Good food must stock up for raining days

run in warm water, or if you dare hot water for 10mins.

Ocean planet also selling the same zeovit stuffs by korallen zucht. The same one we all using now

My coraline still growing like mad I am considering getting another urchin to ease the load off the current one. You may also try lowering your kh to ard 7-8 and that will help to reduce the growth of the coraline.

Ocean Planet.

Who's "Tan Chee Meng" ?

both sold! to me of course..... okie collect all together

I agree with alfa, if you have a QT then please Quarantine the AT properly before introduction. A bit more effort now gives you much more pleasure later

Very high flow too, make sure your tank can take the high flow.

Due to some reasons I decided to put off the sales for this unit earlier on. But now letting go again. As above, asking for $950 with Iwaki MX70. Selling as already upgraded to another skimmer Brand new price when I bought it was $1600 and now maker increased the price to $1800 You will get the free 25mm hose and Tee off to fire the two becketts which cost another $100+ Brand new price of $1600 refers to the skimmer alone. The MX70 is another $540 so total is about $2100 so you save about $1200. Now the maker renamed it as SK5200, more details regarding this kick ###### skimmer can refer to this URL for photo etc or can arrange to come see the skimmer for yourself. http://www.barraquatic.com/sskimmers.htm Main Chamber 6" diameter and total 48" tall. Avaliable immediately. Interested please PM me

My guess is skip the freshwater dip as that will stress the fish most. Since it is FOWLR then you maybe do the same like what I did, observe the AT for spots on it's body. If no spots then introduce it into your FOWLR tank. If white spot outbreak then apply hyposalinity directly. This is what I am doing currently.

You can raise the skimmer higher and use a bigger diameter return pipe. Use a Tee at the outlet just before the to prevent siphoning effect.

Marine pets is in katong oden.

Need to change to high output ballast.

Yes true union but not clear swing type.

The tallest point of the piping for my skimmer is same height as my tank which works out to be 28" (my stand) + 30" (my tank 2.5ft tall) = 58" = 4.8ft. Need to consider the elbow and horizonal piping too

Have you fired up this skimmer yet?

Salinity will slowly increase. End up the fish will perish

You not going to quarantine the AT for 6 weeks before adding in? For my FOWLR I just dump the fish in if I don't see any spots but I could apply hyposalinity easily as there are on inverts/corals in the tank.

I agree too early to tell the full effects of zeovit. I am resisting the urge to use rowaphos or any other methods to reduce the PO4. Slowly dose zeostart and let the bacterial do their work. For those that wants results overnight then zeovit is not for them Despite the high PO4 reading, there is no algae outbreak, the PO4 test kit only test for inorganic PO4. The fuel for algae are organic PO4 and my guess is that the organic PO4 level in my reef is still very low. This means that the zeovit system is currently purging out those pooled nutrients in my reef.

Here's my PO4 readings. Problem with high PO4 readings as they were released from the DSB, my sponge used for killing the micro bubbles released very black water when I wash them once a week, I eventually switched to washing once every 3 days. After almost one month of hard work I only need to wash once a week during water changes and the color is very light brown water only. I guess the nutrients levels are much lower now. My pair of clownfish also spawn and they really mess up the DSB which also released all those wasted accumulated in it. The high PO4 reading might also be due to insufficient amount of zeostart that was dosed. Was only dosing 2ml/once every 2 days previously. Now I switched to 4ml daily. The problem was using salifert test kit, I can't really tell if PO4 readings are dropping so eventually I bite the bullet and got a hanna PO4 meter. With this I can see the PO4 reading and adjust the dosing for the zeostart. Date: Zeostart dose PO4 reading with PO4 meter 30/11/04 4 ml 0.22ppm 1/12/04 4 ml 2/12/04 5 ml 0.19ppm 3/12/04 5 ml 0.17ppm 4/12/04 5 ml 5/12/04 5 ml 0.17ppm 6/12/04 5 ml 0.15ppm 7/12/04 6 ml 0.15ppm 8/12/04 9/12/04 0.13ppm 10/12/04 11/12/04 4 ml 12/12/04 5 ml 0.10ppm 13/12/04 3 ml 0.11ppm No dose of zeostart from 8/12 to 10/12 due to some acros showing thinning of tips. So far looking pretty good and on the right track. Hope to achieve stage 3 end in 1-2 month's time. Already started zeovit for 3 months already

How's your NO3 and PO4 reading now and what's your zeostart amount you are dosing and how frequently? I guess new tank really so much easier to drop the nutrients as there's no pooled nutrients especially for my case all stuck in the DSB Wow $10, very good deal

wow very power ! I noticed that the polyps on my SPS extends more than what they were 1-2 months ago. I think the zeovit system has lowered the nutrients levels.

Doesn't look like whitespot. Seems like malnutrition. What have you been feeding your blue tang?

Iwaki MX100 don't draw 240W, 240W is for 0 head so it draws slightly lesser depending on the actual head pressure. Alan I tot your BK 300 internal draws only 58W ?
