  1. Please advise me on how long do I have to on the light for my cheato? :unsure:

    Have been running with 24hrs of lighting for the past 3 days. :pinch:

    Is this necessary? (Waste of electricity!!) :unsure:

    If not require, kindly advise on the hours that the cheato need. :thanks:

  2. So I will remove all my coral chips in my sump this weekend....??...... :unsure:

    My setup will left with:

    3FT Main tank with Fishes and LRs>>

    Mechanical filter, Bio-Balls-

    Sump:

    1st compartment - Another Mechanical filter (No more Coral Chips)>>

    Center comartment - Chaetos only (No sand and No LR)>>

    Last compartment - FR, Skimmer, Chiller, UV, Return Pump to Main Tank.

    Will this type of setup for the sump enough???? :unsure:

    Please advise.. :thanks:

    Miss out something:

    3" Sand Bed in the Main Tank but no sand in the Sump.

    Used to have LPS but all cannot make it due to high PO4 and NO3. :unsure:

    Left with Fishes, Mushrooms and Clams. :upsidedown:

  4. Ya, I know the purpose of coral chips are for bacteria to grow. But nitrate will also build there right?

    So you want nitrate or bacteria?

    If I remove all my coral chips in my sump, I will remove most of the nitrate but how about my bacteria>>

    BTW my NO3 and PO4 are very high. Trying very hard to bring them down.

  5. Can Chaetos go without DSB in the sump??

    And what's the purpose of the DSB??

    Lastly, why coral-chip have to be removed??

    Currently, my Sump Tank:

    1st compartment - Coral Chip

    Center comartment - Chaetos only (No sand and No LR)

    Last compartment - FR, Skimmer, Chiller, UV, Return Pump to Main Tank.

    Is my SetUp OK?? :thanks:

  6. Just installed a Fluidizer FR-100 with Aquapharm SORB-4 media(PO4 absorber). Being running for 2 days already.

    How long will it take for the PO4 to drop to near zero?? :unsure:

    KH- 10

    Ph- 8.2

    CA- 500+

    PO4- >2.0

    Temp- 26 deg
