Arghhh .. not sure when this thing become super smelly like this, been using air freshener so, not really aware of that. Dunno how to describe the smell but its more like carpet basah ... haha.. so i tot it was my daughter fault! Poor them, the main culprit was from skimmer's waste collector. Not really sure why its become smelly like that.

I think the main reason for the smelly because of the bio pellet waste, i hope that the only cause. Been trying other culprit but there is none other that. So now its time for a solution for the problem. I'm not really have any idea how to remove the smell other than keep it always clean. Its sure will become a problem for me to keep clean the collection cup and waste collector.

But for now, i already clean both collection cup and waste collector. Cleaning a waste collector is not a problem even its everyday, but for collection cup its not really something i was eager to look for. Even tho i already clean it twice a month, i think its just not enough.

Anyway, i already put some carbon into the sump. Even tho i believe this will not really help reduce the smell, i just hope at least make my maintenance easier. At least i dun have to clean a collection cup in every week!

Well let see how long this will last... and i hope the smell/gas is not dangerous.

Been wondering why some of the coral specially brain coral not opening since couple months back. I'm not sure if this silly mistake was the culprit causing me lost my 1st coral(green bubble coral) but I've been checking all other parameter except salinity and always used my default ratio on salt water mix during water change.All other parameter (not including Ca and Mg) are ok.

This "default ratio" which i have been practiced quite sometime almost make me lost everything. This is related to slow increase salinity in every water changes. I just lucky not realise after all gone.

To cut story short, i was checking bout the water level regarding ATO (auto top off) and the effect of salinity. Bang!!! its off the chart!! No time wasted i just quickly doing water changed. Anyway I'm not decrease it in once short hopefully to avoid further coral stress. As for now the salinity is sg 1.026 ... will doing more water changes to lower it down to 1.023.

Conclusion don't ignore simple thing cause it can cost me dearly :D

Tengah best layan tido tengahari tetiba panas semacam jek... rupanya blackout daa. Ingat kan satu taman blackout. Dengan rasa diri hebat try tengok main suiz .. rupa nya sini off .. memang laa tak der letrik.

So try laa on .. dengan pantas dia off balik ... ampess confirm ada yg short circuit nih .. so 1st thing yg try mati kan suiz aquarium... selepas try on .. nampak nya aquarium yg buat hal ...

Setelah dibelek belek ... benda yg rosak nampak nya return pump. Since ada Rio HF 32 yg lama, try laaa pasang, mana tau leh jimat duit .. hheh.. nampak nya buang masa aje try pasang semua tu .. rio pon boleh blah.

Setelah gagahkan diri kejap .. tros gi Oceanic dan tak banyak cerita skip jenama pump lama @ cap ayam dan beli yg agak ok compare cap ayam tu.

Disebabkan pump baru ni Eheim Compact 5000 ada waranty 3 tahun ... kira ok lah tu .. kalau dia buat hal lagi hantar kasi warranty.

Apa apa pon nasib baik dia jadi skrang bukan masa kat kampung ... kalau tak lagi laa haru.. syukur
