ei. not much well but got well.. cant add anymore as it will look too clustered. i prefer more space for fish to swim and sps to grow..

[comycus]

Add biohome in sump ba, maybe it would help.

[jackywongto]

do WC monthly will help.

how about np pellets? maybe it will help to reduce no3.

[desideria]

wah liow your No3 is 2-5 only leh.. mine is hitting 50 and probably climbing!

I wish I could hit 2-5!

Zeozym bro! Works wonders to red algae.

[zorden]

ei.. my mistake i thnk the red algae only happen to be in a small part and its gone for now.. i just worry abt my salinity lv. going to do a wc on thursday.

[desideria]

Hey zorden, may I suggest you try the Zeovit Coral Snow and Zeozym combination... it worked for me. Got rid of all the dirt ( the brown diatoms) on my sand and it's supposed to get rid of the Red Algae as well.

code red. My salinity reading is 1.45 using my friend refractor meter

i guess the digital salinity meter is wrong and i added some salt as i tot the salinity is dropping. now doing major wc.

need to calibrate my digital meter back to normal..

few coral including my hardy pink tip rtn

[sherman]

I have the same experience 2 to 3 years back.

The digital salinity meter underread and I keep adding salts.

In the end Henry help me finf out the SG is 1.035.

Lost many LS by t he time find what happen.

Still the refractor meter and the simple floating SG meter is the best

[zorden]

yeah now i do have the luxury to slowly adjust the salinity to 1.025. did a major wc.and the salinity is 1.030. Adding RODI water to reduce it to 1.025.

this stress my coral..

[zorden]

all the while my digital meter and my refractor meter give me the save reading until i decided to lend my friend the refractor meter.

The uncle murphy decide to visit me and i did a major wc with the digitial meter and all is history..

zzzz
