Blueheaven's 4ft Tank

[weileong]

Just add on to what Simon says, Phoenix 14kk will bring out more fluorescence effects on the corals so the SPS always seems nicer.

However due to the power PAR and poor spectrum very soon the SPS will turn darker.

You should try something like a milepora or yellow corals

[Mellow]

Mellow, how long have you been using the phoenix? We need longer time effects.

I personally know of more than 5 reefers that had been using the phoenix but eventually switched to other bulbs with higher PAR.

Your SPS are 5" from the water surface so the PAR is still sufficient for the SPS.

yup, I guess it could be because my sps are really high up on my rock work, That's why decided to tell BH about my sps placement first just in case. So far I've been using phoenix for about 3 months.

[weileong]

3 months seems a little too short to tell the effects, we need like 6-8months or better still 1 year.

Psychedelic mille from Keith

Upon closer inspection, it has green corallites at the bottom and blue corallites at the top

That's a nice frag!

[blueheaven]

Yup, will compare the colours in a few months time

Hopefully by then I will stock up more (big big shipment coming)

BTW if you find that you have too many streams, can just contact me cause I am looking for cheaper 2nd hand ones

And I got the new chiller today. Black, bulky but sleek. I'm glad I scrapped that previous one

[blueheaven]

Here's my new chiller

I'm going to write a review on it soon when I have the time

[chucky]

modified chiiler???

[blueheaven]

It's a locally made Pacific Coo copper coil half horse

[blueheaven]

Nothing to do today so I took some pics of my stuff

I'm a RM fan if you can see

[blueheaven]

My RM Beckett

Still considering whether I should upgrade

[blueheaven]

My huge CR

Wonder when the media will finish

[blueheaven]

And lastly, my refugium with the chaeto

[weileong]

go put a sticker - RM supported reef

[tineng]

oic, sorry for the misinterpretation

I was looking between changing to Phoenix and adding 2 more blue T5s

But I got bought over after checking out some reefers' tanks under the Phoenix.

I've also seen a reefer's tank under over runned Phoenix and although the SPS look a little dark but the colours are still awesome.

Now I am trying an experiment as frags from the same colony of purple digitata looked different in another reefer's tank than mine. Mine looks brown but his is really nice purple.

ha.....but that a reefer with 14k P pass me a digitata that i remember looks a bit more orange but become very red under my 10kk BLV......

or is was it red in his tank also (please refresh my memeory as you were there)....getting old, sometime remeber things a bit vaguely.....

[ciaolong]

woooo RM for life

hey blue did u get my pm ? msn me if u need details

[blueheaven]

Tineng: Yeah it was quite red too in his tank. Not the normal orange digitata

Ciaolong: Yes I had received your PM. I'll be good if you tell me more about your preference

[ciaolong]

yep sent u some details about it

looks like i coming down in nov due to my oct plan canceled T_T

but no pro think still got time to go lfs with ya u finish exams nov right ?

(wish u luck in exams too)

[blueheaven]

Ok, I'll work on that

Hope to see you soon

Anyway, I almost crashed my CR today when I tuned it up before going to school.

Then when I came back, my CR was bubbling like a skimmer

Luckily I came back in time to turn it off or else

All thanks to the recirculation feature or I think it will explode

Funny thing is that my SPS look more colourful despite the accident. Water looks clearer too

Now considering a pH monitor connected to a solenoid and changing my cheapo regulator to a dual guage with needle valve

Man, I am so broke

[Travy]

woah... bro.

Where u get so much $$$? Part time job ah?

[Dispar_Anthias]

You mean you increase the CO2 input? better check your calcium lvl or else ionic imbalance

[blueheaven]

The thing is that my crappy regulator will cause the bubbles to decrease gradually over time so this morning it was not injecting anymore bubbles

That's why I decided to tune it up before leaving for school

My calcium is now at 500+, kH at 10

Will try to do a water change tomorrow once I find an O-ring for my DI

[blueheaven]

Talked to Joe regarding this and he recommended the pH controller.

Will save up now since I am already saving up for a big shipment
