Nice scape, keep the photos coming...

[Hon]

Wahhhh... so long no update liao. Tank still the same, no add coral for very long. No place to squeeze in, problem with small tank, how i miss my 6.5 footer. Weather been hot, temp is average at 31-32 deg these days. Hope cool weather quick quick come....

[Admiraltian]

Your corals looked so much nicer now. Look bigger too.

[Hon]

Finally surrender myself to constant topping up of water and constantly monitoring the water temp cooled by an A/C fan. I got myself a brand new 1/3 hp chiller.

Can advice what is the standard temp setting to use these days? My chiller control temp in 0.5 difference. Thanks.

hi bro! very happy to see you back, hope i would have the chance to meet you and learn from you. True guru!! still remember your awesome tank when i just started reefing.

Tank is from CR Aquarium. Using 2x AI Vega for lighting. Skimmer is a skimz sm201 in sump model.

Does CR Aquarium help you with the design like calculating the overflow and sump design? Don't mind PM me how much? Thanks.

[Hon]

I guess they do help with the advice and calculation. Mine is drawn to spec for them to build, visit them only 20mins and settle all Liao.

Have lost a few coral due to high temp of 32 deg. Decided to install a 1/3 hp Arctica chiller, hope coral will be happier. Update some pics of tank as of today.

sad to hear that I have been following your posts (quietly) and I've (quietly) been observing the ways of the hidden dragon I love your tank! So simple yet so beautiful

Dream big, achieve bigger

how did your temperature shoot up to 32 degrees? Wasn't the chiller already set up some time back?

I installed my chiller less than 2 weeks ago. Before putting the chiller online, water temp rose to 32 deg for the past few days and was at 31 most of the days. SPS start to stn from bottom up. Hammer coral get brown jelly and melted away. Even a zoas colony start to close and die off. After much thought, for the health of the coral in the long run, I bought the chiller.

Very nice corals..love ur 3 side tank views n both side access to sump..ur sump very clean..swee..

[Hon]

Have some time today, pick up a red goni and a prata, my very 1st prata since I start reefing 20yrs back. Please advice how to keep and maintain prata. Thanks.

[Hon]

Got my new toy today. It's a AI Director. Now I can control my 2 vega light with different light intensity. But there aren't 20 channel per light set, it only does per colour adjustment.

Succession to keeping prata alive is choosing your condiments: curry or sugar? Hehe

Low - moderate flow medium lights. Same as other meaty corals like acans and blastos
