Uwaaa .. my tank running without a skimmer right now.Rosak since 2 days ago.. nothing much i can do for now, my life very damn busy within this month. I hope can buy a new pump by this weekend, hopefully.
Some people not actually running skimmer if they have algae turf, but i'll not follow thier footstep because these 2 thing have different purpose.
I might be looking to a new wave maker also .. if pocket allowed me to do so ... its still early to say that anyway.. lets go to LFS first.

Amphipods population now take over some of the area in my sump. Is it bad? i dun think so .. i just hope they can grow more .. buat kampung kat situ .. now their movement very limited i think. If they move to other section, they will end up in my wrasse stomach. Thats a good news for me dun have to feed my wrasse down there :D
So what is amphipod? do i have any picture of them in my sump? hell no .. its very small to capture using my super classic camera :D, maybe this picture can give some ideas how this little creature looks like.
Their population been there for quite sometimes now. The only new thing i realize mostly of them now reside at my Algae Scrubber area. Not sure if they eat the algae, maybe they do and maybe not. But most articles said its suitable place for pod breeding, so hope they can breed more. The other section only have a super small amphipods which hardly can be seen anyway and i dun even know is it pod or bubles :D
Since there are good for fish, i mean fish love to eat this :D .. macam makan udang agak nya.. do we need to speed up this creature population? My answer simply no if using supplement food to speed up cause it will polute the water even more! I'm prefer to let them populate by themself .. no need to forced them to breed :D ... let them enjoy hidup bujang .. ehhehe
So let them have a happy live like u do ;)

What the hell??? cipan apa tu sump? ehehhe... jumlah ke? .. ahha.. tu SUM lah not SUMP!
Mungkin sejenis ikan? apa kejadah nya ikan... sump dalam kata mudah tempat untuk letak filter media, biasanya dibuat daripada kaca bersamaan dengan aquarium jugak.
So bila tengok kat bawah aquarium ada aquarium kecik dan mempunyai beberapa compartment .. itu lah sump nama dia, bukan katak.. bukan juga aquarium kedua yang tak berguna!
Jadi apa kegunaan sump? kegunaannya samalah macam description dia.. tempat letak filter media! .. heheheh. Senang citer kegunaan nya adalah:
Selain daripada tu .. takkan nak letak carbon dalam main aquarium plak .. tak ke kelakar nama dia .. tetiba ada 1-2 bag carbon dalam tu .. isskkk.. nak letak skimmer pon senang .. inside/outside sump not a problem since ease of plumbing to skimmer. Kalau letak kat dalam aquarium .. dah lah serabut ngan pump untuk skimmer .. then will lead to bubble problem (from skimmer).
Tu blom lagi kalau nak buat algae scrubber, RDSB, FR atau pon CR .. isskk memang lah menyusahkan diri .. benda mahal boleh beli... nak buat sump tak boleh .. hehehe
Yeah its optional! .. for me its a must .. dah try 2-2 dan amatlah nyusahkan kalau tak der sump.
Mungkin jawapan bila tak der sump adalah malas nak buat lubang kat aquarium! .. duss mungkin tak blaja Fizik dulu masa kecik kecik .. heheh.. benda ni senang jek nak solve dengan buat overflow pipe/box. Kalau tatau fizik pon tak per .. leh tanya pocket jek .. beli jek ready made overflow box (cost tatau, tak pernah beli).
Sump design plak depending on the owner.. 2/3/4 compartment its up to u! .. i'm prefer to go 3/4 compartment. Untuk tengok sump design boleh tengok sini.. cam macam ada.. ikut jek.

- boleh menambahkan jumlah air untuk aquarium
- tempat letak filter media
- dah nama dia filter.. so dia akan jadikan air dalam aquarium lagi ok
- mudahkan nak tukar air
- promote water stable

This time i decided to try RDSB method to maintain my nitrates level low.
Purpose
- to keep low level of nitrate
Item used
- 1 x empty Red Sea (25kg) bucket
- 20kg fine sand
- 3 tank connector 15mm
- 4 elbow 15mm
- 15mm pipe secukup rasa
- atman 103 pump
Steps
- create 2 hole for return (i only have drill for 15mm ngam ngam) nak pakai 1 bigger return 25mm lagi bagus
- create 1 hole top (buat kat penutup)
- lastly plumb it together
- tadaaaa siap
Other
- i just cycle it about 1 week until ammonia level 0ppm
Problem
- at the beginning, return water direct to last section of sump, but its create a lot of problem since a lot of sand dump into the sump and return back to aquarium.
Solution
- make return to 1st section of the sump.. problem solve! .. make sure put a sponge/sock filter at return to minimize sand entering to sump
- other solution decrease sand volume :D
