Eudaceous 5 x 2 x 2.5 mixed reef

[Eudaceous]

To the new reefers. If you are interested to know why my water looks non-existent and fishes are floating, it has to be the power of Ozone. I'd like to share with you on this topic if you are keen. Do let me know. Below are my yumas, mushroom corner, Glue them using cyanobacteria based super glue. It works better than Epoxy FIx...

[Eudaceous]

My sole blue Yuma..got a light blue with beigh centre but it mati la..yresterday..$8 down the drain

[Eudaceous]

I have got two touch corals. This is my 5 polypped one..

[Eudaceous]

One of my open brain...Purple and green. It measures 4 inches fully bloom..Majestic looking

[Eudaceous]

My pink Zoo with pink skirts... $45 from Harleqiun... Really kill me...But dont you thik its worth it. BYW all lights are MH150 V with 20K bulb

[Eudaceous]

My green jewel. It opens up to a staggering 1 feet in diameter. Waving under the impact of a Turbelle Stream 6100..wow!

[Eudaceous]

My bald eagle zoo..Again another $45 investment..ouch!

[Eudaceous]

My pink blastos.. suffered earlier last week..fell down face up on sand bed..now recovering

[Eudaceous]

My lobo..colouration not impressive, but I beleiev I can turn it around...yeah!

[Eudaceous]

My entire set up..Controllers, ORP meter on my right hand set, Waiting for more $$$ to but a new Tunze 6100 stream..so I can make low and high tide...yipee

[Eudaceous]

RIght hand side. Centre you can see ,yellow gono, Really striking,,,you can also see the massive Tunze 6100.. No choice cannot hide it...so what to do ?Was hoping to mask it behind rocks...but it does a great job in ticking off detritus from sand bed even at this height. So here is a case where performance takes precedence over aesthetics,

[Eudaceous]

One of my proudest collection. The magnificent Red Sea Sohal Tang... Bought at $60....died yesterday...sob! sob! They are supposed to be hardy...but suffereed when my tank went through precipitation...(anyway long story..)

[Eudaceous]

My trusty and still alive Yellow Tang coming out from the cave.

[Eudaceous]

2 Neon Zebra Chinese Gobies in action..striking rainbow colouration extrememly dextrous!..yes still alive

[Eudaceous]

My green wrasse..Really active..like on sterroids. Its behavior created al lot of stress on my tiger anthias.. All six died due to it... Already they are so kuniang to begin with..with this bugger, they become even more kuniang...got what I mean?.. regretted buying this guy. Gave away already

[Eudaceous]

Sandollar I think? I like to see it chewing on sand and spewing it out as it glides around..

[Eudaceous]

Another kuniang fish.,,Kole Tang..but this guy is a workhorse when it comes to brown algae...Bristletooth is an excellent investment for any tank

[Eudaceous]

My fire clown, in his green anemone. I removed teh anemone as I would be away on a business trip. I was afraid that it would move on the glass and may got suck into my Turbelle streams..Yucks.!!

[Eudaceous]

My biggest resident and also my first fish. The great Indian Fox Face. It survived one bout of ich infestation. Looked like it almost wanted to die..but came back even stronger. Magnificent red edged caudal fins

[somebody]

so thats a sanddollar. never knew how it looked like =)

[Eudaceous]

Ok this is my tank form the left hand side... I designed my tank to be clutter free and maintenance easy..Most of the live rocks dont rest on the tank wall. In fact there's about 2-3 inches of space between life rock and tank wall. This would make it easier for me to extricate dead fish and prevent escallating nitrate.

I love the power of the Tunze stream and in such a reef configuration it can blow through the rocks easily and detritus can plunge into my overflow...located in the centre..(In my next posting I will discuss why overflow box with dursol pipes are potential Nitrate factories). This is sure to hit some raw nerve...Anyway again these are my 2 cents worth...

My tank is designed for easy mainteance. I do a lot of gravel pushing and clearing of detritus. I like to keep my 1 inch sand bed clean and pristine. I love to create caves, tunnels. It gives plenty of space for my bigger fish to sleep and in the day time good hiding places for the smaller guys. I like to see fish swimming at the surface.

BTW I stay in the central part of Singapore...near IKEA, Queensway. I wooud be happy to have your company if you are keen to know more about my tank and my pohilosophy on marine aquariums.

So in my next postings, I will discuss more on my maintenance philosophy. Again I welcome all feedback and comments

OK I have been suffering from brown algae. So I bought two Kole Tangs. They really eat up the alga but still I need to bring PO4 as it reaching 0.3 already..I fear fo my corals. My conclusion is that my two Resun 500 is not working. So broke the bank and get myself the ultimate. Aquamedic Phosban. Yipee!!

[Eudaceous]

OK these are my two amigos who have been sleeping on the job. Finally extricated them out. The second resun is filled with $63 of brand new Rowaphos and still PO4 is high. Problem is that water doesnot fully circulate lar...So the inverted system of AquaMedic I hope can do the trick

[Eudaceous]

Took out the default antiphos supplied and loaded close to 800 grams of Rowaphos + Aquamedic Antiphos Fe + little bit charcoal at the end. Wow quite heavy man the entire arm.. but looking good. I got my old 580 ml/h Rena pump to do the trick of feeding this new bugger.
