WATER PARAMETER UDPATES…..
WATER PARAMETER UDPATES"¦..
OK guys, I'm just back late last night and corals seems fine at first glance.
However my driver report to me that I got my first carpet surfer (not sure which one as he told me it was pink so could be either my Skunk Tilefish or one of my Anthias) and also my PBT didn't make it.
He is found pin to the rock work "“ I think my Purple Tang just didn't like him and each time my PBT comes out, he will chase it back into the rock works :mad2:
Anyway quickly did my 10% WC and check my water params as below:
"¢ Temperature "“ 26.2 degree C (light on)
"¢ Salinity Gravity "“ 35ppt (Calibrated refractometer - 53ms Pinpoint Solution)
"¢ NO3 "“ 0.00 (Salifert Test kit "“ same as last same)
"¢ PO4 "“ 0.00 (D&D Test kit "“ same as last week)
"¢ dKH "“ 8.5 (API test kit "“ up from last week 7.5)
"¢ dKH "“ 9.0 (Elos test kit "“ up from last week 8.0)
"¢ Ca "“ 420 (Salifert test kit "“ same as last week)
"¢ Ca "“ 430 (Elos test kit "“ up from last week 410)
"¢ Mg "“ 1260 (Salifert test kit "“ up from last week 1170)
"¢ Mg "“ 1300 (Elos test kit "“ up from last week 1250)
"¢ Potassium "“390 "“ 400 range (Kz Test kit "“ same as last week)
MY Mg is now at the level, which I want but somehow my dKH is a little high?? Not sure if this is cause by Mg supplement I dose over the 2 weeks to raise my Mg slightly?? Anyway, will keep a close eye and slow down my bubble count a little.
NO3 and PO4 are doing real well keeping at zero level. My K+ level are doing really well with this salt mix.

T5 Replacement Tubes
T5 Replacement Tubes
Meanwhile I decided to pick up a couple of T5 tubes as my HK reefer friend there could get some decent discount as I figure my T5 will be due out for a exchange by year-end anyway.
First thing I did was to unwrap the tubes to see if all arrived safely. So far all arrived in one piece.
My friend did a great job in getting those wrapped up really well with lots and lots of bubble wrapped!!
Basically the same mix, except no ATI Actinic as I plan to replace this with VHO by year-end.

A Reef In The Sky
Looking good Ed!!! Sorry to hear about one of the fish
With colour improvements in those two corals... it means we all need a new FTS!! :lol:
Glad the tubes arrived safely :bounce1: :bounce2: :bounce3: :dance:

GHL PROFILUX CONTROLLER IS BACK IN ACTION
GHL PROFILUX CONTROLLER IS BACK IN ACTION
My GHL controller is finally back two weeks ago but only got time to install it last night.
Actually is was ready a month ago but as I have a friend going to Singapore (and wanted to save me some shipping fees) I decided to wait for my friend to bring it back for me.
Found out one of my Ph probe and my conductivity probe is not working. However as my Singapore distributor is out of stock for GHL conductivity probe, I decided to order Neptune System Conductivity probe instead. (much cheaper too) as I was told it uses the same port as GHL
However, upon closer inspection I notice that the conductivity port for Neptune is different?
Neptune pin port:
of GHL BNC Port:
Will see if I can exchange out my faulty GHL Conductivity BNC port with the Neptune pin port?? Anyone done something like this before?? Any advice??
Meanwhile, I hook up the rest of the probes accordingly.
Now finally I can start seeing what my Ph in my tank is LOL
Ignore the reading as the probes was just in (after calibration) when I took those pictures"¦
I've not configure the computer to do anything apart from reading the water params only at this moment as by the time I finished hooking those up it was close to 3am in the morning and I got to get to work at 7am!!

WHAT AM I?
WHAT AM I?
OK, another "œWhat am I" question"¦.
Nice eye-candy"¦.
This should be simple. Let's see how good the fish knowledge is out there"¦.!! :lol:
And my probe readings is starting to stabilize
pH 1 = probe inside my Ca Rx
pH 2 = probe inside my sump tank
:rollface:
