  1. Hey bro volume is measured in litres. weight is measured in kg. the density of this carbon 485kg/m3. this works up to be 0.485kg/l. i sell the carbon by per litre. same as other leading brands of carbon. easier to measure using measuring cup. i use 1l every 2 to 3 weeks now to deal with the yellowing of my high bio load tank. used to use 1l every week but cannot tahan the cost so i off load most of my fish alrd.cheers!

    Did you check (or smell) for dead sponges or organism that comes with the corals? Especially the zoos and mushroom which tend to have sponges and other organism on them. May be due to dead sponges which spoil the water... leather and mushroom don't die out so suddenly unless the water parameter is really out.

    For me, I would normally smell the coral before buying them... you'll not missed the smell - I would not buy any coral if it smell bad... even though it may looks good from the outside... much like buying durian <img src="http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

    one way to do now is to check each piece of your corals for bad smell and throw out the bad ones...

    my 1 cent advice... in my experience, putting in a large number of corals at one shot should not cause too much problem (provided they are in good condition)... I'm only worry about the water level increase when doing so...

    Regards....

    Thanks all for all the advice! I have done the following:

    1) do a partial water change to reinstate the water quality

    2) throw out all the smelly (& of course dying corals).

    3) monitor the position of the coral, in relation to their lighting requirements.

    All the corals which I bought are very healthy & i dun noe whether by putting all of them into the tank is the cause of the early demise. I feel so miserable..sigh..I do not add any other supplements to the tank. Talk about Murphy's Law...my MH bulb just burnt out, so need to get it replaced....
