Neglected +2.5ft Tank?

 Partially neglected planted tank after all my time and energy are focused on reef tank. Glosso and L.Viet grow densely and thick. Time to give full trimming.

 Close up. This is about 1month of growth with BorneoWild Boost A.

 Trimming is easy with BorneoWild Wave Cutter.

 
 Layered of Glosso + L.Viet.

 Job done. Water a little cloudy since I pluck some of it. This is what happen when I am in the hobby for too long. I just don't care anymore. :D

 Snails are getting annoying in my tank and continue to breed like mad. Good bye snails!
*2ml once/twice weekly for every 50litres*

 Very well packed product.

 In addition to Snail Killer, I got myself Algae Destroyer and BBA Remover. I don't have any nuisance algae but both can be used as prevention cure too. Why not right?

Clear instruction provided behind the box. This is concentrated liquid hence the weekly dosing regime instead of daily.

Hanna Phosporus Checker ULR

Gotten this electronic checker to get better accuracy on Phosphate (PO4) reading compare to D-D Phospate Test Kit.

Test result 114 ppb (Phosphorus) from my shallow 5ft tank containing rocks soak in RO/DI water. Apparently the rocks are still releasing PO4 into the water. :(

Recommended PO4 for SPS tank would be 0 to 0.03 mg/L. Basically need to achieve max reading of 10ppb on my Hanna checker. Still far to go.....


Side by side D-D H2Ocean Phosphate test kit and Hanna Phosporus Checker (ULR - Ultra Low Range).

After reading and research, I managed to obtain formula to convert Phosphorus to Phosphate. Formula as per below:

([Phosporus (in ppb)] x  3.066) / 1000 = Phosphate (in ppm)

Taken my test result as example, it would be 114 x 3.066 / 1000 = 0.349.
