Nice!! PM me if you frag it

Thank you for everyone contribute to the post. Advices from everyone really helpful I think until now the N-Cycle is finished, there is a diatom bloom 10 days after the tank setup and diatom getting less after few days. Looks a bit strange to me too because the other tank setup few years ago get normal N-Cycle. This is my first time get N-Cycle finish so quick. I guess here is the conclusion, please correct me if anything wrong: 1) Use artificial live coral, less dead organism to generate ammonia 2) Live sand come with beneficial ammonifying / nitrifying bacteria 3) Active Carbon, De-Nitrate, Macro-Algae absorb ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. 4) Oversize skimmer removed DOC which help to minimize source of ammonia/nitrite. Here is the update of my tank, so far haven't change water since trying triton method. Most water parameters looks great, except KH but still in acceptable level. Water parameter NO3: 0.0 PO4: 0.0 KH : 7.7 Ca: 480 Mg: 1500 Salinity: 1.025 pH: 8.06 - 8.18 How it looks now All frags look really good but need time to develop a larger colony. Thanks everyone again. Happy reefing.

Thank you for your advice

At the moment, KH is 7.7, Ca is 480 and Mg is more than 1500. trying to decrease dosing and see whether that helps since Ca and Mg already rich to a very high level.

Thanks dreamscape. After the system run for a month, the KH dropping a bit and calcium increase very quick. I scare of increasing all solutions will cause the calcium more than 500. Checked and there is no clogging at the moment. Should i increase solution 1 dosing? At the moment the dosing is 25ml(5x5) daily for each solution.

Frags from Cedric

Nice and detail setup!

Not too bad. Noise level acceptable for me since my tank is in living room.

thank you.

no sign of ammonia, no2 zero and no3 also zero (Tested no2 and no3 with salifert) other parameters also looks good. SPS frags start growing.

Excellent tank!!!

May i know where to buy Hanna HI739 test kit? I use salifert PO4 test kit and so far it give me 0 all the time. Thanks.

Testing new camera.

This is my first tank in SG. First time use triton method and check parameter weekly. Tank: 30" x 18" x 18" Lighting: AI Hydra 52 Skimmer: Deltec 1455 Wavebox: Tunze nano wavebox 6208 + stream 6025 Chiller: Hailea HC-66a Return pump: Reef octopus dc 5500 Doser: Vertex Libra Doser Tank start from 3rd Oct. Water Parameter: Salinity: 1.025 NO3: 0.0 PO4: 0.0 KH : 7.7 Ca: 480 Mg: 1500 PH: 8.06 - 8.18

Found it where ah beng finally, thanks everyone.

Thank you. Still a bit strange, NO2 still zero and NO3 is 2.5 but lots of brown algae now. Wait for silicate to be consumed before next step.

Thanks Bros, Finally got a sand star, two snail and a sea urchin from Pasir Ris farmway. May I know where to find ah Beng?
