SRC Member seanhorsay Posted May 15, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 15, 2015 bro, how much u dose a day on those colour elements? 5 drops a day? Hi bro, Erm.. not sure 5 drops r how many ml? For mine case, I juz dose 1 ml/day. No doubt, it's consider overdose for my nano but my BM dosing can only dose min of 1 ml. Fortunately, have been about 2 mths & so far so good.

SRC Member f16driver Posted January 11, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted January 11, 2016 Beautiful tank. My tank is the size of your sump lol. How often do you do wc?

SRC Member seanhorsay Posted January 12, 2016 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 12, 2016 Bro, what type of SPS you started with? Having LPS now only. Hey bro, sad to say my sps not doing well in my tank. Most sps go inside my tank, their fate will turn brown within a week. Mayb due to my tank hi nutrients?? But weird thing are my sunset monti & 30K lokani ok leh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member JMW Posted January 12, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted January 12, 2016 Maybe acclimatizing to your tank para & lighting? I had a green stag which turned brown overnight lol, thought it was a goner... But after shifting it to better lighted position, it started to green up nicely again.. Took almost 3wks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took almost 3wks though Thx for sharing, my Ca, KH, Mg, salinity & temp are fine. Except for NO3 is hi, fortunately PO4 is manageable. I believe my LED are fine, as other LPS & softies doing good. I should stop loading SPS I think, sian.. So far only can keep sunset, lokani & setosa.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member seanhorsay Posted January 16, 2016 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 16, 2016 Same. I'm always hovering at 10-20 Mine r worst bro.. tat shd b the reason my tank dun welcome sps. Growing cheato, runnin pellets & wkly 10% WC can never bring NO3 further down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing cheato, runnin pellets & wkly 10% WC can never bring NO3 further down. OK my nitrates are coming down and here's what I did. I tackled the source as well as did larger wc. Make sure you change out your filter wool, rinse your bio media if it's been sitting there for awhile (lightly rinse with Di water to just flush the detritus), and also try target feeding your fishes and corals with the pumps off. With wc, lightly stir up and vac the very top layer of your sand bed, and do 20-25%. Quite likely, with your bioload, your water change only removes the same amount of trates being introduced. So introduce less, take out more. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media were rinse as well, but with existing tank water instead WC.Unfortunately I dun have the luxury time to target feed corals, but auto feeder for fishes instead. Will only target feed corals really once awhile.. For feeding while pumps off can be done using controller, which I have yet to hook up. As to suck out top layer debrius on sandbed is also not possible, due to over crowded corals in my small tank. Which will ended up topple off most corals, so WC was done from sump. Guess I will try to perform multiple >10% WC within a week when im takin long leaves hopefully in CNY. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
