Bro, keep testing for you NO3 and PO4. But water para is just one indication of the cycle. Watch for diff alage boom, from my exp diff stages of cycling will have diff alage booms. So better hold your fish till you are certain.
Few days no problem. But if more than a week you shall start praying liao. Btw, how many fishes do you have? If quite a few, you might want to expand your collection of pallets/ seaweed...
Bro, 2 mths is still new, most likely the bateria in ur bio filter not yet fully est. Also, u cant completely rid off all the organic stuff in your water, thus the only way to out compete the cyano for food is to has an ATS or just wait for it to go away...
NPS Coral - feed them double the freq before your trip
Light - reduce the period by two hours, one in the morn one in the evening. To reduce algae
WC - double your freq two weeks before your trip
Fish - feed them fat fat before your trip. Half the amt using auto feeder during your trip.
Filter - wash and change them before your trip
Skimmer - connect output to a pail
* glue all ur coral so that they wont fall. Else two weeks down under = come back collect body
* pre mix some saltwater so that you can immed change water after your trip.
I have suvived three two weeks trips in last four months, casulties become lesser and lesser. This trip i loss only 0.10 of a gonio... hair algae poking it.
Bought a ATO and one ATS LED to DIY ATS. hopefully next trip can be better prepared.
[emoji41] i think can sell at $20 lah. Cos you feed three times to test that this pack has no posion. Then the next buyer nothing to be worried about. So i considered it a extra service rendered lah.
The key question to ask is how many WC has you performed with this set and what is the input water TDS. if it is less than 1000 litre usuage... no point sticking to this brand, waste your money...
FTS @ 09/11/14 - before two weeks trip
ATO, ATS, RI, etc, 双十一here I come
微距镜, 反接环, 近摄接环, etc here I come too
Behind the great firewall of china, there lies a great shopping wall...
