  1. I prefer my chaeto to be freely tumbling in the water so that they get even light exposure. It needs to be FREE :yeah:

    So installing a filter comb to keep it from washing away is a must.

    I have filter comb installed but bits & pieces of it still able to flow thru it. Thinking of putting in mineral mud & a thin layer of live sand on top as substrate for refugium. Wondering if that would help?

  2. Dun scrap off also can. Use can just use live rocks and chaetos.

    I dun like sand as its messy.

    How do u place/contain/tied the chaeto without it being blown away? :unsure:

    Cos right now i'm tying it to acrylic sheet using fishing string & use a small LR as counter weight on it.

    Maybe my flow in my sump a bit too strong.

  3. ok. will get those betta tank and stick on my sump.

    Just wondering if the refugium glass surface started to grow coraline algae & other algaes, need to scrap off? cos i saw some ppl's refugium tank glass surface is quite clean. Afraid it will kill some of the pods if i scrap it off. :eyeblur:

    Hope somebody can give me advice on this. :thanks:

  4. Some updates,

    I've added one small piece of LR

    Think the ycg is a bit under-nourished.

    The ycg refused to eat, now gone liao. :rip:

    Now using my pico to quarantine my ich infested clown fish.

    Bring down from 1.024 to 1.010sg. Seem to show improvement.

  5. Should be more then enough. Almost zero maintenace except to ensure the calcium mix is here for dosing.

    Most bro mix and store in jelly can of different size

    Ok, cos I thought the liquid is quite ex. Maybe I try the powder one in future. How's the 2- part solution, heard its quite effective, ca & KH.

  6. Or you can consider dosing pump. I found it easier compair to Ca reactor. If you use 3 channel, then you can control Ca, Kh and Kh individual.

    Is dosing pump good enough for sps? Cos afraid it might consume a lot of calcium & then u need to top up often.

    Calcium liquid also costly if u have to top up often.

  7. Stop adding any fish at the moment for at least 4 week once the ich cycle is over.

    You might also want to consider saving money to buy better equipment before stocking again , if not similar problem like your chiller pump might arise again, and you may ended up buying more live stock again. Happy reefing..

    Thanks for the advice. Not gonna get anymore fish in the coming mths til everything is ok again.

  8. Haha no la, going to do something more simple, there is actually gap behind the glass the bottom cabinet so I will get a piece of arylic and paste the background on it. This way I can keep changing the wall paper, left and right also can be different. =p

    Dun mind pm me the price of the tank setup as well. Thank you. :)

  9. Pls help now everyday I got fish die. Not sure why but can see some fin rot. All coral doing very well including leather, zoos, bubble, anemone. Had carbon, skimmer, uv, chaeto, np pellet, rowaphus. Tested high NO3 on Sunday but already change 20% of water

    Do a 50% water change. Quarantine the affected fishes if possible. Could be bacterial Infection spreading.
