Hi guys! It's been a long time, almost 3.5 months since I first added liverocks and water... have been really busy with work and other stuffs. Haha, meanwhile not much has been happening in my tank and its very EMPTY lol. I decided to let my tank mature first before adding more as I had 3 corals dead through brown jelly... no point wasting anymore precious life haha. Any idea what causes brown jelly?
To control my algae, I've added algae benny and this guy is more hardworking than any of my CUCs. This guy has got character and is my fav fish! Things have also started stabilizing around the 3 months mark. Readings are NH3 0, NO2 0, NO3 10, KH 7.8, CA 500 (abit on high side). Thanks for reading ^^
Equipments
Added a BM QQ skimmer that one of the kind bros here lend to me. It's really difficult to get any skimmate with the Hydra and my low bioload, however I feel it has its benefits as it does help in oxygenating the water.
Removed all the bioballs and biofoam from my system. Not sure if related but I found that nitrate levels has stabilized.
Change a T5 actinic blue into ATI Purple+. I love the colour and brightness, absolutely worth every cent.
Corals
Not much new addition here but some bros can't stand seeing how empty it is and gave me blasto, leather and hammer... a big thank you to the guys here for their big heart!
