Good Day all Reefers, I'm in my 23rd days of cycling using brightwell aquatics starter kit. Anyone ever uses this kit before ? First Day, dose Ammonia to about 2ppm follow by Microbacter Start XLM. Till now, my Ammonia is 0, Nitrites constant 1ppm for 2 weeks and nitrates about 20ppm. Is it normal ? After my Ammonia drop to 0, been dosing daily to 0.5MM till now. The next day my ammonia will drop to 0 but my nitrites is always 1 ppm and nitrates 20ppm constant. Has my cycle comes to a stall ? I know 23 days of cycling is nothing, but reviews claims it can quick cycle w

Got some works done over the few weeks. 1. The back of the cabinet have same water damage and got it fabricated at Ban Heng Long. Took off my old plywood, pass to them and they will cut to dimension. Reasonable price. originally was 4 MM and upgrade to 9 MM. 2. Common issues with door, over time rust build up on both hinges and will stain on the white PVC.

yah, was reading some article about denitrifying bacteria living deep within the rock called anaerobic bacteria. They are very different with nitrifying bacteria. Often the latter bacteria thrive well hence we seldom have ammonia or nitrite issues. If we do, i think we really got to look into the Biomedia or are we having enough biomedia load. Was doing quite abit of research on the mechanical media and these are the few popular product, BioHome, Seachem Matrix and Marinepure. Marinepure was out cause it will breakdown on long run and report says it will leak out some chemicals. Not sure

Thanks First setup was a failure. Now trying with sump

Good Day reefer, been in this hobby for few months. Initially on a 1.5 ft cube with cannister Fluval 207. Tank cycling was a failure cause i was too rush in setting up. Landscaping was crap and few weeks back got a cyanobacteria Boom that never goes away. Now i got a real good deal from fellow reefers for a N30 2 FT cube with sump. Going to update my daily update here.
