After my caulerpa and liverocks in my refugium died, i decided to leave the refugium bare with just a ball of cheato and was impressed by the growth speed of a tumbling ball of chaeto. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Yes red sea coral pro salt has high dkh....but my 2.5 to 5% water change per week wont really bring the dkh up Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Decided to cure them.....not taking any risk Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

These are just my personal opinion.....its not impossible to maintain a reef tank without a sump but it just make things easier if you have one. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Overall my suggestion will be to get a tank with a sump....it will make your life easier Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

If you plan to keep corals i would say that chiller is a must (even if you can maintain temperature with a fan you never know what singapore's weather can give you) For skimmer i think your option will be for a hangon skimmer if you dont have a sump(not sure if there is a hangon skimmer strong enought for a 3ft....most hangon skimmer are used for smaller tanks) For filtration you wont have much option if you dont have a sump....the only thing i could think of is a cabister filter(highly not reccomended) For wavemakers i believe 2 proper sized ones will do the job.

Wasted all the pods that have accumulated in the liverocks....should i cure the liverock b4 puting them back to the tank or is it ok to put them back right now? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I happily placed all my rocks, shrimps along with urchins into a black bucket, thinking that they will do alright bht came back home with a bucket of dead stuff Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Decided to do a full clean up for my refugium after seeing all the detritus accumulated and algaes growing on the glass. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Erm not very well mounted....i just use some nails hammered into the wooden bracing of the tank. If you get this flood light do not that you will need to get wires and plugs to connect them yourself. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Im using the 50w one....one thing to consider is that its quite big in size and produces heat....but the good thing is that its cheap and does its job Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Im using this for mine. Still running well after around 3 months 20hr/day Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

How about a led floodlight? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Ok thanks....initially i suspected potassium and tested it to be around 370 ( still not too far off i guess) but will be expecting to start adding trace elements to bring up the levels. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hope to get some answers....i am considering to begin adding red sea abcd trace colours when i get them. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I also realised my green pocci colours are not as green as before. Anyone have any idea what caused this? Could it be due to the lack of trace elements? As i do not dose any trace elements other than calcium alk and mag from the calcium reactor and only do a 2.5% water change weekly Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Now im facing some problems with a few of my sps with some of them turning brown and some dying off at the tips. This bali green slimer turn brown suddenly within the past few days despite looking very healthy the past few weeks. Some of the tips of my milli is dying off with algae growing over it My new ice fire enchinata is also dying from the tips ( i dont expect much from it as its new and also a difficult coral to keep) Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
