Removing coral chips


Recommended Posts

Dear all, I am thinking of replacing my coral chips with biohome. I remove 1/4 of the coral chips and placed 2 kg of biohome into the sump. I noticed that one of my fish actually has a bit of fin rot. Hmmm. Could it be due to ammonia spike?? Can someone advise on the procedure of making the change?

Another question would also be, I am planning for a refugium. Can I just get some Chaeto and have an LED light set to shine on it for 24 hours? Or it will be better to be on a revise cycle. Thanks for your advise

Hai, I would suggest minimum arrangement our sump to avoid stir up or resurrected badthing from sump (bacteria)... siphon dirt should be ok...

If afford to stop return pump a while until your maintenance works done and makesure all the residual clean up. should be safer

About refugium, pls find below some nice refugium and sump setup from melevsreef. :) and yes you can uses chaeto and LED light set to shine on them.. 24hours or 12 hours.. Slower flow rate will be good..
