SRC Member lis9090 Posted August 30, 2017 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2017 Anyoone knows where to buy codepods culture? Thought of buying the culture to start if i were to get a macroalgae reactor. Thanks Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member reef tan Posted August 30, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2017 Pods come with LR....and is in ur tank already if u got LRSent from my LG-D315 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial cycling process is troublesome unless you have an ORP meter. Generally, it tends to lower the tank pH a little because the effluent is pH about 7+ For phosphate removal, its very easily handled using rowaphos. Personally i prefer to use a reactor for it (eg. Two Little Fishies Phosban 150 reactor) so that the flow rate can be tuned up/down depending on the system phosphate levels. If done properly, the phosphate levels should reach the correct levels within a few days. For refugium to work, you will probably need a fairly large refugium to grow cheato (eg. 50% of your sump volume). A nice example is the Triton display tank at Sims Avenue. ATS works but again, it needs to be suitably sized to maintain water quality. You probably need several large water changes to bring it down from 40ppm to let's say 5ppm 4 hours ago, reef tan said: Basement corner shop at SimLimTower....waterproof type Led strip.

alons Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 What is the problem?.., the values you indicate are reasonable for a 4 months tank, i would say even it's pretty good, why run and start to use chemicals and out materials Reduce a bit feeding quantities, period 10-15% water changes, and you are good to go, let nauture do his thing If you really keen on adding something in the future, check out "special blend" from microbe-lift, it smells like shit, but it's the only product with real live bacteria, dose a bit every 1-2 weeks after water change, and it will keep your tank shiny (I am not in any way affiliated with M-L, just used their shit for 3 years). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the insight.. well..i m particular cos i wish to keep corals soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alons Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 You should have no problems with corals, as long as you maintain a water refresh routine, not over feed and over populate with fish, and put new live stock SLOWLY, patience is the name of the game, most of the folks over-populate and do it fast, causing their biology to collapse. Delay using chemicals, be patient instead, save your money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
