  1. There's always a danger of introducing parasites into the DP when doing water change.

    I was wondering if the long exposed UV lamps for Pond use be any good.

    Tried using it in the DP for six hours and Chemo Therapied most of my fishes to death.

    Bleached white the live rocks that had nice purple algae growth on it.

  2. I am using the L Aquapurie Denitrator.

    Got it from an old timer. Did not read instructions properly, overfed the tank.

    Tank crashed after a month, maybe due to immaturity of tank.

    Readjusted the flow rate and replaced 90% of the old biomedia.

    Recycled the tank for another month. Just added four fishes back in for two weeks now.

    Everything seems OK. Nitrate is less than 4ppm. Need to monitor for another couple of weeks to determine result.

  3. R420 16K has been on my first mixed Tank(3 X 1.5 X 2), got some fishes, LPS with SPS Frags,

    Algae and cyno bloomed when I used the presets.

    Been setting it down to no more than 80% for a week now.

    Algae and cyno clearing up, did a big time clean up.

    Some of the SPS Frag bleached out, while a few SPS with brown algae on tips.

    Also clearing up, been cleaning it with a soft tooth brush.

    I just got another Razor 420 10k for my 4 ft X 1.5 X 2.

    This is more of a FOWLER Tank with soft corals, trying to be careful not to have another Algae Bloom.

    Appreciate your advise on ideal settings for both Tanks.

  4. Bro, your Tank's awesome and inspiring! As for your skin allergy, may I suggest you try Lanolin oil from Australia.

    Those that are made from Lamb's oil. My wife and friends who suffer from years of Eczema did much better with Lanolin Oil or cream.

    If you can't find it in the pharmacy, PM me. I've got some bros in Australia coming back end of the month. Will get them to bring back more for me.

    God Speed..

  5. Slapper, thanks for advise. Was thinking of getting an Eheim canister go thru my spare chiller then pump it back to the fluvial chi.

    Instead of substrates, I was thinking of putting in bio pellets and let in work like a de-nitrator.

    You think it will work???

  6. Bro Slapper, Cycling a Fluval Chi 6.6gl now, but the filtration was pathetic.

    Got myself a Rio last night. Can you share what you put in the compartments of the Rio?

    There is only a white filter membrane, I have got polyfilters, Biohome subtrates, and the noramal wool filters,

    can advise me which to put and in which compartment?
