FTS from a slightly elevated view

K... here's the FTS

Sol Super Blue model White, Blue and Royal Blue CREE LEDs in 1 cluster. Total 8 clusters. Mounting kit. In operation.....

kekeke yes bro !!!! Miss you guys.....

Lightset Currently using the AquaIllumination Lightset. Purchased from Premium Aquatics. The power supply. Supports 240VAC The driver - blue backlit. Comes with timer, sunset sunrise function. Able to control the intensity of the LEDs from 0 - 100% for both white and blue.

Hey Wilson Go slow? Yup will try to go slow..... Defintiely not chionging like last time Have not got any dosing device leh. Heard yours are doing wonders. would you reccommend it? Ideally I think I will get one if I am keeping SPS. Test kit - you gotta wait longer liao. I need to get a replacement set 1st.

OK back to my D&D tester..... Was planning to test my water. When I opened the box, the alkalinity solution bottle has already leaked. The instruction booklet was damp and stained. I need to make another trip to Iwarna to make a swop.... not sure if I should be disappointed or happy. I have an excuse to go shopping liao.

lol,.... what fun is that then? I was actually thinking of doing just that. gluing some of the rocks above the base so that it looks suspending. think of Avatar the movie scenary..... then shrimps can hop from a "suspended" plateau to another plateau........... but alas, no time to really do that......

kekeke..... you are sooooo right... hehe.... will do that tonight !

Test Kit Bought the D&D Mulit Test kit pack. Mg, Alk & Ca

yeah... lights are off. I am not that rich to waste electricity. as for dead rocks, I am not sure if you should term those stuff trapped inside as nutrients... ha...

hehe..... practice makes perfect, so they say. I am definitely not there yet though.

My Live rocks. I have some left over dead rocks. glued them together to form a scape. They are the rocks in white on the right in the picture below. The newer ones purchased from CF are the darker coloured ones. I glued these 5 pieces together to form the back drop. So the new rocks are glued together and the old rocks are glued as another aquascape. There are sufficient space for the The old rock (white ones) scape to be rotated 360 deg in the space at the front When I need a new FTS perspective, all I need to do is to rotate or tilt it to any angle desired. Hopefully this way, there will be less toppling of rocks and yet at the same time, I can get a fresh FTS easily. These rocks cost a bomb but the shapes are really interesting. Very easy to scape. Glued using BSI gel. (the white patch in the middle of the picture.) Lots of tunnels, crevices, arcs, passageway for the fishes

Thanks Ignatius... Next time you head out to Iwarna... drop me a call... I need a lift

Hiya Jun. Don't know yet. Definitely do not think it will be very elaborate till I decided on my new tank. Thinking of a 2ft length x 2.5 ft width (0.5 ft IOS) x 1.5ft height. => There's an IQ3, IQ5 ... mine is the IQ20 : For the time being, will just keep it simple.... (no promises of course... haha) ..... hehe..... YJ, your office tank is very motivating bro..... tracking it My girls will definitely keep bugging me to buy tons of fishes.... how to keep SPS?? lol.... Hey Luke - how's your QT tank coming? Your new mega tank leh? ordered? Hey Marc..... sure. will hang around as long as there are no strong winds..... simple sounds good ! like just a FOWLR ... hehe Thanks bro ! Hey Gary..... Sure thing.... pics of live rocks upcoming tonight.... haha

So its back to square one today. The Sandbed - just a thin layer of Caribsea Argonite black sand. There are slight speckles of white sand which makes it look more natural.

Hello. Carrying on where i left off. It has been almost a year since I started neglecting my tank. Was busy with work and then we had a major crisis over my baby's health. Thank God for his blessings and healing hands. Everything is good now. I have more work life balance now with the addition of 5 headcounts and my baby princess is recovering well. So.... back to reefing .... Was contemplating decomming as my tank has virtually turned into a live rock exhibit. At the same time, was also thinking of upgrading.. Those who have been at this crossroad definitely will understand the contradicting thoughts... decomm... upgrade... decomm..... upgrade.... really WTF..... Then I saw the Mazarra thread..... wow ...... I am actually one of those techie nerd..... sometimes i believe i am more into gadgets than reefing.... . Then a close friend of mine ordered a new tank and I was helping them with the purchase and set up and slowly.... i just had the urge to restart all over again. As I am still undecided what sort of tank i want next, i have decided to stick with my old eqpt and tank for the time being. And so my voyage begins again .... for the umpteen times. Last Friday. Cleaned up all the the eqpt with vinegar, wash up the tank. rescape my remaing rocks. Saturday, went over to CF to get more premium live rocks. Sunday... Scaping completed ======================================================================== Quicklinks FTS: : , Checkers : , Kit : Medias : New Tank : resources :
