Yeah... I will be getting sandbed soon... once i rid of the corals on the ground. but probably just a 1 cm layer. will that do? My yellow wrasse is sleeping on hard ground now

OMG .... i really tried it Siang..... hahaha... silly me.

lol.... no worries.... used to their gimmicks by now .... hehe ..... used to Peter's too.....

Sorry hor... those vehicles are too small for me. I take the largest and the biggest ....... MRT!

PH is now 8.1 in the early morning ==> meaning in the evening, it can be as high as 8.5 think i will need to switch off lights and MCE early tonight to prevent overshooting.

okie dokie. Will keep you posted if I see the N gobies. MCE? HOB lor... towards the right side. My Filter sock is secured to the right corner too. Sorry Kiko. dun know leh. Anyone has any idea? Noted Peter. Thanks. I notice that the skimmer reaction is very fast. I feed mysis and I see the skimmate 20 - 30 mins later.... Then no skimmate liao. very effective. One problem I have now is that due to the amount of bubbling, my CO2 has gone down by so much that my PH has shot up by at least 0.25 How to lower PH Save on dosing? you mean additives like AZ NO3 or bioclean? My ORP unfortunately has dropped by 20 for some reason. hope it pick up after 2 - 3 days. Yeah I saw the zoas closed with the mysis sticking out. Can can. if the zoas are still around then but common zoas lah.

copyright infringement liao still so ya ya....

hmmm did i see my photos there..... ya doing a "Jireh" bro!!

thoughts about my tank now... Pretty please with the progress. Most of the corals are doing ok ... especially the gonio. My favorite coral in the tank now. Once I have added the sand and pass on the spare zoas that I have, I will be focusing on maintaing the tank already. would like the sunflower zoas and some of the nicer ones encrust to cover the entire LR ... wishingful thinking yeah... but hope that will become a reality. Next will be to add on more fishes. still want the following : - blue neon goby - yashia goby + Pistol shrimp - Royal gramma - splendid leopard wrasse

more real estate in your tank. better skimming and waste export functionality more media space. peace of mind from water level consistency......

Yeah sure once there are sufficient polyps you, comycus, Ray ..... are the ones who helped me kickstart my collection ..... so kinda feel indebted to you guys

update on Armour of God zoas.... I saw another 2 baby heads today when I rotated the frag plug.... woooohoooooo Total 7 heads now from one survivor.... so happy.......

i think thats the one..... well i could be wrong... but i am quite sure thats the one....

ok... I just saw my Purple death and my Armour of God zoas ate mysis......

Digibee selling a 4 month old unit..... using Peter's emoticon

awesome zoas bro ... and all in such big colony.... ** hint hint... kekekeke........ just kidding lah....

post #335, 2nd pic looks familiar?

ummm i have no more space to hang the HOB..... my chaeto box is used to house the filter sock now unless I hang it on the side and remove my filter sock....

justin, this is the one at iwarna we were looking at middle pic. http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=55130&view=findpost&p=899651

hmm its louder but not noisy. I think its normal kind of winding noise, Don't think its an defect. hmm yah I saw that.... but bro, my tank no space to hang anything already...... ask Peter... keke he saw it today.... jam pack.....

Peter!!!!! lucky you ask me to check the skimmate... I really had some wet skimmate already... infact .. 3/4 cup full...... Its not very dark but comparable to my Tunze 9002 skimmate already. wow... very impressed.... I am now setting it to get a little more dry skimmate.... hehe... so excited.....

kekeke... we are twins wat.....

you TC again lah..... but thanks for your help today

thanks Peace. So so lah... I am sure yours and Bino upcoming ones are more solid...... Vortech is placed there to push water into the reefpack cleaner module. It is rather sensitive to water level. With the pushing of water (using short pulse), I can maximise the effectiveness of the tunze cleaner module even tho my water level dropped also with more surface agitation, the is more oxygen too and temp is lower as well. I am using the vortech at about 80% power at longest interval I think I can max it at 100% but the motor does create some winding noise....

k some update on my tank..... 1) pods cultivating mod. I have been keeping chaeto in an egg crate box at the back of my tank. Well, the chaeto was surviving, I think pods are growing too but there are lots and lots of detritus stuck in the chaeto bunch. I tried lifting the chaeto out of the box and boom..... my tank was cloudy in an instant. I have got rid of the chaeto since yesterday. 2) MCE600 Got myself the above mentioned skimmer to better export waste. The 9002 is alright but I wanted something with more oomph..... was contemplating the MCE300 but the unit really look like a prototype / poly project .... so I took the jump and went for 600. Was initially worried that it might be too powerful for my tank... but guess my worries were unfounded. The water output is not strong. Instead of the drip plate that they use to reduce bubbles, I had mine connected to a 90 deg pipe and drop the output into my filtersock in the tank. After a day of using the filter sock, my tank is very very very clean and clear now. There is still some dust particles but that is because my tank is still bare bottom now. a lot of detritus on the floor. I am also glad I did not spend the extra bucks to get the optional media box. save approx $50 on that. As long as the media is in a filter bag, the media box is not required. The compartment itself is large enough for me to fill a bag of chemipure, a bag of phosphate remover and still have plenty of space left..... hehe.... The new MCE600 now comes with their own Deltec pump instead of aquabee and is rated at 2000lph + instead of the former aquabee 1200 lph. The air intake is also now increased to 400 lph instead of 300lph. EDIT: also another change is the see through panel at the collection cup. you can now see the level of the waste from the front of your tank. excellent idea! Was worried about microbubbles.... hmmmm none at all leh... the only bubbles created are the macro ones created when the water splash into the tank. but this is contained by the filter sock. I am still using the mechanical cleaner box (from my tunze reefpack 200) to connect to my chiller. In place of the carbon, I have placed cut up pieces of poly filter instead. 3) Next project is to try removing 2 - 3 white LEDs. hopefully, this will give the maxspect a more bluish output and make the corals look more flourescence.
