how to get there? hahahaha
Nevertheless, don't take from Singapore lah. Already so kns with so much phytoplankton around. Give our fisheries and reef-beds a chance to grow and propagate (:
hahaha tak boleh bro. I dont have a dslr to do macro leh. will be investing in one someday. haha (:
and really? first top down made the tank look wider? hahaha i didnt realise leh
well, nothing to be impressed bro. Alot of people in US are already doing it. I just merely copied their ideas. haha (: anyway photoperiod of my tank is 7 hrs with only MH. I never supplement with T5 due to the inadequacy of space at the top of the tank and lack of materials to make a bigger rack for the lights
Chiller is 1/3 Daeil. OEM for Artica. Chills my tank from 26.4 to 25.0 in 10mins flat! lol
Husbandry wise, here is my list:
- 1x water change of about 20% per 2 weeks
- 1x dosage of 1ml of TM A & K elements daily
- 1x change of rowa carbon and phosphate remover per month
(carbon is put in a mesh bag and set in the sump while the phosphate remover is inside the FR. I am using Aqualight phosphate remover)
- 1x iodine per day. I use seachem iodide solution.
- 2x teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate powder to maintain kH
I do not measure my parameters often until I notice some corals are not growing. otherwise I usually leave them be (: Also, I top up with tapwater. No RO/DI yet. but I will get one when I get approval from my boss (Yes, I keep my tank in my office haha)
Hope this helps (:

All these pics were months old taken with my normal iPhone. Since then, I have added rics and some zoas from friends.
Will try to showcase them next time (:
Bro, I just read kylve's thread and saw your post about your hot pink BN.
Advice is to frag it up. This is because tho the STN didnt spread, but if algae grows on the dead skeleton parts, your BN also wont be able to grow new skin over it. In the end, not so aesthetic liao
