Yup! Expected more for 15days !!
Both picture taken at slightly different angle. Agree with James, small growth of digi
Almost Same angle lah haha. How to get 100% accurate hahhhh
For that amount of growth in 9 days, is the growth considered normal or accelerated caused by the milk?
Considered slow. But is not caused by milk (:

walao The slow growth i guess is because i have been maintaining 350ppm calcium all along. I didn't know until today i check !!! Pekcek.

Slowly bumped it back to 400.

With this zeolight system, i observed i have lesser sps casualty compared to biopellet as well as better colours.

I have stopped using phos remover since 1.5 week ago Too as nitrate and phos can be taken care by reef vitality. I guess thats the reason why sometime ppl kena stn sps when dosed reef vit is because system already v.low nutrient + reduce even more nutrient by reef vit as well as clearer water = stronger light concentration.

Furthermore , ultra Min S also have some carbon source in it as it have the smells of vinegar.

Btw,

Full zeolight system + ultra seafan cost me 35$/month to run.

Still Much cheaper than when i was running biopellet , keep mix and match supplements here and there and go up to 65$/month.

Kh have been rock stable at 134ppm all along.

Everyday still 3ml of milk. No ill effect again.

Everyday also 4 drops of zeovit aahc and 2 drops of brightwell lugol all along.

Everyday 2 day feed ultraseafan to sps.

Didnt buy any new sps for 3weeks liao. First time for me after i started chiong sps.

Hunting pink lemonade.. anyone willing to sell a frag ?? Anyone in singapore ???

3-4Hours ago i was kalk pasting some majano anemone and hydroids. So far so good , cant see any of them for now. Not even a single soul of them!!

At the same time , took some pics since i offed my return pump + wavemaker. Lol

Id?

Stunning colours for the sps bro! Seems fm systems always get good colouration from what I've read so far. I have never trusted bio pellets, wanted to run it initially, but decided to go with probiotic dosing.

Thanks mann hahah Have followed Some sps tank thread in rc, was wowed by the coloration and success and claude have been veryvery helpful in replying all my questions regarding the system/dosing makes me change to full fauna marin system. Never regretted! Its my 9months of first time keeping saltwater tank this month haha. My failure with biopellet is due to using too much biopellet , about 700-800ml i think and i feed super duper little. 1 time Pellet every 2-3days for fish and no frozen cube. Sps pale , poor pe and Some stn. Biopellet can be very free of maintenance and successful but must feed alot.and I mean alot. The best inspiration for biopellet system is "krzystof reef" , damn awesome!!

Bro, u are good example of good reading up and research before jumping in to this hobby. Safe to say i've not seen many who are able to reach this standard with their first marine tank. Also a good thing is that now adays information is more availble, and technology has come a long way in this reefing hobby. Harder to keep sps are now made more available to the majority of us.

ps. Waiting for ur frags to grow big big, than can come visit and rape ur tank bro. haha
