I still remember those days when i used a pincer to catch the nudis. It grow so big that it roam ard freely when the lights are on! Even the wrasse i kept find it not so tasty to consume! hahaha

Hi bro, nice scape, 1 thing to take into consideration will be the lighting, what lighting will u be using? example if using mh, those are under mh, the par will be high so can actually scape lower under the light and scape higher at the side to maximise the lighting, For T5 the center will be strongest and side weakest and the light is quite well spread. Just a suggestion. :cheers:

Thanks bro for the advice. Very good point that u have highlighted. I using 6 x Ati sunpower n 2 x DE T5. The fixture can be moved forward or backward. So I can still make adjustment when is needed.

I looking forward to the day to buy some frags frm u to try when the tank is ready!

Yup it will be good to switch on all 8 tube for 4-6hrs, the rest of the time, 2 tubes will be enough.

depend on your scape if the whole rock scape is under the 8 tube then should be ok, if not just place your sps under the 8 tube, the rest of the lps can put at the side, ATI sunpower is very strong.

And the external controller bought frm Derek to cntrl the hailea 0.5hp chilller. Kick in for abt 1 hr & 15 mins. Able to substain temp frm 26 to 27 degree for 3.5 hrs, without T5 running. Vast improvement in my opinion.

See hw it goes when the T5 r switch on.

I guess is okay, let them be a spike. Am looking for live critters such as amhidpod (wrong spelt) but no luck so far

amphipods will start growing once your refugim is stable. I used to have my refugim flooded with them. Good for keeping mandarin fish. Grow some cheato and possibly mangrove.

cheers!

With the recently itch that broke out abt a mth ago, lost quite a no. of fishes. Itch started frm YT after I try to remove the cyno that was covering more than 80% of the dsb. Well, till today's things r getting slightly better with 5% water change every week, dosing of bacteria daily (50 to 70% of the recommended dosage) . Right frm day one, been dosing special blend, mb7 and prodibio. Lately started with polylab reef resh carbon dosing. Into the fourth week and dosed based on 100g. Water seems clearer and more skimmate that I need to wash the cup twice a week. Since then, tune for dry skimming to reduce maintainence.

Tank is into the fourth month n I think the new tank syndrome is almost kept at bay, well not quite yet. There are still some water parameters that I need to tweak n doing it slowly. Also bought 3 x algae snails and another 3 abalone frm recent Irwana recent Cebu shipment and u can see green hair and brown algae are almost gone. Some leftovers at the rock but I reckon it soon be gone with the starving cleaning crew.

Lastly bought grotech A, B, C and started to dose yest 50% of the recommended dosage .

You can see the tank has less brown n green hair algae nw except those on the rock.. So I have increased the intensity and duration of the photosynthesis period... Due to the very warm wheather these days, the sunpower unit pop out a exclamation sign when the working temp exceeds 45 degree C. With the standing fan, managed to reduced to 41 degree C without overheating the unit.
