cowbox's tank

[cowbox]

Happy CNY to all! Just wanted to update about my tank condition.

I removed almost half of my live rocks to create more swimming space for my fishes. 2 months ago, my macro suddenly gave up on me, and i had no money to get a new one, hence i went skimless for a month. Unfortunately, one of my clams and elegance coral died on me. Now i'm using a prizm skimmer, and it works fine for me, almost as good as macro, but with lesser space restrictions .

Somehow my tangs seemed to have a thing for my zoos. They love to nip at it and soon my zoos never open and they turned mouldy

Yes there are 2 tangs in my tank now, both are feeding well. Other fishes include clown fishes, warsse, cardinal fishs, and yellow tail damsel.

Coral stock: 2 clams, 1 coco worm, frog spawns, yumas, mushies, Small SPS, lobo, brains.

i believe in keeping a good amount of cleaning crew to help with the breaking down of uneaten food and algae: 2 abalone, 1 blue hermit, assorted snails, sand dollars, shifting star.

^^My fav fish, forever hungry and greedy.

The close-ups are taken using my cousin's professional cam(think canon) Really bought out the colours. Hope you guys like them!

hey can i ask what lighting are u using ?

[cowbox]

Hi guys,

i'm not using a sump, just a Jebo canister. There's nothing inside except for some filter wool that i change bi weekly and Seachem Sea gel as well as Chemi pur2 that i change monthly.I do a weekly 15% water change to keep things in check.

My lighting is a Atman MH and Pl set that i bought from aquamarin. It has 1x150Mh and 2 blue Pl 24w lighting. A chiller is a must if you use this lighting.

Happy reefing!
