Nice FTS

Thanks to FT, Arg and Bio for the encouraging comments... but I am feeling the constraints of the sumpless tank, PO4 seem to shoot up and algae bloomed very easily and I am using 1 litre of rowaphos every month... very heavy to my pockets with the other required additives...

Got not enough space for a bigger skimmer and big chaeto/ mangrove plantation to reduce all the bad elements. For those setting up new tanks, nothing beats having a natural source to help in the husbandry of your tank. Hence, it will be essential to set aside a space in your sump for a refugum in your planning...

Can't agree more... would prefer a natural PO4 and nutrient export.

I guess it comes as a price that you can own such a gorgeous tank but have to deal with high phosphate and regular algae bloom.

well,

dude, you can look into putting greater effort in doing wet skimmate (if you have not done so) and regular water changes with strict feeding regime?

Thanks bro for the advice. I tried wet skimming but the skimmer cup always fullhouse and overflow easily hence making the cabinet messy... but guess i have no choice but got to try to clear the cup everyday

Oh wells

I am sorry about that :/ but I can only think of this plan, unless you forcefully implement a strict regime regarding feeding your fishes. Not easy. but yeah

and run some carbon too

It helps in keeping water pristine. and PLEASE! QUALITY carbon!

I ever got people backfiring me when they bought cheapo carbon and then come say "OI! what lousy advice! now I got more algae blooms!"

*as said quality matters! I heard eheim's not bad (:

Hey bro nice setup you have! Where's d cutie that u've just got? Yes bro btw how long do you on ur lightings everyday? This could also be one of the factor for high algae bloom.

Really?? Sounds interesting.... but it will be funny to get 3 pratas of the same pattern unless it's a 6ft tank

Yes, I think this time the blue is quite intense as compared to previous batches. Still have 1 big rock and a couple of small rocks left in store
