  1. Elements Quantity Unit per kg CL 19.8 g/l 19.4 SO4 2.8 g/l 2.7 Mg 1.3 g/l 1.3 http://www.hw-wiegandt.com/Deutsch/Meersalz/meersalz.html Chloride (Cl): 55.04 wt% Sulphate (SO4): 7.68 wt% Magnesium (Mg): 3.69 wt% http://www.usask.ca/geology/classes/geol206/geol206rr2.html so we can see from the above that if we want to raise magnesium levels....it may be better to add magnesium chloride rather than magnesium sulphate because addition of magnesium sulphate will result in 1-1 ratio increase of magnesium and sulphate levels....the sulphate levels will balloon out of normal magnesium levels in seawater levels much faster than to add magnesium chloride which will increase magnesium but yet will not cause a huge percentage increase in chloride in comparison to natural sea water... that is my personal deduction and i am not a chemist.......
  2. epsom salt is essentially magnesium sulphate....dosing it will increase sulphate levels in the water as well in a one to one ratio.....whether higher sulphate levels will do harm or not.....i also dunno the more expensive magnesium additives tend to use the more expensive magnesium chloride instead of totally magnesium sulphate
  3. yeah..when the polyps open bigger like the one i took in my main tank...then very nice one...irregardless yours or mine.... your piece is big and shiok , remember to redeem it fast otherwise i tear away the pawn ticket
  4. yeah lor... the pic very distorted because of the ripples...but can see my blasto polyps smaller but redder....but basically a relative of yours..hehe can also see the lobo above
  5. sometimes one really needs luck in this kind of things
  6. dispar...lights off in my sump liao....anyway too much ripples on the water surface to take properly lah...looks like a cousin of yours lor....just that the red perimeter abit redder than yours...but the polyp size is smaller
  7. wah..i got mine same batch as yours...but not so problematic though... hope you get it working soon
  8. yes hamannbmw, it's a blasto yeap jie, it's turquoise..cyan blue...watever..hehe weileong...yeah...but alot of polyps on his piece... blenny....will do so when i place it in my tank
  9. main regret... should have gone for 3ft width... coz its easier to scape a gentle slope....and looks very natural... already drilled into my head that the next tank will be a 3ft width for sure
  10. his piece lor... in my sump right now.... the polyps bigger than 20cent coins
  11. can't wait to see it open up....then the polyp will cover the skeleton base
  12. no lah...it's his.... yeah...quite a number of people ...lol... here's a normal looking one.....dispar's piece is much nicer..
  13. 2 blastos + 1 blasto from dispar....1 lobo... dispar pawned his blasto to me first... he will redeem it later
  14. think it genna freaked out by weileong's camera and other visitors these few days.... got some mild white spots now...lol.... sigh..gotta dump more food to make it happy liao
  15. if only i got miracle ability to move everything one side intact and put the new tank in its place and then slowly move the things over... sigh....when wanna put a new tank in the place of an existing tank...it is alot of work....sigh.... and risk disrupting the balance of the system which i dun want to.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... regret regret regret ok lah..lemme go dream now of my dream tank
  16. yeah man..the more i see ..the more i regret... 8x3x2...here i come
  17. hehee... actually i not say very happy with my tank lah...i already told some reefers what my regrets were... i am only happy of my fishes...everytime see them i feel happy....hehe
  18. not neat definitely... those who saw it will agree... totally in a mess like a warehouse
  19. abit of everything then is the best mah.. eg....deepblue's tank
  20. no lah...far from it i realised... firstly...totally no sps.... big minus point already but maybe for fat fishes of the month maybe possible
  21. the output from the stream decreased using stepped sine wave UPS... from my personal observation.
  22. AT how big ah...i never measure leh.... maybe those who saw it can give a rough measurement? hehe i scared those bros see the tank liao disappointed mah....wait they think look as nice as in the pictures then real life see liao not as nice ..
  23. tank today.. hope those bros today aren't disappointed
