  1. then you should relocate your tank! HAHA Kidding! Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  2. How big this time? haha \ Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  3. LOL! Give them Nickelodean! P.S: Did I spell it wrongly? Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  4. Then you should sing, First I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong I grew strong I learned how to carry on and so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye you think I'd crumble you think I'd lay down and die Oh no, not I I will survive as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor nice tank cheers! Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  5. LOL! kids got that bad meh? Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  6. then might as well get a 6055 controllable? Anyway 6025's an idea but I too feel the same way as bro peacemaker: 1 6025 should be more than enough. 2500l/hr of flow is quite adequate for your tank and 2 x 6025s may end up causing whirlpools in your tank. Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  7. Below is a checklist I've found in RC under Sonny's thread. Enjoy. Quote from http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...93#post16159393 MB7 (Bottle Instructions.) + Vodka (or carbon) Dosing - http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2008-08/nftt/index.php ========================= Probiotic Reef Keeping. Time to dose = during lights on seems best. MB7 into the display. Vodka into the sump. Rules 1) Need a good skimmer Noticed in Water testing 1) high nitrates = increase vodka as per instructions. 2) no Nitrate/Phos change in LONG time = try another carbon source like vinegar, sugar, biofule... 3) low nitrates = maintain till 0 then reduce to maintenence levels of vodka 4) Increase in Alk = stop dosing Cal / alk, test water change h20 for alk level. Decrease with large water changes and/or chemicals if it gets bad. Corals may stop taking Cal/ALK while getting used to Probiotic system & increased light. 4) new tank/build = follow instructions, stay close to the low side of dosing. 5) Phosphate being high = a round of GFO Noticed in Algae/Bacteria Reaction 1) Bacterial Blooms (slimy white strings) = too much bacteria, decrease vodka dosing. 2) algae on glass after increase of MB7 = reduce MB7 3) brown dusting or brown hair like stuff = decrease MB7 (also check http://www.rimlessreef.com/1/post/20...eament-of.html ) 4) cyano = increase MB7 and/or lower/stop vodka dose. After the cyano has gone away restart the vodka from the initial or maintenence dose. If it's really bad consider a "lights out" period. If really really bad consider "Red Slime Remover." 5) peach fuzz = stop or decrease (especially vodka) dosing for a while (about a week or till the fuzz dies off) then start back up with the maintenance dose. OR This may also just go away in time. 6) glass and sand getting dirtier = dose more/feed less Noticed in Live Stock Reaction 1) Corals losing color = more feeding, possibly Amino Acids, lower photo period an hour for a while. 2) Corals Burnt Tips = check alkalinity..get it to 7-8 dKH by stop dosing alk...maybe stop dosing EVERYTHING if it gets bad. 3) Monti caps bleaching = Cut the vodka dosage in half and stay there until the cap starts to color up and/or lower the lighting photoperiod for a bit or have a light "day off." 4) Everything dies = Blame the wife, kids, or something other than your own possible mistakes Other 1) substrate hardening = keep it broken up and syphoned with water changes. Maintain a good high PH of 8.1 - 8.3 Sorry guys and ladies, I do not know a better way of posting this so I merely copy and paste. Hope this helps anyone who wants to do vodka dosing for a sps system. Basically IMHO, it's not 1+2=3 thing, quite difficult and must be damn hardworking on maintaining the dosage during the initial start-up. So well, in short, good luck. Any further problems and information just post it here. I'll go find the answers for you all haha (: Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  8. In carbon dosing, we are merely tipping the balance in favour of 'good' bacteria and that's a delicate balance (: Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  9. Bro, why you move your MP10 to blow just the back? abit wasted right for such a piece of equipment. can always get another wavemaker like hydor nano or something to help you blow ehh. MP10 can always be mounted on the top right corner and tune to a slightly higher setting to prevent detrius from settling on your main front eh (: And yeah, don't move the rics so soon. Be patient. my experience with rics has always been bad because my fingers are always itchy. So yeah and for them to settle, it takes quite a while, heard can be months :X anyway scape's good! but might want to consider like what if detrius settle in the middle of the scape? Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  10. Absolut Vodka, anything 80 proof. 40 proof also can, just that using 40 proof follows a different chart (: Also, buy from DFS. Anyone going overseas this month? Get Absolut from DFS. You pay like $23 Sing for a 1L bottle compared to $64 in NTUC or other places. The cheapest non-DFS price I can find is at my friend's wine ###### liquershop called Barwerkz. Smirff 750ml going for like $35+. Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  11. +1 here. I was into Vodka/Sugar & Mb7. I do see positive results but, a black sandbed :S Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  12. are you running a DSB? I know there are issues vodka has with DSB. Kinda like DSB contains both good and bad bacteria. Feeding vodka to the system only produces more good and bad bacteria. The scale will not be tipped as a result, you wont be able to achieve ULNS. I believe this issue has been addressed in RC before. And to remove DSB to fully push the effect of vodka dosing is easier said than done. So perhaps bro, you will need to look into this issue which could be the reason behind your spses not coloring up. Happy Reefing, Marc J.
  13. You're fast! any scape pics? haha. I just rescaped and epoxyed my rocks. Gonna wait till over friday or something then add water (: Happy Reefing, Marc J.
