Congratulations on winning the wavemaker.

Its not hard to control. Its a nice powerful wavemaker which has more features than the Jebao RW series, so its just a matter of getting used to the buttons.

Thank you so much! It's hard for me maybe because it's my first time using it but now I managed to control it to what i wanted.

Recently just did a 70% WaterChange because of sudden ick breakout. Unfortunately i lost one of my true percula clownfish and midas. Emotional feeling because midas is my longest fish in my tank and that clownfish is my favourite. Others are still treating with Ick Shield pellet with a mixed of garlic guard. Hope my another clownfish and Purple tang will suffer this ick.

Some of my top photos while doing my waterchange.

I'm afraid the ich will always be there unless you do a 8weeks fallow. But this doesn't mean that all your fishes will get infected because some may have a strong immune system. Would treat with polyp lab medic or let it fallow

All pictures are taken by samsung s6 without any filters. Recently just add DIY 18 3watts LED to increase my par. Hopefully my colours will pop without any color elements. So far parameters are all on par.

Update abit!

Recently my kh managed to stay stable at 8-9 with my Calcium Reactor without any ph controller. Po4 is still fluctuating between 4-20 (hanna checker) trying to keep it around 15. Have been controlling my feeding to meet my requirements for my po4 and no3. Have not water change my tank for about 2 1/2 weeks. Hoping to prolong that to 3-4weeks by using DD h20 salt. It's a new salt that I'm using. Heard alot of reviews for this salt but have yet to try. Will give it a goal and hope my sps will love it!

Update !

An important lesson to learn! 

Last week i came home and greeted by a silent tank. I was shocked because my lights will still on till 12midnight. I quickly went to take a look at my tank and realised my six line wrasse is unconscious, lying down on my sand bed then i went to check what was the issue. Didn't expected one of my extension plug tripped. I believe the fuse melted due to high voltage. It didn't happened to me at all for the past 4 months plus. So I decided to get an "insurance" for my tank and after much consideration of UPS and Battery pack. I've decided to go with Battery pack with MP40 to replace my RW15. Heard from one of the reefer "Leon" his MP10 & MP40 can last for 55hours with vortech battery pack. So i hope my MP40 can last more than 55hours during power failure but it's still depends on how many percent you run. I know running at around 65%. Going to tried and see how long can my MP40 last during power trip. Lesson learnt: Just spent abit more money on reliable and reputation equipment especially like Vortech. Don't save just a bit of money by getting second hand equipments because good equipments really can help you in the future. I bought my MP40 and battery pack from REEFMARKETSG. Patrick (Owner) provides really good service, he's super thoughtful too so if you're planning to get any Reef Depot can look for him! You will definitely get a good online shopping experience! Planning to get Reeflink and L1 or  M1 from him in near future. image.jpegimage.jpeg


Review on GOLDPOD!!
Heard alot of good reviews on this too! It smells horrible(Freshness) but fishes love it! I tried feeding some to my fishes and they just eat immediately. It's really good stuff! image.jpeg

Thank you very much for your kind words. Glad that u enjoy your new toy and your fishes love the goldpods :)
