[roidan]

So good have these slugs... Like very helpful in clearing glass anenomes...

actually i prefer not to have these slugs...coz then it means i have no aiptasias to support the slug population..sigh

[roidan]

Bro roiden really envy your tank ... wonder how you keep your coral so nice and your fish so healthy..

cause my coral are not doing well in my tank

dying slowly ... haiz... and not opening really well...

er...nothing miracle i did bro

keep your nitrates low and your corals will bloom....its not the whole picture but if you can manage your nitrates...more than half the battle is won with regards to corals opening up

[roidan]

bro, how much did that burn your pocket? Cos I also want to buy heheh

about 200plus....quite near 300 liao..hehe

[weileong]

[roidan]

DSB will do the job? to keep my nitrate low????

i think for new tanks, dsb wun kick in so fast other than providing a big area for colonising bacteria to convert to end products nitrates....nitrates..the best is macroalgae....i tried it and endorse it...lol

[sjsheng]

so how to get it done? cause i planning to re-setup my tank...

so how can i get the job done?

macroalgae what that...

[roidan]

macroalgae are those marine plants u see those LFS selling

[roidan]

another kind

[roidan]

[sjsheng]

so how to get it ?

buy or grow ourself???

can this thing really keep low nitrate ???

wondering where can i get grade #0 sand now... all shop closed...

[roidan]

[Blenny]

hey brother roidan, you growing a vegetable farm in your sump ah? are all those pics from your sump?

[sjsheng]

i do not have a sump... if not i will grow the macroalgae... to keep my nitrate real low...

[roidan]

hey brother roidan, you growing a vegetable farm in your sump ah? are all those pics from your sump?

haha..yeah man..

those pics were actually from my 4ft tank sump last time...but i post for the benefit of bro sjsheng to let him see what kinda macroalgae i use..hehe

now, i already picked 3 types of macro algae as my chief exporters in my sump tank...hehe...all of them growing profusely under my T5 lights....i feel so happy plucking some other weeds out periodically, meaning those nitrates were really absorbed into these building masses of weeds...

[roidan]

i do not have a sump... if not i will grow the macroalgae... to keep my nitrate real low...

yeah...there are many great uses of a sump tank..for those building new tanks...remember to include one

Blenny, if you go help me pick some red grapes too hor. Then I go to your house collect

[Blenny]

ok will do

[roidan]

red grapes out of my algae list liao...coz even though they are less prone to crashes like their green cousins.....they still do from time to time..

so i took them out of my list...i will pass blenny some other types...

[weileong]

so based on your experience with all the different type of algae which 3 types are you using?

Best got photo to help me ID. I've quite a few types in my ref too.
