Top up with fresh water only lor.. if top up with salt water,ur water'll hv VERY high salinity because when water evaporate,the salt remains in the tank.. and about that lil batang thing that hv hair,is very small one ar ? Could be a tube worm,BKL also have a lot ma..

yeah basicaly is ok.

but kindly take the temperature and water refill not just like this.
we have to keep the enviroment of tank stable.
thats mean tank temperature don't be change fast and big .
SG also.
for small tank those factor will change faster than big tank ,
so water refill better use similar temperature of water to refill. and small amount, to prevent temperature and S.G change .
water change also the same

good luck. wish u / girl friend / fish are happy

for me, i think 1 gallon tank with 25% water change is too much! correct me if im wrong! i think this may coz the water unstable...

they r "aiptasia anemone".
this is pest. remove it as soon as posible. this anemone will go around ur tank and sting all ur coral near by. and no good for fish oso. they r not beautiful at all. so remove it.
like the link u post, peppershrimp or copperband fish.
but copperband is not recommend, coz they r difficult to take care. or u can have some technic which is tell by all the "si fu" here (check the past forum)!

good luck!

I cant read chinese .. sorry .. because my mom didnt send me to chinese school.. haha..

don't ever try to get any kind of anemone.this is because their life span is very short and prone to die.like mine,i have bought several kinds of anemone 4 times and all of them die in a couple of months.i have tried feeding them with live brine shrimp weekly,the water parameter is very clean,lighting is bright also they still can't survived.these invertebrates are not suitable for aquarium.they should be go back

to ocean.
