You can consider using nopox or other forms of carbon dosing to help control nutrients which will result in less algae. Also, your filter floss is quite dirty, should replace. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Nitrate was 20 ppm before nitraguard so it hasn’t been effective. Giving it another shot by burying the nitraguard deep into the sump as I noticed the water level fluctuation due to filter floss clogging up means sometimes the nitraguard is not fully submerged. The other remaining option is to try a different bacteria eg mb7 or prodibio. But the nitraguard manual never state to dose bacteria so technically it should work without zzz Just fixed up my 4 stage di filter so if this still doesn’t work will just do a 2x25% wc to get nitrates down to my target ppm of 10.

today's update: Frogspawn is doing well and growing Mystic torch also doing well and polyp extension is good Nitrate still at 20 ppm - losing patience with nitra guard titanium. Decided to swap out the marinepure blocks in the media caddy with seachem matrix to see if matrix will do a better job at nitrate reduction. Seachem recommends matrix to reduce nitrate in high flow (>200 lph). As frequently claimed by other reefers my marinepure block was brittle to the touch. No more marinepure for me. Added about 200ml of matrix in a media bag. Just nice fit the bio media section of the media caddy.

No I turned off the wave maker since I noticed he likes to chill on it...just saying it’s like a cat like observe everything from a high point Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I see, damn I should’ve just bought 1 box and save my money Phosphate yesterday was 0 measured with API kit. Happy the phosphate got reduced from 0.25. Guess it’s time to get a Salifert or Hanna checker to see where the phosphate level is actually at. Took out phosguard to avoid crashing. Maybe I will put it in every other day for now. Nitrates was 15 ppm. Hope it would go down more but at least it’s moving in the right direction. Will continue to dose stability for few more days to establish the denitrifying bacteria more.

Yup I’m well aware about crashing the phosphates too fast. I added 12ml which a little lower than the recommended dose of 17ml. A shopkeeper told me when using bacteria and carbon dosing it’s important to feed the corals regularly to avoid stripping the water too much. Currently feeding reef roids every other day or 2. What I read about GFO vs phosguard is that gfo pulls phosphate very quickly but lasts longer. Phosguard is aluminum oxide based which reduces phosphate slower and doesn’t last as long. Safer but needs replacement more often. I have a Caribsea rock, I want to sort out my nutrient issues first before adding more. Thinking to go for a euphylia garden with some acans/blasto on the bottom. Still thinking whether to keep bare bottom or have a sand bed. For the sera balls don’t pull or stretch them. I did that to one in my FW tank to get more coverage and it’s lost it’s ball shape and flattened out, very hard to clean now. How much and where did you get your sera balls from? I’ve been buying mine from THAT aquarium at 328...$2 a ball Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hey bro, appreciate you sharing your experience. Can’t deny I want to avoid wc, if this round of phosphate and nitrate export doesn’t work I will probably just give up and do wc haha. In the meantime I’m quite hopeful the phosguard will pull down phosphate and sillicates since everyone raves about it, it’s just that the nitraguard hasn’t been working out in reducing nitrate even if I have a ton of bio media (2x marine pure blocks and half a bottle of matrix) To address the nitrate issue besides dosing bacteria, I’ve replaced the filter pad with sera crystal clear filter wool balls which I clean everyday now (no more filter pad nitrate factory) and also relocated the nitraguard to the 3rd compartment for higher flow since it needs to be oxygenated. Saw the lawnmower goby take a few bites of the gha...hopefully he keeps doing that. Think I need to start praying to it everyday hahaha! Anyway, forgot to mention another tweak I did recently was to remove the filter sponge from the eshopps nano skimmer pump coz it kept getting clogged and affecting the skimming level and power. I also realized if I set the water level in my sump the proper way (water level in 3rd compartment should be slightly lower than 2nd), the skimmer water level was too low even if I lowered the skimmer to the maximum. I hardly got any skimmate and wasn’t removing enough DOCs. The corals weren’t happy. I removed the filter sponge and set the skimmer to bubble around half height of the cup and it pulled out a lot of crap. So much so the water in the display was noticeably clearer overnight. I let it skim wet (half a cup a day) for about a week and the corals are back to full extension. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Nitrates still at 20 ppm so started dosing bacteria with seachem stability. Also added seachem phosguard in a media bag to lower phosphate and silicates. I’ve only been using distilled water so I assume the rock is leaching silicates out. Was researching quite a lot about phosphate absorbers and decided to go with phosguard since I can just use it in a media bag. Sump is really crowded now... Eshopps nano skimmer Nitraguard titanium Phosguard Chemipure elite GHA is quite bad so added a lawnmower goby. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Put 43g of nitraguard titanium in the supplied media bag, added an air stone and used a zip tie to secure everything. Tried putting it in the 2nd and 3rd compartment but was not a fan of the salt spray going everywhere. In the end I found the top compartment of the media caddy to be a good place. Covered it with filter floss and a old sponge to block all the bubbles. There’s a slight gurgling sound but it’s ok. Now to wait 7-14 days for the nitraguard to start working. Today’s nitrate is still 20 ppm. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Also dosed 3 vials of prodibio to seed some bacteria to prepare for the nitraguard that will be going into the tank tomorrow Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
