how much is Coral Farm selling the S9 n S18? Is the pattern nice or super black? When did you see it? Can pm me the price?

I dun think the container is dirty as I normaly rinse it after use. The salt I'm using is Marine Environment and the water I'm using is filtered water, even if I use tap water, Ammonia should not be 0.25.

Hi, is my Ammonia test kit (Salifert) spoilt as the reading is 0.25 when I test it on new mixed salt water. Should the reading be 0 for newly mixed salt water? Can any 1 advise?

yea, a pair of true percula clown is nice, especially those very unique pattern and super black ones.

Hi, how big is your pt and yt? I'm interested in both of them if you are selling them separately. Thanks.

Any 1 going to CF can give me a lift? Pls sms me at 91866414. Thanks

Thanks for your advise. I have removed the dead lps from the rocks yesterday and hopefully the Ammonia will drop to 0. Will keep on monitoring it and keep you guys updated. Another query that I have is how long should I turn on my 250W MH lights and T5 ligths per day. Thanks once again.

That's to say that normal should be 6 hrs per day? I heard from the reefer who sold me the lights told me to turn on the blue lights for 4 hrs, 250 watts MH for 2 hrs followed by 4 hours blue lights per day. Is that wrong?

Bro Jervismun, do I have to on the white lights for so long? I'm using 250W MH cos my tank is 3 x 2 x 2.5. I was thinking of turning on my blue lights for 4 hours followed by white light for 2 hrs then blue lights 4 hrs. Is that alright? Bro TigerShark, the a couple lps was already on the live rocks which I bought from a fellow reefer who gave up reefing.

Is it bcos of I did not turn on my white lights? I have been turning on my blue lights all this while? Is that the reasons for the Ammonia to be 0.25?

Bro Jervismun, any brand of bacteria starter to recommend? I'm using Salifert test kits for A N N. There's still some mushrooms in it. Do I have to on my white lights?

I transport it dry. Will the live rocks become dead?

Bro Jervismun, think the time during is around 1-2 hours (including the transportation and into the tank). Is there a problem cos the lps still open the next day when I turn on the blue lights. Thanks for your help.

Hi bro Jervismun, thanks for your help. Let me explain the whole scenerio. I started my new tank slightly more than a month ago. I setup my tank and top it up with salt water bought from lfs. Let it run for a week before I added live rocks (bought from a fellow reefer who gave up reefing). There are a couple of lps attached to the live rocks. During that time, the temperature of my tank is around 32 degrees. I turn of both the blue light and skimmer (Dymax LS 40) on after that. I noticed that a the first few days the lps did open up. But later on, it started to peel off from the rocks. After that I added Nitrifying Bacteria to speed up the process. Bought a chiller 3 weeks later and chill the tank to 27 degrees. Did a re-scaping of my live rocks a couple of times (first time is 4th week and second time is last Monday). Hope that you understand my explaination and have a clearer picture in mind. Thanks in advance.

Hi bro jervismun, just off my skimmer will do reduce Ammonia to 0? Currently my NO2 and NO3 are 0. Bro bawater said it's bcos of the dying lps that cause Ammonia to be 0.25. But my skimmer is not extracting out anything much. Hardly see anything being skimmed out. Anyway, will give it a try before I remove the dying lps from the rocks by breaking the rocks.

I think it died bcos of the temperature (32 degrees) in the tank during the cycling stage before I get a chiller. Is it really a must to remove it as I have just re-scape the live rocks yesterday and it would be very tedious to remove all the rocks out and remove the dying lps. Thanks a lot bawater for your reply.

Do I have to remove the dying lps? But it is together with a piece of my live rock and it is at the bottom and being stacked by other live rocks. What can I do about it?

Another thing to ask. Does re-scaping the live rocks affects the cycling process? Do I need to restart the entire cycling if I re-scape my live rocks?

Hi, I'm using Salifert test for Ammonia, NO2, NO3. My tank has only live rock and some lps attached on a few rocks. (note that some of it is dying I think). I'm using Tropical Science Nitromax marine to speed up the process. Is it bcos of the dying lps that cause the Ammonia to raise?

My ammonia is still 0.25 after more than 1 month of cycling. But my NO2 and NO3 are 0. Is it normal? Why is it that I can't achieve 0 ammonia? I have turned on my skimmer throughout the cycling stage. I have added bacteria multipler to speed up the cycling process. Am I doing the right thing? Can someone advise? Thanks.

Hi Seng, how big is the true percula?

Hi lyz77, How long does your chiller kicks in and for how long does it takes to chill? I have turn the valve to maximum flow and have placed the chiller output to the return compartment. Currently it takes around 15 to chill down and kicks in around 45 mins. Is it normal or should I increase or decrease the flow rate? Can anyone advise?

Hi Beaver, What pump are you using? What is the flow rate of your pump?

Hi Thomas, I'm using the first method ie flow to chiller and chiller to sump (2nd compartment not return pump compartment). The return pump rate is 5000 l/hr. think should be enough. Hi lyz77, What is the external probe? How does it work? Can you advise me further? Thanks.

The pump that I'm using is Rio 14. Is the flow rate alrite? The reason that I'm using such a high flow rate pump is the distance from my sump to my chiller is slightly more than 3 meters and the chiller is placed on top of my fridge. So how do I know that the flow rate is within the recomended rate?
