Btw... I'm curious about the iceprobe... how well is it working?

Thanks bro... yes, one day I'll follow in your footsteps...lol

Thats a cool Patrick! 6 arms!

Thanks bro! I can't find those pandas anymore! Hope they'll emerge one day Thanks bro! Thats actually a very good idea... the filter wool is so packed with sh*t every week

Sure... left that bit out... Bacteria: Brightwell microbacter7 1-2 drops daily Ca/Kh/Mg: Red Sea Reef Foundation A,B,C 4-5 mls each daily Strontium: Tropic Marin 1/2 spoon every 2 weeks Iodine: Continuum Iodide 1 ml daily Nutrients: Red Sea Reef Energy A&B 2mls each every other day Changing about 10% of water every week with red sea coral pro salts Change the filter wool once a week. Rowaphos and carbon replaced monthly. Feeding fish with NLS Thera A and TDO chroma boost pellets twice daily. Occasionally give henry's reef gourmet or frozen mysis as a treat. I also feed microbe life LPS pellets to the lps once a week. Oyster eggs or coral frenzy for the rest of the corals every 2-3 days.

Here is the FTS for November Current Equipment List: Tank: Ocean Free 96l AIO Chiller: Hailea HS-28 Lighting: Maxspect Razor 120w 16k with 120 degree lens Skimmer: Skimz SH1 Wavemaker: Jebao WP10 Doser: Jebao DP-4 Filtration: 1st compartment: Filter wool and Biohome 2nd compartment: Polyp Lab Biospheres 3rd compartment: Skimmer 4th compartment: Rowaphos and Rowacarbon 5th compartment: return pump Livestock: Fish: Naoko wrasse, misbarred black oscellaris, red firefish, royal gramma x2, broadband goby, yasha goby, tailspot blenny, green banded goby(missing), panda gobies x2 (missing) Inverts: Blood red shrimp, sexy shrimp x 4, Pom pom crabs x2, blue banded coral shrimp, derasa clam Cuc: Turban snails x2, hermit crabs x2, nassarius snails x4, serpent sea star, blue tuxedo urchin, abalone Corals: whats shown in the pic, list too long Updates: My tank is now in its sixth month. The diatoms on the sandbed are now gone but they've been replaced by cyano on the sandbed which I've been fighting this past month. I think I'm finally winning the war. I've been siphoning all the cyano out along with the affected sand every week. This past week has seen clear sand except at some corners. There's also a stubborn patch of bryopsis that I've been pulling out manually, fortunately its quite hidden from view. The hair algae outbreak on the back wall seems to be receding by itself. The best investment this month was the auto doser. Its been tiring keeping up with the demands of the sps and manually dosing everyday. But my biggest problem now is that I've almost run out of space for new corals... sigh..

Lol... LFS tank indeed. Very happening bro! Nice flame angel!

Great theme tank you have there! Love the cobblestones. Will you be adding a real life Patrick in the future? Btw... can you tell me where you got that frag rack?

thats a very cool little tank... are those mangroves?

Sweet poison bro!

Thank you! Ha... I'm working on it... here's a random sps pic in the meantime

oh thanks bro... I'm still a relative newbie compared to the other guys here... Always good to share and learn from each other. I've been using biohome too, I'm not sure how much more it contributes, but I guess it can't hurt.

It seems like you are building a fluidised sand bed filter? Think the portion of the sand that first comes into contact with oxygen rich water would be great for aerobic denitrifying bacteria. And if your flow is slow enough and the column of sand tall enough to totally deplete the oxygen from the water, then you can cultivate anaerobic bacteria that you need to break down nitrates. Would be interesting to see a pic of your setup and I guess we'll need some time to see how well it works. Cheers!

Welcome to the club bro. Nice tank you have there. Recently set up?

And I dosed the tank with a couple of panda gobies yesterday

They ate your fish??

Another plate from the same batch
