  13. Hi bro, I am no expert but i think you need to check on your no3 and po4.used to be hit by this irritating algae.
  14. Did a test today and here are the results: Temp : 27.6 Salinity: 1.25 NH3 : 0 NO2 : 0 NO3 : 5ppm (i still can't get rid of it!so sad.) Ca: 450 Kh: 8.0 Mg: Not tested Ph: Not tested So with this result,i have yet to on my dosing pump.but i'm wondering do i need to improve on elsewhere?i know my nitrate are still present.i will try and monitor it till next week with a water change.hopefully to make it 0.
  15. The chiller its here!hs-28a.bought from a freshwater bro who use for 7 to 8 months only.condition good and pretty silent.time to lower down the 30.3 degress of water.please ignore the phone.was finding place to put it but nowhere now.hopefully wifey dont make noise.
  16. So after 20days of cycling,parameters seem to be all good.saw feather worm starting to bloom.time to try a few damsels.went to T95 and bought 3 cute baby dominos.i am praying that they don't fight.
  17. Skimmer working well,brown substance for the first 2 weeks but seems to be skimming nothing thereafter.
  18. So after 2 weeks of decaying prawn (the old tradition way) for cycling and daily dose off microbacter7,decided to do some test.nitrite and ammonia at 0 but nitrate is at 5 to 10ppm.i dont have enough space to make a refugium in my sump since its a small sump for 1.5ft cube.now trying to change water to see wether it could reduce the nitrate to 0ppm..hhhmmm
  19. There's no update till today.Just pouring some bacteria once a day for 2 weeks as recommended by the bottle.patient..patient..
  20. thanks bro!i've seen your old tank and it was great.have yet to see your new tank and i read from here,it seems to be getting better every time.
  21. thansk bro!will change the rubber hose when i get the chiller.now i keep on looking at the hose everytime.i dont want my house to flood.
  22. Anyway,got a good big rock from my beloved friend who decided to decomm his 1.5ft cube.also got my own rock from my pico tank and combine it.add some sand and water.ready to cycle and at the same time looking out for a good chiller and dosing pump.a month of painful waiting.ocassionally on the light,wave maker off and skimmer on.
  23. hi bro.thanks! yup its a rubber hose and it took me an hour to fit the hose all the way to the pvc pipe.super tight.now that you say it,i'm abit worried right now. Not sure whether you can see it but thanks for the advise!will learn more and be better from here.
