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

Read in the net not to use carbon dosing with dsb but so far so good. Worm activities can be seen nw and pods of different spieces (?) crawling all over. So far most cyno at dsb has cleared dramatically. The pair of sexy shrimp did help to eat the cyno (To my suprise).

Cheato doesn't seem to do well in my sump frm day 1. Seems to disintegrate n drift away all the time. Tried getting frm reefer and various LFS but no good results. Hence given up on cheato n tried reef nutrition red algae n grape and again, disintegrating too. Perhaps some leakage of nutrients frm this plants ...

Using 250ml of Rowas n change mthly. Half a cup of carbon in a bag and change mthly since using carbon dosing nw.

Salinity : 1.022

No3: unknown

Kh: 8.4

Ca: 380

Mg: 1320

Po4: unknown

Not measuring no3 and po4, shall leave it to my eyes for observation.. Hehe... Room for improvement as far as salinity and Ca are concerned.

Hi Sunnymau: More pics to come for sure!

Hi admiratian: Oh that is a frag plug which was detached frm one of the frags so I just dump in there! Btwn the monti cap is starting to color up, digi not yet!

Hi weeseng: One of the few tough ones that survive the itch! Probably is happy and RED with excitement to feed on the pods. I do feed the dsb with pallets, any reason why no sexy shrimp in there?

Hi bro! Not feeding on pallet yet. Some of the "blue/purplish" Sps stn since I change Rowas. Perhaps sudden reduction of po4. Think water condition not so pristine yet. Thank you for the frags..but I have to wait for my Sps to grow before the exchange ... Otherwise can I offered u some cans of 100 plus in exchange? Haha
