Yeah quite messy at the top... but it's ok I guess, how often do you bow down to see the tank? Most of the time, you will look at it from higher angle, hence the pix u posted earlier where all the pumps are not visible. As for the external pump... how bad is the vibration? Is it noticable/annoying?

i can sleep with it . aquabee pump is fanstastic in term of quietness . next choice is ocean runner and eheim .

putting a piece of cloth under the pump greatly reduce the noise too. quiet humming sound . :)

I always hear good reviews about Aquabee (for that size range)... so surely no regret... the only regret is I should've go straight to Aquabee instead of getting some alternatives that cost half the price... now I have to flood the Pasar Malam with pumpheads lor :lol:

But not so soon... after the Election Day holiday coz I will be out of town for a day or two. Perhaps after that :lol:

Have u visited G.Octo yet? According to bro Qxn, a lot of "solid" corals there... lucky u didn't rush down to Irwana that night... nothing much left already coz u a bit late... <_<

This week and next week has been declared as no LS weeks for me... I have a lot to tackle right now especially with the impulsive purchase of my first SPS... now I'm doomed... I probably sell the Sicce 2500/1300/800.

Hrmz, don't make it sound as if its the end of the world la. Haha, everyone makes mistakes....we just need to learn from them. Why not start with all the LPS first...they are way much easier. :)

That's what I'm gonna do... come to think of it... if I wanna do SPS, probably need to relook at the entire system setup already... perhaps next tank lah... but for Perc90, just keep it a LPS tank B)

Bro Qxn, it's not the end of the world, but it's really bad and sad to go out there and grab a piece of nature... just to let it rot in the tank... I don't know how rare this kinda shipment from Tonga is.

Whoa, so nice tank. Your star polyp very healthy.

From photos, i realised you have only 1 for each type of fish, is it?

Small quantity but lots of variety, COOL!

Hahaha... he will be so hurt... he added 5 BE Anthias last 2 days... :lol:

Oops, my mistake! Sorry Bro Hammy. :peace:

The rest probably camera shy. It also so difficult to catch them all within a single shot but you manage. Guess thats what i am trying to say, u have lots of variety of fish and corals. Makes your tank very bright.

nice and healthy corals u have there..

attribute to weekly water change and underdose of additive .

only recently i learn that dosing of additive like puple up , phosbuster and az-no3 will lower alkalinity a lot .

come on , everybody is here to learn . not dumb lah .

reef alkalinity should be maintain at 3-5meg/l or 8-14 dKH. alkalinity that fall below 2meq/l wll drastically affect coral health .
