clearirng some corals to make space bta - 20 each nuclear death with some other zoas - 100 (hand size) golden cloves with zoas rock - 120 (hand size, yuma not included) red mushroom with zoas rock - 60 (4-5" lenght) favia - 50 (3") green sinularia - 30 (3" height) viewing & collection @ kaki bukit area thank you for viewing

Every tank is different. My tank drop around 1dkh a day .As long as your parameters is within range its ok . Most important is keeping it stable. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I believe the 1+2+3+ balling solutions are not meant to be dosed independently. You adjust the parameters you want first with your remaining Red Sea solution then dose 1+2+3+ equally to keep the ionic balance as per balling theory

Not sure if it is a good idea as carbon tends to exhaust faster than zeolite, which could make changing the media troublesome .All fluidise reactor work almost the same. Nice tank !

Several reefers asked me via whatsapp to share more about the Clarisea fleece usage. One key concern folks have is how fast its consumed which ultimately affects running cost. Some reefers say the fleece last 3wks to a month. That's possibly because they push too much water through the unit, causing water to rise prematurely & roll to advance too fast. I had this issue initially but realized its not necessary to do this especially if you have a high flow rate system (I'm running 2x Vectra M1). I opened up the bypass valve on the Clarisea to let more water pass through. Now the fleece is consumed less quickly & looks 'darker' in color => fleece is fully saturated & not advanced prematurely. Currently NO3 is running around 2ppm which is right where I'd like it to be. Opening up the bypass has absolutely no effect to worsen water quality. Pic below shows 1 week usage. Added a small Achilles Tang recently. Its clear that ATs must be quarantined to ensure survival. It took a week in a 'quiet' isolated tank for it to eat comfortably. Dumping it into the display tank on day 1 & be stressed by other fishes will very likely end up with stress & ich. I added display tank water & bio media into the QT early on. As there were other large tangs in the display tank, the introduction process had to be threaded carefully. Once the AT is deemed resilient enough, I added the most aggressive yellow tang (and 2x larger) into the QT to stress it out & for them to make peace. If they were to get hurt or ich appears, at least its still in the QT. Fingers crossed it survives. A short clip of the journey

Took u loooong enough to realise...
