These corals have been in my tank for more than a month. Let's see some 'before' & 'after' effect. Some pale colors from RR Oz shipment really darken in my tank. Before https://cloud.tapatalk.co

Bro u still dip all corals before putting in?

Yup. No matter how long you have been reefing or where the corals are from always dip. I dip eventhough the corals are from reefers whose tank have no problem. Always trying to play safe than sorry.

Hi reefers, as most of you know I've already been slowly decom-ing my tank. I know it's hard to do so but sometimes good things don't last and we just have to accept that. This is my second Marine tank and I can say it's so much better than the first tank. I have been in this hobby for almost a year and I really learnt a lot from all of you. Without this forum or without all of you posting your beautiful tank i won't come this far. I also met a lot of helpful and wise people in this hobby. What happened with my tank was chiller break down. I didn't expect that to happen. Unfortunately it did when I was working. Temperature shoot up from 25degree to 36degree. Too late to save any sps. This is one of the most silly mistake I have made. For all the reefers out there please don't make the same mistake as me. Always spend a bit more to get either I socket or apex to alert you when your tank temperature goes wrong. I'll be taking a break from this hobby as for now. You will never know maybe I'll come back strong and bigger. Stay tune. Last but not least, I would really like to take this opportunity and thank every single one of you here ! I really learnt a lot from this hobby. Thank you!
