Finally back to reefing after a long break.

Setting up a simple 2 Ft with just my Tonga branches.

Rocks were tie with black cable tie, overtime, it will be encrust with coraline from past experience.

Rest were bond with EpoPutty. Good stuff !

Added an old living live rock to speed up cycling process. (which will be remove once its complete)

Forgot to buy prawn !

Equipment currently,

Skimmer: Skimz SH1

Wave Maker: jebao Rw 4

Think of getting another wave marker in case the Jebao break down too.

Will be buying a lightset soon.

Thinking of those 2 T5 tube or Maxspect glaive,

Difference is $200 bucks, hahaha.

Any suggestions ? :D

Superb .. your Tonga Theme is power !!!!!

Where did you manage to get all Tonga at one go? It must have taken you quite a while ...

Oh, collected over the years. Used to have a 3.ft x 2 ft x 2.5 ft tank.

Thanks for the kinds words.

Glad to know they Sg still got sell Tonga branches. I wonder what is the price now.

Hmmm, apparently there's some diatom appearing on my rock(before I used those LED). I was running with T5.

Given that I have no live stock, just did water change after cycling....

I suspect the Bottled distill water I got from NTUC, isn't that pure afterall....

Take it as it's the stages of algae ^^

They will go off eventually. As long as not hair algae.. ^^

And YOU ARE RIGHT NTUC distilled water not that pure. About 5ppm tested on tds pen. :) what it is I'm not sure..

Maybe I too used to matured live rocks. Seldom see diatom in my previous tanks. oh well. :D

Still dun know where to get new supply of distilled water since NTUC raise its prices.

New true percs. Finally get them to eat after 4 days of not eating.... However, after 1 week, began to fight and the smaller one got its tail nip off. Isolating them now.

Thought of housing ur chaeto in external breeding box? So you free space in tank and looks nicer? :D and also prevent fish from getting trapped.

Chaeto Dying ! I find those external breeding box kinda small.

I suspect could be not enough flow, but its above my wavemaker.

Thinking of DIY a algae scrubber instead. Still sourcing for ideas..
