Right now, all my corals are with my friends tank. Will collect back slowly few pieces by few pieces every week when my tank is stabled after cycling (:

Most probably tank will come this saturday "if my dad is free on that day" or else it will be postponed!

Have already bleached all my liverocks ~70-80kg.

Have also completed the drying process & soaked them in rodi with prime.

Bought another 20kgs of tonga rocks not long ago & have soaked them together with some of my previous rocks in straight vinegar to remove phosphates, coppers and other impurities.

Now, 40% of my rocks is soaking in rodi with daily 100% wc.

While 60% of my rocks is ready to be used.

It is a long and tedious process, but to me, its definitely worth it. No more aiptasia , bad crabs , bristle worms , etcetc.

A clean and fresh start.

30litres of White Vinegar soak :

Tank , sump , ato tank will come on weekdays. Either mon or tues. Cant wait!! Have not been reefing for a month !

Today just brought in the stand & have also placed order for my lighting. Will come roughly 3weeks.

Hot dip galvanised steel.

Back view of the stand.

First , have to tear down the window grills to bring it in as my house door width is only 70cm.

After tearing

Here comes the stand in place (: 3 sided view this time instead of 2 ( my previous tank )

Elcb for my tank.
