Renovation is underway! And the tank is delivered! By the way, I opt for a galvanized iron frame to allow full access (without pillar) to my sump. Probably doable if you opt for aluminum frame too.

Share settings so one day I can copy? :P

Actually nothing fantastic! Just 90% for my Royal and Blues, the rest I kept mostly between 30-60% during daylight.

Time to move down to the sump.

Bought a lot of stuff for my new house, furniture, lights, accessories etc from taobao and definitely, need to get some stuff for my tank too.

Didn’t wanna save on equipment from China, in case anything goes wrong, but bio media i guess can’t go that wrong. Hence I bought almost 20kg of media. As it came by flight, e freight is almost the cost of the media but still I save half the cost hehe..

Went with two types of bio media, both with good reviews that they don’t melt like some other brands. Hopefully it’s true and works well to keep nutrients under control. We will see..

Here’s some photos of the media!

Awesome setup!
What QT procedures do you go through for your fish and coral? 

Qt for 2 weeks at least. Introduce tank water to qt. Treat with cupramine prazi if necessary?

Loved my old China LEDs as they gave a very nice blue tinge to pop the colours on my corals. But the problem is the cree bulbs gets burnt easily.. Realised that the 440nm bulbs on Orphek lights gives the same effect and decided to switched out my old China LED strips a pair of customised OR3 with full 440nm bulbs!

here’s the results 76046013-6C8C-4D43-930E-B42651486E98.jpeg.65746806d9d7ca2e11611d59f12b98e9.jpeg238D7A8C-E8C7-48F2-936D-813A975A5E9D.jpeg.f9dbd190170b3eb838558365c6a8afee.jpegDF58AFA9-BE3A-4922-BE46-01157A507A6D.jpeg.775e72ac533a7cb113e9a02d814727dd.jpegCE597CBD-0799-4F04-ADBC-7484E05553AF.jpeg.126ed7abac199ec3af468e1f57c14cc1.jpegD16B29E6-8DE8-4DE9-AA86-826CD9E599F7.jpeg.8b83b0f30ace34ce7e982acec01d8b06.jpeg4A0555F9-0C4F-4DB8-91F3-2913A43764BE.jpeg.012ef65aa8ae6231f982167413932c86.jpeg
