Nice corals ... U are Gd at keeping , can share abit of tips , u have many fishes n many beautiful sps ... How to cope with high bioload ?

Thanks for your kind words..

First of all, an overpowered skimmer is a must..

Mine is a older model of BM which output is 2000L/H, compared to my tank capacity which is around 600L. That is about 3 times more. This will greatly remove the dissolved organic compounds in the tank.

Secondly, to cope with the high nutrients, I have a refugium compartment filled with macroalgae like chaeto, Caulerpa prolifera and Gracilaria, which shows massive growth throughout. A shot of my sump tank earlier illustrate that..

Thirdly, I do a 5% water change weekly by siphoning out those unwanted debris on the base of the tank.

I am using ultra filtered seawater when SG level are too low.

When it's higher, DI water is used. But nowadays I just use tap water for water change. Don't try this @ home!!!

I have checked that my tap water is around 100ppm, although not ideal, but i works for me..

Other than that, I also have Rowaphos to keep PO4 at check, as well as carbon for absorption, which I replace them averagely every 3 months.

Hope it helps.. :rolleyes:
