Hello bros/sis
I am planning to convert my 5ft freshwater tank to a saltwater tank but the problem is mine is actually an IOUS tank and I can't place substrate that are too fine otherwise they will be sucked into the overflow compartment and my sump will be full of these substrate in no time.
Anyone here currently having such a setup and how do you guys overcome this problem? Place something to block the underflow compartment or use substrate of bigger sizes?
I am actually planning to use coral chips to block off the underflow but not too sure this method works or not. Anyone can share with me your experience?
Thank you!!!!!!
Looking for nice and big liverocks to start this wonderful hobby again. Planning to set up a 5 footer so bros/sis please let me know if you are letting go any, thks!

Hi bros thanks for the offers. For lightings will not be looking into MH, T5s would be my choice. No beckett skimmers for me as well and best is those RO new models. Please also quote me your asking price for the items that you are letting go.

Finally decided to come back into reefing so looking for the following stuffs for a 5 footer
1. Big and medium pcs of live rocks
2. Skimmer
3. FR
4. Wave makers
5. Lightings

Condition of equipments preferbly should not be too old and wear down.

Thanks bro solo, still in planning stage, nothing firm yet.
So bro if under a well aerated and bare bottom tank then can there be presence of anaerobic bacterias? Is it still possible for anaerobic bacterias to cultivate during cycling?
Bros/sis,
Found a very interesting article while google-ing..............
"Converting a freshwater aquarium into a saltwater tank"..........
The writer mentioned the original filttration can be used as BBs are the same and works as well as they are in the freshwater aquarium.........hmmmmmm how true????

Dear Bros/sis,
It's been a while since I left this wonderful hobby. Dunno why recently think I kena ick attack and have the itch to come back again ........ maybe a fowlr setup for a start.
I am into freshwater now and just wondering whether I could just convert to saltwater by just adding sand, salt and rocks without changing the filter medias and let the tank run for a couple of weeks?
My current tank is already established and I was just wondering whether the BBs for fresh and salt water are the same? Will they be affected and die off if I just convert directly?
I am using biohome, ceramic rings and japanese mat in my current setup. Hmmmm any bros/sis and experts want to give me some advise? Cause my ick really getting worse each day...wanna get it treated asap
Thank you and please share your thoughts generously bros n sis!
now mostly movers all shut down liao, perhaps u can arrange to place some deposit with seller then collect later, lidat at least show u r really sincere to take over.
Had wanted to go for a bigger setup after decomming but sad to say I can't go for it anymore due to busy work schedule and financial commitments.
Thus need to sell off some beautiful pest free LRs that have been left cycling in my blue barrel for months already.
Mosty medium to big pieces enough to fill a 4 feet tank
Letting go at only 3 dollars/kg.
Interested kindly contact me at 93868533, thank you!
