Bro thanks for your suggestion... yes the bottom of the tank is wrapped by a plastic skirting. So there are more sand hidden from view (which I like). Definitely more than 2" thick.

Just finish transferring 15% of my Nano's water to Perc90. Parameters: Sg: 1.022 pH: 8.0 Ammonia: <0.3 Will get 2 pieces of medium size uncured rock from LFS after work tomorrow to kick-start the ANN cycle. Let it rot for 3 days, then introduce a large amount of cured LR this Saturday (must collect from bro already, his deal confirmed last weekend). Will look at other parameters like Nitrates and Nitrites on Friday. Pix: My Pico tank, lol!!!

Reduce to $70.00!!!

Bro Tigger, Tunze has a stronger version (for thicker glass) if u wanna consider. For me, can't really tell as my glass is still very clean right now, have not try removing tough algae. Bought this some time ago, can't use it on my NC coz it is too strong. It's hard to move the magnet without shaking the whole NC. Hope this helps.

Bro sad to hear that... phew what a decision to make ... Flame Angel or Clam?

Full tank view The Tunze Magnetic Cleaner is there to remove the bubbles accumulated on the glass panel. The lower left corner is the control panel for Tunze Osmolator (water top-up device). Starting to look at wiring also coz there are so many wires and cables around

My refugium... temporarily hanging a 1ft PL outside the tank (vertically) as lighting for my Chaeto. The PL will run 24 hours for the next few days. Again, I hope this will help introduce some extra bacteria and get rid of some undesirable nutrients in the water.

Another "Brokeback Fishtank" day Sg is now 1.021 (using Aqua Media Reef Salt) Will do basic parameter testings later. Moved the following from my Nano to Perc90: 1. 1-month old Chemipure (will throw in a new bag back into Nano tomorrow) 2. Sponges 3. 3 pieces of LR 4. Tiny bit of sand 5. Chaetomorpha (into the right compartment aka refugium) I hope this will help transfer some bacteria over to the new tank... speeding the cycle. Added some Aquapharm Bacteria Starter (I used this for my nano). Let the cycle begins

Is this normal???

Thanks bro... definitely TOTM... for May 2020!!!

Yeah this hobby is like a black-hole ###### all our resources in... but I really can't think of another hobby that offers the same level of satisfaction... come on... a piece of the ocean at home? How many people can actually own that? lol Wait for my tank to cycle... then we go shopping spree!!! lol

Thanks bro... still trying to put pieces of equipments together... will have to get some rubber tubes after work today to continue... Will get Sg level to 1.022 tonight. Will also transfer some water from my Nanocube to the main tank (vice versa) to start the cycle. Will add in some starter bacterias too. Also, planning to transfer a few pieces of small LR from my NC's back compartments into the new tank's back compartment. Need to speed things up coz need to collect LR from a bro this Saturday... sorry bro to keep u waiting

Wow! So that's how they multiply... hahaha. Mine is about 8cm, but no sign of long polyps... em... perhaps give it a bit more time, just had it for less than a month... psst... I bought it for $4.00, lol!!!

I have not decided on a hood yet... hehe TOTM quality? Em... I'll be crossing my fingers all the way... I think I will explore a bit more different kinds of LS before deciding whether to go SPS or LPS... again, it can always be a combination of both. Actually, I have this dream of having a really natural looking reef... where things grow everywhere, not arranged deliberately... oh I have many plans... so just need to choose one and stick to it

Not much space... too much colours!!! Love ur purple mushroom... will get some for my new tank How quickly does it spread? I see several colonies on ur sandbed.

Upzzz

Em... the Orange star is gripping the LR so hard... it refuses to be transfered to the new tank

The back compartments... I think I might have been influenced by my Nano Cube...

The overflow combs are also adjustable...

Lol mine is more like mini waves... Already add in Aqua Medic Reef Salt (got 2 packs free) from LFS so... wait and see...

Ok I will take real good care of my Sarco and hopefully one that the polyps will extend as long as yours... how long hv u been keeping this Sarco? Diameter?

Frag for me too

Love ur Sarcophyton (Toadstool Leather Coral) and your Clown... I have a baby Sarcophyton too but the polyps are like 1/4 cm long, lol!!! Does the clown affect the extension of the Sarcophyton polyps? Or they love it!

Bro been busy? Or no time to go LFS, so no update... lol

Since I do not have the 'heart' to sell my beloved ReefPack, I will place it behind the Wavebox. Will have to divert the filter outlet a little... most probably facing upwards to create more surface ripple. The Wavebox is running at 40% and it's surprisingly quiet... was expecting a lot of noise Will increase intensity once there are more resistance inside the tank
