  1. Bro weilong

    Tank size 4x2x2 .

    Net water volume should approx 100 gallon

    Using the whole pack of zeovit for about 3-4 weeks already.

    Dosing 4-6 drops of Zeobak for the first 14 days

    Dosing 6-8 drop of Zeofood everyday. Reduce to 2 drops for the past 4 days.

    Started dosing 2 drops of amino acid everyday for the past week.

    Before using zeovit, there's no red slime. But there's some green cyno around. Nitrate are about 50ppm then. Lighting are on 8 hours daily.

    Parameter of water are fine now. Red slime starting to cover rocks now.

    Ultraslime get from where? if stop dosing then red slime will come back??

    Stop dosing the amino acid. Your tank has not reach stage 3, dosing of aminoacid concentrate now will cause the slime.

  2. Dam you did not tell me that before LOL lets play one day at a lan shop :P

    I used to play ladder game but only top 1000.. Hehe always using a fleet of carrier :P

    Anyway World of warcraft beta has close and the download took me 3 days.!!!! :angry:

    :lol::lol::lol: Carrier craze...beware the scouts.

  3. No probelm with SPS.

    I believe they are changing color one after another. To adept , the change in MH K and change salt.

    In past 4 weeks, I changed MH K' and 95% water change ( to change salt to TM ).

    My SPS were turning from dark brown to light brown than to light pink ( most of them, some goes to milky white ). While they are changing color, NO Poly extension, after reach to Light Pink/Milky White than Poly start come out again. Most Poly are white while some blue some green.

    So far I am happy with result from SPS, because most of them are come back from STN :). So I believe what I had done should be quite alright, now problem with PO4.

    milky white? You must be really good if this is not bleaching. Many of us cannot keep this colour.

  4. 2 cubes sounds like alot to feed. It would help if you gave us a list of how many fishes you keep and your total tank volume.

    Most of us are not using that brand of phosphate absorber so i cannot comment on how good it is. Do you see a drop in phosphate readings after you change out the absorber?

    letting the water age will not remove phosphate, it will not even remove chloramine.

    Green colour mud is not enough. You should consider changing to a better skimmer.

    Also, most hobbist testkit can only detect orthophosphate. So your actual phosphate readings is much much higher.Anything above 0.3 will seriously inhibit calcification.

  5. I read somewhere that to reduce PO4, reduce Poto periods, feeding.... on RC if I am not worng.

    I am not having any problem with SPS coloring, just want to reduce PO4 to below 0.5PPM.

    So back to the track, how to reduce PO4.

    That is to remove cyano if im not wrong. PO4 is introduced into the tank mainly through feeding and the decomposition of detritus. It has nothing to do with lighting periods. Some phosphate is also introduced into the system when you change water without any purification.

    The main ways to reduce phosphate are to reduce feedings, use phosphate absorbers, and to use a better skimmer.
