I feel you. I hope you're able to overcome. This. Minor setback. I'll look forward to your thread soon! 

 

Still procrastinating. Overwhelmed with work and overseas trip. 

I'm currently waiting for a fellow reefer to sell me off his radions. Should be receiving end of month. Can't wait! 

 

Did my aquascape but not satisfied with it. Will be ordering new rocks to redo the scape

[Azil.HA]

I got. Some AF rocks. Loved how porous and light they were. They came in various shapes. The pink hues on them are neat. Kudos to AF! They were more of a shelves type of rocks.

They way I scaped I noticed they were some empty areas and zones in the middle of the island. I reckon they were gonna be dead spots where all the detritus will accumulate. 

 

Not. Particularly in love with the scape. Will be purchasing another batch of caribsea shape rocks soon. 

Btw some Of the structures were bonded by AF stone fix. Good product! Easy to apply and dries quick. 

I Should be selling off the rocks soon. Don't think I'm. Able to post it in the marketplace right till I hit a. Certain number of. Post?

You don't really require barb fitting.

Suggest to get some silicone hose & connect the 2 pipes like this. Cable tie is optional as the silicone hose to pipe fitting is already quite tight.

Thanks for info bro. Got Vincent to do as ref sea has a default return plumbing already cemented. For me to order the adapter for the return will require alot of time.

Threw in a litre of siporax and 2kg of Maxspect nano balls. Should get the plate instead. Taking alot of space in my tiny little sump.

 

Today is the 5th day into the cycle. Dosed AF Bio S for 3 days to let the bacteria established in tank. Yesterday I noticed the water turned cloudy and dropped in a shrimp. Woke up to a cloudy mess today. Hopefully it'll subside soon. 

 

Bought a cabinet from IKEA and cable. Management box to hide all the wiring and sockets. Took a while to sort out the wiring.

Reefers I need some help, Im using a 5nstage rodi. And I got 0ppm of water with the help. Of booster pump. 

My tnak have been cloudy for almost a week and I tested the tds of the barrel where I kept the rodi water and its crazy high. 

Please advise. Even the top up reservoir rodi water is not zero. Is this normal 

[Azil.HA]

The tds level. In the barrel

[Azil.HA]

TdDS level in top up reservoir 

[MarCal]

It should not be unless your barrel or reservoir is contaminated.
