  1. yup...i think i am not going to touch the sand..maybe just rescape the rocks... read that the reefers just transfer their LS to a blue tub and do the rescaping....let the water run for a day and test to confirm no NH4 and NO2 spike...then transfer back all the LS.. I was wondering how about NO3? ..what about reefer who engage external LFS help for rescaping? How they go about doing it? Anyone has experience can share? Heard that Iwarna provide this service? I have seen their liferocks formation....is very nice!...Any idea how much do they charge for rescaping?
  2. yup.. ...think i just scrap the idea...will remain the sand as it is...
  3. sorry, i mean black sand...yah..chips will accumulate lot of detritus..had chips inmy sump previously..already removed it.. just thinking whether to change to black sand..looks nice..but i think got to restart my tank cycling after replacing all the sand ...right? might not worth to do it...or can i just overlay the black sand on top? just a thought...
  4. Hi, considering to redo the aquascaping for tank or just add a few liverocks...would like to ask a few questions: 1. Will the rescaping cause the nitrate shoot up? (i supposed it will) Do I have to change 100& water after rescape? 2. After rescaping, do I need recyle the tank again? 3. Thinking to change the sand to chips, does it mean that I have to restart the tank cycling ? If I have to restart the tank cycling then i might just add a few more LRs... Need advice...
  5. chiler sold and collected. thanks all for interest.
  6. hey bro, u use 2 spoonful only?...is it effective? thought 3ft tank is abt 90gallon..the recommended should be ard 6spoonful(15gallon/spoonful) i dose 5 spoonful last time, altought the red slime is gone initially, it comes back again ...maybe i should try again wif the less dosage...u mean the trace element will cause the red slime to respawn?....
  7. Thanks....any idea where can i get it?...i will do a water change and siphon out the redslime on the sand band...hopefully can control it from spreading..
  8. Thank bro,...currently no more casualty..my true clown looks like recovering on its own...will try the pellets next time if the ich comes back again...*touch wood*
  9. Hi all, would like to sell away my Resun CL450 chiller for $120...the chiller is about 1 year old..it is good enough for a 2ft tank.... reason for selling is becoz i juz got another chiller from a bro here.. please PM me if interested...collection at jurong west..near pioneer station..thanks!
  10. Hey bro,thanks... it is only on the setting...but it doesn't mentioned how to adjust the temperature different.... mine is trigger at 2 deg C different...would like to set it to 1 deg C... Anyone using Teco chiller? can share how to do the setting? thanks...
  11. Thanks bro... You were saying water change will solve both problems?...so i just leave the fishes as it is?... tested my water last week, NO3 is about 20PPM, PO4 0PPM currently running algae scrubber, biopelltes and cheato in my sump... hope it will improve the water condition...
  12. the red slime come back again after a few days...any better to remove it?
  13. Help!...I am battering against 2 war now...ich and red slime.. My tank is contaminated with ich parasite...lose a few fishes, those still surviving are with white dots on their body.. Understand that reef safe medication can't do much on the infected fish, but can they remove the parasite in the tank? The survival are still eating and I believe they will build up the immunity on their own...but worry if the tank is still full of parasite, they will get infected again when their system is down.. 2nd thing is the red slime which gone few days ago after dosing red slime come back again..wondering whether i should dose the red slime again?? Can dose 2 medication together? Will there be any implication?...Which one shall i dose 1st if they can't be do it together....??
  14. Hi all, Anyone has the Teco RA680 Manual? Need it for the thermostat setting... By the way, what is the temperature different to trigger/activate the chiller? Read that it is 1 deg C, but the one i just got from a bro here is 2 deg C ..anyone know how to adjust it? Thanks....
  15. Hi all, Wondering whether Ultra life red slime remover is reef safe or not....there are mix reviews found online...majority found that the product helps but there are few reefers experienced whole system wiped out after the application although they follow the recommended dosage... Just want to gather some review from those bros who use this product before..what could be the main reason of having the whole system wiped out?? Here are the recommendation from the package when using this products: 1. 1 level spoonful (provided) for each 15 gallons of aquarium water 2. Keep skimmer on 3. Keep UV sterillizer /ozonizer on 4. Increase O2 levels by addition of airstone (could it be the root cause of the disaster if failed to do so??) 5. If needed, repeat dosage after 48 hrs, subsequent dosage will be a week later Hope to have clearer understanding to prevent the misfortune.....thanks all bros for sharing the information....
  16. erm..my tank is about 1 yr old already...using T5 light, 39w x 4 tubes.... but recently i remove all the coral chips in my sump, did it slowly within the span of 3 weeks...could it be reason that my whole system is interrupted and become unstable..?? currently running algae scrubber in my sump, will continue to dose bacteria weekly ...
  17. E red slime slime on e rocks seems like gone but brown color stuff(diatom) on sand bed still there ..juz get a urchin and sand dollar.hope it will help..my no3 is slightly high at 20ppm.po4 is undetectable ..
  18. Hi, I have this red slime algae on my rocks as well as sand also ....but sand one is more brownish, i think it is spreading..lots of tiny bubble on the sandbed and rocks... Bought red slime remover and dose according to the recommended amount, with the skimmer on as recommended in the instruction... As of yesterday, 24 hrs has passed but not much improvement except the tiny bubbles are gone... Thinking whether to redose again in 48hrs time as i read online that some ppl's livestock was wiped off after the dosage... Anyone has the experience to share? what else can i do to remove the red slime algae? already running algae scrubber in my sump..
  19. Anyone seen small size purple tang and yellow tang? Looking for rose bubble tip anemone too..
