Thanks sahin,

AZOO and Prodac granules size zeolites were used, both of them mixed together and put inside a mesh bag. The mesh bag placed behind the overflow from display tank and changed 50g bi-weekly.

I uses BrightWell MB7 as the bacteria source before, but stop dosing when cyano out-break on March. VSV also stopped and only uses vinegar as single carbon source at this moment.

lilopop11,
Sorry, no DIY thread at this moment.
The two electronic ballast fasten on both side on the aluminium frame by rope belt that you can find it from photo before. Both of the ballast controlled by individual timer which makes two tube ON/OFF differ to the others two.
