jackywongto Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 yeah i saw earlier ... gives you some additional space as well huh, being external. more real estate in your tank. better skimming and waste export functionality more media space. peace of mind from water level consistency......

jackywongto Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 thoughts about my tank now... Pretty please with the progress. Most of the corals are doing ok ... especially the gonio. My favorite coral in the tank now. Once I have added the sand and pass on the spare zoas that I have, I will be focusing on maintaing the tank already. would like the sunflower zoas and some of the nicer ones encrust to cover the entire LR ... wishingful thinking yeah... but hope that will become a reality. Next will be to add on more fishes. still want the following : - blue neon goby - yashia goby + Pistol shrimp - Royal gramma - splendid leopard wrasse Quote Eqpt: Deltec MCE 600, Tunze 6055 with Tunze 7091 controller, Artica 1/15 HP chiller, AquaIllumination Sol Blue LED Light System 2011 resolution : Do it simpler, better and in an easier way!

SRC Member teebs Posted April 16, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted April 16, 2010 Peter!!!!! lucky you ask me to check the skimmate... I really had some wet skimmate already... infact .. 3/4 cup full...... Its not very dark but comparable to my Tunze 9002 skimmate already. wow... very impressed.... I am now setting it to get a little more dry skimmate.... hehe... so excited..... I actually set it for wettest skimming just so that you will notice immediately if no skim mate is produced. Adjust the collection cup higher and you will get drier skim mate. Just a note though, the drier the skim mate, the smellier it will be.

jackywongto Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 nice when u gettin the neon goby tell me hor i oso wanna get hehe... so how did u position the mce600 ? okie dokie. Will keep you posted if I see the N gobies. MCE? HOB lor... towards the right side. My Filter sock is secured to the right corner too. hmmm. just curious what would be the market price for the splendid leopard wrasse? Sorry Kiko. dun know leh. Anyone has any idea? I actually set it for wettest skimming just so that you will notice immediately if no skim mate is produced. Adjust the collection cup higher and you will get drier skim mate. Just a note though, the drier the skim mate, the smellier it will be. Noted Peter. Thanks. I notice that the skimmer reaction is very fast. I feed mysis and I see the skimmate 20 - 30 mins later.... Then no skimmate liao. very effective. One problem I have now is that due to the amount of bubbling, my CO2 has gone down by so much that my PH has shot up by at least 0.25 How to lower PH awesome upgrade!.... u must be feeling high now....can save on dosing additives liao with MCE600... how do u know yr armour of God and turtle death ate the mysis?..u means u literally saw them swallow up?....i think not all zoas eat mysis rite?....coz i dun c my zoas doing that...hur hur... Save on dosing? you mean additives like AZ NO3 or bioclean? My ORP unfortunately has dropped by 20 for some reason. hope it pick up after 2 - 3 days. Yeah I saw the zoas closed with the mysis sticking out. so i give you the black sand ... and yo give me the spare zoas Can can. if the zoas are still around then but common zoas lah.

One problem I have now is that due to the amount of bubbling, my CO2 has gone down by so much that my PH has shot up by at least 0.25 How to lower PH Yup, the MCE600 is very powerful for a compact skimmer... If you try feeding with Henry's Reef Gourmet, you might even see your skimmer overflowing... What is your PH now? I wouldn't get too worried if it is not over 8.5.
