friday le, any update? =p

[Solo77]

tank shifted to my new place. tested with water and added salt. placed a 6025 and air stone to dissolve the salt. Will used salt mix and slowly turn to nsw. shifted my rocks over also. Gotten a rubber mat to go underneath the tank to ensure water will seep underneath the cabinet. Will need to get the pipings up and get contractor to do the sump tank. Will be planning how to do the piping and select which contractor to do up the sump......hehe. took some photo and will upload. will start shifting my equipment over to my new place...... thanks for the attention. : )

dont need to get live rock with coraline algae... ask those who have many coraline algae on their tank walls scrap a handfull for u throw them into ur tank with med flow around... on 16 hrs of blue lights (remember only blue) dose lots of Ca and Mg.. within weeks surely grow a lot

after that water change half tank of water one wk befoer u transfer fishes.

photos are up. A bit messy, sorry for that. tank and main frame support will remain while the rest will redo. dead rocks. Hopefully tomorrow got time to go up and adjust the SG level and treat all the dead rock. Managed to get a rock with coraline algae. Will bring some live rock to seed the tank also. Will throw in dead brine shrimp and dose bacteria. Thanks for bro reefzzz for lending me his equipment to assist the cycling. Sigh, today after home, realised my chiller socket was loose and got 4 casualties.....coral beauty, flame angel, midas blenny...and cleaner shrimp. RIP my beloved fishes and invert. Will get contractor to do up the sump on tuesday and deliver by friday. For the cabinet, need to expedite so that sump can placed. will send pumps for valve modification. Thanks for those that helped me. Bro Nuclear, abt time for me to buy the long overdue stuff from you. Thanks for reading my updates.

Hey bro,

Just an advice on the usage of dead rocks.

Personally it's my experience and still experiencing right now. I think given for a tank like yours, being brand new and sort, better use MORE liverocks than dead rocks. This is because I believe dead rocks upon re-entry into any biological system will start leeching phosphates/nitrates or previous nutrients that were being kept dormant or was increased due to the massive load of bacteria being killed during the killing-off process. As a result, you will likely to face a huge hair algae bloom after your tank has more or less gone into her 4th month and on. I do not know about what bacteria you will be using but for me I am using MB7 and BioDigest with vodka and sugar. Trust me, using dead rocks will only make the curing process longer and more time consuming not mentioning wasting precious money on bacteria food and bacteria. I have already gone into my 6th month for my 3footer and the hair algae are not looking any sort of going down. So most probably for myself, I am gonna rescape the more affected aquascapes with LRs.

So since you have not really started on your new tank, better is to buy fresh LRs than using dead rocks. REALLY REALLY not worth your time and effort. LRs you can look to Reborn ($5/kg) or to T95 ($6/kg) for them. If got more moolahs, then go for CF's luh. Hope I manage to get my point across (English no good ah! :X)

Should you need an extra pair of hands for getting LRs, let me know also. I always zoom around YCK area. So haha can swing by to help you with aid of my truck (:

Cheers bro,

Also, guess I am the suay one luh haha :S

But to counter this problem is easy: You can either put alot of carbon and alot of phosphate remover or GFO to contain the nutrient level during the intial stages and you should be fine there on (: Sadly I didn't do either of the methods so haha my tank got BOMBED! :X
