Picture taken with handphone, Overall colour improved but maybe nutrient too low or because of T5, the colour of the SPS is rather pale compare to when using MH. For my experiment, most of the brown sps is coloured on the tip, bleached sps also turning brown with slight colour tip. But kit kat turn brown and start to STN, changed location and the STN stopped. The growing part is good but not much poly extension.

Getting more colourful and more beautiful after each dream.

Hello......Wow! Nice BB Tank! There must be a reason why SPS tank owners are converting from SSB to BB. Btwn, how is your yellow wrasse doing w/o a sandbed to sleep nw?

Hmmmm the yellow wrasse jump out so I dun have le. Now I only have a mystery and 6 line wrasse.

I think there is no correct or wrong method about having barebottom or sandbed, more of personnel preference.
