don't want to, but the brown algae on the bottom is really disgusting...)
3) Add some dead coral as decoration & fish living
4) Add a few $10 damsels to complete N-Cycle

Until N-cycle completes (NH3 = 0, NO2 = 0, NO3 < 10),

1) Add 2-3 triggerfish (really tough fish, excellent for immature tank, I think)
2) Add 1 lionfish

Unfortunately, both trggerfish & lionfish work together to KO some of my $10 open tank fishes.

Tank restart. Triggerfish is very active and lionfish is pretty.

Forget to mention. After the white dot disaster, I read 康Kor's great article in handling white dot using the 1.010 method. Thus, I lower the salinity to 1.010 1.5 week ago. Thereafter, the white dots almost disappear (with only a few left, and sometimes none at all). And I'll continue to stay at 1.010 for another 2-3 weeks.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH to Brother 康 !!!!!
