Jervis' Full Time Job

[jervismun]

2 tubs of Sorb 4 not enough lah.... think u need another 2 tubs.. hehehe.

Wah! You work for Aquapharm izzit? I believe it is sufficient since the intention is not to fill the entire chamber with the media... trying to get high flow through it

[iantoh]

Hi there jervis,

amazingly tall FR youve got there! cool!

just thinking aloud though, why so tall?

i'm actually thinking of employing my phosphate removing media

in a canister rather than an FR, as the media grating against each other

releases more ferric dust than i am comfortable with, and this will most

likely be an even greater issue as the weight of media one uses increases,

as the weight of the media will cause the grating action to be harsher.

your thoughts?

right now, my FR outlet flows onto a DIY sock filter that holds four pads of filter wool,

and using just 300g of rowa, the pads are already super brown with dust.

cheers,

ian

Hi bro Iantoh... will explain my rationale in greater length later... but I can understand completely the situation you are facing right now. I tried Rowaphos for 2 weeks (mid March) and I find it very dusty too. Algae bloomed badly during that 2 weeks That is my personal experience btw... I'm sure there are other reefers out there that disagree.

Perhaps you wanna consider trying another brand... some brands are coarser than others while some dustier than others... no harm trying

My Sea Fans are still doing well... 10 minutes after flooding the tank with Reefroid

[jervismun]

I wonder how long they can continue to bloom like this It's been more than 2 weeks

[jervismun]

Close up

[jervismun]

Last piece... opps caught my BE pooing

[BFG]

Don't worry too much about the seafan blooming. You got a healthy specimen of seafan and gorgonia.

Very nice sea fans, Jervis! No one in my area has them and yours look great!

I wonder if they transport well

[aquavista99]

I wonder if they transport well

My guess is no...which explains why no one in my area has them

Use those super low brush for clearing the water pipes lor...

If not just buy a new one when its dirty

Dun forget he's the man with the money.

Haha... you got me there... but I'm not lazy... just that there are so much other things to tend to besides the FR I will use siphon/suction to remove the media... if needed, will overturn it too once some water has been removed

[LoReNsIa]

u can always run few small one.. rather den the big one.. haha..

That's another way... but I really wanna experience a super tall FR... been busy... will try to set it up this weekend

[jervismun]

Today is both an unlucky and lucky day for me

UNLUCKY

Itchy hands took my skimmer foaming pumps out for washing... taken extra care with the impeller... placed it in a very safe place... on top of the fridge (low-type)... while washing the rest of the pump... "Murphy" paid me a visit The 1.5m drop broke the ceramic shaft that holds all the components together Tried gluing back using Superglue... works but the rattling sound is quite unbearable

LUCKY

Quickly called AM... and luckily they have spare impellers

[godzillaliu88]

i think AM knows that such inccident will happen to you soon.

so they bring in spare parts and you will buy em.

Yeah... I was careless this afternoon... or maybe since I have 3 foaming pumps... the probability of breaking 1 impeller is 3 times higher than average Surprisingly the original impeller is quite affordable

FTS

[kevink]

breathtaking, i always wonder how you guys manage to cramp all the corals in there

[kenYO]

very nice FTS

under new T5 or existing MH lighting?

[jervismun]

Under 10 T5 tubes

[jervismun]

Thanks bro... well it's slightly easier to "cramp-in" SPS as they do not extend much (unlike LPS) and usually quite easy to attach to LR using epoxy or superglue... but I foresee removing some of the colonies once they start to thrive

Here's my favourite section... like the mix of corals and the Squamosa is really a centerpiece

[jervismun]

Healthy fishes begin with good food

I feed Formula One & Two frozen cubes twice a week...

Mix of seaweed 3 times a week
