Alkalinity, ph, Ca are the 3 basic parameters you need to monitor. Unfortunately there isn't any single equipment able to tell you all the values at once. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an reflectometer which I find it very hard to use because I need to peep into the small hole and try to locate the number. Some how the target is usually 1.025 and its 3 decimal places. Is it me only or other also facing this issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

setting up using a canister filter
argonmt replied to Ironlung02's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Just use any media provided in the canister because the purpose is to increase the bacteria colony. You will ultimately rely on your hang over skimmer to remove majority of the waste Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
May be your skimmer is unable to pull out the waste. Try to get a drier waste in the skimmer so that you can extend the interval between cleaning. One thing that may cause high level of nitrate is overfeeding. That doesn't mean you have left over food. But it just mean your fishes or cleanup crews poo a lot. Try cutting down on feeding n see situation improve or not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In need for help in tank cycling
argonmt replied to Ironlung02's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
If you happen to disturb the sand, it should take a while to go back to normal if your cycle is correct because the bac will convert the fresh ammonia into the less harmful nitrate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I guess if you set your temperature to 26 and kick on at 27, you may be seeing faster cooling and lesser kick in time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't see any issue with your chiller. Probably your ambient is high which cos the water to heat up really fast from 25 to 26. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Crystal Pro DI Filter Attachment
argonmt replied to Lenny's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Di filter is more straight forward. Just not too fast flow rate to let the resin n your water has sufficient contact to increase the efficacy. Given your tap water is 110 tds, I think your resin will deplete pretty soon. Long term wise a rodi is better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
You just need time n patient for the right bac to colonize. As someone mention a good skimmer is a must Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Measure is always recommend but not mandatory otherwise Its not a hobby rather than a job. Imo keep a closed eye on how the live stock behave is more important. But sometime also depends on the species you have. If you invested a very pricey species, you have to be more careful which translate measure and monitor closely at the same time.

Heat given off from UV steriliser
argonmt replied to chocolate98's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Simple way to gauge to guess how hot is your uv is look at the watt. imho, if less than 50, should be manageable by the chiller. Unless you have an under rated chiller which is unable to cool down fast enough -

Hang one is will do. If can get tunze.

If possible get a higher hp chiller which is able to drop the temp to sub 27 in shortest time. If you don't plan to invest much can consider a 2nd hand chiller.
