omg water stats gone bad!

[CalciumReef]

im dosing nutrafin bacteria which i just bought it today..

it state that 10ml(1 capful) per 35l. do i dose 20caps daily as my tank is abt 700l?

Dosage is double if im not wrong for saltwater...

[ReDDeviLs]

wow,than i will be like dosing the full bottle?

[weileong]

add a lot of GAC will help for sure!

[RAV-65]

the no3 could still be the same as the reading is over the roof! as in, it could be 150ppm, so any improvement, cant be read in a chart up to 100ppm.... if u have a sump, plants some macroalgae...

[ReDDeviLs]

have macro algae... they are like those grass that comes with liverock..quite alot..

anyway wats GAC?

[CalciumReef]

carbon.....

[NormanH]

Active Carbon.

[weileong]

activated carbon

[Kalib]

as today

NO2 bcome 0.1

NO3 still the same

NH4 still grey but not as grey as yesterday...

are things looking better?

If No2 is 0.1 and if nh3 is falling, it certainly looks better.

At least we know that the bacteria population is coming back and breaking down the wastes before too much harm is done.

[ReDDeviLs]

is the active carbons those bioballs?

sorry i dunno..

[Kalib]

Nope, activated carbon is a chemical media.

Bioballs are just bio media.

[ReDDeviLs]

chemical media is liquid or what huh? is there any brand? any website on it?

[weileong]

go to LFS and ask for "CARBON", remember to buy the filter bag for it.

[ReDDeviLs]

[weileong]

[ReDDeviLs]

[Achilles Tang]

Hi, I would suggest that you are in urgent need to read the pinned up links in this New to the Hobby forum for the basic understandings of this hobby.

Read and understand it... you won't regret it!

[ReDDeviLs]

hi AT thanks for asking me to read it,

read bawater's review once again and notice some mistake i have done..

i have a wet/dry filter(bioballs in the over flow system and ceramic chips fully surmerge in my sump) bawater mentioned that it will be a nitrate factory.. so should i remove all my bioballs now? what about the ceramic chip?

does that mean my filter system will only be the skimmer,dsb in my sump and a piece of sponge?
