c0ol,

:thanks:

Firestarz,

Tank is ugly now.

Take a peek from the above shots.

Monki,

Didn't intent to go but saw it was low tide on the bus ride back so

just hop onto bicycle & hoped to get some stuff b4 the tide turns in.

By the way, some kid spotted a sea snake.

I was on high alert all the time while combing.

So afraid that i'll get a surprise attack from it.... <_<

nakazoru,

Due to the uncontrolled Phosphate & Silicate in using declorined tap water for water change. The algae is growing outta control. So my turbo is bought cheap & got its deco in my tank.

Hope to see improvement after getting the DI unit.

Thinking of rescaping the tank to allow better flow.

Still planning. :D

DI units is not the only way out of the PO4 problem.

My current top-off uses distill water but still have algae problem. I running rowaphos also still got same problem. Next I may try the correct food for fishes as that the other places where PO4 is introduced.

PO4 from food !?

Hm.... It a never ending battle to keep our tank water clean....

:lol: Oh well .....

If too easy then no kick.

Thanks for the tip.

But how to check if food have PO4 !?

Put in distilled water & do test !? :nuke:

I believe the ingredients used is on the bottle. Anyway I'm going for formula 1 and 2 when the current food finish.

Firestarz,

??? Seio ??? U wanna compare that with my tunze mini ???

The mini tunze is only 300l/h, i use it at the back for some flow.

Since my mushies all came off their rocks, i dun use the tunze in front.

Update, 1 of my fire just died. Maybe couldn't take the stress of the

rescape last night.... :angel:
