91 litre's 24g Tank

[qwertman321]

good question. how then does the water reach inside? im not too sure too. the bacteria is the one denitrifying. not the water itself. substances can diffuse in and out of the sand bed without problems. perhaps that is how the bacteria reaches the NO3. strong flow is good for a tank with DSB too.

you don't need a DSB since ur tank is so small. it will be ugly and you just don't need it. personally i have never tried DSB, but would like to in the future.

Do u think i could block up a corner as high as my tank and put a DSB? i wanna keep SPS!

why do u use freshwater sand?? aragonite sand is better.... it buffers your tank water and help stabalie the Ph. moreover, at ph 8 and above, aragonite dissolves and provides calcium. keeps the tank alkaline too...

but still must dose.

The sand is Too expensive.I would rather use the leftover money to buy the addictives and dose.

each pack of black sand i buy save $48,which means i could buy $48 worth of additive. i use 3 packets of sand = $48 x 3 worth of addictives

but isnt those sand aluminium oxide sand for the fresh water black sand?

later leech things out then you be wasting more money on the corals and restarting everything again

1000litres and 91 litres are the same person...

If u have read the past post by 1000litres will a 40 to 50+ guy make such comments ??

a small tank is hard to maintain pH

aragonite sand is better for small tank to help maintain it

beside, u need less than 1 bag to fill ur tank.

i suggest aragonite sand as well

pH is nano is hard to maintain

have fun

ok point noted . a lot. if i would have another tank i would use live sand !

Do ur PH swing Up only? or Up and Down?

its not about whether its live sand or not.

aragonite comes in the form of dead ones as well.

soon later it will become live sand again. its the property they have.

Ok but i think i read from somewhere that aragonite will dissolve isit?

[LaW]

of course, it dissolve to maintain pH

ur tank is extremely small, topup wont be a problem

and its not like topping up often.

[jackywongto]

at night , when CO2 is higher, PH will always be lower.

In the day, CO2 is lower, PH will always be higher.

So throughout a 24 hr period, PH will swing according to the above.

The question is how much it swings. The lesser will be better.

Ok thx for all the advise. Anyway i heard that xenia coral is good to reduce Po4 but release nitrite?!!

[qwertman321]

hey guys , if i kept i DSB , do there water need to pass through it or juz over it?

it doesn't need a flow though just wet surface and water passing it will do it
