Continue to monitor the CR... you will grow to love this piece of equipment

Lucky you never say add skimmate

Time for a FTS

Actually the most horrifying experience of all is when you introduce new shrimps into the tank... ouch :pinch:

Coral Farm is my personal FAV... but dun ever visit if your bioload is already high :eyebrow:

Really? I didn't know they can be so rare... this morning spotted them resting separately... was very disappointed... but once the lights went up... they lovey-dovey again

Last pix of the day... finally can see some of my Pearl Bubble's mouths

Was at Aquamarin Katong this afternoon... lots of LS to choose from... full house!!!

Here's a video clip showing the Two Spot Gobies in action :eyebrow:

I'm really glad to have found a pair... according to Liveaquaria.com "It will rarely act aggressively towards other fish, but is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair." They immediately started sifting the black sand upon introduction

Went LFS shopping to pick up my new CO2 set this afternoon... unexpectedly found this lovely pair of Two Spotted Goby... they move around as a pair in the LFS tank... simply irresistable

OMG!!! The twin really comes together (as in attached skeleton)? Eye opener :shock:

Another thing... seems like your tank is experiencing some algae bloom too (comparing yesterday's pix with 6 Jan)... I will suggest water tests and change of water... find out the reason for the outbreak... it could simply a sign that you have exceeded the threshold :pinch: How many hours of lighting are you providing your corals? Any change in duration between now and last week?

It's a great feeling when the tank is finally stocked... but do proceed cautiously as any more additions (be it fish, inverts or corals) will be treated as excess burden to the biotope. I would to hold on to your existing bioload for the time being, with the exception of adding something RED for CNY It's not normal for large quantity of Zoanthid polyps not opening up... 2 possible reasons IMO: 1) Your clownies are disturbing them by brushing their bodies against the polyps. 2) You are experiencing Nudis attack!!! Which is pretty common for your kinda zoas. My advice is, to look for hairy little beige/white creatures among the polyps... usually you will be able to spot 1 or 2 stuck onto the glass panel in the early hours. It's good for you to check it through before introducing more Zoas into your tank. All the best bro!

Yeah... captured my heart completely... let me look for a colony or two to brighten up my days too

Yes... show us some Acans please :eyebrow:

Totally stunning!!! Do update us if there's any sign of aggression

I have just restarted my tank and installed my old Skimz FR-150 back into the sump. Before firing up the FR, PO4 is at 0.015ppm (high sensitivity test kit). Let it run for a week and test again

Here's what I use to fill up my Grotech CR I am currently running the CR now (for testing the pump and effluent rate consistency)... so far so good Will wait for my new CO2 tank + Solenoid + Regulator set tomorrow before connecting Meanwhile KH is dropping... dosed 8 scopes of Grotech Carbonat powder yesterday to buff up a bit

upz

Nice Mystery!!!

Err... it's like a war zone right now... let me tidy it up a bit next Monday and take a shot :paiseh:

Here's how I fix it to the pump

Let me share with you guys my greatest DIY attempt so far :pinch: Alright... I know... gotto start some where

My Green Frogspawn doesn't seem to like the pellets Pearl Bubble accepts... Hammer rejects
