    SPS brown color when PO4 is 0?

    Thanks for all reply. My tank is < 24" wide and Im using Vertex Marino Bianco led PO4 = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 0 pH 8.1 P.S. I dose Fuel sometimes (twice a week) I suspect the PO4 level just = 0 when there is some macro algae which I agree with some of the replies here

    LED Kelvin temp for coral growth

    Hi All, I've read some article about the white kelvin temp for coral growth, they said it should be between 6500k and 6700k. My led light is 7000k will that affect the coral growth? I had a look many online shop (in australia) where pretty much all of them are 7000k...

    KH Calculation

    One thing I forgot is that 33.1L is included the displacement of the rocks ...etc (if I use the term correctly) maybe thats why the ans is slightly different

    KH Calculation

    Really thanks again. The value of 2.6L is estimated as I marked the water tank volume by each cm in height.... so yeah maybe thats why the calculation is slightly different. It is helpful

    Only some of the corals are bleching/ RTN

    Yeah.. just got the water ready and will do WC after this post.. I ended up spoke to LFS about the salt. Initially I thought seachem salt is seachem "flatship" product instead of aqua vitro, but then they said aqua vitro is the seachem better product within seachem... however they dont have the...

    Only some of the corals are bleching/ RTN

    Thanks for your reply first of all, I am not sure if it is the temp issue. However it is winter in here therefore during I setup the new tank I make sure both tank temp are not +/- 2'c diff and I also did water bath for the corals before I moved them to the new tank too. Right now the new tank...

    Only some of the corals are bleching/ RTN

    I want to provide another information: I got the Seachem Salt after I back from overseas and since then the tank KH dropped significantly (even in old tank). It used to be 11 KH but now only maintain around 9-10. At the same time Ca reading did not drop at all (in both old and new tank). Before...
