i think we should have a liverock scaping competition.

many reefers have the talent for rock scaping. my vote goes to you. :goodjob: :goodjob:

thanks bro, cant say I have talent - am still learning the hobby, lots of things to catch up.

a lot of water is evaporating form my fish tank, everyday got to top up & concern that the level run too low at the return pump compartment.

... should I start my chiller to reduce the evaporation?

Very nice and balanced rockscaping! :thumbsup:

Nice rockscape.. lots of space for coral placement and fishes to swim around :thumbsup:

hi thanks bro. nothing much to update except just tested Nitrite = 0 :yeah: , didn't believe it so tested again & results is the same.

very happy seems that my cycling is completed

will update again when I add in some CUC & may 1 fish

Nice set up bro. Any thoughts of adding an ATO to fight the evaporation in the future? Now cycling phase not so impt though.

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.

Hi. Can to share pic of your sump? Wana see how you set up your refugium? Whats e advantages for using miracle mud with chaetos?

Thx

Ok bro I go take a pic later.

According to the person who sold me the mud, its like fertilizer for the for mircoalgae to grow, thus take up for nutrients when they grow and reduce the time for cycle too

yes bro...I suspect I may gotten the test wrongly will check tonight again as the NSW shouldn't be this low
Nsw known to have low mg/ca/kh. That y usually reefers use good saltmix to maintain the perimeters

Yup, tested water again yesterday. Mg is at 1350. still lower than ideal - l will have to get supplements to raise the parameters

hi bros

seek your advice - is RODI unit + salt mix a must / preferred way to keeping SPS

can I just buy distilled water & add salt mix for water changes?

OR can I still use NSW ( low mg / ca / kh ) & try to raise the parameters?

Bro, my opinion:

1) can I just buy distilled water & add salt mix for water changes?

>> This will be most ideal as the distilled water is confirm pure but I am not too sure about the cost of the distilled water.

2) is RODI unit + salt mix a must / preferred way to keeping SPS

>> RODI + a good salt mix is also ideal. If you planning to mix salt water on your own. At least a DI is a minimum.

3) can I still use NSW ( low mg / ca / kh ) & try to raise the parameters?

>> Raising these parameters is tricky. If you add in randomly, you potentially may reach a point of ionic imbalance of the seawater. This is due to the fact that by adding one chemical compound to raise a certain parameter, some other ions might be displaced out. Some of the bros here might be able to help out. For me, I still prefer to replenish these elements by constant regular waterchange.
