[Zhi Long Oh]

He went to ur place and help u?? =0

[hansolo]

Yup, I engaged him to set up my tank. Very well done indeed!

[hansolo]

Nothing better to do on a Sunday evening... So, a water test just for the kicks.

[dinGdinG]

Can't wait to see your tank all filled up bro! Exciting times ahead!

What lights are you using btw?

[hansolo]

Using orphek Atlantik LED

Using orphek Atlantik LED

I see, care to share how isit working out for you so far? I heard about it quite often but not sure how solid is the performance of that LED lightset

[hansolo]

So far so good, though as you know I don't really have much livestock to track growth yet. Their website is not as savvy as that of other lights like aqualumination, but apparently they are being used by commercial coral farms to grow. From my research, they offer very high par value per watt, one of the highest in the mkt and they claim to have the right spectrum for good colours and growth and their led bulbs are "specially made" for that purpose.. Not sure how true, could be all made in China in reality, haha. Will update over time

[hansolo]

One downside is their user interface uses android and being an iPhone user, it took me a while to get used to. They have a lot of pre programmed lighting schedules in their app

[ReDDeviLs]

Cant imagine when its fully stock!

[hansolo]

Here's a quick update. Trying to build a Zoa garden/Rock. Thanks to bro dinGdinG and kingfish for the frags!

[hansolo]

First (movable) livestock in the tank! Watchmen goby and his trustee tiger pistol shrimp (claw only - too fast to snap)

[vurbul]

Did you get the goby and shrimp as a pair?

[dinGdinG]

Looking forward to your zoas garden~! Let's go shopping at lfs when my tank is ready!

[hansolo]

Yup. Got my goby and shrimp as a pair. Acclimatise together then slowly release to a rock structure that you want it to inhabit

[hansolo]

dinGdinG: sir yes sir!

Ricordea corner

[Admiraltian]

Nice yumas. Reminds me of traffic lights.

[hansolo]

Managed to catch my yellow goby and tiger pistol shrimp in action. Not sure what the shrimp is doing... Seems like it's dispersing its eggs here

Update on the zoa garden. Early days. Thanks for the frags - You know who you are!

[hansolo]

[dinGdinG]

Looking good! Coming along nice and slowly~~~ looks like you may start researching on fragging zoas already
