Dear all bros, thanks for the good words.

Due to busy schedule at work lately not really have time to update my tank and frags development.

Some frags doing well but some doesn't.

Will do some update shortly.

Indeed. From CCk, Teck Whye, B Batok down to Hillview , this is the new reefing belt. They have regular coffee sessions at B Batok. The next one, maybe some reef traders or lfs can sponsor would be

Nice sps with with a 3ft W you can have a nice aquascaping specially for SPS ( perfect size for SPS growth )

Thanks bro, too bad I don't have that kind of skill to turn my tank into sps garden. Still learning.... and long way to go....

With a tank of this width, there are endless possibilities for Sps placement. Do you intend to only cultivate frags or wil there be addition of wild and maricultured colonies?

bro honkit, actual i'm open for all as long as nice sps. I'm not good in corals. dunno how to pick a potential gem corals from lfs sps shipment. that's why I would rather buy frags from reefer.

Hi BK,

When you get to know more reefers , esp western reefers like tht79/ Alvin, Kakani/Kenny , Koji, kaiju/Louis yellowtang/mike and etc...then you can join in the joy of selecting corals in shipt. You get to know one of us, you will know all of is. Me being Uncle, the rest are young Turks...

Haha... There's the joy in reefing... Age holds no bound in lunatic reefers...

Cheers,

Yt

A tank of your size would definitely need some good-sized wild and mari-cultured colonies in addition to frags.

Just go for the colours you like as a start. Your tastes will be further refined to set preferences once you have had some success in keeping SPS corals.

Decided to shut down my RD 10000l pump with tank condition now only run RD 8000l as return. this morning checked the tank condition before out for work (without light on>_>). Conditions seem improved a lot. no more micro bubble. at least I'm happy with it:D (may upset tonight once the light is on, hope not:unsure:). suspection micro bubble came from 10000l pump.

Turn over rate is down to 9x. (2113.38/224 = 9.43)

2 MP40 will keep my DT water movement.
