Here are some underwater shots taken by my phone. ( T5 and LED ) No ID (loving the pink tone and yellow tips) Atomic fire ball ( coloration changed totally to ssc) No ID (growing and colouring up nicely) True red planet No ID tenuis Spathulata Rainbow millepora Pikachu (got it fully green, now turning yellow) Orange Millepora (my favourite piece atm) Bonsai Aussie strawberry field? Yellow banana (seems almost impossible to bring out the yellow) Bubble gum Millepora (getting a very nice morph) SSC (lost the green totally, hope it comes back soon) No ID Frag (look at the multi coloured polyp!) That's all for now. Hope that in a few months time I can compare their growth and see huge difference

Thank you for your kind words! Feel free to share the photo on Instagram! Haha thanks Bro! Will try to update more frequently, hopefully I get the green light for a macro lens

From what i have read on many online forums, corals do not consume anything if they are stressed. And do note that the consumption of such are not linear throughout the day.

I am too addicted to the colored sticks.. The tank is a little too crowded imo, that's why i have decided its time to do a frag tank for more corals. With that said, i am still looking for more acros that i have not acquired and am open to trades If any kind souls are willing to trade or sell me a piece of the following, please shoot me a pm!

Haha, yup. Its a 2ft x 2ft x 1.8ft tank.

Thanks bros! I initially thought of mixing my own dosing liquid. But the ionic balance threw me off and I decided to use C balance 2 parts to dose. Colours are still not up to standards yet imo.. I'm hoping that it only gets better and better

Decided to ditch my calcium reactor and went ahead with dosing 2 part with an apex DOS for my tank. Reasons: 1: I don't have to worry about my effluent clogging. 2: My ph will be higher throughout the day due to the fact that no co2 is bringing it down. ( 8.4 to 8.2 throught 24 hrs ) 3: It is easier to tune whenever necessary. Although the cost of running a dosing pump may be more expensive ( due to the liquids )as compared to running a calcium reactor, I still went ahead with it as my tank is only 50 gallons. Oh, and I did a rescape recently due to itchy hands The tank is pretty filled with sps corals atm, gonna build a small frag tank soon to accomodate even more corals!

One way or another, you're gonna have to stretch the budget by "alot". It's a poisonous hobby!

I diy-ed the control panel, just used a spare piece of ply wood and some wire duct. Cost is not more than $30 for the wire duct and ply wood. http://ccm.sg/www/retail-branches.html This is the link of the shop that sells the wire duct, I suggest calling before making your way done to make sure there is stock. The nyos 120 works really well for me, pulling out "kopi o" consistently. I got lucky with the red gonio, a kind reefer traded it with me for other corals! Also, for those who are interested in the T5 hybrid, feel free to pm me on how to get it.

Thanks bro! It is indeed very bright, hard to find coloration as well.

How is the Mauritius Jeweled Wrasse doing bro? I just lost mine due to jumping

1: I believe it does take some time for certain skimmers to break in, give it up to a week and try fine tuning it again! 2: Diatoms are very common for new tanks, as time goes by other different types of algae will pop out too. 3: Should be pods bah.. Do snap a pic when you can and share it with all other reefers here to identify!

Very nice coloration on the corals despite the "harsh" treatments! Bravo bro YX!

Very nice tank thread bro. How are the 2 Hydras working for you? Do you face problems with area not covered by light for using just leds?

Now some top down shots of some of my favourite sps Orange millepora Acropora microclados? Rainbow Millepora Royal blue Millepora Would like to thank all the bros who were willing to let off these gems to me!

So much had changed within the past 3 months.. Upgraded my existing light with aquatic life 4 × 24w T5 retrofit kit. Decided to do an update with a full tank and side tank shot! Photos were taken using my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with orange gel filter under full blue led.

Took out my rusty DSLR to snap some pics today.. pardon my photos, still trying to get the hang of it Commando corals, Red planet: IMG_0458.CR2 Purple nana: IMG_0460.CR2 Sunny D zoas IMG_0416.CR2 Newly acquired, Blue tips green body tenius: IMG_0461.CR2 Frogspawn: IMG_0424.CR2 Fishes, Radiant wrasse: IMG_0437.CR2 Yellow hogfish: IMG_0290.CR2

Hi, don't mind me hijacking your post. Where did you get those mangroves?

Before: After: Thanks to bro @SubzeroLT for giving me tips and advise, I managed to have a neater sump and build an external control panel for most of my electrical appliances.

Was using T5 previously, decided to give LED a go to try it out. My input for people who wants to use Kessil AP700 is to acclimatize your corals to the lighting 1st, it is REALLY strong. Learnt things the hard way

I have finally decided to start a tank thread for my tank after going through so many ups and downs with the tank. Hopefully this tank thread will serve its purpose well of keeping records and learning tips from reefers all over. Current equipment list: Lights: Kessil AP700 Skimmer: Nyos Quantum 120 Return Pump: Skimz QP 4.0 ( Upgrading soon for reliability ) Chiller: Hailea HC150A ( Upgrading soon for reliability ) Controller: Apex 2016 with Ipad mini gen 1 Calcium Reactor: Skimz Cm97 Co2: Intense Solenoid Wavemakers: Glamorca GP03 x1, MP10QWD X1 Refugium light: Kessil H80 Due to my busy schedule, the tank has suffered many losses. So i am currently trying my best to keep all parameters in check and salvage whatever i can. The tank is not in its best shape now, so i wont be sharing a FTS.. However, here are some of my some newly acquired corals and a few of my commando sps. ( Taken by Samsung Note 8 ) Here's a pic of my "Control Panel" that has yet to be completed.. Thank you for taking your time and reading my 1st post of my tank thread! I will definitely upload more pics and updates on the tank as time goes by.
