A fellow reefer also recommended this product. One from PolyPlab. 

From my understanding this is a balance supplements where it will automatically balance your KH Mg and Cal where there is no need to dose individual supplement. Once i get to test it will ask you guys for opinions or anyone is using this?

But i need to get them to ideal parameters first. My KH is too high now using Kalkwasser to get my PH n KH to ideal range.

Hi bro,

Loved the way your light hanging bar compliments the house design. Darn too bad i finished reno 3-4 months earlier or else would consider doing something like that too. 

Also would be good to do regular bacteria dosing. I am using polylab genesis considering aquaforest after this but whichever it is bacteria is very very important. to me its something that i must do everyday especially with my heavy feeding of frozen food and dosing of coral food. Even if i never test my kh for 3 days also ok (but than again i am running a dosing pump) but 2 day never dose i feel like i have betrayed my tank liao =p

Never used polylab one before (nor can i find much actual usage review doing a quick google search) do let me know if it is good if used. Still think it might be better to be able to control my ca, kh and mg individually instead of a all in one.

My calcium level is 410. I can't seems to get my Cal up. A fellow reefers told me to get my Mg up. My Mg is now at 1170. KH still remains high at 12.5 dKH. I am a bit lost probably wait a while and try to get my Mg up to see if all parameters will fall to good ranges.

Thanks bro for the compliments on the rack. Lucky my cousin does this for me from JB. We discussed ourselves and diy it. Even the panels i bought it from Dama Acrylic.

As for the all in one from my understanding it can balance itself if one of your parameter too high it will not raise that parameter instead it will raise the other 2. Need to do some testing first probably need another 2 weeks, will post my results.

As for the limewater do we need to dose it slowly or can I dose 300ml at one go every 3 nights?

Make sure your NH4 is zero. Stop adding any livestock till your NH4 and NO2 is zero

Your MG is way too low. Push it up but not more then 100 per day.

Once your MG cross the 1320 mark all your other parameter will start to move

I decided not to add anything till the parameters are all stable. Hopefully in a week everything will be ok.

Thanks guys. Noticed a slimy thread. Can anyone ID this if it is harmful.

I read online could be eggs from my turbo snails.

Continue to top up MG. Once it reached above 1300 go slow and monitor
