That was a simple assumption only. I also hope it works as I thought. Dose 40ml = +90 (after full 24hrs), so if times 4 days should hit 900+360. Aga aga lah. Well I dosed once more yday, if today's readin = 990+90(1080), then I guess it should be quite accurate.
-
Currently unknown. Results will only be out tonight.

Did another measurement of Mg earlier, it went up to 990 (+90). This is with a dose of 40ml on 75G tank. (+15G sump). Quite power. I prepared abt 226ml (8oz) of the stock solution with only 4 teaspoon of brightwell aquatics Mg powder. At this rate, should be able to boost mg up to 1300 by Thursday. Good stuff.
-
thanks bro. Exactly what I was looking for! Oh yes. Anyone knows what happens if I use expired test kits? Haha. One of my kit, I think expires in dec09.
-
bro. I'm now on weekly water change. But I guess it's those bleaching corals and sps that are using up the magnesium at higher quantity than what the salt contains.
-
Thanks Jacky and onizuka(nice meeting u yday bro). I'm using a powdered form of magnesium. Need to create stock solution and dose no more than 40ml/day. Will do a test tonight and see how. Will be boosting cal up to 450 too. Kh is also another key thing, but I do dose weekly just not measured. (which is dangerous)
-
Haha. Yes sir. I like yours!!! Seems like that's the way forward for me. btw, haven't downloaded the pix yet. Will share them later this week. Now using iPhone to surf, cannot upload pix leh. Sigh, wish we can have a choice of using broadband version on iPhone.

My NEW! 3ft x 2 ft x 2ft Reef Aquarium

once I fix the ca and mg problem. i'm going to be upgrading some equipments to ensure parameters are stabilized. Do share the status of the chilli pepper k? Maybe I can get a frag from you when it grows. -
I've made up my mind, no more upgrading to 4footer. Will make the best of this 2.5' instead. Did a parameter testing, realised calcium and mag level are too low. Ca:400 Mg:900 kh: not measured, lost the salifert instructions!!! Anyone knows where I print one? Po4: 0.25 no3: no measured, no test kit. Removed sorb4 from FR, replaced that with biopellets instead. Will share results in 2 to 3 weeks. Due to low mg levels, had to supplement magnesium level daily now. Let's hope it pushes up to 1300 soon. That's probably the reason why coraline algae is not growing in the tank. Boosting of calcium also needed, but not as bad as mg.

I like the chilli pepper!!! Nice. -
Woah... peace: do u know how i can get some of these?? nice stuff, especially the one that has luminous skirting (so putting in shady area is better for them huh)....
-
alotofgems!!! nice tank jacky... hope to see it in person one day, i'll bring some frags over to xchange too. (zoas i mean... or do u prefer rics??)
-
so much for being 'grounded'. managed to steal time and even can visit iwarna twice! moss: no pix yet, spent too much time babysitting + rearranging my tank. Just managed to complete around 12mn (lights off). Jacky: CoralRX is really NO JOKE! power stuff! im already thinking whether i should tear down my tank and restart everything with CoralRX first (live rocks included). but i guess that's simply too much work. Aside to bro V(Tec) and Hotsoup: i think must let the SPS stabilise first... i will take a pix tomorrow and share with you guys, then you see if u'r keen.
-
hokay. I bought a lot of frag plugs today. Should have some to spare. But my first time hor. So still in trial and error stage.
-
bro... i bought 3 colonies earlier today. let me know if u'r keen to share? but i dun have tools to frag SPS, if u have, can bring along too. will share pix later...
-
the simplest way to split the rock will be to use a chisel (or screw driver or small long flat device) + hammer. always work for me. but if you want to de-skin the fella, then u'll need a good sharp scapel.
-
I have the tools!! But a pity u r in the west. I'm on my way to iwarna now. Gimme a buzz if u need anything.
-
yup. I should be going there early morning. I just bought a lime green acro last week. Seems to be doing well. If I see anymore nice stuff, will let u know. Pm me ur mobile bro??
-
thanks guys for the compliment, just lucky to find them... now hoping they will propogate fast. just realised i can actually use the gallery to post pictures too, instead of the thread itself... maybe i will post there instead.

hey bro... nice to meet all of you earlier. we should try to do more lunch often. AT, can only happen if i get a 4 footer, else, impossible. hey desi/ketchup, im still half-hearted. One moment die die wanna do, another moment give up the idea. You two, aiming at the rics only... how can like this! anyway, i will take a FTS first before handing over my keys to yuo guys!!! just so i know if corals go missing. Yes yes, we must slowly poison them!!! anyway, is there anything u'r looking for? i may just be able to do some shopping in the morning. no lah.. haha... what heirloom? just to keep track only lah. hopefully when he grows up, and is also interested in reefing. Of coz, i believe SRC will still be around!
-
so nice... shopping on a friday night. how abt showing pix of the new purchases? got chance to share frags frags??
-
I may just drop by pasir ris in the morning. Sending car for servicing, needs 3hrs. So in the mean time.... Hehe. Upgrading ah. Now not too sure. I think better to be prudent. Maybe play with sps and see how. Hehe.
