    WTS: Liverock

    in Sell off/Pasar Malam Shop

    Posted

    After my re-scaping, I have more than 50-80kg of liverock need to be rid of urgently. Most of these rocks are huge pieces and perfect for new tank setup.

    Anyone interested please PM me. Prefer to let go all at once but willing to sell in smaller batches.

    WTS 4ft Dual Beckett Skimmer with Pump

    in Sell off/Pasar Malam Shop

    Posted

    I have the following for sales:

    1. 4ft dual beckett skimmer made by Reef Maniac (the beckett chamber upgraded by I-Aqua)

    2. Iwaki MX-70 used for 1.5 years but condition like new.

    3. Skimz Waste collector

    Reason for selling is that I have recently upgraded my skimmer to Deltec.

    Want to sell quick, so any reasonable offer will be considered. Prefer to sell all together.

    Regards,

    Patrick

    BulkHead Leading from return into Tank Leaked!

    Hi Bro,

    You need to ensure that the bulkhead is a tight fit into the hole. If it is not, you will have leakage problem especially when using it with high flow pump like Eheim 1264. Double check to see if you can fit the hole with a bigger bulkhead and use it instead.

    As for silicon, it should create a strong bond if the bulkhead is right size fitting, but you have to cure it for at least 24-72 hours. I would suggest 72 hours in your case.

    Review on the different kinds of Marine Salts

    I could be wrong, but water milky could be an indication that some of the minerals did not mix or dissolved properly. This could be due to some of the chemical reaction or leak of chemical reaction. Using the salt water may be ok, but you may have some mineral deficiency in the long run. Better switch to a better salt.

    Any one have different opinion?

    "Old Tank Syndrome" setting in?

    Bro,

    You put zoo and mushroom under 250w, the light may be too strong, especially when you change from 20k to 14k.

    If you doubt about your water, you can do progressive, but large portion of water change, eg. once a week of 30-40% water change for a few weeks.

    For your tank size, it shouldn't cost a bomb to do that.

    My Tank Water Super Smelly

    I think this is normal for uncured LR as there is a massive die-off of organism due to the long transport lead time from the sea to your house tank. Unfortunately, your tank is not mature enough to handle the bioload of dying off organism. I would suggest to leave it as the bacteria in your tank will multiply very quickly to handle the extra bioload. This is actually good way to cycle your tank. You may want to test your ammonia and nitrite, I'm not surprise the reading is off the chart.

    After the smell goes away, and the ammonia, nitrite should drop to 0mg/l, you will need to do a complete water change (as the water may be full of nitrate or phosphate) before you introduce LS.
