  1. i fill up a small tank with my 3 stage crystal pro DI water and store it afterwards for further use..
  2. dont think its pods.. they dont look alive and they aren't moving..
  3. Hey guys, my 34L tanks just 2 weeks old and i noticed one week ago, this thing started growing on the tank wall.. today it has grown to cover most part of the wall.. what is this? closest close up i can get. Thanks.
  4. i actually store my DI water in a tank for frequent top up.. will storing it makes it not DI? i do keep a handful of resin inside though.
  5. i read that doing WC while cycling can lower phosphate so will reduce algae.. i thought coraline algae needs lighting? so i should keep my light completely off?
  6. Not intending to add anything for at least 1 - 2 weeks later. Just want to know if tank's cycled..
  7. My tank as of today, is cycling for 2 weeks already.. lots of pods sticking on the glass walls. im seeing some green and brown algae surfacing on the sand as well as the rocks.. i know brown algae are normal but is green algae normal too? this few days i reduced my light period to only 2 hours per day.. Anyway, Today took readings of my tank all using API test kit after doing 10% WC : Ammonia : 0ppm Nitrite : 0ppm Nitrate : 30ppm~ pH : 8.2 phosphate : 0.25 both ammonia and nitrite is 0ppm.. does this means my tank is cycled? i wont be adding any livestock for at least another week though.. maybe another 2 weeks if i can tahan..
  8. Tempted to get a rbta too but scared die and i read that once they die, your whole tank will crash...
  9. looks like it's the Starpet satellite breeder box. Anyway if my tank does not have a wavemaker, does it means theres a high chance of survival for the rbta? main reason anemone die mainly is due to the wavemaker right?
  10. Hey, looking for a few more stuff. Looking for Ammonia (NH4), magnesium and Nitrite(No2) API Test kits. other brand also can but generally prefer API... also looking for goobye! po4.. SMS me at 9106-3934 if u have any to sell. Thanks!!!
  11. How long can the 2 bottle last if dose daily for my 34L tank? Thanks
  12. great to hear that! anyway, today is day 3 of running my IQ skimmer and i noticed the IQ skimmer is skimming green colored skimmate.. any reason why? should i leave it on or turn it off till tank finish cycling?
  13. Some updates.. changed the carbon and resin in my crystal pro and im finally getting 0 TDS! anyway, installed my IQ skimmer(changed the wood to sanders 2) yesterday in my HOB and surprisingly, it fits perfectly. after running for a day, its starting to skim some light yellowish color.. will stop skimming tomorrow and let the tank cycle. filtration, had to leave the lid off.. the white filter bag contains some rowaphos.. will be adding purigen when tank finish cycling. did a slight rescape.. should be more circulation now among the rocks. Noticed some of this small white dots that are alive and moving.. what are they? Thanks!
  14. Still looking for ammonia. nitrite and mg test kit.
  15. still looking for ammonia, gH, kH, nitrite and calcium test kit. other brand also can. SMS me at 9106-3934.
  16. I get your point and i appreciate for explaining to me. already bought the IQ skimmer though.. will still try it out eventually.. thanks!
  17. How come inefficient skimmer is worst den no skimmer? If I were to keep up 10% wc weekly + a skimmer won't it be better? And if I were to dose goodbye po4 I need a skimmer to take out the particles right? Please advice. Thanks!
  18. That's what I've been thinking.. Light skimmate never mind. At least better den no skimmate.. Hahahaha
  19. Thanks for explaining.. I get what u mean.. But already bought some rowaphos placed in my filter. Maybe after this exhausted ill get some phodguard to try.
