Got a question, rightnow am using about 4.5W/gal of lighting [existing hood w a 18W PL] is this ok for the run-in period? might change to a blue-white combination to hv a better color hue.

Do u mean during cycling? If so, I'll not even bother to on the lights during cycling.

Ah...I see. Sorry, didn't read properly. thanks for enlightenment.
Ya, this is definitely more reliable.
btw, is it available at the usual lmfs and roughly how much?

Off my head, I only know http://www.eaquanature.com/store/def...hp?cPath=40_60 have them.

got another doubt.
there are 4 metallic screws in the light hood holding a acryllic cover over the lights. For my previous FW use there wasnt any rust on it. would there be a corrosion problem with SW? and anyway of preventing rust dropping into the water if it does corrode? can i put an aluminium tape over it?

Eventually it will rush. Maybe try silicon over the screw instead.

for the MarineEnvironment Salt that i am using, there is a separate bottle that is included in the bag that contain additional elements.
I had actually used only a third of the salt as my tank is small.
For the liquid in the bottle, should i add all of them or in proportion with the amount of salt used.

Wat I used to do is to only add in the bottle solution after I used up a pack of salt.

Just to share m experience.

Try using all power effient equipment. Energy saving is one thing but the main point is it add less heat. A pump I luv is from Maxijet. Small, high flow and power efficient. Used it as wavemaker and to run my remorapro b4.

Ya. but the water stay mainly in 27 degree. Top up daily is alot!

Thanks for the idea of Maxijet.

Even with 1 AC fan, everyday have to cheers with the tank twice, once in morning b4 work, once at night when come home...
each time is 1 litre... kan pei...
