Good price indeed. And the tank is quite new. Hope to see you restart after shifting House. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hosting some frags for a fellow reefer. Colors seem to be coming back. Target feed the yuma with prawn meat after moving it to a more accessible location. Last target feeding was probably about 3-4 months ago. Orange sponge from Specialised Aquatics. Not sure of ID of this from the Gorgonian family. 2 abalones hard at work Chaeto reactor. Can hardly see the LED tube inside already. Will harvest the chaeto next week. Some folks asked about the size of the reactor. From quick measurement, the white cylindrical part is about 20cm diameter x 49cm height. If it were to be run externally, might as well get a large one. Water flow rate is probably in the 1000+l/hr range

Yellowhead Jawfish this morning. They paired up & share the same tunnel under the bed of GSP (which is covered up by sand now) Need to place some small rock chips in the area

Nice. How does it work? Water movement etc?

I like the scaping. Look forward to more pics.

I'm not an expert with Triton systems but based on my limited understanding, my comments as follows : - Maximize the volume of the sump. Make the glass as high as possible but ensuring there is enough space to take equipment out - Light does not need to be kessil. Seems like an over priced option unless you can afford it. Also, i don't think the Kessil can be hung high enough above the sump to give good spread. Perhaps select cheaper lights but spread it out for more surface coverage - Compressor coil needs to be in a very high flow area. I can't tell from the photo. If flow can't be improved, add a wavemaker there Have you consulted Iwarna for the design?

Got some small dry rocks recently to build some mini caves & base for anemones. Since its just a couple of small rocks, I used hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach - easier to clean up with no fear of remnant bleach inside the rock. Soak for a couple of minutes + scrub. Prepared some rock cement Add about 50% water to make a paste Finished job. Cement dries to a similar color as natural rocks. Its so strong you can't break it with your bare hands. Need hammer or frag cutter.

Congrats!!

Thanks. Made a simple acrylic holder that sits on the sump glass.

Found a large aiptasia on the clam. Attempting to kill it with kalkwasser paste before it spreads. Mix some kalk Into a paste Not the best video but this is roughly how it went yesterday. Turn off all pumps & wavemaker & try to get the aiptasia to take in the kalk. Ideally it will "eat" a blob of it. This one didn't take much in but its not opening up since. So i'll monitor it the next days to see if its still there.

Some pics from the weekend. 2 crabs in the yellow pocci Friend's Red/Blue Scolly. Feeding on some prawn meat. Fearless Forest Fire digi recovering after a terrible experience of fluidizing activated carbon. I think the carbon took away some essential element from the water. Got the perception that the corals lost its protective coating, made it sensitive to light which led to reduced PE & loss of color. Stopped the carbon. Didn't recover. Dosed 'more' iron, bromine, iodine for a couple of days & things went back to normal. Side effect is increased nuisance algae growth which was dealt with separately.

Previously I was using an old salt bucket to collect skim externally. However, there is a constant fear that the float switch malfunctions - causing a flood in the living room. Hence this is an attempt to make a smaller container housed within the sump instead. The float switch connects to the Apex to switch off the skimmer & send me a mobile notification. About 1 week's worth of skim

Thanks. The rock flower anemone were from Coral Farm.

It'll only swim out a couple of inches to grab food. Pellets or any frozen food (mysis, LRS Frenzy, DIY home made etc).

Yellowhead jawfish are easier. They do not have the low temperature requirements & should do just fine in the 26-28degC temperature range. Similar to the blue spotted, they take pellets or frozen food easily but still need to be target fed as they don't venture out much. This is my yellow head jawfish.

Thanks. Really a lot of bio media & huge refugium.

My BlueSpotted Jawfish didn't make it. So its really a difficult fish as often mentioned in the forums. I think the usual 26-28degC temperatures most of have are not cool enough for it. They need around 22-25deg C waters. While they are supposed to be social to their own species, they are not very friendly with other fishes. Hence they tend to hide when housed in a tank with other larger fishes. This inhibits them from coming out freely to feed. Hence, mine needed to be target fed. So take it from me, while the Blue Spotted Jawfish is pretty cool fish, it needs specific requirements which isn't easy to provide. So choose your fishes wisely.

Nice growth! Any pics of the refugium/sump? Keen to see large water volume setups.

Yeah...nice healthy corals!

Some tops down shot taken today using an acrylic container & Olympus OMD EM5. Hosting a scolly for fellow reefer. Pressure Finally got a frag of Lime in the Sky from Alex in early Oct after searching for it for many months. Blue tips showing at the cut area. Some kind of blue green tenuis

Nice set up. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a recirculating reactor - which has little flow of 'fresh' water through the reactor. The lack of carbon dioxide & nutrient rich water could cause some die off. That could explain the slime & black stuff. BTW, nice sump

Any idea why you faced cyano & black slime? What was your set up like? Can share pics / info? Keen to know to avoid similar situation.

No brand. You can contact Patrick from ReefMarketSG for it.
