Hi Chingchai,

Look's like your PO4 is very low, why you start running phosphate remover?

Yes, my PO4 is so low. But I still have some unwanted algae.
That's why I want to try using this remover.

My new stuff: Acrylic frag platform
Frag station from Reefdepot http://www.reefdepot.com.sg/AddProduct.asp?ProdID=1137

Oh no, this stuff is bad. I have personal experience with it.
Check out Eric Borneman's sticky on his Marine depot forum.

Hi Quoc,

How are you?
Let me know when you come to BKK.

Its hasn't really been identified, even by experts, but thrives on strong light, high flow, and even survives despite low nutrients.
So far I have had limited success with a foxface. Others have had some success using urchins.

A few weeks ago my girlfriend and I visited Thailand. I won't mention the great country and the friendly people here, but I want to mention the visit we payed to Ching and his tank. Impressive!

The fish selection was also really impressive: Z. rostratum, Z. gemmatum, N. helfrichi, Pseudocheilinus ocellatus, Centropyge interruptus, een C. resplendens et cetera

Ching, thanks again for your hospitality!

Hi Tanne,

Thanks for posting my tank pics.
You are always welcome to my house.
It's good to know your fish likes my food.

Thanks so much for the links.

I hope to visit Netherland in one day.

Cheers,
Ching

I didn't see your question. Sorry.
The platform is custom-made from local shop.
