  1. Hmm ok thanks for yr advice!! will try it. My salinity is ok. seem slike the pump is not as powerful as it was...
  2. Hi all, I'm a newbie in this hobby, just started cycling my tank few days ago heh But i've got problems with the skimmer. I'm currently using a macro needle wheel as-100p bought from aquamarin. Yup hope you guys and big bros out there can give me advice or a tip or 2 thanks lots! 1) The ###### noise from the air inlet tube is erally quite loud and annoying. I have a small room. Thus if i leave it on lidat i cant really sleep haha. My friend adviced that i get a valve and decrease the inlet hole. It did lower the noise but i noticed the bubbling also decreased. Don't wanna decrease e efficiency of my skimmer. Anyone can help me out? 2) E skimmer was recently stuck as in completely not pumping. I gave it a few knocks and voila it got unclogged and started pumping again but the next day, I realised the bubbling is not as fantastic as I 1st started it. Even with the air valve fully opened. The bubbles don't seem to reach to the bottom of the cylinder. Hmm, is it something to do with the countercurrent mechanism failing? It's like the length of bubbles contacting water has "shortened". Anything i can do? Thanks so much guys
  3. Oh dear ok ok.. Luckily i bought Salifert as adviced by my buddy DragonGoby hee. Thanks for reminder

  5. Hi all, I'm a super newbie too haha. Just started my cycling process too. Hmm can i ask the big bros here, 1) Is it important to string up the rotting prawn? I just threw mine into the tank and it's lying on e sand bed now. 2) Is there anyway to increase the beneficial bacteria load? Other than packing my tank with live rocks. Hah btw, my tank is very small to put alot of LR in. It's 1.6 x 1.2 ft Thanks lots! Hope I'm not hijacking this thread cos I thot my qn is relevant to cycling of new tanks. Thanks again and Merry Xmas everyone!
