Anyone? SMS me at 91002020

Too small to sell at present!

Anyone? Need a few! Thanks SMS me at 91002020

Forgot to mention that I haven't changed water for 3 weeks have only been doing DI topups and dosing Grotech A, B, C, M and iodine

Quick update, have been extremely busy this past week. And too tired! But algae is definitely starting to regress in the main tank. Have turned off my skimmer for 11 days, and last night NO3 and PO4 still at the grand old ZERO! Growing brown slim, turf algae and some hair algae on the scrubber. Made some modifications to the scrubber. widened the slot in the pipe to 3mm as described, that helps with the water flow down the scrubber, minimises side spray as the water is forced out of the slit. Whole mesh is still covered well with good flow. Also cut the mesh into half so I can clean half of the scrubber at a time. One problem I've noticed is the clear acrylic is warping because of the heat, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this won't result in a leak. So far so good...

End of the first week. Got growth of brown layer algae on the submerged portions of the mesh. green hair algae starting to grow at the top of the mesh. Took out the mesh and roughened it up with a hole saw attachment as described. NO3 and PO4 are undetectable in my system despite not having changed water for 1 week (I previously used to change water daily). Algae growth in the DT seems to have slowed down tremendously and the colony of Xenia I have, that was previously flourishing, is now almost completely faded away. SPS extensions are longer, and colours are improving. Even the blue zoas I have are colouring up better than before. I know from past experience that my NO3 and PO4 will spike after 5 days of no water change, and I would have to harvest algae from my rocks every 3-4 days. So the fact that my parameters are good, and that I haven't had to pull off any algae, is to me, testament to the fact that something in my system is working well!

 very nice!

Day 4. Brown starting to appear on submerged part of mesh. Hair algae taking hold on top of mesh. Don't know if it's related, but my Xenia which has been in the same corner and flourishing for the last 2 months is starting to fade. One head is completely gone

More algae starting to seed. Guess the screen is rough enough. Can feel a slime area but not too brown yet. Anyway. These are pictures of my algae infested tank. Lost control after 10 days away and never got it back together again.

Day 2 and I have the screen starting to seed with some green hair algae. Don't see the brown layer algae yet. Flow is good, there's a wall of water rushing off the bottom of the screen. Forgot to roughen up the screen, but if there's some growth already, I guess it isn't so necessary. I'm leaving the lights on 24/7 for now

End of Day 1, no algae seeding noted as yet...Wonder if Jerome is having any growth of algae on his setup yet. Should be about 3 days more mature than mine...

I hope you're kidding but that's the Maxspect LED!

Well done DE no leaks from the setup. Will update with daily photos till end of first week...
