Hmm sometime i wonder do reefer really need

to spent so much money on phosphate remover

or reactor ?

Actually from what i experienced:

Best is to go back to the basic:

1. Use only distilled water for top up

and for mixing of salt:

2. Low livestock

3 Regular Changing of water.

Hee just to share share..

hmm bro IMHO, think it boils down to tank size and preferences,

distilled water top up is viable option, if tank is smaller, of cos it's easier to just buy distilled water and mix with salt, but for reefers with larger tank, the amount can be quite hefty and impractical.

equipment wise, maybe it's more of a personal preferences, like why some ppl prefer to own a car and some prefer to cab around despite being able to afford a car..

1 man's meat, is another man's poison :) like how some say dosing pump is better (cost effective etc) than CR, while some would cringe at the thought of it.

True! nice one there :thumbsup:

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
