hi thanks for the comment. Sorry, I still can't figure out how to resize my photo size.
Anyway, the true clown (pair) has been with me for more than 6 mths but think not 1 yr yet. As for the gorniopora, is about 3 to 4 mths. And in fact, all the coral are with me for almost 3 to 4 mths only. They are growing in size daily and stretching their circumference wider and wider each day. I have never been so successful before. Usually,my coral will not last more than 3 mths. Even they last,they wouldn't grow.
I think the key reasons that I observed r:
1) diligently keeping all parameters within the limits. (last time I dun care,so suffer many failure)
2) rework my sump to tower type instead of DSB. Basically, using all BIO Ball and using live rock only. NO sand or coral chip at all
3) feed the coral directly.
4) add supplement to the tank e.g. iodine, trace elements, etc.
5) lastly, 1 to 3 mths partial water change. The principle is no matter how powerful our filtration system or bilogical system is, the tank is still a close loop system. Hence, waste product will always retain in the tank. Only by partial water change,can then bring the waste out of the close loop system.
By the guys,did u manage to spot my yello yuma? and giant sun flower? These r my 2 favourite.
