Not difficult at all. Just needs some light and flow. It's photosynthetic. I think the difficulty comes from the fact that it can get stressed quite easily if there are temperature fluctuations

Just mixed up some live algae for my tank. A mix of Dunaliella salina, Tetraselmis chui, and Isochrysis galbana:

How much per day are you feeding for your 3x2x2 tank volume?

I've been dosing about 200+ml per day. But with the increased productivity now, probably 400ml a day thereabout. Hope it isnt too much.. haha

[MarCal]

Thanks for reply. Care to explain what u meant by ‘’mix’? Grind them?

Some Acropora tenuis. Looks like the cherry bomb tenuis to me.

The microalgae (Dunaliella, Tetraselmis, and Isochrysis) are cultured in saltwater so I poured equal amounts of each into a bottle for a "mix".

Thanks... pse let me know if you are fragging

Quick sharing here (summary of my experience with a green scat). There were some aiptasia that sprung up around my tank. Reefhobbyistmagazine reported that scats (a type of fish) are known to eat aiptasia. I bought my green scat (the spotted fish in the picture) from Polyart at Clementi for $4.50. Acclimatised it to full marine conditions in 3 days. Purchased on 21 July 2018. First time I saw it eat aiptasia in my tank - 12 August 2018. Has since decimated the aiptasia population. However, it is not very nimble so it is unable to consume all aiptasia (especially those lodged in small, hard to reach crevices). But, I should note that it has eaten aiptasia between my zoanthids without eating the zoanthids. My green scat also eats amphipods, frozen food, pellets, and algae.  Has not bothered my other fishes, corals (aside from aiptasia), and derasa clam.

This fish is venomous so handle with care.

This post is just a documentation of my experience with this fish. Attempt at your own risk and I make no representations as to the efficacy, safety, reef-safeness, and behaviour of green scats.

 thanks haha hope it's useful for reefers who are open to trying less conventional livestock. Yea but they do grow big :/ haha

Been a long time since I've updated. Could finally get a new tank built back in September 2019. Sharing some pictures here for now.

Nothing much is happening, just waiting for some corals to grow and for the tank to be more stable in time to come. Hopefully, the tank will be able to keep Acropora as the circuit breaker ends...

Tank

3' x 2.5' x 20", 3-sided crystal glass

Equipment

Ecotech Vectra M2

Ecotech Radion G4 (x 2)

ATI sunpower dimmable, 8 x 39W

Deltec 1500i

Jebao wavemakers (SLW-30 and SOW 20 if I'm not mistaken)

Rocks and bio media

Marco rocks

10L siporax

4L Seachem pond matrix

3kg of Maxspect Bio-spheres

plus a bag of bacteria king bio media

 

FTS (Almost everything is a frag):

Sump (haphazard placement of fluidized reactor for now. Waiting for the circuit breaker period to end before I can purchase some properly sized piping for the reactor):

Side-view (with dying corals I tried to rescue):

Hoping that these grow up well (not the bubble algae):

Thanks! I got them from various shops and reefers. Haha just gotta slowly look out for stuff that catch your eye

 

Separately, close-up of a rare coral :p Has a slight green tint to the polyps but that is lost in the photography ):

Anastromvos leather:

"Baby" Anastromvos leathers. The way these corals reproduce asexually is very interesting. They form little polyp-less buds that eventually roll off the mother colony and over a few weeks these detached buds grow polyps and attach themselves to grains of sand (and then I glue them lol)
