Anybody been there?

Cheem question! Lost touch in the motorcycle world already. Almost 7 years liao. My last bike was a Kawasaki 400.

Calcification is the process that impregnates Calcium and Carbonates. Hard corals calcify to form their skeleton. Coralline algae also calcify. If you want to grow Coralline Algae fast, beside ensuring constant calcium, carbonate, magnesium, high water flow, low phosphate and actinics lights you can also speed it up by increasing the water temperature. BUT by raising the temperature, you will have a tank full of Coralline Algae and nothing else. . Maybe you can try on an empty tank first. In any other case, be patient.

Actually calcification occurs faster at high temp.

It is a new discovery. I called it Encrusting Anemone Manjano. How's that?

Boy! you're good with your hands... impressive

That guy is not using ChemDen. ChemDen technological breakthrough was in 1999. His blogs was written in 1997.

NO3- + Zn + H+ + H2NSO3H = N2 + SO42- + Zn2+ + 2H2O ChemDen offers significant advantages over the biological treatment. It is the only process (other than biological treatment) on the market that converts nitrates in water to gaseous nitrogen. Physicochemical means, such as reverse osmosis, ion exchange, electrodialysis, or evaporation, only separate nitrate contaminants but do not destroy them. ChemDen is inexpensive. ChemDen does not require high capital investment and operating costs are lower than those for microbial treatment. Most components can be made of plastic such as HDPE, PVC, or FRP. ChemDen is not limited by levels of nitrate concentration. Biological denitrification is limited to treatment of waters with low concentration of nitrates. Typically biological processing operates below 1 g/L of NO3-, and cannot exceed the maximum nitrate concentration that the microbes can tolerate. Further, high concentrations of other salts that may be present in water influent may be detrimental to the microbes and lower even further the limit for the treatable nitrate concentration. ChemDen operates well at nitrate concentrations as high as 85 g/L and as low as only a few mg/L. The presence of other salts has no effect. ChemDen is not sensitive to operating conditions. Its response to changing conditions is almost instantaneous, merely a matter of adjusting the feed of reagents by flow and concentration sensors. Biological treatment, on the other hand, is sensitive to such operating conditions as temperature and pH. The microbes require a narrow range of conditions for their survival. For every fluctuation in flow and concentration of the treated water, the microbes must adjust and change the number of active species; the result is a slow response and poor control of the process. ChemDen is not sensitive to other contaminants. Contaminated influent may also contain components other than nitrates, which act as poisons to the bacteria used in biological treatment processes. ChemDen has no such vulnerabilities. ChemDen's reaction rate is higher. The reaction rate for ChemDen is an order of magnitude higher than the slow reaction rates that plague biological denitrification. Consequently, the equipment is smaller and can be made of such inexpensive materials of construction as plastics. ChemDen does not produce secondary waste products. Biological denitrification produces a biomass of degraded microbe cells, which must be separated from denitrified water and properly disposed of. For drinking water treatment, microbially denitrified water must be disinfected before distribution. ChemDen's process is scalable. The process can be scaled up or down to meet the needs of: agriculture steel and paper mills mining other nitrate-producing industries municipal waste-water treatment drinking water plants ChemDen is cheaper, simpler, faster, more effective, and more robust than other denitrification methods available on the market.

HOUGHTON,MI -- Researchers at Michigan Technological University are studying an enzyme that is being used to help clean up the environment and has great potential to be part of the solution to the global problem of excess nitrate and related nitrogen nutrients in water sources.

Creative have special arrangement for my company to purchase at staff price. They allocated Nov 27 & 28 exclusively for our staff to come to the warehouse to purchase (no need to queue long long) this weekend. Looking at the Catalogue, no special price for their new products. Only additional special gifts or lesser by a few dollars. For their existing products, up to 50% discount. If any of you interested, PM me. I'll forward the price catalogue. I can bring you in to the warehouse but I have to show by badge to pay to get the discount. There is a limit of 5 pcs per product model. Some new products can be pre-order if no stock: Zen Micro, MuVo MicroN200, MuVo V200, MuVo Slim and MuVo Sport C100. Got to pay first and collect later.

Anyone drive a Tucson? Share your joy/anger
yazid replied to clowntrigger's topic in General Reefkeeping_
Gone were the days when Hyundai cars was a nightmare to own. Check out Singapore own Club Hyundai to find out more from other Tucson owner -> http://www.clubhyundai.org It is not the best in all category but it definitely have its own attractiveness. Based on the quality statistics, Hyundai manufacturing quality are on par with the likes of Honda. The number of defects within the first 2 years reported is very low. I've been driving a Hyundai for the last 4 years without any problem. -
woah! live sand from GBR.... I felt so guilty bringing back so many Seagrass from Sunshine Coast already.

Not exactly right... The Islamic day starts immediately after sunset. Selamat Hari Raya!

Electrosux. Nice name. My Electrosux washing machine kaput also. I thought the advertisement said that it can last for a few generation. My new fridge is Samsung too. 2 vertical door model.
-
I just realize that a fridge cost much less than a chiller! And my new fridge is 8 times bigger than a TW6 chiller. Luckily I never tell my wife the cost of the 2 chillers I bought. One of them died already.
-
It is still best to have a 2 inch raise concrete for the fridge. The way my wife wash the kitchen, it will defintely corrode the fridge if it is not raised. Anyway, my new fridge arriving today.

Welcome to the new Nuisance Algae Forum!
yazid replied to Achilles Tang's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Can't find any fish that eats Byropsis. I got foxfaced, blue tang, yellow tang, achilles tang.. no one touch them. Pluck it out and reduce phosphates. -
stop jabbing guys.. Here's my analysis: Blasto last 5 years are really rare. Marine LFS in Singapore are also rare. Ended up order from US. A piece cost S$60.. shipping cost $280 (Overnight delivery). Now it is no longer rare.

Get the book Coral of the World lah!

It died of hunger and before becoming food for the critters (worms, crabs and bacteria)

Is that acropora formosa?

Looks like a Monti

It is still a million light years away from the beauty of your tank. I can only drool at others.
