  2. Anybody have used these HOB protien skimmers before? I've already ordered it and will be coming in a few days time. Heard good reviews about the Aquamaxx HOB 1 but didnt recieve any reviews locally. It comes with a sicce shark pump 2.0. Aquamaxx and JNS if im not wrong are the same? Just a rebrand?

  3. I will take photos as soon as possible..

    i have made some research and came up with this thread

    From the sounds of it, he is having the same problem as me, having great coralline growing with no algar issues until NoPox is overdose.

    Aviad from red sea in the end says coincidental. I dont think it is if i have the same problem.

    (Just a note, i didnt have bacterial bloom, my fishes/inverts and sps/lps/softies survived the overdose)

    I even have an email from Aviad

    Seriously Raising No3 And Po4? I had perfect algaeless tank before overdosing.

  4. My current nano tank is having some massive algae issues. It doesn't look like GHA, its look more stringy and slimy and faded green and some are white. Can't ID. My tank used to be Algae free with undetectable phosphate and maybe about 1ppm of nitrate. I was able to control them with regular weekly 20% water change and Carbon Dosing.

    All this algae happens when i accidentally overdose NOPOX into my tank (Maintenance Dosage @ 0.25ml, Overdose @ 8ml). After noticing I was overdosing, i made a 20% water change and kept a look out for bacteria bloom, after 12hrs or so, bacterial bloom didn't happened. Made another 20% water change just to be safe. After a few days, all this greenish whitish stuff starts to bloom.

    I tried all, reduce feeding ( 2 times each week small about), running phosguard (4 days only, afraid of aluminium leech), GFO ( still running ), Nopox, lights off 3 days. All seems not to work. Water source is Distilled water @ tested 4 TDS. My SPS are still growing, polyps are always extended, abit pastel in coloring. 

    My suspicion is either, phosphate leeching from dead rocks (Caribsea South Sea Base Rocks) or maybe sandbed. 

    What else can i do to eradicate this unknow algae issues? Could it be fuzzy bacteria infection mixed with NO3 and PO4? Gurus, do help. THank You

  5. You can buy potassium dihydrogen phosphate (kh2po4) locally. This increases both potassium & phosphate. This is commonly added for freshwater planted tanks.

    Is this the same as Seachem Flourish Phosphorus? I'm Concern if it will covert into nitrate when dosed into SW. Read randy recommendation to dose Seachem Phosphorus.. Stil considering.

    If you increase feeding it will increase your PO4 . But monitor and ensure it never overshot .

    As long as PO4 is between 0.03 to 0.05 is acceptable.

    If you have skimmer set it to wet skimming. This help to export your nutrient fast

    I'm not sure if increase feeding helps, as its does produce Po4, it contributes No3 as well.

  6. There is a Redfield ration of 160(Carbon):16(nitrate):1(po4) this is the ration of what the bacterials required to reduce nutrients

    thats the part where i dont think i have enough Po4

    Carbon dosing seems not to be working to reduce the nitrate but its working just to maintain the levels. Only water change does the job reducing it. It will take me months just to reduce nitrate levels to 1ppm...

    Trying to find a Po4 source without the presence of Nitrate.

    Cant find products such as brightwell Neophos (PO4 Supplementation for ULNS)

  7. Eventually I went back to Prodibio Digest and Bioptim dosing as my bacteria and carbon dosing. Achieved ULNS by doing so in the past. Been battling  High Levels of Nitrate since 3/4 weeks ago. Lucky enough I have low bioload. Will be doing another 50% water change at the end of this week.

    Is there any possibility that My tank actualy Restarted cycle when i was doing Carbon DOsing?

    How much does unbalanced PO4 and NO3 effect my carbon dosing.. As my understanding, to reducing nutrient via carbon dosing (vodka, vinegar, sugar etc) requires the present of PO4.

    Dino have been removed, turned off lightings for 3 days, fuge lighting 24/7 on, the dinos eventually grew on the cheato, i have hence remove them from the cheato.
