Hehe... too bad the Orange Suns "close-shop" again... perhaps give it a bit more time <_<

Btw, here's a rare shot of my tank, top view of the left portion. Love the Frogspawn very much (the only coral that fluorence green a bit under my 14000ºK MH).

Bro Terryz, the Hammer and Rhodactis you sold me are looking healthy... I will take great care of all my LS :lol:

Guys I am going SPS in a few days time... a bro will sell me 4 small and colourful frags... do I need to do any preparations prior to that day?

My parameters are as follow:

Sg - 1.021

Temp - 26.5ºC to 28ºC

pH - 8.2

KH - 9.9

Alk - 3.54

Ammonia - 0

Nitrite - 0

Nitrate - 2

Phosphate - 0

Calcium - 430

Lighting duration - 3pm to 12.30am (9 1/2 hours)

In terms of location, I will place all 4 frags at the top tier of my tank to get strong current and closer to my MH. See pix :)

Welcome your advise on how I can prepare a perfect environment for my new frags :thanks: in advance!

your water parameters seem ok :rolleyes:

try to raise your sg to 1.025-1.026

and what is your mg level? for mg, try to keep within 1200-1350ppm

all the best for your try out :)

Oh such high sg? Is it normal? I can try... but need to raise real slow.

Mg? hehe... still waiting for my Mg test kit to be delivered (coming Mon/Tue). But I've been dosing a tiny amount of KM Essential Elements into my tank twice weekly. Do you think I should get a dedicated dosage of Magnesium? Is there such a product?

when you got your test kit, test it and then you will know if you need to add anymore mg supplement or not :) tropic marine Mg is good. it can easily raise you mg.

yes, raise you sg slowly to 1.025-1.026 :)

Wow jervismun, that is beautiful. Somehow it reminds me of a white christmas :D

Thanks sis... I hope you are not trying to tell me (politely) that my polyps are bleached, lol... actually the pix looks paler than the real coral.

Oops, that didnt come out well. Of cos i am NOT implying anything. Maybe its the lighting. I am sure the colour looks better in real.

the moon like seems quite bright leh.

Yeah it's quite a strong LED that comes with the Tunze Multicontroller... ok I will relocate it to somewhere else... perhaps shining on LR instead.

Here's how the light detector ###### LED looks like...

Ok guys... here's my pathetic looking Orange Sun Coral (aka Orange Sponge)... I positioned it quite high up, but slightly shadowed by the vertical LRs... water current there is medium to strong (as recommended by LiveAquaria)... been there for 5 days. Do I wait a while longer or start looking for a new location for it?

:thanks: in advance!
