My Reefing Chronicles

[Admiraltian]

My Bet its The Light.

What light are you using?

If you say you can see burn marks..might be bleaching Cause of lighting stress..

Your no3 bro?

Can Your Light increase by 1%? That Will be better to acclimate them.1% every 3-4 days until desired Intensity..I Doubt Its Pest..beacause your trachy also fading..And What Is Pest Got to do with fading..

Hope Your Solve it soon bro

Cheers!

Morning!

Happy Reefing!

Thanks, will try to resolve soon, I'm using ecotech radion gen1 tgt with solite 4xT5 set. It can be set to 1% but I find there's no effect so I rather incre by at least 3-5% as compared to prev intensity as can be seen from our naked eye?? Maybe I'm lazy if incre 1% every 3-4days, as radion need to USB connect to my laptop in order to prg to chg the setting.

Your 80% light on for how many hour a day. If it is burning you can reduce the time by 10%

Noted, bro. My radion on for 10hrs but only 6hrs r intensified, beginning and ending of the day is quite low powered and blueish setting ard 20K. T5 on for 8hrs. Since my lps only one is affected, I moved that piece shaded behind some rocks.

Anyway, my radion going cuckoo nowadays. It seem to program itself on its own. Can alw hear the button pressing clicking sound, the lighting intensified on and off, switching of modes, basic to natural, artificial to basic on its own???!!! Getting regular occupancies of this nowadays. Any users encountered the same problem as me? I hv to off and on back and press it to switch bk to my artificial setting but it's only temporary fix. After a few hrs or days , it will happen again. Kinda irritated by it!!

Purple Loch Ness!!

Another angle after it drop off the frag plug, I hv to glued it. This way looks better to me, ha ha. Sorry for the blueish look. I'm kinda lousy photographer!!

Seriously, bro, I'm not too sure myself. But I guess the light kinda over stressed it too much. Could be my water too since calcium level overshot too.

Long time never update, lots of pariah macro algae growing all over my tank,

Ochtodes,

Neomeris annulata all over my tank,

Some ventricaria at the back of my tank,

Caulerpa racemosa overran on some rocks and in my sump,

Some mangrove in my sump,

Some caulerpa racemosa, botryoladia & chaetomorpha in my sump too.

Some ugly turf and dunno what algae growing in my DT,

Despite all these, some of my sps actually colored up.

My ssc took like more than 6 mths to color up,

Kitkat still brown overall but tips & base start to change color.

Tricolor valida rhs color is nicer as being blasted by led.

Light pink stylo with blue/green polyps

One of my fav lps, red fungia with green tenacles, color getting nicer.

Lastly, some additions,

Sunset & reverse sunset monti,

Another Scoly, heheheh...

Red chalice from bro kkk121,

Pink goniopora not doing so well, hope it can recover.

Last pic of the day, suppose to be red but become orange with some tips green Mille,

That's all for today, thks for reading.

[Admiraltian]

Did a major water change last wk using nsw cos I think some of my parameters kinda haywire and the need to freshen things up.

Cloudy water after WC.

Add 3 more sps, dunno the names except for the rose Mille,

FTS after water clears,

My wing screw on my sc1455 broke a week back while I'm trying to take out my skimmer pump for servicing for the first time. Lol. Luckily got a replacement screw mailed to me by RD. Thanks, Simon, u guys r awesome!!

The screw is made of plastic instead of the old one which is nylon and breaks easily. Would suggest users of sc1455 to change it if they still using the old nylon wing screw.

Here's how the screw look like.

Got a new toy yday, haven't set it yet. Gonna sell off my old 2nd hand gen1 radion soon.

Can't wait to set it up!!
