Red mushy......

[chrislzh]

don't know what is this.. someone tells me its green coins....

[w3ish3ng]

look like its either zoo or buttom

[chrislzh]

Overall view..... still very empty.. may need to get more and more corals...

[chrislzh]

yeah.. its button.....

[w3ish3ng]

bro slowly stock up ba. good for tank good for wallet and can slowly choose those nicer corals to put in tank. then anyhow rush and buy later reach home and find out not really to your liking.

[jervismun]

Bro did you use epoxy or glue to stick your LR together? If not, you may wanna consider as any dislodging LR can create disaster by breaking the tank glass

[chrislzh]

didnt use eproxy but i placed my LR in a way, all are inter-locking...

I second to bro w3ish3ng opinion.

Bro chrislzh, it's exciting to get new corals and we all understand the kind of satisfaction while stocking up! But since your tank is still rather new, u gonna stock up slowly to ensure the safety of your LS/ coral and oso yr wallet! A sudden increase in the LS/ coral may cause some of your parameter to swing without u even noticing!

Btw, u may wanna add another seio to blow at your LR as it seems like there's a great potential of detrius being trap behind your LR!

Sorry for being so nagging like a grandfather!!!

Anyway, nice scaping and sun coral u have! Upz.....

[chrislzh]

ok... intend to get another seio.. thanks bros for all your advise recently.... started out as a newbie... learnt a lot from all of u... will stock up slowly...

[chrislzh]

[chrislzh]

purple and red mushy corner.... going to add some green mushy in the later stage

[chrislzh]

my sun corals corner... with a mega orange sunny, 1 pink sunny, and a bi-yellow and green one. And best of all... its opening... haha

[chrislzh]

and lastly the overall view...

[chrislzh]

understand i may stock up fast... haha.. just did a check parameter... everthing is great..

[lyz77]

understand i may stock up fast... haha.. just did a check parameter... everthing is great..

U may wanna add another seio soon in order to improve on your tank circulation which oso help to minimize the traping of detrius!!!

[jacobus]

you can get xenias at pasir ris farmway 2

I think bro Lyz77 suggestion is very valid... do look at the overall current flow as it is very crucial... so crucial it can determine success/failure in a system. You have a lot of dead space trapped on your entire back wall (due to small pieces of LR leaning against the wall). This complicates the flow and it will not be an easy task to achieve optimum flow throughout the tank.

Besides avoid trapping detritus (and dead fishes), good water circulation is needed to enable your LR to work its best! Dead zones are bad as the bacteria residing within the LR will not be able to get sufficient water turnover and air. The dissolve oxygen within dead zones are significantly lower than the rest of the tank too...

A well circulated tank will bring more detritus to the sump, skimmer will be able to skim out more... your entire filtration system will work much more efficiently.

If you feel discontent about it, do focus on this issue and find ways to improve the situation. No point keep adding corals. Everytime you change your current flow (by moving or add a Tunze/Seio) you will have to move some corals anyway... so why not do it at the initial stage

[chrislzh]

ok.. bro.. got the point... will be adding another sieo soon.. so do you suggest i put it inthe other side of the glass of the tank...? is its like a circle flow....?

[chrislzh]

bros, the rocks behind all the way back.. i cant possible to take everything out and put a seio all the way... so i think of puting a seio at the other side blowing at the lr..?
