January 2017 update

Yeah skimmer upgrade!

Was hunting for a decent skimmer for months, finally decided to get the Reef octopus regal 150sss skimmer, rated for 800L, due to the size of the sump space I believe this is the best option I have.
Also upgraded a sump light for the refugium.

This is what I get for the first 3 days lol.
Very decent skimmer highly recommended.

Lovely! Waiting for more updates from you! I wonder how do reefers in other parts of the world manage the temperature in different seasons, guess you got to have both chiller and heaters?

Thx Sandy. I had sand in my last setup and it was so difficult to clean, so I decided to remove the sand for this setup, so far I'm happy with no sand at the bottom lol. Sent from Singapore Reef Clu

Sad news:
I lost 5 fishes due to the stresses from the move, including my favorite emperor angel and my unicorn tang.

Good news is the rest of the fish are getting better, all eating well and enjoying their new home.
Corals are doing good since I swap to the red Sea coral pro salt. ( used to use cheaper salt )

I'm currently dosing Red Sea foundation abc+ power with kh buffer solution, but I think I have large KH swing during the day, due to the quantity of supplements I dose manually.
So I'm planning to use my dosing pump on all 3 major elements and stop dosing the ABC+ powder.
Will be a bit painful now to work out the daily consumption, but I think it's a must now, if I wanna keep my sps alive lol.
So went out and bought the Red Sea Foundation test kit, hopefully in the next two weeks I will work out my dosing rate.

5 weeks of coralline algae growth!!
Tank was set up on the 25th December 2016 and 5 weeks later this is what I get on the bottom of the tank and the overflow glass.
I was dosing Red Sea ABC+ powder and Red Sea foundation b daily for the first 5 weeks, and the result was incredible!

The underwater camera is cool stuff.. is it reliable ? And aren't you afraid that the lens will be covered by coraline algae one day ?

Hi he, so far the underwater camera is doing its job, only down side is these are not wide angle so it doesn't cover the whole tang no matter how I place it in the tank.
I'm sure I need to clean the lens at some points lol.

Been using cheap Chinese refractometer for a while, salinity always between 33-35ppt, which is what I'm aiming at.
Recently did some research about salinity and found out that the cheap refractometer was designed for other industries e.g. wine industry, so they don't give the correct measurement when using on salt water salinity.

Today I got my Red Sea refractometer, and the result is I'm 5ppt down from what I was aiming at, my salinity is actually on 30ppt only.
So I need to raise it up with a few water changes.

      Thanks for all the queries and it is overwhelming. I decided to close this thread for now to better structure how the decomm is going to take place progressively. Sorry that I may not be able to response to all and hope to seek your understanding that this will have to be carry out in stages to minimize disruption to the livestock.
