Mel's 4' x 2' x 2' Tank

[Melvyn Tan]

Tank remained at about 10ppm as with previous measurement.

[Melvyn Tan]

New toy, Calcium Reactor rated for 800 litres. Workmanship a piece of art.

hahhahah another HnS product..

from today onwards i help to count how long it take for coraline to cover your rocks haaha.

[Melvyn Tan]

Coralline already started to grow already...at times consume by scrapping fishes and others.

H&S product good what, all same pattern and design concept looks good and works well...

Bro if the main tank nitrate is 0 liaoz then how?

Disconnect the denitrator?

[Melvyn Tan]

Nitrate production will be inevitable, so leave your denitrator to maybe faster flowing, whenever there are nitrate available, it will "cleanse" it. The bacteria population will adjust itself according to the tanks' needs.

[Melvyn Tan]

Tank hovering with nitrate around 2.5ppm.

Added some corals, polyp extension 10 mins after putting in...

[Melvyn Tan]

Another one purplish colour

[Melvyn Tan]

This greenish sps with me for many months already, it has grown and one of its branch touched an adjoining rock and cemented (a base formed) there.

This coral only extend its polyp when lights are off (frightened by the Angels)

Bro,

You have a nice setup there. BTW, did you get a chance to measure your PO4?

[Melvyn Tan]

Bro,

No money no chance to measure PO4 leh...

[patrick123]

Bro,

Seems like the H&S Sulphur reactor really works for the nitrate, that's why I'm asking about the PO4. Since you are running a fluidised reactor, then PO4 should be quite minimum.

[Melvyn Tan]

I see what you mean...i don't really run the FR now, convert it for use as a secondary chamber for my S-based Denitrator.

PO4 taken care by PO4 Buster by Caribsea.

On anytime...but some places the sps die on me leh - so i will try to avoid those unless the stock is good.

The ones i gotten from PR are healthy...but more expensive.

Pink Acro with Purple Tips

Green Acro cemented to another rock from one of its branches...

Izzit? Are u refering to the ones we got from nite shipment? I dont have such problem, infact they fourished and encrusted into the my rocks too. Could it be yr previous ionic imbalance that causes it? Btw do check yr Mg level constantly. Even thou ARM provides Mg, it may not supplement enuff as yr sps stock increases.

[Melvyn Tan]

I particularly like the dirty green montipora, it is unique and it spreads to the white cross-section we chopped off hhehhehe...almost entirely grown over.

[Tigger]

Yes, I have to agree, its a nice specimen w good polpys extension, fast grower too.

[d88p]

[Melvyn Tan]
