Anyway, went to c328 to buy the Rio Nano Skimmer and it was the last set and turns out it was faulty.. had to go back for a refund and auntie say seldom come.. guess im sticking to my GeX L filter for now.

im thinking of getting Rowa Phos (to control po4) and seachem purigen (to control no3 and all the rest of not needed stuff) and put inside my HOB filter..

I also have 15 - 20 sticks of Biohome Plus spare.. should i throw inside the filter too?

Im running Rowa Phos in my spare 2213. works pretty well.
If filter has space, throw in lor. The more the merrier mah

i just upgraded my GeX filter to a Dolphin H-800. it 11" long and it sit in my 12" tank just nice.. huge space at the back.. can stuff more rowaphos and purigen liao.

Anyway do u dose goodbye po4? read that its very effective in reducing phosphate..

I upgraded my Gex filter to a Dolphin H-800 filter. its 1020L/hr and it seems to be providing quite a high flowrate (30x overturn) Do i still need a wavemaker?

Another question is that, i was given a harden read sea salt from another reefer.. but i went on to break it apart and add into my tank with DI water. its been running for 2 days but still milky/chalky.. any idea why?
issit because of precipitation?


This HOB provides quite a big space for additional stuff.. probably gonna add some biohome Plus, Rowaphos and purigen..


The 6x3w Beamswork LED is also very bright!!!

Impurities in salt? Try putting good filter wool in your HOB (the supplied one sucks) to trap the suspended debris.
