Found more of these... 

Plus egg clusters ! 

Was told that this is a phenotype of the species Elysia obtusa, a algae feeder.

While waiting for plans for the new reef build to be finalised/fabricated, here's some closeups of shrooms grown from foot cuttings (pedal laceration)

And just some shots of Zoanthids.

Here's a rough drawing of the future sump. Any advise for improvement will be appreciated.  

Red : Water from display/refugium. Compartment will hold filter bags housing Seachem matrix/denitrate.

Orange : Water flow to Skimmer compartment 

Yellow : Flow through baffle plates which will house some media.

Green : Chiller coil compartment. 

Blue : Reservoir compartment. 

Looking to using Maxspect Nanospheres within the baffle plate compartment.  Any other media to recommend?

Recent additions (really glad to finally get these added to collection). 

[Joe_P]

Just traded for some Euphyllias.  Need some advice here, how do you tell the difference between Frogspawn and True Octos and can these be placed with hammers or torch corals?

Frog spawn and true octos can go with Hammers. 

True Octos are lumi green colors. Different between OCTOS and Frog Spawn: OCTOS doesn't have splits tips at the steam where else frog spawn they have split tips.

Both of the type mention above can't go with torch.

Thank you 

 Loving these ... However will be willing to let off 1 or 2 of these OG bounces sized around 2 cm if anyone is willing to trade for them with other premium/high end specimens/frags.

Working on the rockscape while waiting for display tank to complete fabrication.

[Joe_P]

Some equipment for the new build.

5 stage RODI inclusive of this extra tall 20 inch tall DI resin chamber 

Hopefully i got the tubing connections correct. 

 

Got these UV sterilizer and 2 sets of Jebao SLW 30 wavemakers for water quality and motion through ReefMarketSG.

Check out the size of the package.
