Avrilovigne Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Very nice tank. Love your clown fish. How is your bio load is it high? Or able to manage? Thanks Kakani. I started with a sulphur denit. but it didn't manage very well. I'm now soley using Red Sea's NO3P04 and nearly all the algae gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnymau Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Bro nice tank, however 2 months old still quite young, with such bio load must be very diligent in keeping the nitrate and po4 down. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakani Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Good choice to run sulphur denitrate. Best in removing no3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up! I agree. Water parameters still not stable. Doing well with PO4 but trying to stablise NO3 to the 5-10 range at least. Occasional ich and fish dying. (also due to the aggressive purple tang which I probably have to remove sooner). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
