Updates... After I stop dosing NoPoX, algae is back... Lost another frag to zoa pox... At this rate, I will be decomming this pico setup soon...

These GSP (green star polyps) came along with the live rock. Not sure if they are doing okay. They must be hardy to be able to survive in a cycling tank.

Added a bio pellet reactor. Eductor FR 30 feed by Eheim compact 1000

DIY the durso for the overflow. Elbow, T, cap & pipe (30cm) cost only $2.40! The staff was so kind that he helped me drill a hole in the cap and (machine) saw the joints to shorten them, FOC!

You can find it at Aquamarin, Qian Hu(main distributor), Ah Beng... Etc. NoPox dosing takes some time to take effect and you need to start slow to avoid over dosing. It is no miracle cure.

Deeply fascinated by the lush colours of a coral reef, I decided to start taking reefing seriously. Quoted from an article I read, "...sensory overload, assaulted by colors and patterns...Coral reefs are unquestionably the world's most colorful places." Before I can start having these beautiful corals (or fishes or invertebrates... etc), I need to setup a suitable place to house them. I have been going through numerous tank threads and visited several reefers to admire their setups. Finally, I think it is time to start something. With limited budget, I turned to SRC - Pasar Malam for help... Fortunately, with the aid of several friendly SRC reefers, I managed to acquire the necessary equipments. As so, my tank thread is BB (BoonBoy's) Used (equipment) Setup. Let me start by saying a big "Thank you" to the SRC reefers that had made this possible for me with your equipment and/or knowledge.

Hi, Please help to identify what is in the picture. It is about 1cm long. Tried to remove it (with a pincer) but it is firmly attached to the rock. Moves like a slug/snail. Could it be an abalone? Thank you.
-
Got it from Aquamarin. The entire set comes with skimmer, light, pump and IOS tank but I get seperated (IOS tank & skimmer only)
-
Yes, I am skimming. The NoPox instruction mention that it must be used with heavy skimming. Using with OF air pump and Red Sea lime wood air stone. Skimate collected after dosing NoPox.
-
Updates... Had been dosing NoPoX for the last 3 days. So far no new algae growth. The algae seems to lose its "green". Hopefully, I can see some light soon.

Unknown acropora from Bali shipment. Light: MH 250w 14k Camera: iPhone 4S -
Thank you for all the suggestions... How about dosing? I am also considering dosing NoPox... Anyone has tried NoPox?
-
Thank you for the advices. When I bought the rocks, they were cured and did not have any algae. There are another 2 pieces of rocks that is in another tank which were purchased together with these but they remain algae free. As you have rightly pointed out to me earlier, CUC is needed. I am hesitant as I don't want the CUC to suffer in such a small tank. Nonetheless I will consider your advices. 1. Frag the zoas 2. Cook the rocks (have to cycle again) Thanks.
