gotta stop adding fishes already....if not the bioload will be high n there goes the sps...

[jervismun]

Lot's of SPS already... bro you only running 4 T5 tubes? I suggest you stop introducing new SPS... observe your existing colonies for a few weeks for any sign of browning

yea...wad im afraid of is the mouth that gets injured, if really have tt...the kole tang might be quite difficult to survive already...plus the stress given when the bristletooth go disturb him...

[Alvin Tan]

i realise that i posted the wrong FTS...tt is the previous one..

If I'm not wrong... Kole (like Chevron) belongs to the Bristletooth family

bro.. i also suggest u to stop adding more sps.. as ur lighting is soo high, and u still have so many sps.. quite worried for u.. are u running a CR? if u r not running, ur cal should be quite low within few daes..

and ya.. few suggestion for u.. put ur orange monti cap on the yellow circle i draw and put ur frogspawn at the red circle.. i think this will be better.. as the red circle got not much lighting, i don think put there will be good.. and why i ask u put ur monti at the yellow circle is that once ur monti grow, it will shelter those coral below it.. causing ur sps to have low light..

and oh ya.. ur thermometer wire very ugly leh. don put soo long lah.. the probe juz buy those rubber suction and stick it at the top can liao.. lol..

my 2cents advice..

Try feeding with frozen mysis or frozen brine shrimp... you can also attach some seaweed or local lettuce... don't have to worry if you have enough algae to supply it constant grazing My specimen has been with me for more than 1 month... still not accepting other food... can't figure why too... I think my Kole Tang is worse than my PBT... at least my PBT will take seaweed
