1. Resin exchange and their adv and disadv
2. RO filters and their uses in aquarium systems
3. Denitrators and their effectiveness in freshwater aquariums
4. Freshwater skimmers myths or truth?
5. Fluidised filter bed and their proper arrangements
6. UVC types and proper arrangements
7. Deep Sea bed Concept? possible in freshwater?
8. Refrugium in freshwater?
9. High Nitrates consumption plants

Guide to Additives:
1. S7
2. Aro Vital

Only if it's my fish I will be able to tell you why it's like this or like that cos I am with it for years, external and internal factors is in my finger tip.

exactly bro...its like asking ppl to guess how much u have in ur pocket

ppl will judge from external: the clothes u wear...the shoes u have...the way u speak

I must really salute u for the TLC on ur reds...u can provide them with the best possible situations or setups varying the elements

Many would just ask "Wats the best filtration?"

Kudos to u pal

that is why some time it's difficult to give advise unless I really sleep with the red for a week if not difficult lah. Can only give you an outline but not possible the details.

I think T28 problem is worry too much, want to learn too much but cannot disgest, try to tackle one at a time lah before this solution can perform he already change and try other liow. Like that how to learn, u tell him too much he lagi blur... too much changes wont do your fish any good. If this work than stick to it maybe can try other method when your fish is sick of the current filteration!

no lah...bro I was just playing around with the available resources...

my pattern always lidat, dun like to follow the crowd...try out myself and know it first hand better than ppl tell u gd/bad (gd for him maybe bad for u)

end of the day its my wife who enlighten me...give wat is needed and nothing more...too much of anything becomes excess

btw I am beginning to like bubble filters too...will try if can run on air tubes alone

Still as beautiful as ever. Cheersss

lolz...true...but he is very nice person

Info knowledge is gd for basics, knowing wat to apply is another

The way I analyse problems technically is always:
1. Observe
2. Test (using some test stripes to confirm whether there is significant changes)
3. Sort out details surrounding problems
4. Target weak pt and administer solution

Once in a while I will shift my fishes around to frenz house, other tanks, to let them get used to changes and test their tolerance to change
