Ah ha!!

Finally you share here thanks.

Now I know why you sell all your canister.
Anw how often you change/wash your sponge?

If I change the sponge after replacement do I need to dose psb?

Hi Bai, i understand PSB requires light and hence canister is not suitable? Also, what kind of shrimp food do you use? thanks

I only wash my sponge when it's choke. If u change sponge, I advise if it's a twin sponge change 1 at a time and dose bacteria.

Previously I'm using canisters and sponge filter together, also using this psb bacteria.

Shrimp Food I'm using Ebita (spinach, quatro 2, Hinomaru Bentou)

my shrimp don't really like the quatro2.
I usually stop feeding them for 1 day before feeding this.

Do you face this problem?

i have been using bactermax (bb) and mineralmax from CRS haven. Have been getting sub-optimal level of about 100 TDS with the recommended dosage for mineral max. Also, my bactermax is running out. Thinking of changing over to your "recipe", ie psb and the nutrafin conditioner. Any issue for a mature tank if i change over to a new bacteria and mineral solutions?.

Also, is there a recommended TDS level change per day without detrimental effects on the CRS ? Thinking of dosing to about 140-150.

thanks
