Just finish having a fresh water cleanse.. now preparing for cycling.. till i pour in water. Water will be available from the water change from my tank. More bacteria in water.. Cycling of bacteria will need some source of food if not bacteria will dies off... Maybe i will keep some fishes or throw in some zoas food..

From GO.

Did the extension on the branch with the additional part that bought.

Use epoxy to join the extension of the branchn use the left over rock skin to paste on top the purple epoxy.

[stevenchia]

Another clear shot on the joint.

Some dumb drawings i make for the coral placement. (Pls font laugh..)

I just divided it into 2 positions. Low and high lighting.

Putting the scape out under the light, will roughly give u an idea which area are more suitable for coral that needs higher lighting.

Better placement for corals.

[Admiraltian]

Very detailed planning.

[stevenchia]

Thanks.. Tot someone will say picasso drawing..

[johnmariados]

Wow! You preparing for competition and still put out your "secrets" for all to see. Good on you bro!

[stevenchia]

No problem at all. It not secret.. I would love to share with everyone here.

[stevenchia]

Increased more holes for ar.. now it looks more like a live one.

[stevenchia]

Last, started pouring in water and start cycling...

[stevenchia]

Next some livestock update..

Purple tentacles gonio, it was small eventually like a ping pong ball.

3 days later became like a football..

No choice but try cutting it to half.

[stevenchia]

Things that need to be use.

1. Newspaper

2. Cloth

3. Saltwater in cup

4. safety glasses

5. Chisel

7. hammer

8. Electric saw

[stevenchia]

1st, remove it from water n shake the coral until all the tenacles closed up.

To minimize any damage to the ciral.

2nd, place the coral under a cloth to stop the coral from moving.

Use the handy saw to saw about 1 cm deep into coral.

Drip some salt water on coral to prevent heating up as sawing process.

3rd, use a hammer n chisel to break it into halves.

4th, wash the coral up and dip some coral rx or iodine if possible.

Its done now.

[stevenchia]

10mins later in tank.
