I notice no matter how I adjust the valve, the drip is rather inconsistent. May be partly due to the lousy SP3000! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flow will become a bit more consistent over time... but still...

SRC Member lyz77 Posted June 17, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 17, 2006 Jus complete my water chg and cleaning all the wool/ sponge!!! Not sure why my Ca shoot up to 450ppm and Mg >1500ppm after water chg! ME salt should not have much issue as I had been using it for quite sometiime! The weird thing is, my KH is only 8dhk but both my Ca & Mg is so high!!! Other then performing another water chg, wht else can I do???

jervismun Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Retest your Ca and Mg... and perhaps look for another set of test kits to double-confirm. I bought the Tropic Marine Ca+Mg for the same reason... to double confirm my Salifert's and they are usually very close. Your Ca perfect... and I don't think high Mg is too much of a concern as it will drop pretty quickly once you start stocking corals... low KH can be easily solved... cheaply too... and 8 is not like a bad situation yet... so Im not sure another round of water change is necessary... Hey, don't be "kiasu" lah... if you so free... help me change water lah Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even Zoom at all... just make sure the camera comes with a damn good macro (close-up) feature... that you will use almost all the time. I got the Olympus leaflet with me now (got it from Orchard, outside Citibank) and the 720SW is selling at $749. It features: • 7.1 MP • Waterproof up to 3 metres!!! • Bright capture tech. • Image stabilizer (can be very useful for moving LS) • and etc. You may wanna drop by their booth at Orchard coz they are giving away loads of freebies now includ. extra memory cards and digital workshop!!! Ok enough promotion Your Yuma is looking alright to me... no worries And it's quite a beauty Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
