brainy

is it my eyesight.. or is that bleaching..

using tap water with seachem prime only. cheers

If u dont have RO/DI system, buy Life Distilled Water at NTUC... 2 x1.5L bottles = 95cens

For ur algae issue, Its becoz of u using tap water with just seachem prime.

I dont really think that cleaners do much work. They are controllers but they are slow.

GBPo4, i dont really know how it works, i tried using it in my nano last time, but my tank still have massive algae growth.

.

I would highly recommend u to buy a FR to run RowaPhos which u can hang it outside of the IOS.

FR+Rowaphos really helps, it removes Po4 n preventing Algae to consume them. I got mine free of algae within 1 week.

If u dun want to have an FR, just use it in the filter bag provided, and dump it at a high flow place.

But i still suggest using a FR coz rowaphos does better in a reactor.

if i buy distilled water must buy at least 40 bottles a month.heavy...

I used to do the same thing as u, adding dechlorinator to tap water for top up and salt water mixing. In the end all my rocks has to be throw away due to the massive algae invasion. Had to spend even more on buying live rock and nsw change.

u can order that bottled water at fairprice website..

1 carton of 12s 1.5L is $5.90..

Delivery charge

$10 for $60 spent or below

$7 for above $60..

If u need like 40 bottles = 4 cartons (48)

I will be like $34.40

Its a better money spent rather then trying to get Algae off by buying addictives....

If u wanna save alot of money... Maybe at the moment u use DI Bottle water, save up some cash n get a RO/DI unit...
