  1. Sea walkers... Those tat u wear a suit n sink to the bottom n walk? So they basically remove the corals and make the sea bed flat for this? Maybe just an excuse to harvest the corals for sale ?
  2. Going summarize the findings. On 20 mar I mixed 20grams of the powder To 1gallon of water n dose it near to the return pumps. Nothing happened. Red sea po4 test kit still is the same color after an hr. Tank inhabitants no abnormal behaviour. Decided to mix the same ratio again and pour content at the filter sock. Next thing is the water in dt turned cloudy. I tested the water after the water became clear again. Sadly, po4 reading is the same. mixed the same ratio again and pour all into the fliter sock again but po4 just don't budge. Read up some more info on this lanthamun chloride as I assume this product is the same chemical. I decided to hook up the dosing tube to the ozone input of my skimmer. After various testing & readup on internet, on 24mar morning, the mixture ratio I changed to 40grams to 1gallon rodi. Dosage is 5ML every hr for 24hr. Tonite, 25mar , I measured my po4 and reading is undetectable. Livestock such as fishes n shrimps n corals s. Far ok. One clam looks normal but another which is sort of facing my return has shifted its position n close a bit. My red chilli coral are opened most of the times nut my orange sponge turns pale. By the way, after I started the experiment with this, I took a gamble to off the pump to my rowa reactor. Will post further updates.
  3. think water not salty enough. Garment also salty to pump money in.
  4. Skimmer prior to dosing 1.5 teaspoon of Baxter. Read tat skimmer will go crazy after addition of lanthamun chloride. If this Baxter powder is lanthamuncl, then it should have same reaction.
  5. ya. will turn down my flow for biopellets reactor. need to suck out the cyano.
  6. After doubling biopellets quantity po4 measurement got no diff but more cyano appears. The red sea reading stays the same color with 800ml of rowa and 1000g of biopellets. The left is the color of the test n for the right, the color disc has been adjusted to 0ppm. Decide to test this product. Most likely is lanthamun chloride. Will need go observe how the livestock react to this.
  7. oh. Thnks bro. Thought pull out liao. There it is.
  8. the return pump is waveline dc pump?
  9. the lr u bought from cf? Got nice coralline algae. Ai led all blue?
  10. I agree. I rather buy from lfs than spending the same amount of $ for a tiny inch frag.
  11. Tat period is School holidays. Parking not easy to find. Wonder the entrance fee will go up.
  12. ya. Biopellets is good for producing bacteria for filter feeders. Can't understand is dosing vodka can get po4 to zero. I can only guess if using biopellets, then one cannot use other nitrate removal so as to have nitrate present to facilitate the biopellets to do its job. Normally nitrate removal medium is carbon n carbon makes yr water sparkle. The dilemma.... Gonna give last shot on biopellets. Doubling the quantity n without other chemical filtration.
  13. On refugium lighting The par38 bulbs bought from sim lim tower cannot be turned on for more than 10hrs. So far all blown due to heat. Had tried UP aqua Z led all white fixture for refugium growing cheato. Strange is always grown cyano. Passed my aqua Z to my brother planted tank and bought the odyssey 18w, 2blue 4 white clip on led. And never grow cyano. On 2 part additives Using ESV and the ratio is 35ml Ca to 50ml Kh. Had bought some food grade kh powder from Madpetz and dissolving 120grams of kh powder into 4kg of ESV kh. Hope I can equal the kh & ca dosing amount. If succeed, will try to do the same for Ca. Hoping tat it will prolong the 2 part usage, reduce frequency of buying 2 part and yet have the vital minerals added to the tank. On nutrient exportation Estimated water volume of 150gals, 9 anthias, a algae blenny, starry blenny, possum wrasse, leopard wrasse, orange fire fish, 2xroyal gamma, 2 xclownfishes, 2xjapanese angelfish. Phosphate removal is unachievable with biopellets and cheato combo. Phosphate stable between 0.08 and next higher range. So question is should I double the biopellets volume( right now using FR35 full capacity ) to see if phosphate will go down or using po4 media. Quite disheartened with biopellets so Tried rowa 200ml but po4 dun budge. Tried 800ml then po4 dropped Between 0.03 and higher range. Immediately can see positive response from my remaining few surviving sps.
  14. the Auntie shop in front of ah Beng at pasir ris. The Auntie got sell 2nd hand chillers
  15. Well if u r com in on a weekend, I can show u around.
  16. I think for marine, pple seldom use canister filter cause overtime become nitrate bed. But I guess since u got it no harm trying out. Measure the phos n nitrate at intervals and gauge how long it can last. If the levels dun reduce then u can go buy the fr.
  17. elly tran ha is a coral or fish? Mermaid?
  18. kamoer sold by madpetz. heard it is same as bubble magus. Previously no such issue. After 1yr...
  19. Recently observe this symptom in all my 3 channels.<br />Air bubbles in the intake and outlet silicon lines.<br />Does anyone encounter this n Anyway to solve it?<br />I tried draining out the fluid n manually start manual fill of the lines n it work fine. But After few days, issue comes bck.<br /><br />
