My Reefing Chronicles 2

[Admiraltian]

Long time nv update....

Bought a few new corals....from Bali & Tonga.

Unknown Bali blue color sps. Broke it to 2 pieces while trying to remove its base. Placed them at two locations but close by each other.

Unknown Tonga purple table.

Another Tonga dirty green bush shaped acro.

This nice green table milli didn't survived and rtn the very next day. Too sensitive to me overdosing af coral e a little & my KH drop to 5-6dkh.

Nice Tonga Acro Nana from SA.

Another mishap this mth, my ice fire also suddenly stn, not very sure why, believed it's due to me overdosing some elements accidentally.

My bean animal open channel stop valve leaks again another a mth or so. Really disappointed. Gonna chg out this faulty which I believe it's the source of the problem. Somehow it will come off loose by itself after running for a while. First time after setup, it last 4mths then it's leaks. After took it out by tank maker and tightened it bk. Starts to leak again after 1.5mths. Currently swapped the oc durso with the emergency but still it's leaks a little but not as bad as running it fully as the open channel. Hoping it's Juz the valve that's the root cause now & gonna get it fixed soon.

3 days of wet skimming...

 

Currently my tank having a low KH issue but my sps seems to be loving it, colors appeared brightly. Tried adjusting bubble counter to more bubble per min to inject more co2 on my cr but to no avail. KH still remained low at ard 5.7-6.1dkh. Also dosed aquacraft liquid KH buffer and sodium bicarbonate solution but only temporary bring up KH. Once stopped for a day, KH will dropped back to below 6dkh. I guess maybe my bm cr size can't support my sps or I need to top up the media in the chamber. So far only 1/4 burned & 3/4 media still remaining in chamber.

Maybe you can consider adding kalk to your auto top up to help compensate with the ca uptake
