Apr/May 2016 Detect High PO4 issue. (Above 0.15)Try changing GFO ,rowa and phos minus but issue keep coming back.1st Dec 2016 start No water change(Age is the main deciding factor)Started reading a lot of forum on No water change. Triton,DSR,Farmer TY, Sanababit,etc18th Dec 2016 Remove all GFO ,Biopellet and AIO.(Not resolving my High PO4 issue) Start using ATS, change to wet skimming, dose iron supplement and Carbon .1st Feb 2017 Remove ATS . NO3 always zero. ATS cannot sustainLeft with Skimmer, Iron supplement and Carbon dosing10th Apr 2017 1. Start using DSR iron supplement. Before that was using Seachem, Continuum and Brightwell iron supplement.2. Vodka use up. Start using vinegar/sugar mix as carbon dosingStart with 2.5 ml dosing but need to reduce to 1.5 ml after 1 weekNow stop as NO3 is zero most of the time.Instead I start dosing KNO3 since 1st Sept 20173. Add Power filterJun/Jul 2017 DIY viewing pot for more tank photography opportunity21st Jul 2017 Add 100 macro to my lens collection.Aug 2017 Start to look in PH issue between day and nite.1. Start source for soda lime 2. Set up CO2 scrubber with soda lime on 14th Aug 20171st Sept 2017 1. Stop dosing vinegar because NO3 always zero. 2. Start dosing KNO3 to boost up NO3Now looking into auto dosing of iron supplement and vinegar/sugar mix or KNO3

Time fly fast. Soon 2017 is coming to an end.Time to look back what had happen and changes I had made to my reef tankfor the year 2017.

You should give it a try. I find it work better then air pump. Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk

9 months 10 days no water change.No serious issue experience .Parameter is stable and great.

I am dosing Potassium Nitrate also

When you add livestock into your tank more waste is produce. This waste are nutrients and need to be export fast. You can check your nutrient level with PO4 and NO3 test kit. So every time you add any livestock check your PO4 and NO3 weekly and monitor any increase. Do not add anymore till both are stablise and within acceptable range.

Got it and is already running in my system

Do you run a skimmer? You need this to export your nutrient fast

Thank You Bro he for sharing

Do not really know the running cost yet as I just start on 14th Aug 2017 Also it depend on the amount of carbon dioxide to be remove at area of installation. So every tank running cost can varies a lot

The other end of the air tube to the soda lime capsule.

Add a normal air tube from the skimmer air inlet adaptor

Add an adaptor at my skimmer air inlet

Setup my soda lime capsule on 14th Aug 2017.

Finally collect the soda lime on 13th Aug 2017.Thanks reefer Lorenzo for helping to collect from seller.

I have a CO2 scrubber on my skimmer and it goes from pH of 7.8-7.9 to 8.15-8.2+

That's when I read about the use of a CO2 scrubber. What's a CO2 scrubber? Very simply, it's a container that holds soda lime. When you run air through the container, the soda lime binds with the CO2.

There are several ways of combating the problem. Many people grow macro algae in a refugium on an opposite light cycle from their main tank. The macro algae uses the CO2 during the light periods to create energy (remember photosynthesis?). Others dose with kalkwasser, which both adds calcium and alkalinity to the system and raises its pH. I was doing both of these things but was still having issues with low pH.

Or you can read some of the discussion I extract out hereA common issue among aquariasts is that their tank has a lower than desired pH. Many tanks commonly dip to a pH of 7.8 or even lower at night. Although, to the best of our knowledge, this isn't low enough to harm the inhabitants of your aquarium, it does slow down the growth of your corals.

This week we look into another common issue face by most reefers.This link from R2R discuss on this isuue. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/an-easy-way-to-increase-your-tanks-ph-with-a-co2-scrubber.57609/

Any acrylic fabricators should be able to do
