Fed all my corals today with frozen brine shrimps... here's a closer look at my greedy Whiskers

A closer look at my odd light combo
I just realized today that the ATI PM cooling fans also cools my MH 
:eyebrow: The ATI PM cooling fans will draw air from the top, cool the ballasts and tubes and release the warm air through the four holes on the side of the fixture

Glad to announce that my Calcium Reactor has kicked in beautifully... here are some readings:
Day 1 - Tuesday
kH: 10 dkH
pH: 8.0
Ca: 410 ppm
Mg: 1320 ppm
Day 6 - Sunday
kH: 12.5 dkH
pH: 7.9
Ca: 430 ppm
Mg: 1350 ppm
A sharp rise in kH, Ca and Mg within a short period of time... the tuning is probably more suitable for a tank full of LPS. With only a few pieces of LPS in the tank right now, I have tuned the CR to reduce its effectiveness. Will continue to monitor it

Boss, the only problem is, because of my strong flow the sand bed often gets messed up. This is one of the reasons why i am reluctant to put my pratas on the sandbed.. if i make the flow any less, the sps wont be happy. Sigh.. difficult to achieve a mixed reef man...
Yes... that's a real challenge... that's why SPS and LPS seldom coexist together
-
btw guys...is it a must to have flow in the refugium?? as my refugium is a different tank from the sump...so do i need to fix a power head?
Sufficient flow is a necessity... if not they will rot after a while

I dunno how to use Salifert.I guess i get Tropic Marine MG test from GO.
Actually the Salifert Ca and Mg is not that hard to use. You just need to be able to tell the difference in colour between pink and blue. Anything in between is transitional. But of course not everyone perceive colour the same way.

I will put it in the first compartment too
-
Oh my... so corals in China are BIG and CHEAP?
:heh: That piece of Gonio is looking real nice 
-
if I wanted to upgrade I will done it 2 weeks ago liao.......
I still like RSM look and it's still perfect for my living room.
Yes once you start to custom a larger tank... things will get a lot messier... any latest FTS
-
Bro Lum you have more than 20 pieces of Pratas in your tank... amazing
:bow: -
Beginning to spot a small amount of diatom on the sand bed... that's with close scrutiny... the black sand helps in concealing the ugly things
-
okay! time to upgrade. haha
Give him a break
:lol: -
Welcome back! Are you having difficulty finding LR in China? Which part of China actually?
-
$110 cheaper electricity bill bloody well done liao lah but i think u gotta stop buying equipment sooner or later or the costs of the equipment kindof offsets ur savings in my humble opinion.
Yupe agree totally... making our system more efficient is a good thing... but in the process waste resources too... will have to strike a balance there I suppose
-
Bro Jevismun,
I think there is a typo or my eyes see wrongly..at your new tank column - ehiem 1250 usage "hour per day" is 240??
I think your total usage in $$$ will greatly reduce..
Yeah type... should be 24 hours/day... the monthly figure is correct
-
How often do you feed them? Any full tank shot?
-
New table after adding the 150W MH
-
Irwana last night got MEGA SPS and LPS shipment... anyone went?
-
Wow we can really get expert solutions here
:bow: -
Btw what do u guys do to produce more oxygen to the tank? And i also notice there is a layer of oil even after i clear it out. What cud had produce that?
You can add a much more powerful protein skimmer too... they produce a lot of oxygen
-
I got a whole collection of API test kit cause use for my angelfish tank.Freshwater.It is the most reputable.But interpet also good for freshwater.Found Salifert magnesium test kit also hard to read.Finally hear some bad comments abt it.Was thinking buying pH pinpoint meter.Magnesium dunno what other reliable test kit have mg test.
For Magnesium, you can get Tropic Marin also. They have a Mag+Cal 2-in-1 which I find quite handy too. But I still find Salifert the most accurate
-
This is the greenest I have ever came across too
Make it OPEN 
-
hows the pair of lovebirds doing?
MIA
:cry: -

Yeah... perhaps the Live Sand is not sufficiently matured
