    Yap, I use NTUC pure distilled water for WC and daily top up before I get the 4 stages DI filter. Quite costly I cannot sustain for long. Haha...

    With the filters then I use tap water as the source.

    Much cheaper to buy a RODI, heard some 3 stages are as good or better than 4. Really depends on the resin and filter. Not very eco friendly leh! :chair:

    Ok done testing, for reference only.

    Tap water
    TDS = 110 to 120
    Nitrite = 0.5 to 1ppm

    4 stages filtered DI water
    TDS = 10+
    Nitrite = 0.1ppm

    Boiled water
    TDS = 100+
    Nitrite = 0.1ppm

    NTUC pure drinking water
    TDS = 4
    Nitrite = 0ppm

    Based on the above result, I reckon to get 0ppm Nitrite in water is either I need to add 1 more carbon filter or to get TDS 0.

    Think just change the carbon filter bro. Just now I did a WC too. The water in my Jerry can is 48 although the filtered water in clean container I 001. Lol

  3. Trying to sell as much corals as I can as I’m doing a re-scape soon. Will post more pics over the weekend. Prices of the corals stated are what I have paid for or even lesser. Prices are slightly negotiable bt please do not lowball. Thanks. 

    If keen PM with HP and will provide more pics with prices.

    Bro u also using DI filter only?

    Yap always use the clean container to test.

    I just puzzle why got nitrite...

    Same as u. The 4 stages. I couldn’t get 0 TDS for the longest time. Changed carbon, resin still high TDS. In the end, the $5 filter solved the issue. Lol. 

    Sometimes I wonder why get the 4 stage when 3 gives 0 TDS too. So heavy and bulky....

    Yap, tap water.

    I'm using Salifert test kit.

    Or will it because sometime my TDS is not 0 that y causing this?

    1. Try to use a clean/new container and to store the water for testing. If the container is “dirty” can affect reading too.

    2. Sometimes my tds meter also kuku. Rinse and dry gently

    Let’s narrow down and trace the source slowly. Lol

    I will rescape. Because I will be looking at the tank everyday and wonder whether I should .........

     

    once u are done with it, you will

    be at peace with yourself. :)

     

    Thanks for the encouragement. Ur right, I need peace! Been thinking for weeks! LOL

  7. Hi guys, need some inputs. Should I do a rescape or just decomm and reset the tank? Current rock scape is pretty cramped for my liking. Tried My hand at making it a mixed reef. Current rock work is pretty tough with either too much flow or light for certain corals. Since tank is still young, i personally think this is the time to make it right. 

    What are your thoughts. All feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

    So proud of my baby Queen Angelfish..

    Go it when it was a tiny 1 inch baby, so worried that it wouldn't survive.. Most times it would just go missing and can't spot it in the tank.. It was even tinier than my juvenile clown fishes at that time..
