I have the dolphin 790. You want to try? Haha

Haha, maybe need to meet him in a bank instead, can apply for loan on the spot, =p Where did he get his gems from?

The mansion belonging to sir cedricang? Haha

where to get high grade sps?

where to get high grade lps over here?

me too

please send photos, thanks

what chiller are you using? what is the usual temperature? what is the room temperature? is it always on? how much is the iceprobe? what are the brands of the nano chillers? I went there recently and saw only dolphin tem.

yup, testing took me more than 15 minutes, haha. thanks bro for the sound advice. wouldn't 12 dKH be burning some SPS? My tank is actually recovering, surprisingly. However, there's a lot of brown film on the walls which I am not sure if it is just brown biofilm, diatoms or dinos. I am not aiming for the best tank, I am aiming for a tiny tank where I can keep just about anything I can place in. Going for LNS, and with this size, I am threading on thin lines, hence the numerous numbers. My Mg and Ca seems a little too high. Water change did nothing much to lower the values, guess I just have to wait for it to drop while keeping dKH and pH in check. The green mushrooms and anemone seems to be quite fine, with a small mushroom actually growing rapidly in size. Clam is recovering well, with reducing white patches size, colour seems to be a little brighter (that is maybe my illusion I am slowly placing the light nearer to the tank), have not check the shell edge as it responds too rapidly (closing fast and opening fast as well) for me to handle it with minimal stress (to me and the clam). Hammer and frog seems to be shrinking and expanding regularly. I have been dosing bacteria, carbon source and seachem reef buffer to slowly push the pH and dKH up. As of yesterday, pH was 7.89. Upgraded my DIY skimmer to IQ5 skimmer with sander size2 limewood. Performance seems good. I can really see foams that just would'nt break up, even after I switched off the skimmer. Feeding resumed with Reef nutrition's oyster feast, roti feast, phyto feast and live tigger feast.

you meant the one with the white cap?

amazing tank

If i am not wrong, no more. Any other places?

Where can I get ZeoBac and Ultra Bio?

performed a 50% water change as corals are still not reacting happily. waiting for parameters to stabilise before testing (>12 hours). no feeding or dosing today.

that's a great idea. I am still wondering what chemical(s) is/are added by the glue. Maybe acetic acid from the curing of superglue? the pH doesn't seem high.

Salifert PO4 Profi Test Exp: 10-2014 D-D H20cean Mg, Ca & KH Exp 0114 Martin Instruments pH56 (calibrated with 7.00 and 10.00 pinpoint calibration fluids) pH - 7.52 @ 31.4 degree celcius; holding time 45 seconds till stable reading Alkalinity - 3.00; dKH - 8.4 Ca - 490ppm Mg - 1800ppm Phosphate - 0.1ppm (10ml sample)

preis and bsi

a small overflow?

thanks. which farm carries that? currently using dead pods. what are the cost for live pods?

ammonia <0.25ppm according to salifert and <0.02ppm according to seachem ammonia alert. nitrate at 0.2ppm.

what do you suspect? it was peaking around the rocks and the tank before I started using the glue? I am not saying it's the glue fault. Most probably it's my hindsight. Most people can safely place the glue almost immediately into the tank as they have buffer from the huge volume of water. I should have rinsed the glued pieces a few times before introducing back into the tank.

Why so? Added carbon without replacing old ones. Old ones will be removed in 1 week. Epoxy, superglue and tank water will be sent for microtox test.

attached most corals to ceramic disk with epoxy and superglue. fish all suddenly died after 2 hours. nitrate remains at 0.1ppm

where did you get all the small rocks from?

that's your mobile mini skimmers, haha. bro, you are good in scaping in small tanks. mind teaching me for my mini tank?
