My 2 okinawas chilling under the monti getting some shade from the sun. They look super cool, but 1 thing i realise after adding them in.. i do not see so much of PE on my sps anymore. Is it because of them? Should i remove them or can they stay ?

What are the differences you see with your previous system and triton?

Pipes came together as a set or you diy?

How long did it take you to do your cable management? Any extra holes needed?

Will try it out this weekend. Thanks bro!

Is this your settings?

Will try it out. Thanks!

I'm using the preset ab+ and didn't change anything and copied the exact same thing into my hydra settings. Reducing the reds is for algae growth or po4?

24 on the radions and hydras.

I'm alr running a fr with rowa phos. But my po4 readings are not stable, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. Using a hanna checker to check. Is it because my no3 readings are undetectable?

Just test my parameters and results as below Mag: 1350 Cal : 420 KH : 7.0 PO4 : 0.025 How do i lower my PO4?

Too much cleaning up around the house after rescaping. Will probably not rescape anytime soon. Next rescape will be done when I upgrade!

Got to agree with you. Credit should be given to her!

Not to forget, it's better to Google ideas of how you want your scape to be first. I did mine last minute without planning, and got very lost about 10 mins into rescaping. I was lucky my girlfriend helped me out and saved the day! Otherwise I believe it would have been longer then just 2 hours!

Fortunately this time round I had no corals that died on me, only lost of colours. My rocks were out of water for around 2 hours. That probably was one of the factors why my tank went through another cycle. I did a larger then usual water change(almost 3 times as much) and complemented it with half a bottle of fritz live bacteria.

Thanks for the compliments!

Just sharing my ssc before a kh swing in my tank , it was a pretty bitch until recently before i rescape, my tank went through a kh swing where kh dropped as low as 4.5 dkh. Now its a pale strawberry with stn from the base. It's recovering really slowly at the moment. *Fingers crossed* Learnt it the hard way to do weekly testing. Guys, will it ever heal to like before ?

Yes, unfortunately my tank is against the wall, so I'm not able to scrap away corolite.

Hiyo people! I am in this hobby for more than 1 year, have always been a silent viewer to learn from the rest of the peeps here. I have a 4X 2 X 2 ft. I have rescaped my tank on some time end of Jan 2017 and basically went through a mini cycle so im now facing the algae issue again. With my new scape, i think it might be a good time to start logging my activities and progress of my tank while trying to combat the algae issue. Well, here we go.

Any reviews on the Bacto balls yet?

Using 2 blue pop in my frag tank. Looking good so far!

Try doing a freshwater dip. Somehow it solves my friends pinch mantle.

I usually inspect the bottom of the clams for snails and do a freshwater dip and scrub the shell before putting it into my display tank.
