My 1st 5 gal nano tank

I set up my tank just about 3 months, problem goes and on or still going, but I'm still very enjoying this hobby. Now here is my set up:
Main tank 5 gal, 
sump tank 2 gal 
a plastic refugium tank about 4 gal with 3 inch deep sand bed
Led lamp
4 DIY fan
Wave maker
Substrate in sump: dead coral, activate carbon, sponge

Water flow set up: 
A HOB on main tank with DIY flow over to sump, a pump flow over to plastic refugium then flow back to sump, and a pump suck the water back to main tank.


As what I know a nano tank needs to keep it simple, so not sure am I over do it.

I'd cycled my tank for a month by using natural sea water. Yeah natural seawater. I live at small town very near the seaside and have couple of fisherman friends so they can help me when they going to off shore. 

I let the water sit for 3 days, then filter it by using Fine clothes and use activate carbon, pump and mix with some coral salt to get the desire sanality.then cycle NSW for an hour and use it for water change. If still left some NSW I will store it in the plactic bucket and seal it tide, and keep at dark place.  I only store for 2 weeks or else I will dump it. I'd tried a 3 weeks NSW and Copepods in tank all dead, thou my fish and coral still alive but coral is not feel well too.  so I recommend the FRESH NSW only.

I got a malloon nemo, 1 toadstool, 1 buttons, 2 turbo snails and 1 nassarius snail, and a small bunch of chaeto in refugium.



Here is the photo


The main problem I met in this 3 months is the nitrate high problem, brown algae everyway in the tank, but very lucky fish and corals are all able to stay still and now start seeing the brown algae is lesser and hopefully the chaeto able to compete the nitrate high problem soon.

I'd stop adding invert about 1 and half month to deal with brown algae, and maybe 1 more months later can start add some new member to the tank, hopefully. 

My refugium is full of Copepods and main tank too. That's make me feel lazy to feed the nemo, but it's too picky not really likes to catch Copepods but just wait for fish pallet, what a weird fish. I only feed it when I remember, maybe 2 or 3 time per week. 

Still planning what is the next new member to add. It's a nano tank so I will try my best to choose the right corals for it. And for myselt too. Haha..

Starting up a 5 gallon nano tank

After get back to hometown there's really  a lot of things need to be readjust such as lifestyle, work life, times and place  with pets and off course the relationship, tats pretty much to do anyway. So after 2 years and I feel more stable now, I decided to change my guppy tank to salt water tank! 

Well, it's really a hard hard works for me coz I'm not a good student since young and not even have a single memory about chemical knowledge.

Anyway, right after I make the decision, I start working on a lot of research, and facilities to get. As here is a small town there's only a very old aquarium fish shop and their things is full of dust. I got my guppy there as well.

I can't find any helps in there coz after the boss knows I would like to start a salt water tank,  she give lots of bad comments about having a saltwater tank. It's just impossible to maintain a saltwater tank. It's smelly and messy and lots of never end problem. 

I think she is a very honors person. Because she is telling the true tat she feel about saltwater tank details! Haha... 

So at the end I still bought some left over salt water facility she got. And hope from there I can do my best to avoid the bad circumstances tat she told me.

为什么1kg这么难减???

之前我一直有个误区,觉得只要我连续几个晚餐不吃,就能轻松瘦下1kg,但!这个1kg也很容易就反弹回来,只要我去个宴会或应酬晚餐回来!就1餐,可以把我饿了好几天的效果打败。这也是为什么回来后体重节节上升。这么多人结婚!这么多人请客!

好吧,话说回头,还是先了解你一天所需的卡路里量是多少,这些资料网上是一大把,自己找找哈!

我的基础代谢卡路里是1443.33卡1天,3个月要减下7kg的话,我每天的卡路里摄取要降低至801.66卡才能达到定下的目标体重。

才800卡多一点!长期这样人会死的!基本上只能靠吃水果蔬菜过活了!!连饭都不能吃!因为一碗白饭(瓷碗的)都差不多200卡了!

所以,我每天还是该吃的照吃。。不过肉只吃1、2块,饭半碗,然后蔬菜吃很多,就是吃到饱的感觉才停止。我不能饿肚子,因为以前饿坏了,现在一饿就胃疼,所以包包里放了苹果,或者梨,以便饿的时候吃。

这两天我的卡路里摄取量仍然平均达到了1000卡以上,所以只好靠运动消耗掉多余的卡路里。

我这两天的记录:(由于体重都是固定在早上量的,所以如果是星期六的卡路里记录,第二天的星期日才体现体重升或降的效果)


Date Calories Exercise Weight


Sat 1008.6 631 50.7
Sun 1396.6 709 50.1
Mon     50.4 (今天)



只是两天,就发现如果我当天摄取的卡路里不是很多的话,加上运动能下降很多,但如果我摄取多的话,可能要运动得更久些才能消耗掉。

所以,现在正打开我的excel填写,算出我吃了多少卡路里,然后需要运动多久才能消耗掉。。

>-<


减肥开始!



回来才4个月,就胖了4kg!飙到51kg! 难为我之前那么辛苦的维持体重,虽然也不瘦,至少还过得去,现在却成了个小胖子!

马来西亚的食物实在太多炸的和油炒的,我家煮的食物更是比别人家都够味又够多“油”!看我们家都是胖子就知道了。。。

因为年龄也大了,不能像年轻那样纯靠饿肚子来减肥,都把自己给饿出胃病了,所以这次找了很多健康减肥方法,决定了使用现在推广的卡路里减肥法。不过这个真的真的很麻烦,吃个东西也要想想它的卡路里。。 吃多了还得赶紧运动把多余的卡路里消耗掉!

