20g tank - Valenzuela (Newbie)

[seth]

Mataas na talaga nitrate mo dahil god knows how long na nakatambak yan sa pinagkunan mo na shop. Besides, nung binili mo yan maaaring natapos na yung cycle pero naulit lang uli dahil sa sobrang dami ng dieoff mo.

Hindi lagi na masusunod yang elevated ammonia depende pa rin yan sa kung anong klaseng bato ang ginamit mo.

Don't confuse yourself, yaan mo na lang muna yung tank mo na balansehin yung sarili niya.

Anyway pag nag WC ka, lahat ng values ng nitrogen at phosphorous (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate at phosphate) bababa. Unless marumi yung mismong tubig na ginamit mo for WC.

Sana di na madagdagan yung mga casualties mo. Maliban sa gastos eh sayang talaga kung mamamatay lang sila.

maraming salamat master seth! yaan mo po at hindi ko talaga ginagalaw ung tank ko ngaun kahit sobrang naiinip na ko hehehe.. sa ngaun LR and LS na lng naman nito, magttop off na lng ako ng tubig mamaya need ko pa bumili ng RO... sir ano silbi nung bioptim? nilagyan ko kasi ung tank ko last week nung nirestart ko to sabi good bacteria daw to? napansin ko rin ung mga LR ko may mga part na namumula pati ung ibang part ng tank mismo.. tama ba na algae to?

Tagal pa yan bro. Di pa 0 nitrites and nitrates are still off the charts. Hehe. halos sabay tayo nag cycle. Tyaga tyaga lang. Plan your equipment, lighting, filtration, nutrient reduction techniques para di ka mainip.

until these companies that sell bacteria in a bottle or any hobbyist for that matter, could post a controlled study to prove the efficacy of these products, I'm not buying them.

[Excalibur26]

update lng po..

got 5 nassarius snails from Fevmarine last Monday and added them to the tank together with my blue fin damsel. Already scraped the diatoms from the glass and did cleaned up the equipment. Later today will do a 20% water change that was already aerated since last night.

now trying to find turbo snails... may idea po ba kau kng san makakabili neto bukod sa carti?

puro damsel sa size ng tank mo pati sila pa unang fish yari yung mga susunod mong idadagdag dyan

yung corals bro halos patay na lalo na yung brain most part namuti na saka puro skeleton nalang wala ng flesh. yung goniopora even yung mga sanay na at may proper equipment di tumatagal yan eh

btw bro valenzuela lang din ako sa malinta exit banda

[mindfreak]

yung bowtie damsel mo bro na juvi, when it grows old it will turn into pure black. just a heads up lang. so cherrish its good look while it's young.
