Nice tank!

[Evolutionz]

Update: 

Its been 4 weeks since my tank went into auto pilot mode, for the past month had been really busy and am only back home on the weekend. my dad helped me with basic maintenance like feeding.. tank was stable and coloration of sps even improved! 

Here's some pictures of the update!

Red millie

Indo SSC, great to see the body turning red with nice green polyps

Tri-color valida turning really nice!

Sunset Millie finally gaining it's yellow body back!

Red dragon

Pearl berry colony getting bigger

Interesting yellow acro

Here's a video showcasing the rest of the SPS, remember to watch in 1080p60!

Yeah nice tank always nice to look at your tank. Can't wait for your lps to populate yr tank. By the way the rbta you sold me is doing great in my tank. Hopefully it can stop moving and stay at this spot. Look forward to get more stuffs from you.

hi guys! 

 

Its been half a year since i updated this thread, i've been really busy with my army life and had other priorities over reefing. the tank was often neglected but never forgotten, although i occasionally forgets to mix 2 part and the tank kH dropped all the way down to 4 (there was once it lasted a month at 4). i also stopped testing my water and eventually only did water change (10%) bi-monthly.. However, SPS were still growing like crazy but colors were never fantastic. Now that my army life is coming to an end, im getting my tank back on track and hopefully, one day, will be able to color them up nicely!

 

Some test i did this morning

 

kH : 7.8

ca : 300

mg : 1200

K : 370

 

i ran out of po4 hanna reagent so no way to check that... can see that my parameters are abit off other than the kH which i've been keeping a close look since the kH 4 saga. I also did a 20% WC with red sea salt, replaced way expired carbon & phosphate reducing media. i bought a tub of Aquaforest Phosphate minus to try out this time.

 

First off, i'll start with my pearlberry colony, bought it at a small palm size colony, im totally amazed at how big and how much it grew.. now its even bigger then my entire hand!

 

corals are also starting to grow out of the water.. ok mainly only this millie

 

red stags & red dragon both have grown twice their size since i got them.

 

 

frags turned to mini colonies and mini colonies turn to huge colonies..

 

so this was a photo taken 5-6 months ago.. 

 

and this is how my reef looks like now

 

 

 

thanks for viewing!

Glad to know you are using AF products. let us know your review.

Can i kindly check with you how your dosing regime like and do you have a sump?

Can really see the improvement

[Evolutionz]

I've been using af products for some time now, mainly only af carbon, amino acids and prebio s. I dose kh & ca via 2 parts and nothing else.. I'll tske a pic of my sump tomorrow

Here's some update! have been using Aquaforest Phosphate Minus for the past 2 weeks ( about 200ml in a filter bag), and the results are amazing! my po4 before placing the phosphate minus was 0.13ppm, and 2 weeks later it was down to 0.045ppm! i'd reckon if i had run a FR it would've been more effective. note that i feed heavily too (2-3 cubes frozen mysis daily).

 

Also snapped some colony photos;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my favourite pearl berry colony!

 

 

the ice fire beside is not dead, just lost its color! and its coming back 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i have also done 2 10% WC with AF Probiotic salt, so far not much difference from my previous Red sea.. Well it must be some power salt if i want to see differences with just 10% WC! 

 

Thats all for now, thank you for viewing!

[Jairus]
