weileong Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 If small amounts are added, the skimmer should handle it and if any ammonia will be absorbed by the zeoliths. Quote Weileong's 4ft tank Part I Weileong's 4ft tank Part II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Reefaholic Posted June 1, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted June 1, 2005 Bro, how to do maintenance on the tunze under the rock in future? Get rid of those boulder rocks? Maybe should get some fiji or tonga rocks. I think you should change the egg-crate to pvc pipe which is stronger and more lasting, just in case the egg crate give way.

weileong Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 It is possible to remove the tunze without removing the egg crates. I've cut the strainer so it should require lesser maintenance. I guess acylic rods would be more suitable as PVC pipe might have dead water column. Jim, all those LPS are very normal stuffs, anytime also can find one.

weileong Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Day 10th of BB system. PO4 has dropped to 0.01ppm. Did 4 test back to back, I couldn't believe it myself. Here's the results. 0.01 0.01 0.02 0.01 The fishes are fed daily, I can't torture my fishes for the sake of SPS (low PO4). If like that might as well keep a fishless tank You wouldn't feel good with paper thin fishes swimming ard in your reef right?

If I know I already got liao. I think it's a good investment rather than trying to use salifert PO4 testkit where the colors at very low concentration is next to impossible to see and telling yourself the PO4 is undetectable.

weileong Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Trend of main tank temperature. Return pump was shut down this evening for some maintenance (slight rescape) on the tank so causing the temp spike.

weileong Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 pH of CR. Now CR only run from 4pm to 2am, 10hrs a day. Main tank lighting period from 12noon to 10pm. This is supposed to help prevent the main tank pH from crashing too low due to the CO2 in the effluent.

weileong Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 By itself, it can't but I used the "Timo web" software and link it to a old laptop. This software can send you status report via email and this email can be send via M1's email -> SMS service. The time duration can be configured.
