yo buddy.. ur ammonia is on alert.

yeah..thats why u dun see any fishes or corals in there...cycling mah..only a few days into the cycle...will wait for a few weeks at least and test the water before putting anything....

i have some corals from my 2 ft tank for close to 2 years...not going to jeapardise their health by dumping them into the 4ft so soon

yeah...mainly cured..but there was a batch of rock that had many worms in them, i took them out to nuke them long before my tank came..and i put them in a toyogo big tub...very smelly..haha...i am sure they are helping my tank to cycle now....

some got from woonming, some from fren, some from CF...

here are the latest pics

the water rush falling down the drainpipes seem to form some foam...intially i was quite irritated by it...i made my own partition with wool to trap the bubbles...but thinking back, isn't this a form of protein skimming also? the bubbles getting thicker and thicker..lol

i bought 2 blue plus tubes from edmund....

now only using 1 for the main tank....will use a daylight tube for the sump in time to come when there are macroalgae in there...

stuff i bought from sinter at sim lim tower.

[euphoria]

i like the way the MH is hung...can shift whenever we desire.

Great effort!
