    U can run a fr with gfo media like rowaphos to absorb phosphate from ur tank. Btw ur po4 reading is ok, dun hv to lower any further. What are u using to read po4?


    Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

    I'm alr running a fr with rowa phos.  But my po4 readings are not stable, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. Using a hanna checker to check. Is it because my no3 readings are undetectable?

    Too much cleaning up around the house after rescaping.  Will probably not rescape anytime soon. Next rescape will be done when I upgrade!:yahoo:

    wow... I admired your bravery. I'm also a silent viewer. I have a 3ft tank but keep mainly fishes and abit of Yuma. My tank looks pale in comparison with yours. However I like to do rescaping to my tank and have started preparation for that. But still I'm worried I might kill my live stock. Any advise?

    Fortunately this time round I had no corals that died on me, only lost of colours. My rocks were out of water for around 2 hours. That probably was one of the factors why my tank went through another cycle. I did a larger then usual water change(almost 3 times as much) and complemented it with half a bottle of fritz live bacteria. 

  4. Just sharing my ssc before a kh swing in my tank , it was a pretty bitch until recently before i rescape, my tank went through a kh swing where kh dropped as low as 4.5 dkh.

  6. Hiyo people!:yahoo:

    I am in this hobby for more than 1 year, have always been a silent viewer to learn from the rest of the peeps here. 

    I have a 4X 2 X 2 ft. 

    I have rescaped my tank on some time end of Jan 2017 and basically went through a mini cycle so im now facing the algae issue again. :(

    With my new scape, i think it might be a good time to start logging my activities and progress of my tank while trying to combat the algae issue. 

    Well, here we go.
