  1. I am trying Biofuel myself too. Not too sure how it works for me too. So far it seems like it is not giving the results for the past two days. First day dose the biofuel, I didn't off the skimmer. And tested nitrate still the same. 2nd day dose biofuel and off the skimmer for 4 hour but yet to see any improvement as today don't have the time to check nitrate. As mentioned before I never test for phosphate as it is usually zero as supported by GFO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Running a reactor can ensure its consistency but if can't have a reactor then dosing might just work but with more commitment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I use GFO rowasphos on a reactor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Yes to me I think it is around 0.5. My phosphate is closed to zero as it is usually clear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. For salifert test kit, when u read it from the side, it need to be divided by 10. From the picture it seems like you got 5ppm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Sure just dose first 4ml in my 76 gallon yesterday. Will take a reading tonight since the Nitrate 10PPM has been like 4-6 months already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  8. Yes sometimes before I buy the fish back I asked the LFS to feed the fish I intend to buy with some food to see whether it eats or not, if it doesn't, sometimes I don't even buy it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  10. Yeah, somehow marine fishes always tends to attack its own kind first, based on color and shape. So a yellow tang will attack another Yellow tang first rather than disturb others. And when new fish like hippo tang (though same species) is added, the Yellow Tang will attack itself (mirror image), rather than disturb other. This method works for me for fishes like Picaso trigger fish and some Angel fish like Majestic and Blue face. Other expert please chip in whether you all use this method too. Of course a separate Quarantine Tank is best but I don't have the option of putting another fish tank in my house.
  11. Sorry to have it too cheem for you, didn't mean to confuse anyone. Hope I can explain this method more clearly. In my tank (3 sided view), I have some tangs (Yellow Tang and Tomini Tang) already in my Display tank. And when I buy a new fish, (Hippo Tang), I will put this hippo in the quarantine cage in the DT. The quarantine cage is hang by the side of the tank. At the same time, I will paste a mirror (the one purchased from IKEA), mounted up using blue tag just below the quarantine cage so that the existing tang will focus on its mirrored image, and not disturb. Though the new fish is being caged up, at times, the existing tangs will disturb him by picking at the cage when the new fish is near the edge. The new fish will be quarantined say for a week or two. And after the two weeks quarantine, I will release the new fish into the display tank. The quarantine cage will be taking out but the mirror remain attached to the side of the tank. This way it will reduce the chance of new fish being attacked by the other two tangs because the existing tank will still busy at attacking at their mirrored image. Hope this clarify a bit.
  12. I mean putting the new fish in quarantine cage. And at the same time putting a mirror near where the quarantine cage is for say one week. And when u release the new fish into the main tank, and quarantine cage removed, leave the mirror there so that the aggressive fish still attack his mirrored image rather than the new fish.

  13. I find that for tank that already house aggressive fish or territorial fish, putting a mirror besides the quarantine cage ( fish trap) will increase the chances of survival in newly added fish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. How to set custom white balance in digital camera?
  15. Congrats.... Got to read more on zeovit looking at your success Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I think Corals and Fishes were be more comfortable having the same type of timing as human do. There is time for rest and time for photosynthesis. For viewing purpose, I have set my timing from 1030am to 900pm... And I set to moonlight so that even in middle of night, I could do some viewing though moonlight was found to be of no specific benefits for them. Since you are on LED, I think you could set the schedule too
  17. yes, I would think the RO/DI water would be the best... But some of us has certain budget constraint and we will make do with whatever best minimal we could have....
  18. I think it is okay. Just change my GFO media yesterday and have all this brown stuff every time I change. Fishes and corals are okay Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I just change my rowa phos too. It is what u have describe. It cleared after few hours. Think it is okay w fishes and corals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Get live rocks to quicken the process of cycling and u may save the fishes hopefully. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Are you using any wave maker so that to create more dissolved oxygen?
  22. Both my Fire and Boxing Shrimp put in bag floated for 30 mins after taking back to my tank. Then I released it straight away to tank. They are okay to date after 8 months.
  23. May be a bit late to suggest now but previously I was using wooden frame DIY from Daiso. I purchased those slim wooden frame from Daiso Sengkang Riverview Mall I think. They comes in different length and the edge of those plastic mesh is secured using cable tie.
  24. Yes waiting for Madpets re opening too, need to get the filter bags soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
