[starfish123]

finished building a platform for my skimmer. microbubbles has really decreased significantly. thanks, bro kaykay

[MadScientist]

you can add a sponge at the outlet too, helps to make microbubbles into bubbles.

You're most welcome.

It's a pleasure to be of help.

I tried inserting a pc of filter floss at the outlet, but it wrecked havoc with the water level in the skimmer.

I guess you can only just cordon the general surrounding area of the outflow with the sponge to absorb the microbubbles.

[MadScientist]

kaykay, output should not be restricted. place the sponge along the flow, making sure there's no restrictions

today tested my nitrite again, and the results was......zero? my tank only 10 days cycle, but why nitrite drop so fast? or is it because i transfered my previous tank media to my new tank? please advice

[starfish123]

new scape

[starfish123]

realised that i forgot to place a piece of glass between the 2nd and 3rd compartment to keep the height of water stable so water level keeps getting lower in the second compartment and skimmer not able to operate well. what should i do?

[MadScientist]

can always epoxy or superglue a piece of acrylic to adjust height. not pretty, but works

[starfish123]

ok, might try, anyway going to hide the sump with a piece of alcrylic. am just afraid that epoxy and silicone cannot dry underwater

[starfish123]

my nitrite level has been constant 0 for 5 days already. is there any problem with my cycling or is it because i recycled my previous tank's media?

[MadScientist]

I'll pick the latter, but need both ammonia and nitrate to determine

[netviper]

MadScientist is rite. Test ya ammonia n nitrate to confirm.

[starfish123]

ok, thanks for info.

haha, only considering first, must wait for tank to stablise first... and see what else must i get and see if in my budget or not...

[starfish123]

but i transfered my frags from my holding tank to my new tank already as they looked like they were dying there as some did due to the lack of light. now opening up nicely especially my ric. will post pics tomorrow.

The T5 tubes n the fixture itself matters alot. For me, at least Delightings T5 fixtures or equivalent n ATI tubes.
