  1. No problem, maybe u can read up more on setup and cycling from this forum, internet or from other reef keeping books.
  2. Do not on the lights first. Consider yesterday as the first day of cycling. Cycling will takes at least 2-4weeks. U can throw in market prawn to speed up process and in between do some small scale water changes. U can cont'd dosing yours bacteria additives.
  3. Whether u use sponge or wool, should be no problem since yours is BB. I juz find sponge absorbed more water thus harder to clean glass surface when underwater.
  4. If u have any old atm, credit card or any acrylic made card also can.
  5. The pharos led comes with its own mounting kit & stand?
  6. For me, I juz cut a small piece of filter wool to wipe the glass surface. Other than that magnet glass cleaner.
  7. Better to use if possible, else u can judge from the increase growth in nuisance algae. Clean up crew such as snails, seahare, urchin etc
  8. Think ur tank good enuff compared to mine. Maybe must get some scaping tips from all the experts here.
  9. Eh... I dunno why but my valve already at its maximum. Any other adjustment will increase foaming & water level inside chimney and hv to maintain cup cleaning more frequent to prevent overflowing of skimmate. Dun think my skimmer pump inlet is adjustable. That's why I elevate my skimmer by putting a mesh sponge below.
  10. Have u try rowaphos or other brands po4 absorber? Regular WC and adding more CUC also helps.
  11. Ok, I used to have this problem using the cheap china brand skimmer, so dunno if there's anything wrong. Lol, now still using china brand lah but review is that BM ones shd be better. Just another question, could it also be my skimmer is undersized cos bro straydum did mentioned earlier in my thread?
  12. A bit bo liao here, juz now part of my tank was shown on tv becos the tv crew came to interview my wife. Anyone watching news on tv would be able to catch a glimpse of my tank... Ha ha.....
  13. Ya, I suspected that might be one of the problem but due to my sump space and the height (size) of my skimmer, it's a bit difficult. Either I have to upgrade my skimmer or try to elevate it higher.
  14. Glad u love it. Juz a little problem supersun nowadays, some baby heads dying. Hope it dun affect the others,
  15. I juz feel that the bubbles foamed at the cup seems to be a bit inconsistent. But I couldn't find any blockage from the skimmer. I need to check the no3 level then. Need to get a accurate test kit 1st. Thanks for your advice.
  16. Dosen't seem to be able to skim out any dark dirty organic waste. Anyone knows if there anything causing the skimmer to be like this? Or there's actually nothi ng wrong?
  17. As promised, pic of skimmer, is there a problem with this? Closed up view,
