cause i just notice something weird.. i using a DSB why my nitrate haven decrease...
now then i know something went wrong... my 1st layer is coral chip 2nd layer is grade #0 sand... this 2 combined to about 4-5inch sand bed.
and my nitrate still quite high....
i think i re-setup my tank soon... i clear the sandbed together also....
can DSB form by mixing grade #0 sand + coral chip ??
i dont think that DSB can work out by forming this 2 together?
DBS shd only consist of grade #0 sand right???
can any guy guide me here?
what thing should i look for when keeping coral healthy...
cause i planing to re-setup my system...
i have setup a small tank as a QT.... tomorrow i maybe moving some of my live rock over. cycle for abour 3 weeks ...
my main tank is running for about 4 months
but my coral issnt doing well...
so i may need to re-setup my tank.
look after calcium, alkaline, and nitrate.. izzit enough to keep coral healthy?
Bro roiden really envy your tank ... wonder how you keep your coral so nice and your fish so healthy..
cause my coral are not doing well in my tank
dying slowly ... haiz... and not opening really well...
can we re-live our live rock?
example i left my live rock out of the tank water... i left it outside my house.. for about 1 months as i thought i dont need it anymore. so to ask u guy. can i re-live it ?
i have the above coral for nearly 2 mths... everything seem fine...
but about 1 weeks ago. it never open up ... i not sure what happen to it.. those above coral do not need strong current?
i just changed water 4 days ago...
anyway other coral seem fine... only this 2 coral not opening up...
if it is due to high nitrate problem what should i do with it ?
i nv use any sand for my QT... well i just using a simple ineternal filter for my QT....
i only place some ceramic inside my QT and some ehiem bio staff..
just a simple setup... i just change 20% of the water.. and the nitrite lvl is under control...
I just setup a QT 1 week ago i put a market prawn to kick start the cycle after 1 week i remove the prawn...
now i notice my ammonia is about 1.5mg and nitrite are 0.8mg
ok... so i remove the prawn...
now how am i going to reduce the ammonia level ?
should i do a 20% water changes to reduce the ammonia and nitrite level?
other parameter
PH 8.3
SG 1.025
i just setup a simple quarentine tank...with internel filter... now still cycling.. once the cycling is over.. i will put my fish over for treatment...
