Nano Tanks Equipment and Maintenance

[obet_carlos]

i'd just like to have a small survey on what equipment local reefers use on their nano tanks.. also what methods do you use to control phosphate and nitrate.. sulfur denitrators, phosphate reactors, carbon, etc.. also the neo zeo method, how can we incorporate it to nano tanks since reactors are designed for big tanks..

subtank, carbon, phosban, and an over rated skimmer. and vodka dosing.

worth it ba ang macroalgae filtration? kasi nano tank nga, additional tank for fuge mean additional water volume.. means more saltmix for WC.. also during summer, pag may chiller na, more water to cool.. mahal kasi ng saltmix pang reef eh..

in my case useless, kasi nagvovodka ako, nauubos cheato ko. kaya pinamigay ko na din. nagadd nalang ako more liverocks for added surface area.

hmmm.. good point sir.. what can you suggest a set-up na gagamitin ko para dun sa nano ko?
skimmer (nw110) lang sa sump? tapos po4 and carbon in a reactor? ok na kaya yun? balak ko kasi mag lps-sps.. 2-2 fishes lang.. kaso may SC ako na pinapakain palagi..

wag m ako i-sir obet big subtank with skimmer and a few wavemakers sa maintank. pag mag feed ka turn on m wavemaker sa display tank.tapos off muna return para masulit food. tapos on mo ung return after a few minutes, then tama na siguro un skimmer na un. tama lang un na malakas. tapos vodka. carbon reactor maganda din and phosphate reactor. kasi heavy feeding eh. and if kaya mo after mo pakain wag m muna on return. WC ka muna kahit unti. bago mo i on return pump. para kayanin. and dapat equal ang pag feed mo, d pwede may time na madami may time na unti, para un bacteria population stable din. kasi pagnabigla pwede pa din mag algae bloom. and lastly, IMO,wag na sps,hehe mahirap kasi, ung pag feed m sa suncoral ay magpopollute ng tubig, which is detrimental to the sps.

MB7 obet FTW!

[obet_carlos]

paano ba yan? hindi ko na magets yung mga bagong method eh.. hehe!

I have been using MB7 and reef bio fuel with my tank but it seems to get red slime and cyano every end of the week before I perform my water change. My skimmer picks up a lot of dark stuff but I'm guessing the bacteria is not enough to absorb the nutrients. I even dose a little bit more of mb7 after feeding. I don't know if dosing more actually promotes algae.

Does anyone have experience on this?

I'm also currently using carbonit-P and Phosphat-R and they seem to work pero kulang pa rin.
