Based on my short 4 months plus experience before the tank broke, the light is definitely enough for SPS and Clams. Tried to keep SPS also but I put right t the top about 2 cm from water surface it's seems okay.....tried to put more SPS then the tank broke.

I always home late these couple days, I will take FTS if the main light still on (off at 19:30)........and it just 2 days after I put back my LS, with the loses, I felt that my tank is so empty now.

[Javier]

then how many hours did u on the light per day?

[jervismun]

Any update?

[thedidavid]

Any update?

Sorry for delay was very busy for past 3 days...here is the FTS, my clams still sick and one prata still sick due insuffient light for almost 2 weeks. Added 2 corals 1 SPS and one open brain that the shape look like cow's dung.

[thedidavid]

then how many hours did u on the light per day?

10 hours.

[angelfishlover]

May i noe whr is the SPS???

[thedidavid]

May i noe whr is the SPS???

Top left corner bro....

[ReDDeviLs]

nice.. u arent too far away from ur previous setup dude.. keep it up

[jervismun]

I notice when u take ur FTS... all your fish look as if they are corals growing out of rocks...

[thedidavid]

My open brain, I like the purple-ish texture with multiple mouths.

[thedidavid]

Some close up shoots of my coral using Sony's 100 mm Macro. The prata is bit bleached due to lack of light in holding tank last time, based on my last experience it will take 3-4 months to get the color back. The luminous candy cane that I had been frag couple time....

[angelfishlover]

If there is anymore candy cane frag mind selling???

[Javier]

hey bro david... do u have any problem with the micro bubbles on RSM? i am facing this problem now, do u have any solution to this?

[thedidavid]

hey bro david... do u have any problem with the micro bubbles on RSM? i am facing this problem now, do u have any solution to this?

Yes this is common problem with RSM, the way I reduce it is by turning the air inlet only 1/2 turn from completely off position and wait until the micro bubble gone then I open another 1/2 turn and so on. The micro bubble only gone if your tank is stocked with LS.....once it's fully stocked I never encounter micro bubble again only when I feed with the cyclopeeze the problem come up but it gone after 1/2 hour.

If there is anymore candy cane frag mind selling???

Sorry so far no more frag anymore.

[thedidavid]

Green millie frag that I got from another reefer....I really love this piece.
