Oops. My mistake. But hor, why flushing and main return same direction?

JC

The Flushing is not like "flush-to-the-drain"... it is a series of PVC pipes with holes to enhance water flow behing rockworks... refer to my previous postings for a pix... the Flushing System is a T-off from the Main Return, so naturally they are going towards the same direction :P

I also have a small T-off with a small sticker saying " <- CR " :lol:

condition is right...

meaning tank crash?

Haha... let me see... how about all the followings:

1) Huge RBTA minced by a Tunze Stream

2) A 1-foot long Sea Cuke chopped by another Tunze Stream

3) 5 Linckia stars melting at the same time

4) Refugium macroalgaes all going sexual

5) Yumas and Rics melting

6) Some large Angels and Tangs turn into floating tempuras

Ok... more or less... total tank crash... 100% loss :lol::lol::lol:

Update... well... my ATI BM... still manage to skim something out of nothing :lol: I think I need to create some sorta mess in the tank if I want to keep my aerobic bacterias happy :nc:

It's amazing how "dummy proof" the BM is... no tuning whatsoever... just connect and enjoy the show :lol:

Ok... dun think it's as easy as dumping the Live Sand into the DSB chamber... since it is part of the sump... even if I am to off the return pump for hours... there will still be mess all around... I have a plan already... but need time to execute... will try to complete it by tomorrow... stay tune :P

Bought Tropic Marin Nitrite/Nitrate test kit yesterday...

Despite what other reefers claimed, I find the colour quite easy to read... I like the viewing from top with the colour chart at the bottom... very easy :)

Oh dear... Nitrite is 0.2ppm :huh: Considered high... meaning my Nitrogen Cycle is still at its infancy :erm:

And according to Tropic Marin... I shouldn't proceed with the Nitrate test as it will not be accurate anyway... so I shall wait for next round :)

That's what I like about TM test kits... they are very informative and professional... not just a piece of photocopied A4 paper with bad translation :lol:

Depending on the species... all I know is Caulerpa (Green Grape) will turn white and pale... that's a bad sign :P

Everything about Salifert looks inferior... I guess they dun have to invest in glass vials and packaging coz their product is well known... despite the cheapo box and paper, Salifert is still no.1 in terms of result :)
