The infamous dinoflagellates. Had them on an outbreak when a fish died unnoticed and stuck under a rock to rot. Been there had that. Manual siphoning and partial water change will help. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

For this kind of tank to transport roughly how much will it cost? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

No problem. I hope this info benefits reefers out there who runs into the same issue and save buyers and sellers from getting into disputes unless necessary. Its doing its job so far and i dont know if there will be any changes to the features of poly-filter as advertised and promised due to the discoloration. Only time will tell and lets see if anything leaches out or expires faster than if it was white. If no further updates means everything is okay. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I think its safe. Received an email from poly-bio. On Friday, August 4, 2017, wrote: In a message dated 8/3/2017 2:04:31 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, albertjosecarlos@gmail.com writes: I have recently bought a pack of poly filter from a local fish store and it was yellow in color straight out from the pack. My I have attched the photo in this email. Is it still safe to Use? The discolored Poly-Filter ® was exposed to excessive heat during storage. This most likely did not occur in the pet store (unless they have an outside storage container). We mark every master case of Poly-Filter ® with a red top stencil: heat sensitive do not store above 90 F. Every summer we receive emails from aquarists that have purchased discolored Poly-Filters. In order to combat this problem, we have notified all our distributors that Poly-Filter must be stored in a temperature controlled area. In addition, we increase Poly-Filter's moisture content during summer months. Yet nothing appears to stop the problem because warehouse workers either do not care about warnings or are simply illiterate. As a point of information: we keep samples from every Poly-Filter ® production batch and every products manufactured twelve years ago only shows slight yellowing when stored below 80 F. Is your discolored Poly-Filter ® safe to use? By the color of your picture the answer is most likely yes. Did the Poly-Filter ® have a strong ammonia, dead fishy odor ? If the answer is no then it is only aesthetically bad looking but will fully function. Just rinse it well in filtered water, distilled water or R/O water before use. However, if the Poly-Filter ® had the strong bad smell mentioned above -- it is severely heat damaged and must be discarded. Send us another email with your name and address we will replace it.

Exactly what I thought. The first one that i bought was white. This yellowed pad that came out of the bag smelled the same as that first one i had and im thinking if the effects would still be the same. Alright, not taking my chances of losing a refund or an exchange. This pad doesn't come cheap and i dont want to risk losing livestock and money. I shall not use it then. Ive dropped off an email to the shop owner. Hope i can get this sorted out and exchanged for another pad. I love and trust this staff. Ive used it on my nano reef and it managed to keep my water almost pristine for weeks. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Much respect. Its a hobby and i hope more hobbyist would learn to realize that its more than just keeping saltwater tanks. Its about learning and sharing knowledge to help each other out to achieve beautiful aquarium that we all are into this hobby in the first place. I am still new to the saltwater hobby as ive been here for less than a year and i am glad to have met people who are very passionate about helping others ride on the hobby. Its rather disappointing when people get free or cheap stuff from hobbyist only to see them being resold when it could go to other hobbyist who needs it more.

Do you get lots of detritus from time to time? My tank has very little fish in it but the detritus seemed to build up from out of nowhere Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Saw the tank in person. Really spectacular. It's like a bonsai version of a really huge reef. An eye for detail and Very nicely done up. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

And save u the headache trying to figure out why is there dinoflagellates and algae. Been there. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Nice one bro. I'm going to try your method on the pico tank live rocks once I move it to the nano tank. It's got tons of algae. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

God bless bro Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I realised that pico is simply one tight space and I planned on upgrading to a one feet tank. Do u need to keep the water cooled? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
