WAH. . .speechless. For those who want to cultivate coraline algae, sld get these two rocks as coraline spread over time.

Can be totm. Very nice tank indeed.

Can try coral farm or LCK 201. Iwarna got juvenile black, about 1.5 inches.

I just saw the moonlight from the maxspect after tha main lights are off. Its simply fantastic. One of us must post a pic with the moonlight on.

bro when will your tank be ready? Cant wait to see it. Have you decided on the equipments?

bro i think aquabee make very good chiller pumps. Have been using them for years with no issues.

bro u are very kind. I'm trying to use as few equipments as possible to upkeep the corals. I used to have kalk reactor, denitrator, calcium reactor etc. Very complicated, simplicity is what I am chasing after now. I realise a good rockscape need good rocks to begin with. Fortunately for me, I mange to get superb rocks from coral farm, as well as another lfs in the north side. The rocks are filled with coraline algae and its very very porous. However, it does have many freeebies like crabs, worms and snails. I flush all my rocks under the tap before putting into the tank to remove as many pests as possiblr. Yes Sir, I have to agree with you. For now I am using one maxspect G2-110. Howeverr, the next unit of G2-110 will arrive in the next few weeks if I am lucky. Looking forward to it. The higher range of the G2 is a lil pricey, So i am sticking to G2-110 x 2 pieces and one set of 4 feet retrofit. Ha, i enjoy seeing the fishes swim through the caves as well. Rather have as little rocks as possible, total rockscape only approx 50-55kg of rocks. Yea bare-bottome does have the disadvantages. But in the long run it might be better than the dsb system. I can't be sure now but most of my buddies have change from dsb to bare-bottom. Slightly influenced by them. Cheers!

Hi bro, Yes it does looks a lil big but trust me its very very light. Its like a mh ballast, but 1/5 the weight and house behind my tank. Saves me two timers to control the led separately. Sometimes i look at the dirt i very tempted to suck them out. But I do not use pre-mix salt now neither do i house any nsw at home. So whenever I am available, i will hop by iwarna and get a few packets of nsw to water change. Bare-bottom really needs a good cleaning crew. So far I have blue-legged hermit and 7 turbo snails. Ha, this is my first bare-bottom. I have had 6-7 tanks with sandbed. The reason why i finally chose bare-bottom is less hassle. Plus if i am not going to have a deep-sand bed, then it will not serve much purpose expect that it will look more natural. One maxspect is definately not enuff. Unfortunately the G2-110 model uis so sought after that I have to wait for the next shipment to come in! At least now got the T5 and one set of maxspect to hang on to.

hi bro that one can only control the timer of the maxspect, its able to set separate switches for the white and blue led respectively. However its not able to control the density of the lights, ie dimmable.

bro both my tunze 6065 are at the top. I suck out the debris and do water change once a week. Got a cleaning crew of snails and hermit crabs to assist me. However, I do feel bare-bottom must really keep clean if not quite unsightly.

That was grade 5 sand. I have removed it and go for bare-bottom instead as it seemss the maintenance is easier. My set-up is simple. Main filtration is the skimmer although I also use about 600g of Biopellets.

Hi all, will be brief on the writing and show more pics instead. Tank size: 48" x 24" x 24" Equipments: listed in my signature Setting: lps-dominated tank Fish list: mainly tangs and smaller inhabitants

Thanks for both bro's reply. If that's the case, I think its fine for me to leave the maxspect as it is for today. Just hope it will follow the timer after today's cycle. Will post some pics of the lights later. I received one set today and the other set next week. So far can only say that it is very bright and the heat emission is very low, quite pleased with the overall product.

Hi bro does it mean if I leave the lights as it is now, it will follow the timer after today's time cycle?

yes bro its showing 14.15 now. Is it correct or i set the clock wrongly? Many thanks for helping.

Hi all, i just received my maxspect today. Cant seem to figure out the timer issue. I have set the time accurately. And then I set the timer to on the white light between 6.00pm to 12.00am For blue light, 5.00pm to 12.30am. However, not at 2.05pm in the afternoon both lights are on. Any idea why?

Nice lieutanant tang spotted at ah beng.

Target feed maket prawn. Do not use other feerders etc. stingrays quite blind from my experience, cant seem to see or smell the food unless i target feed. If this doesn't work, it will slowly starve to death.

One lfs also say their filtration system so pro no need change water for one year. But they forgot to mention that you might need to change fishes every month.

Thanks for the info. I just managed to get the biopellets today. seems like a good investment if it can manage the no3 in the long run. for most people the only hesitation for getting po4 is that it must be replaced constantly and that is very costly especially for a big or heavyload tank.

Why not try the Biopellets? It does control the po4 to a certain extent. Btw goodbye po4 lowers po4 quickly but does it maintain the level or just temp measure?
