SRC Member inwear Posted March 22, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hi bro, your chaeto's holder seems to be powder-coated. Its better to get a plastic material instead for long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Daniel Poh Yang Zheng Posted March 22, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 22, 2015 Used this Sand Only posted it now as I was trying to go thru my items.. Just did a 10% water change today and 5% water change yesterday.. Maybe one more in two to three days time before I add in clean up crew.. Hopefully no2 level would have dropped.. What clean up crew will be good thinking abt 2 to 3 snails and a hermit if it is reef safe.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
