this article explains it. basically about 20% of total DOC in ur tank. and this article could be helpful for u : http://tunzeusa.com/two-protein-skimmers-in-one-system-not-if-you-can-avoid-it/

LOL. I really laugh out loud when I saw kaki washer. Kalwasser is pickle lime. it delivers equal calcium and alkalinity when dosed. usually used thru top off water.

but to answer ur qtn but not to encourage you, here's a tank :

buy any fish from here : sure won't buy anymore. in fact will sell ur other fishes to take care of whatever fish u buy.

thats true. thanks for the pointer. too tempting to keep tinkering and trying to reach the magical zero readings. im not dosing two part. using kalk in top off. so far can keep up with ca/kh uptake cause not too many corals in my tank. the tabling acro actually just RTN last night as u mentioned about tinkering and harder to keep parameters in check. thanks for the advices.

Yep skimmer. Actually no sponge at the output. I didnt even think about that actually. I am already changing 50% water every week considering the small water volume. I bought the skimmer to see if nutrients can drive down further and vinegar dose also.

http://reef.diesyst.com/chemcalc/chemcalc.html for ur calculation. they have TLF two part for u to calculate.

skimz salt is a little low on calcium thus when u do a water change, your calcium lvls could drop. if not, just add a little bit more Part A. Dosing kalk will bring both ur Ca and Kh up simultaneously.

I dont mean to put a damper on TS thread but red sea cleaner when they reach adulthood will become obligate sps eater just for anybody's info. anyways hope u find a buyer.

After adding new toy, microbubbles galore.

Poison poison! I was watching this video and also kena poisoned before deciding on this tank. But I abit chasing the minimalist look leh. So this one a little packed. But still damn nice!

When I came back and saw all corals gone, I emptied the tank and dumped it at the recycling bin. Only in Nov I started getting itchy again since my fowlr is on autopilot, so getting bored. Hmm thanks for the light suggestion. My par38 is 60 degrees lens, 4 warm white, 4 cool white and 4 blue. Another full spectrum one I put one side first. Will install soon enough and see how it goes.

Thanks bro. That was about 6-7 months back so now better liao. Now also sick. Kena poison see all the sps hahaha.

Oh anyways bro. I know u hv a nice pico/nano tank as well. Any suggestions for lighting not. Im using 2x par38 but now on one first to acclimatise corals to the light.

I think in my past posts in this thread I explained. Kena severe appendicitis, 1 week hospitalised. No ATO. Pump run dry, salinity shoot up. All corals up lorry. Stomach pain first, come back heart pain. Thanks for dropping by. Its a simple setup.

Dumping pics so that can trace growth.

Have u tried sgbros?

those looking for attractively priced OZ corals, AC has many many beautiful pieces to cater for every taste. open till 6pm today.

hi bro, it was really nice chatting with you just now. thanks for the tips and awesome frags. will see you again and this time I am paying hahaha. ups ups and away.

Coral Reef or Aquarium Artist is your best bet. Cheaper options will be Kwong Ling at Kelantan Lane or Atlantic Glass beside GO.

3ft tank, BM Curve 7. 10 fishes, 1 Large Emperor, 7 smaller angels and 2 chromis. with rgds to copper and refugium, copper will most likely kill ur macroalgae and whatever good things in ur refugium. plus if u have sand, it will absorb the copper to some extent.

does ur emperor has like this weird discolouration? try a 100% WC if the emperor is impt to you.

+1 to this. anws look at the skimmate and my filter sock after one week for my fowlr. oversized skimmer is really a must. sorry didnt rotate the pics.
