  1. reminds me of my baby powder.....
  2. tat i dunno..i use 2500l/hr and get kopi 0 from 2012 last time..and even 2014 now...
  3. i using 2 kits for nitrate to double check in case one go haywire..lol salifert nitrate...the one with 2 powders...easy to test.. tetra nitrate..the one with 3 solutions and 1 powder...lol but the salifert one is more accurate to the small resolutions... it can colour code from 0ppm, 2ppm, 5ppm, 10ppm....all the way to 100ppm... whereas the tetra only 0, 12.5, 25, 50..... so i highly recommend the salifert one...
  4. bro, can post some pics of the acros? hehe..helps a lot
  5. yeah..calcium is the most ley chey...this nitrate quite ok lah...just put powder 1 swirl abit and put powder 2 and then swirl abit...then compare colour liao..one of the easier procedures liao lor.... the tetra nitrate more problematic...got 3 solutions and 1 powder...LOL.....salifert better..more accurate and simpler procedures....tetra one is put 5ml tank water...then 14 drops of solution 1....then swirl..then 7 drops of solution 2...then swirl...then put one spoon of powder...then shake....then 7 drops of solution 3...FAINT ah
  6. The joe sps sale....the sale worth waiting for..hehe
  7. tank update: pruned my macroalgae today..found clumps of string like green algae...very fine strings...but green colour...like a gal's long hair ...it's not as thick as spagetti algae....wonder what species it is... tested nitrates today...seems like between 5 to 10ppm...closer to 5's colour actually...
  8. it literally hangs around with gorgonians..hehe
  9. of all the parameters mentioned...i try to keep to my old tank parameters...i wonder how the new fishes will adapt but at least the old stuff will not get too much stress.... i think all quite constant except PH, last time i use 24 hour refugium lighting...now using 12 hour...but even in the old 24 hour, the powder wasn't in it also mah...so not as though it experience the conditions of the old tank and then come to the new tank it cannot tahan... dunno lah...the rest that came over from the old tank seem quite happy...maybe it's just the powder who already sick and not eating before i got it and no matter what i do, it also dun want to eat... not angry definitely, just that a beautiful specimen die on me...very sian, du lan, helpless, disappointed
  10. but hor..if the 2 discs do the turn..wun the airtubes get entangled up? hehe..paiseh...i may have misunderstood the diagram...
  11. no lah..not angry lah...peace just that which feature of the matured tank will make the powder happier....if it is low nitrates...i think 10ppm not say very high but not say very low also..i remembered my old 2ft maintained at 5ppm though.... but if say need those algae on rocks to be considered mature...also have some sprouts of algae growing leh..the rest of the fishes got peck the rocks here and there but they eat the food i gave them too...just that the powder tee kee...sigh. so i also duno which feature of a mature tank will make the powder happier
  12. thats true..i have 2 T5s in my sump and its holding all my clams now...all seems happy with the lights...water is about 6 inches deep to the sandbed...but it may mean only 3-4 inches from water surface to my clams mantles.... total T5 wattage is 108W.... but i dose phyto also...
  13. just wat i wanted to say...spend more on equipment for your precious lifestock
