  9. I just started a tank, After reading through about sump tank I am a bit confused on what to put in the sump tank My sump design is 1st compartment: wool & bio home 2nd : skimmer and chiller pump 3rd : refugim 4th : return pump to tank Is coral chip necessary as just bought 10kg today, some say is maintain stable Ph some say is nitrate factory is carbon needed? If it is needed for coral and carbon where should it be placed? Your advise is appreciated

  11. Hi, currently using 1 set of G2 110W on my 2 ft , by end month upgrade my tank to 4x2x2 . What is the recommendation for 4x2x2, keeping LPS and some elegance coral. 1) for example, what watts and how many set? 2) how far from water level? other then Maxspect what are other LED recommendation?
  12. Hi, I am going to get a 4x2x2 tank in a few weeks time, currently I have a maxspect G2 110W for my 2ft, Should I get one more maxspect togther with my old maxspect for my 4ft tank? So which is better I do a few search and there are different view on lighting Some say LED last longer , cooler but cannot be sufficient for SPS Some say Mh is better for SPS I am not going for SPS at the moment but maybe someday. I will prefer for LED as it is cooler and make the chiller work lesser, my budget is $1300. But for my two year using LED maxsepct, it have blown 2 time and they have replace for me, 2ndly I also realise more green algae on glass or is it the water quality? Any way hope bros here can help me in deciding which one should I go as I do not wish to upgrade lighting again and again Thanks

  22. Thanks try do a WC last nite see any improvement, bt this coral have been with me for a month and there is no issue, I am wondering what is the cause, is it I just add a fiter sock to the overflow to my sump? and change the activated carbon? as my activated carbon is 2 month already. so replace with new carbon and add a filter sock to my sump. This may be the cause?
