Thanks for the comforting words, bro. Hope ur tank doing fine too. Take care!!

Some random shots of the improvement in coloration and growth for some of my existing sps.Ice blue tip tenuis Ssc color looks more normal now with the green and pink tips spreading out evenly. Red planet that often neglected among the big shots. Sorry for dark photos. Too little explosure.No id but more I see the more I think it’s a microclados type. Anyone? Bought as Badading...not? Turned yellow skin with purplish tubular tips. Pink hyacinthus with intensive pink coloration. My po4 is at 0.2ppm... haha. Almost off the chart. Trio of badading, Pearlberry or blueberry? And on right side is blue dragon. Only confirm id is blue dragon. No Id on this one, look like devil’s whip. Pink lemonade? Dragonfruit? Anyway not for sale so pls dun pm me. Lol

The other two frags also from Iwarna... Thought it’s WD but was told it to be homewrecker. Hmmm?? Bali shortcake. The color of this nana came back after 2wks of treatment. Amazing!!

Can’t help it but in the midst of my treatment I still added some frags cos I seeing some results Juz after 2 weeks. I did a 35 days treatment instead of the recommended 28days just so becos still have about 100ml left. Anyway, full dose I need 160ml for my tank size. Insufficient but I just dose instead of wasting it hoping it will kill whatever fw that still surviving. Alright onto the frag pics... The rbm on the left doing well again after I shifted it away from the Aefw infested area of my tank. Rem wat I said these buggers like to feast on prostrata and millies. Rhs is the new tenuis I got from Iwarna. Look like orange passion becos saw the inner coralite color orangey.

Posted on both sections of the forum. Thanks.

Currently just completed my treatment and seeing some good results. Good results as explained in some duller looking corals started to have colors coming back. As of yesterday I still see some egg looking stuff below one of my monti and hammer lps but can be easily scraped off. Not sure if they are eggs or what. Keeping fingers crossed. Do Aefw laid eggs on monti and lps? Cos they are acropora eating? Sounds like a dumb question to ask but if anyone can answer me, thank u very much.

Next, I discovered some weird stuff crawling onto my glass at the end feb where I had not been adding any corals for close to two months which is kinda strange. Upon checking with some frds, it’s the dreaded AEFW. I have no idea how it got there. Somehow it linked to lost of colors on some of my acros. The worst has yet to come. I read these pests like to feast on non hairy sps. But for my case, this species of Aefw take a liking in species like milliporas and prostrata. Lost my precious colonies of pink and green millies and red sungod prostrata, a aussie pearlberry and blue stag horn. Pics shows infestation of eggs and stn on the base of prostrata. Dumping all the egg infested acros. I believe all the Aefw can burrowed into the stems and killed it from inside out. Anyone has read abt this before can maybe contribute? Large colonies killed within space of a week. Got this little fellow to help out a little but think a little too late. Next thing I did was got this from RMSG after reading abt it to try. Results seem good but of cos I had to dump all possible infested colonies and start regular dipping of frags I can took out to cleanse.

It’s has been a long 3 month no update.... a lot has happened to my tank since cny and also rest of the world becos of covid19. First thing first, added some fishes sometime in March. Bought 7 Evansi anthias from Iwarna but all died except left one to accompany my existing two. Forget to take any pics of it. Guess it’s not very wise to buy fresh shipment for finicky fishes like these. Next fish I got is yes, another tang. Oops. A gem tang. Doing well now after keeping in a beta box hanging in my tank for 5 days for observation. Was initially bullied by initial trio of redsea sailfin, powder blue and purple tang. Now they good frds. Lol

Cheap DIY frag rack: Material u need: 1) $2 test tube holder. (Ali Express) 2) $10 Aquarium cleaning magnet, rem to get correct size and strength meant for ur glass thickness. (Shopee) 3) $2 coral glue gel tube. (Any lfs or general store) Its so simple, just assemble the test tube rack and glue them to the magnet. Inexpensive frag rack that only cost less than $15 and can house frag plugs of 14-16 plugs depending on how U place them. Thanks everyone taking time out to read my thread. Stay home and safe!!

Use this cb period to cycle ur tank. Seem like ur tank didn’t go through any proper cycling. Add more medias and bacteria.

I see, think for reef tank better to chose bigger size sand or coral chips to prevent it from flying around since most reef tank esp with sps need strong flow. With sand it become a maintenance issue.

Nice tank, bro. Why regret adding sand?

Nice ssc.

Just curious, if your nutrients is low enough shouldn’t the algae on the glass grow at a slower pace? Do update on how ur experiment goes? Thanks. R u going to use 3m cleaning pad instead of the erasing pad as recommended? I asking cos I dunno if they make a difference or not? I think magic eraser is the same as those magic sponge sold in daiso and general store.

Cool and unique selection of livestock.

Is that a holy grail torch? Nice setup.
