good for you, you're putting in so much effort to work with what you have. Kudos to you.

And I'm so tickled by what men do to make their wives give in to buy marine related stuff... I would probably have to do the same.. but for me the other way around... since I'm more into the tank than my husband. HAHAHAHAH

btw. nice zoos. :P

Cheers, ;)

MIT,

need advice. Nitrate measure 20ppm. Is yours same or better? I still can't figure out y my seafan not getting better.

Wow, Nitrate at 20ppm better do some frequent water change to bring it down. The last time I did 50% WC and change to new De-Nitrate media (using Sea Chem De-Nitrate) when encounter such Nitrate amount. I also dose Tropical Science NitroMax Marine {http://www.tsbiolabs.com/product_p/nmm-330.htm} every time I do my WC. During mid week, will dose small amount of Tropical Science Marine-Clean, another form of Beneficial Pro-Biotic Bacteria to assist in sludge removing and cleaning of the biological filter media.

Hope you can reduce your Nitrate asap. No good for corals. Fish still ok.

Btw, me no good at Sea fan, they are one of the toughest coral to maintain as they belongs to Deep Sea lifestock. You can check out here: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_di...amp;pcatid=1517

Hope this helps.

Hi Mit,

de-nitrate media you put where? take out the coral chips? put media in a bag much like the carbon?

Was going through the DIY algae scrubber thread. Did u try? U think will work for us or flow to small. Was thinking of right side of tank but seems way too narrow. Can't think of anywhere else for our tank.

Btw, what's your nitrate reading?

I put the de-nitrate media just above the carbon bag. Tats all. Have to squeeze abit though, : )

I tried the algae scrubber, but the right side won't work cos the filter media is there, and it is suppose not to have any lights shinning into the filter compartment. So my conclusion is WC every week lor.... then no need to bother so much.

I very long never take NO3 reading liao, cos tank already stablise, just ensure the weekly WC and the dosage of Iodide, Stronium, Calcium, Magne, Trace element, and the bacteria.

Cheers

Latest update: 18/01/10.

My T5 had been giving me lots of problem with the T5 connector loosening due to wear and tear/salt deposition. Had installed 72 SMDs 5050 (1 SMD is equivalent to 3 LEDs) Cool White on a 2-rows configuration of 36 SMDs (3ft) per row to replace the T5.

Estimated Specification for 30 SMDs as below (may not be the true account but as a guideline due to shop selling does not know the exact specs and has be to downloaded from the internet):

Wave Length: 8000-9000k

LED Luminous Flux: 210-270Lm

Lighting Hours: 50,000hrs

Nothing fanciful compared to those High Intensity 3W LEDs from US or Japan. But then, this is a good economical upgrade from off-the-shelf and DIY. China made though, but the price is economical and easy to DIY even a non-electrical person like me can plug-&-play.

Pics to follow soon... :)

Hey buddy, been a while since I saw your tank thread. It is looking great! Your mystery resident brings back fond memories of my blotchy anthias before I sold him :cry2:

My 1.5ft nano cube

My 24G nano tank (Decommed)

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
