A lot of senior reefers like Wayne Shang etc all use Lamotte test kits.But it is not available locally though.

Wah.. No need so high end lah... Stability is the key...

For example, if Salifert is off by 0.2 for KH where the correct reading shd be 9.6 instead of 9.4. It should not make a lot of difference as long as parameters are kept at extremely stable levels.

Hows the tank doing? All's fine?

You may want to watch the amount of lifestock in your tank (fishes + corals). Seems like you have been very aggressive in adding them when your tank first started.

You can invest in the probio products, those allows U to build up bacteria level in your tank rapidly and can help to stablise your ammonia and nitrate levels.

A note on NSW. After changing your current tank water with NSW, remember to adjust the parameters for CA, KH and MG. Essential to keep the corals thriving.

Tank is stable at least water not cloudy... Now hanging there with 4 damsels will "renovate" the tank ard Christmas time so stay tuned... :eyebrow:

FTS, btw how to remove the algae from the LRs?

U need to let your system stabilise/ mature. Reduce your feeding, feed lesser amt so no food will be stuck in the LR. Get some cleaning crew to help get rid of the algae initially. Run PO4 remover such as Sorb4 to absorb PO4 , and run carbon to "clean" the water. Since u have no corals, reduce your lighting period to slow down the growth of existing algae.

Suggested cleaning crew: Seahare, sea urchins (good at scraping off stubborn algae on ur LR), astrea snails.

Remember that the cleaning crew only helps to clear off the algae, you need to get to the root of this algae bloom. Improve your water quality.
