Wah major rescape......but honestly I still prefer your old look minus the corals on the sandbed.

Cheers,

Haha, both scapes got its beauty but personally I like the new one over the old one mainly cos it too cramped up and doesn't allow any new corals to go in.

Messy and like what James72 said, "Too many corals on sandbed." New scape looks fresher and have more room for imagination, Zen look in short. Less is more.

Cheers.

[james72]

Most important is you like it, the rest are secondary

New scape look a bit bare but I'm sure you will fill it up very fast.Flow wise confirm better than the old one.

U r right abt this, I took out my other 3 wm. Now only use one mp40.

[Admiraltian]

Now for the filling up part, some corals from GO today,

Everybody luvs a red gonio.

Rest r all sps...

This broke into 2 so I stick one to the overflow box.

Kitkat.

Dunno what sps is this?

FTS for today,

What a lovely tank! And yes, I love the red gonio....

[erikokelf]

Wah bro your tank from bungalow scape to hdb scape now already but look much neater now with all those space for fish to swim.

Thanks for compliments, bro.

Haha...more space for fishes but my "hdb" space still remained the same. Catchup some day, bro.

Some updates, switched to ESV 2part dosing. So far so gd, still adjusting and fine tuning my kamoer dosing pump. Aiming for 420ppm for calcium, 8dkh for alkalinity.

Also got some new fishes this wk, pardon some pic not so clear as that fish juz swam too fast non stop or my hp cam too slow, lol

Linespot flasher wrasse, fav among the four.

Red spot trimma, its alw hiding somewhere and soo....tiny.

This one a small specimen, tailspot blenny, really tiny @ slightly over 1" ba.

Now the next fish is the biggest and swam non stop, I had trouble capturing a still pic of it. Even square off with my chevron tang. Maybe ard 4", my longest fish from head to tail.

Melanurus wrasse. That's the best pic I got of him so far & also the last pic of the day, thks for viewing.

[hanafi_weeseng]

Bro,the linespot wrasse is a beauty!

[Admiraltian]

Bro,the linespot wrasse is a beauty!

Welcome to calcium reactors!

[RomeoJuliet]

Lots of gems.

[james72]

A well tune CR is the best

Nice sunset monti

James

[hanafi_weeseng]

Tank slowly filling up with gems!

[tofubox]

Haha. U gonna love the conviniance of cr! No need frequent replenisment of addictives, no need worry about dosing pump issues, frequency of measuring ca is reduced greatly, kh and ca in good balance. Don't forget, if possible get some magnesium stones and mix in there. It helps Alot. Regretted not putting mg in my reactor. If u need help with tuning let me know.

[Admiraltian]

Thanks for the welcome, bro. Hope I can use it well.

Hopefully I can tune it well enough to have stable parameters.

I hv 3 montis placed there, the one u see in the middle is chilli pepper( from bro Raymond Teo), red polyps not out yet. It sandwiched by sunset on the left and reverse sunset on the right. Only showing partially in pic.

Ya, all hassle of keep on topping up fluids for dosing pump. ESV 2parts actually quite gd compared to food grade chemicals. I can nv get stable parameters using food grade additives even when I followed Randy's 2parts mixing. But after giving it some thought, I think I give CR a try since in the long run it much more economical than using ESV 2part ca buffer system.

Bro Tofubox, I might need help but maybe not tuning the cr. Will PM u again. Haha.

I did ordered Grotech magnesium pro for cr use but now out of stock, need to wait for another 2wks or so.
