Its now only a pump each.. forgot to mention.. slowly increasing to MAximum 3 pumps of K and 2 pumps of excel.
Considering it is an iwagumi i don't need much in the system.

yes Tom,
I find this set-up.. incredibly fast comparing to my other set-ups ...
Must be the lights.. (124watts at max.)

Thats great. Any chance of showing us how you made that surface skimmer?

 

[Chuppy]

Hey Foo, :lol:
I didnt make that , unfortunately.
I bought it from an LFS.. it is a nano surface skimmer.. I'm not too sure if you can find it in the states.. but in Asia you can... Will try to find an online picture/fact on it for you though..

Nice Iwagumi, I am always like the simple design, but........not in my tank:smow:
Sometimes, I like to see more green, so didn't manage to setup Iwagumi at home.\\/
I have seen LFS selling the nano surface skimmer, I found it too white in color, didn't buy it because of that.

Try looking up the brand DYmax... should be available in the states.

-wait a minute.. arent you from Penang too?

Yeah, not many people would attempt iwagumis... due to their over-simplicity and hardscape preference..

Thanks for the comments !

Thanks guys for your kind compliments!!

To date::

I cannot add amano shrimp since there is a trace of pesticides in the tank... therefore dead shrimps... and hair Algae! everywhere!

Added 3 SAE's... 6 Ottos.. 19 Ruby tetras.. and 10 White clouds...

I hope i can get the algae under control a.s.a.p.

Advice needed and thanks.

Why are there pesticides in the tank?
You can try treating the algae with h2o2

Can you elaborate in the H2O2 treatment? Dose? Is is spot treatment or whole tank? Is is safe for inverts and fish?
