Need Vitamin M and permit to build.. land is expensive here. Haha

If all the critters dying, check your salinity. It should be between 1.023-1.025. Anyway since you got stuff dying, your ammonia cycle could be starting. Just hang back do nothing and let it cycle 4-6 mths before putting your livestock. Anyway I'm not familiar with such customised tank but I reckon you be better off doing fish only. Fish only can be quite fulfilling if you invest only on those exquisite fishes. No need few hundred. $120 can get you a lunatus wrasse. $150-$170 a flame wrasse and the list goes on.... However before you proceed, please do reflect these bros' words especially on $$$ and commitment. If you think $700 is a big investment already, fyi, my 2ft tank with corals equipment and other misc stuff already hitting $5k. Been here for 8-9 years, think I've already splurged $100k all together...

Opposite each other. One reef crest mode one lagoon.

Haha yea but I rejected cause got too many food for tank alr. I'm still trying to finish my dainichi pellets. Icic. Tt looks weak. Shouldn't be a cause of concern. Hmmm how low are your nutrients? You said these same issues were prevalent previously. Were you on carbon dosing then?

Yea I was with netviper and mini reefer earlier. Hope yoy like your purchases (: Hmmmm if your flow strong?

Dream setup!

Maybe you put some carbon. Dosing salt industrial grade? If they are, might be a case of unknown elements inside leeching into tank. Anyway never like led for lps. either bleach them or kill them

If mp40 and mp60 are designed similarly, then the drop off might be due to your glass too thick or you didnt adjust the cover on the dry side to the correct slot which reflects the right thickness of the glass.

400G! Oh my 天! Going to be exciting to see you stock up on the fishes (: Anyway love your stance on running your own pipings because when shyt hits the fan, you know where to troubleshoot and amend the mistakes. Thumbs up!

Millepora.

You got me all dreaming again with this one

hahahahahaha

Instead of taking gfo offline, how about dosing more bacteria? Judging from article it seems like gfo sucked the po4 making bacteria count drop due to lack of po4 as food hence no3 rises. but you are already running biopellets which has both bacteria and carbon source. so technically your bacteria count shld be steady as the carbon source in pellets feed only the bacteria. so I am abit confused with the article's direction on removing the gfo part. Hope to understand more

lols. honestly I doubt it. back to thread, bro evo, do you notice any distinct colours failinh to launch under leds?

I think one of my bro told me that Radion did that TIR lens to enhance the single source light point into a compact source hence the crossing of lights. Nonetheless looking forward to your results.

Did it before. Reactive combination but works well. Suggest to go with the recommended 1tsp/3.75L of water and vinegar at 15ml.

Currently, I'm reading up on this 42 pages report on LEDS and hopefully able to provide you all with its findings. Cheers

Something for sharing by our fellow friends in RC. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2136083 Above thread demonstrates that LEDS can grow SPS but question remains if you like the colours LED pulls out of the corals. Also the thread shows the power of LEDS which means us to have a higher ceiling to allow better coverage of the tank so that corals are not subjected to single colour source and instead a cross mixture of different colours ie. a more complete spectrum. Personally, I have been observing this thread as well as others on the development of LEDs and still find them wanting. As a mixed reef person and lover, it is not easy to sustain zoas and certain softies beyond a certain threshold. Nevertheless I do live by the fact that LEDs provide the best actinic colouration to our corals.

Nice tank panda. All the best. Looking forward to your results.

Agree. But just a slight sidetrack, it is hard to tell ourselves that since we are naturally kiasu.

Nah I wouldn't worry about losing bacteria. Get the cycling going and stocking slow, they will come back. Good luck.

It's okay. I make the same mistake too. No matter how senior, we do make schoolboy mistakes Not necessary to buy super expensive cotton pad. Just go for any freshwater rectangular pads are good enough. Better if the texture is abit tough.
