  1. No new additions this week and curbing temptations to buy more stuff. View of larger island from the other side of the tank
  2. Pink tip plate from T95. And the star polyp live rock from aquamarin. Not sure why the cynarina is still not blossoming like the other Lps
  3. First few corals that I got about a month ago were the frogspawn, jewel and cauliflower
  4. The brown out acro I bought 2 weeks ago seems to have stabilised and think the signs of stn when I first bought it also seems to have slowed or stopped. Hope it colours up soon. Still boring brown
  5. Pretty pleased with polyp extension so far on the corals and also saw some growth edges for green monti cap and green staghorn
  6. Sorry. Send too quickly. Current photo period is increased an hour to as follows: 3pm: 2 tubes on 4pm: remaining 6 tubes on 11pm: 6 tubes off 12am: last 2 tubes off
  7. Starting to find a sweet spot for my dosing quantity. Current parameters as if today: Sg: 1.023 Calcium: 410 dKH: 10.1 Mg: 1050 Still need to increase Mg further but so far quite happy with the measurements. Also adjusted my photo period from previously: 4pm: 2 tubes on 5pm: remaining 6 tubes on 11pm: 6 tubes off 12am: last 2 tubes off Currently using 1 ATI Actinic, 4 ATI blue plus and 3 ATI aqua blue special(that's the white one I believe)
  8. thanks bro! Hopefully it will maintain its look though in the years to come
  9. Bought 2 bags of magnesium chloride on Monday from Iwarna as well to beef up ratio. Didn't realise they have such chemicals...and fairly cheap too but I suppose concentration levels will be lower than seachem products??? Hmmm... Will do a test during weekend on parameters again to see if it helps bringing up my Mg.
  10. Bought 3 more sps colonies from GO today. Trust me to say my tank is almost full earlier. Haha. Think too many blue lights and causing the colours to be really distorted on photos though and a fairly stressed piece at the top as I had asked the helper at GO to saw off the base plug for me for all 3 pieces for more natural looking. Placing it in super high flow area to clear the mucus
  11. 3 sided view as of today. So far so good in keeping algae in check. Just hope my corals' growth will be ok.
  12. thanks bro. Likewise, I love open and zen concept tanks. Will be striving for that as end result. Gotta keep reminding myself not to put too many things on the sandbed especially. Still lots to pick up especially with changes in reefing technology since my 12g tank of many years and my 2 ft tank of even many years were still very primitive
  13. Lack strong colours in my tank still. Transferred my 2 mushroom polyps to new tank. Will go finally decom old tank this week
  14. Decided to stop using the FR for the rowaphos as it is causing too much dirt coming out constantly Placed them in the stockings now only. Realised that most of the scum from my skimmer before that was just reddish dirt from the rowaphos
  15. So far so good with the bubble magus curve 7 skimmer. One day after cleaning itand a cup of tiramisu
  16. Finally, after endless hours of cleaning and re-cleaning, getting a chance to enjoy homestudy room and probably future kids room
  17. hey bro, this goby has been tested for many years. I think it is called diamond back or something. Only sifts the sand at we're it is and doesn't bomb sand over like the sleeper goby while swimming
  18. hi bro, haha. I didn't know today shipment day at GO. I'll pm u shortly. Dunno why I accidentally post price here instead of through PM
  19. Tank should be 80% full already. Leaving more empty spaces for growth and also wanting a more open look. Here's the latest fts.
  20. My 2 long serving clowns hosting on the torch. Had actually wanted a rbta at the area where the torch is but decided its too risky if it moves. So about the same effect I guess except for the colour
  21. Another monti cap. Still looking for those green monti with red polyps...
  22. Believe this is a valida? Also from GO.
