Be careful on the output of your mazzara. If possible, raise up the height. Cheers, James

Pictures please. .... Cheers, James

Can take a look at your sump setup? Cheers, James

Hook up with siowaro, he just custom his 4ft shallow tank with external overflow box for $400 delivered. Cheers, James

I kept my tank nearer to the higher temperature between 80.2f - 81.3f. Speed of growth faster when temperature kept higher. How much is the limit I do not know. However I do notice sps colours tends to show better with the new grown tips as compare to other parts of the body. So maybe we should encourage growth and the colours will come naturally. Cheers, James

Hmmm.....interesting. Mine base n body are purple with green polyps. Slight blue tint on tips at certain angle. So maybe its a purple bonsai Cheers, James

Is there a different between purple bonsai and the tri colour valida? Cheers, James

Agreed on oxygen as byproducts of photosynthesis. But what happen to the dissolve o2 when there is no light and water temperature stays high? Just pondering, how many hours do one keep their lights ON in a day (24hrs)? Cheers, James

Lol.....no, I select for you the ones most suitable to your tank maturity Cheers, James

Nice skimmate, glad you bought the beckett. Btw what pump are you using to drive the beckett injector? Cheers, James

Just my guess and no test. Is it because at high temp 29-30degC, metabolism rate increases, bacterial growth increases, so bioload will increase, Zooaxanthelea increases, everything increase except oxygen never increase, things start dying, nutrients gets high, sps turn brown or stn? Please pardon me for my simple minded theory. Cheers, James

Small or normal growth rate. Definitely not accelerated. Not enough milk lah.....ha ha but dont blame me if crash Personally I dont believe in milk. Cheers, James http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/105744-the-journey-to-the-valley-of-the-reef-by-james/'>

I sponsor u some zoas frags, gsp and simple sps when I think your tank is ready. Cheers, James

Oxygen level drop might be link to carbon dosing causing too much bacteria bloom and depletion of oxygen. That's why we normally route biopellets reactor outlet hose to the skimmer. Cheers, James http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/105744-the-journey-to-the-valley-of-the-reef-by-james/'>

Wow, cool stuffs....how is the performance of the beckett when use with hailea pumps? Pressure good enough to support? Cheers, James

Could it be salinity shock? Did you do slow water mix for acclimatisation to your tank parameters? Cos normally lfs will keep their tank water salinity low to control ich and parasites. If the fishes you bought are quarantined fishes and you have done all the necessary steps to acclimatise it. I guess can only doubt the method how the fish were caught. Cheers, James

Small growth on the digitata? Cheers, James

Swee swee bo zhou zhui.... Cheers, James

Thanks for the link Cheers, James

Can share the method use for tuning the calcium reactor without pH controller?

Long but not too shallow unless your width is wide so your scape have more dimension. Consider min 18" depth or if possible 20"

Keep us update on the progress of the sps frags......

Look like some kind of marine bugs......like some type of mantis shrimp Cheers, James

Thanks for the recommendation of the blue gel. Indeed easy to use cos it stick fast, much faster than bsi gel. Plus its $2 each. Cheers, James
