    Hi Jeebusai,

    Phos minus look like Rowa phos. Only it is cheaper and cleaner.

    Chemi pure is liquid chemical? 

    Chemi-pure blue comes in a mesh bag. Supposed to work like a all in one. Reduce phosphate, Maintian PH, carbon. Lol

    phos minus don’t need reactor right? See u putting in a bag at the flow area. I see people using ROWA in reactors.

    Tonite measure PO4 for new tank is 107. Never go down. Phos minus exhausted already.

    Tomorrow will change new phos minus.

    NO3 is 5 ppm

    Bro can check with u. Does phos minus works like Chemi-pure? Currently using Chemi-pure. Looking for alternatives to reduce algae further. Thanks.

    HAHA sorry guys for disappointing!! The tank itself will be delivered on Sunday instead of today ... but the cabinet came!!! Heres some pics of just the cabinet alone . I had vincent include a dry area to put all my power bars and controllers to keep the sump nice and tidy

    Nice cabinet. I like the dry space for Controllers. I’m using double side tape to stick at the side which is protruding, not very sightly.....lol. Are you going to add cabinet doors or the sump is open concept?

    I don't think its an overkill. The beauty of the Hydra is that its modular - and there is a lot of flexibility of placement. And able to bring old equipment over when you upgrade (eg. my 3 units of Hydra26 were brought over from my previous 3ft tank)
     
    You can get the config files here : http://www.aquaillumination.com/file/signature/ai-signature-leonTan.aip
    You can also get settings of other tank size & set up from here : http://www.aquaillumination.com/signature/
    Its possible to 'preview' the settings by clicking on the timing green box to bring up the intensity dialog box.

    I feel that light settings should not be dependent whether a tank is 'new' or not but rather about having the right light intensity/duration vs coral type & placement.
    Once the light setting is roughly about right, water condition plays a bigger role in algae growth (eg. nitrage, phosphate, dosing supplements such as liquid food, amino acids or trace elements). Let's troubleshoot this. I'll reply in your thread.


    Thanks for the reply bro. I actually tried all the settings recommended on the AI website. Current light settings were “inspired” from there. As I don’t have much shade and still a greenhorn on the placement of corals. Have to trail and error. Need to thank you again for helping on my password rest for my lights. lol.

    When setting my lights, was using ur advice on the estimated proportion of blues and UV. Only diff I took out the white. Realized it makes my Algae bloom.

    No hurry bro. When ur free lol. Thanks

    Never used red sea product so not too sure.

    Your kh issue,
    long term - dosing or calcium reactor.
    Short term - raise using kh powder(1dkh a day is safe)

    If tank is consuming kh then having dosing or calcium reactor can help buffer your kh at your desired level.

    Currently, manual dosing liquid Red Sea Foundation B at a dosage to raise about 1 dKH. Bought a wifi doser to test but haven’t use yet. Maybe will out in action soon. Thanks bro!

    Someone asked about my light configuration. No change from the last update.

    4 Hydra 52 HD & 3 Hydra 26 (1HD + 2 non HD brought over from my old 3ft tank). 

    Tank is 5 x 2.5 x 2ft with euro & top center brace. Hope this helps.

    Power man! Is it overkill? Can show pictures of ur light settings? Currently using 2 X AI 26 HD. Can’t really ramped up yet. Have algae issues when I ramp up the lights too much. Guess tank too new.

    Adding pods into the tank. Culture is not too dense though :(  This is from about 2 tau huey tubs.

     

    Weary of rusty clothes pegs. Using plastic clips now.  

     

     

    Hi bro. What pods are u adding. Always wanted a mandarin goby. Still waiting for tank to be more mature with stable pod population.

    7 secs a a bit too long for sure will mess up your sand. Go for shorter pulse. Alternate the pulse between gyre a and b.

    Thanks bro. I go and trail and error tom. Any thoughts on my dKH? Initially had problem maintaining magnesium. Now dKH drops pretty fast. Btw when I does the Red Sea foundation B. Sometimes I get this white flaky thingy when it touches the water. Takes a while to dissolve.

    Using gyre controller? Try alternating gyre in pulsing mode. Gives a good back and forth motion and some turbulence all around the tank.

    Currently using 30% pulse and 7 secs for both a and b. Any settings to recommend bro

    Bro you got 2 gyre...canot be you not getting much flow.


    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro


    I tried a few settings. If I turn it up, too much flow the sand fly around. Let me rephrase, dead spots lol.

    Now that I put it at back of tank. The sandbed right below the gyre has no flow.
