Thks bro! I notice no matter how I adjust the valve, the drip is rather inconsistent. May be partly due to the lousy SP3000! <_<

The flow will become a bit more consistent over time... but still... IMO... dun worry about the flow too much :lol:

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! :unsure:

The weird thing is, my KH is only 8dhk but both my Ca & Mg is so high!!! :cry2:

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 :lol::lol::lol:

I am using a normal Sony digicam DSC-N1... the one with the very large touch LCD screen (1 year old model)... for me it is good enough coz I usually photo edit before posting... perhaps you wanna consider the Olympus new models... those fully waterproof ones... then you can submerge your cam inside the tank and shoot macro without distortion from the glass :lol:

For me... 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 :lol::lol::lol:

Your Yuma is looking alright to me... no worries :lol: And it's quite a beauty :lol:

But you tank is so huge... sure have enough room for it to clean up... since catching it can be a hassle (if not impossible)... maybe leave it in there lah...
