Finally! New place...new tank!

Beautiful Coral and all are opening up nicely

Parting shot with the frogspawn for now since not much changes to FTS

[Mellow]

Current parameters as follows. MG coming up a tad too slow I feel

Sg: 1.0235

Calcium: 425

dKH: 10.2

Mg: 1170

Still haven't gotten down to measuring nitrate and phosphate though. Thankfully no signs of any new tank syndrome like hair algae, diatoms, red slime etc yet. Keeping fingers crossed and using that as proxy when it's really urgent to test for phosphate and nitrate

Current husbandry:

1) Change 5% water every 2 weeks. Too lazy to mix on salt water. Buy pre-mixed water from aquamarin now. Believe they use Fritz salt and RO/DI water

2) Clean skimmer cup every 4-5 days

3) Daily dose of 60ml C balance A and 60 ml C balance B and 120ml of Mg solution (mixed myself with the MgCl salt from Iwarna). I'm dosing at intervals of 1 hour using the bubble magus dosing pump

4) Weekly testing of parameters like Mg, Ca, dKH and SG for now

5) Bi weekly topping up of fresh water reservoir with distilled water from NTUC

6) Clean glass tank and observe all corals and fishes everyday. Think that's the best test.

7) Most painful part of my maintenance is to climb up the ladder to put back toppled corals as I try as far as possible not to epoxy them. Almost every other day, something sure topple . Haha. Tiring!

Nice thread! For a moment I thought I went into RenoTalk forum I like the theme of your renovation and the choice of colours. It seems that light coloured wooden grains is the 'in' thing nowadays.

Your tank's laminate colour is also my favorite. Nice!!

thanks Jeff. Glad you like it... I'm really enjoying my new place, and of course, the fish tank. Hehe

[Mellow]

RIP!! Tried to frag off the affected part without success

[Mellow]

Not much changes to my tank except a few new purchases... Including 2 nice monti digi frags from Joe and a derasa.

Thanks Joe for the tip. Will be running by to your place more often next time for those stable stuff!

The new green digi. Nothing too fanciful but love digis due to their fast growing attributes and enhancing the scape of the tank eventually

[Mellow]

Another view from the other side of the tank

[Mellow]

And the purple polyp brown base monti digi. Sorry about the real lousy pictures. Looks black to me actually

[Mellow]

Really fast growth by the green monti cap with some other recent frags

[Mellow]

Anyone who can ID this? Bought a month back and colours and PE are holding up well but seems much slower growth

[Mellow]

Love monti caps. Another one from pinnacle last week. Yellowish green polyps with a uglylooking greenish brown body.haha. But oh well. Love the shape though

[Mellow]

Sad to see the orange monti tip burnt after falling directly into the torch coral below. Should be on its way to recovery looking at the tissue covering over the dead parts slowly

[Mellow]

Not much changes to the other corals and fishes so far

[Mellow]

And the fishes

[Mellow]

Finally bought the test kits for nitrate and phosphate for a test as well. Pretty satisfied with current levels. Now the parameters are fairly stable, think I can make do with fortnightly testing before progressing to monthly tests:

Sg: 1.0245

Calcium: 425

dKH: 9.6

Mg: 1380

PO4: 0

NO3: seems like 0 to me. Didn't get a chance to do the low range test as I threw the test water away before I read about it

[Mellow]

Droopy cauli. Wonder if the big piece is also breaking away as i understand that could be its normal reproductive method. I noticed a small branch also came out previously and got stuck under a rock work. Or maybe it is lacking some nutrients as it seems a little thinner lately as well

[Mellow]

Oh... Totally forgot abt the derasa. Been a while since I've seen one

Could be a A. Loripes.

Could be a A. Loripes.

thanks bro for the lead. I'll see if I can also do an ID with some googling help based on your inputs