用了1个星期在网上找了好多资料,甚至把公式都抄下来,用非常有限的excel技术做成了个卡路里计算表,正式开始记录我的卡路里减肥过程!

当然,减肥单靠一个人坚持是很难的!所以我把表格分享给同事让她一起参与。我的同事80kg,才20岁!! 实在胖!所以不但我个人要减下7kg,还要监督同事能否成功减下15kg!!

希望一个星期后有好进展!

宠物出国/回国手续攻略 (中国宠物出境,马来西亚宠物入境)

宠物出国/回国手续攻略 (中国宠物出境,马来西亚宠物入境)

终于成功带狗狗回国啦!在网上陆续找了很多资料,多谢各网友的分享。宠物出国是个很繁琐但值得的经历,也是很多人都希望知道的部分。这次的整理是为我这次经历中所获得的全面资料。

出境国/区:中国广州
入境国/区:马来西亚吉隆坡
出国方式:携带出境
适用:个人
乘搭飞机:马来西亚航空


注意事项:
因不同入境国有不同的入境要求,请确认个别入境要求以便及时将文件准备妥当。以下仅适用马来西亚入境使用。

中国出境和马来西亚入境可同时携带多只(我双方面确认了好多次都说可以,而代办出境的公司都说只能带1只,所以目前还是个迷),每只狗需单独配一个航空笼。

宠物以行李超重方式收费,我的例子:10公斤包括航空笼,大约800元人民币左右。

中国宠物入境时需在马来西亚机场隔离7天,1星期的隔离费用加上检查费等为马币150元左右(=300元人民币左右)。

宠物出国要求:需要出境许可证及宠物健康证明

马来西亚宠物入境要求:
需要入境许可证,宠物健康证明(同上),狂犬疫苗书,年龄超过3个月以上

开始来倒数要完成的事项吧~~~

A. 出国30天前后的准备:
1。办理狂犬疫苗书
2。在入境国内,委托当地人或自己办理入境国的入境许可证

a. 出国30天“之前”必须注射狂犬疫苗,并索取疫苗书。最好到政府的防疫站,本子是中英文的,有盖章证明, 而个人和宠物信息请填写中英文。

备注:即使是在正规宠物医院注射,我仍去了政府的防疫站拿了合格证书。所以在此建议朋友们最好直接去政府的防疫站注射最为方便快速。(因本人居住在深圳罗湖区,防疫站是深圳动物检验检疫局)

b. 出国前30天“以内” 必须办理入境国的入境许可证,因为此证件的有效期只有30天。(此部分仅供马来西亚入境使用,其他国家仅供参考,需根据不同国家动物入境要求而准备)

材料所需:狂犬疫苗书复印件(中英文版),填好的入境申请书

可托家人或朋友办理,手续费一只5元马币,1天内可确认。办成后请让代办人将原件寄给您,因为入境时需要提交正本给机场的隔离人员。


B. 出国7天内需办理的事项:
1。申请出境证明书- 广州出入境办事处
2。宠物体检证明- 广州市威健动物医疗保健服务有限公司( 广州指定宠物医院)

准备材料:2寸宠物正面1张,4R宠物正面及侧面各一张,狂犬疫苗书正本及复印件1张,身份证或护照正本及复印件1张。

注 意事项:基本宠物检查费用为800元,但如本身有正规的宠物体内和体外的驱虫药的话,请自备给医生查看和使用。因为驱虫药需在7天内使用。若宠物有其他身 体问题比如皮肤病等,也是将药物带到医院给予检查是否合格即可。否则就需在医院购买药物(那里的药都很很很贵~~)。最后,这个时候您要买好航空笼了哦! 当然提早准备更好!

想一天内搞定出境和体检证书的朋友,建议您一早先去做宠物体检,然后才去出境处办理,不用来回两个地方跑,否则时间不够用呢!


C. 出国当天的准备事项和应对
需带:航空笼,宠物的安眠药,全部的宠物证件和文件!您的护照和您的爱宠!

1。提前3小时抵达机场。由于与主人一起启航,所以宠物连同航空笼是直接当成超重行李来计算运费,马来西亚航空的超重运费价格为78元/kg。离开时注意要索取回被柜台拿去的宠物健康书和入境申请书。当时我出境的时候那个人并没给回我,好在我自己去索取回来。

2。 到达马来西亚机场后,先把自己的行李拿好再去寻找宠物隔离部门(Animal Quarantine Department),部门就在领取行李地方的最右边的角落,很好找的。就算找不到,你的狗狗也会不断吠叫,呼唤你过去!

3。 提交健康证书,狂犬疫苗书,入境许可书等资料给此部门,对方会让您填写同意书等,然后宠物就会被送去隔离区。7天后带着那份同意书和身份证/护照去提取点 提取您的宠物就可以了~~!! 这7天内请保持电话开通状态,因为此期间宠物或文件有任何问题部门人员都会联系您,找不到人就惨了!

提取地点是 Animal Quarantine Station, KL International Airport:在抵达LCCT之前,Formula 1之后 (这是路标信息哈)


最 后,马来西亚的服务很好,基本上有不明白的都可以电话咨询,除了中国区的文件办理他们不清楚之外,其他关于本国的办事及流程都很乐意分享,我的资料都是这 样就拿到的。中国国内部门太多也各不了解,很多时候办了这部分,下一部分的他们就不知道了。。 所以还得自己再找资料。
