jervismun Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Here we go again... Since I didn't manage to sell the Red Sea Max Tankset... decided to make good use of it and start new Luckily I have kept the tank running even after removing LS and rocks... at least the sand bed is still "alive"! Introduced some new rocks a few days ago... isn't it nice?

jervismun Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Decided to use Artificial Rocks this time round... I bought 3 pieces (1 large, 1 med & 1 small)... once the scaping (yes 3 pieces also need scaping) is done... I use Aquapharm Epoxy to bind the rocks together 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...

izzat Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Bro, you just can't stop The rocks look really good but I heard they release PO4 in time to come. You may need to hang some Phosphate absorber in the mini sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to hang some Phosphate absorber in the mini sump They release phosphate? Where you get the news from? User or non-user? This is not the first time I used this Artificial Rocks... I used to have a very large piece inside my 2ft Juwel tank... ran the tank for a couple of months... not a single microalgae spotted growing on the rock... if the rock is really leaching with PO4, algae should grow like crazy within 2 weeks 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...

Am looking to get another clown into my tank in future to pair up with my current one... but it seems that true percs are hard to find these days.. Anyway keep it up jervis!
