January video update! Slightly longer than the usual videos, wanted to take some close up shots of corals and fishes.

Video was filmed with my sumsung mobile s3, so i couldnt capture the actual colours of the corals.

Hope you enjoy the video, watch in 1080p if your internet allows.

My updated fish list:

8 x Longspine Cardinals

2 x Black ice clowns

2 x Yellow coris

1 x Melanurus Wrasse

1 x Diamond Goby

1 x Flame Angel

1 x Hippo Tang

1 x Yellow Tang

1 x Sunburst Anthias

Haha, put already. But wavemaker keeps pushing it aside. Just gonna leave it. Don't wanna shift the wavemaker. Corals seem happy with the direction of flow at the moment.

Once again, had to move some corals around as my blue stag was already touching the surface, and didn't want it to stop growing.

Heres the new look, hopefully I didn't make it worst. The new look seems to have a bit more balance look for both sides of the rocks.

Heres the blue stag that was touching the surface, sadly, only half the colony was growing fast, while the other half was a little retarded due to half colony getting lesser lighting.

Maybe now it can start growing more evenly.

I got the same annoying problem from the cr as you.

Anyone knows where to get a pinch valve similar to the picture below?

I've came home twice to my CR valve being stuck, starting to make me uneasy when i leave home. Good thing i always notice it soon enough. The normal black valve has a tendency of getting air trapped.
