Yup bro, for the tank your size, I tink u can try out zeovit... would be good...

Zeovit system

Bro, come on, I'm sure it's not only that......... Must also include your constant monitoring and dedication as well as good husbandry and TLC, right? SPS keeping is a never ending job..

BTW did you shock the milles before you take the photos? Somehow the polyps are not appearing which is unusual for milles.

Bro, got lar look carefully and that being said I just went to check out that colony and the polyps are "more more" (fury fury) as usual.

Oh ya are you referring to the brown one or the pink one? If the brown one then the polyps always been like that or I ID it wrongly?

When I mentioned "zeovit system" (ya I know this word a bit sensitive) means I employ the full system and follow their recommend husbandry like 5-10% water change, frequent cleaning of the skimmer collection cup to ensure skimmer working at max efficiency. Making sure all water parameters are good and stable etc.

So running zeovit system is not a matter of dosing a few drops of "SKII" and then expecting some magic to happen in your tank.

Very well said there bro. I also agree it is not something magic. Basic husbandry like water change, maintain good water parameters, good lighting and flow and efficient skimming (like what you have mentioned) is key to a healthy reef.

Where got brown coral? I mean the one on the left lar, the blue tip one. And confirm.....it is a millepora.

Maybe like you said due to stress, since day one it arrived in my tank the polyps been like, but I also quite lucky, the colony get stressed for ard 1 yr and still not RTN/STN yet lol. At least now it's showing some improvement, will monitor and see how it goes Wish me luck hor.

No more update?

Here's my millepora from Iwarna, finally starting to color up after going BB and getting direct MH.

...SOLID colouration.....

A little here but guess reply here better.

Just found the culprit.

I checked the colony carefully and found some holes at the base, if you also look at the photo properly you'll see some holes (green in color) and also part of the base appears to be bleached, they are not bleached but rather "tunnels" below it.

I dig and follow the tunnel and it eventually lead to this.

Didn't know how it got into the colony or maybe it came with it?

[Reefaholic]

Brittle worm?? How on hell did it get there?

BTW that purple with blue tip milli is the one that we all eyeing for at PR today. It the same if i am not wrong. So bro, you have that unique specie already. FRAG.... i want.

[RAV-65]

Eeks! next time shift SPS better wear gloves or be prepared to get stung!

[scarab]

Gosh, that looks evil........ better check whether got offsprings.

[weileong]

Still quite small, abt 2-3cm long, too young to spawn I guess. Now I am seeing polyps extension already.

Never knew SPS can have bristleworm living in it pengz.

[blueheaven]

Still trying to take my top down shots

Can't seem to really focus though

[weileong]

Switch off all wavemaker and return pump, should help.
