Hi@Neutral any updates? Nvr think abt this idea. Nice project

Nice.. thank you for posting this.. 👍👍 was abt to use the idea like in youtube.. seems this is more easier..

Please help.me to ID what is this thing. This thing attached to only 2 LR.. other rocks are fine. Im not sure this is detrius caught of slime or what. Not sure if it will spread to other rocks.

How is your 6mth tank? Care to share?

Yes.. to breakdown nitrate is what of us trying to do.. i would love to have denitrifying bacteria.. but it would take atlesst 6 mth i heard to cultivate them.. i stacked some marine pure block hoping they would help to lower nitrate..the fastest way is Wc.. or carbon dosing.. took me another 1mths for my nitrate to reach almost

Bro.. relax.. this hobby is all about patience.. there is no instant result.. typically cycle stage will take about more than a month to complete and stabilize.. do not rush.. things might crash.. Throw small chunk of prawn.. nature will take its place to spike ur ammonia>nitrite> nitrate..

Just wait for another 2 days and test again.. nitrate should be detactable..

All newbie intro will be "i have been keeping freshwater tank/planted tank for many years" including me too.. haha 😂 You go to irwana or along p.ris farmway and find good condition 2nd hand tank too

Ok thank you.. guess im going to do major wc once and for all since no LS, easier to be done now than wait for problem to come

Ok noted. Thanks.. im thinking somethinf like santa monica filtration

Hi, I would like to know which is recommended, My current tank is cycled with tap water coming to a mth.. so now is do i need to do major WC? Like 50% or i need more to bring my nitrate down as there is no LS currently. Or its useless, just wc at 10% will do with NSW/saltmix to rapidly remove the nitrate/phos

Ok thanks for pointing 80% water change.. i tot its normal for huge wc to remove nitrate.. Wanted to use tap water+ conditioner for salt mix.. any bros here have any objection?

Definitely it help. Im still on planning stage to minimize water disturbancy and save some money. May i know what kind of reactor did you add? Didnot know reactor is needed that fast..

Ok noted. You are right. Which farm sells nsw around north side? Too bad madpetz dont bring nsw anymore

Hmm.. ok thank you. So i can assume its just each own preference.. [emoji1]

Hi, Should I start my tank with NSW or Saltmix for now? My plan was to use salt mix to kick start the nitrogen cycle. Once everything complete, i will do major wc like 80% to be replace with NSW. I felt that buying nsw will be a waste because i know i will be changing that water anyway. Any advice?

Nicely scaped.. guess i can still keep my planted tank passion in marine ecology..hehe thanks for posting and gave me idea

meaning if im getting 100.. mean its 10?

I have one.. you may have it.. no longer using.. jurong/lakeside area

Thank you for the documenting your Slice of Nature..being a newbie in this marine hobby, guess i need more and much much more read up. Its more complex than I thought it has always been.

Ada section melayu rupanya.. dah berbulan2 camping ni site baru harini jumpa ni.. Salam everyone.. still new dalam bidang reefing. Berapa ramai member melayu sini?

Service yard or if you dont mind, beside tank

Thats cool @kenyee have been keeping fw tank frm panted to shrimp to predatory, had never check my water parmeter. Lol but yes cant emphasize more on wc. I have yet to purchase sump but planning to convert my 2ft tank and diy into sump tank for my 4ft main tank. So before I start, im checking out first..heehe. I have a skimmer, but its medium size.. will be scrolling and camping at the pasar/bazar section for better deal.
