Does SPS really absorbed so much calcium and carbonat...

i have temporary let go of my current SPS as i face kH prob.

the last reading before water change was Calcium 300 ( alarming !!!!!) , Magnesium 1240 .. pH at 8.44 and kH is unstable , nutrient undetachable.

After 20 % water change with ME and adding biocalcium and aragamilk. Calcium 364. magnesium 1320, pH at 8.31, kH at 8-9. No chance to use the Grotech new series of additive as yet !

Will try to upz the Calcium by aragamilk and bio calcium .

now can relaxed a bit and after this ordeal really set mi thinking of getting a calcium reactor .

Just incase some of u guys wanna try distill water , the last reading i got from LIFE distilled water is 1ppm which is better than my DI water at 4 ppm . need to slow down the flow i guess.

=)

[yvoneysl]

My DI water reading is 12ppm lately,

I think it's time to change the cartriges...

well try reducing the flow first .. as our tap water is around 60-70 i guess. ur DI is still effective

Yes reducing the flow can improve significantly... that's the only way to get 0ppm for my DI unit nowadays

one last try ...

have been monitoring the water parameter closely .

recent update to my tank during my exam period

solite 6 T5 HO to Giesemann MH 150 watts

Change my Additive series to Grotech series

Resun Cl280 to Artica 1/10

Wavemaker to tunze ...

During my recent Kh problem , i decided to temporary let go my SPS to one of my reefer while i dun have so much stress during studying .i realise i let my Calcium drop to 300 only and my Kh can drop quite drastically during a day. Problem was solved after water change.

One of my Fav additive is aragamilk because of the ease of usage.

[hammy]

my all time fav ... though common but they are brillantly coloured.

[hammy]

this is super cute

[hammy]

i have stop dosing kalkwasser at the moment as it is a very tricky additive.

bought the clam with bro kennethk ... still undecided where to put

i just wash my skimmer yesterday and it can be a pain in the ######.

deltec user should know the difficulty of cleaning the needlwheel without breaking it ...

well.. really lotsa debris ... a lot a lot ...

will schedule myself to clean the skimmer quite regularly like once a month as that is my most imporatnt part of filtration.

and yes, i am most proud of my coralline growth and really thank God i dun have algae on the rock as yet. My snails are super hardworking haha.

just 4 fishes in my 2 feet cube ... now i feed solely on Formulae one and 2 pallets as they are the easiest to feed with the most nuitirition i guess.The oldest resident is my clownfish which i lmost sold away ... looking back i also thank God that i didnt sell him away. There used to be a pair of clownfishes , however one of them was stuck in eden 228 times ago .
