wilsontantw Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 It's been almost 1 month since the last update... busy with work and sideline project. Soul bro: thanks for dropping by . Nice to meet you again! free drop by ah... in the mean time, some pictures update for the past month... Tank is still filled with frag racks, thus can't take FTS... First up, the blue carpet... colour kinda darken a little... Of the 4 pieces of mini carpets, this is the only piece that moved... up from the base... clearly a sign that blue mini carpets need stronger lights.

But still long way to go, must slowly collect the frags. At this moment, i'm just thinking main tank all SPS... maybe 90%.... the rest will move into the holding tank (recently completed project).

wilsontantw Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 This morning, I had a sudden thought that reefing took up a lot time, money and effort. Thus was just wondering if I should decomm... Partly becoz I am expecting another new addition to my family in late Jan next year. Plus hiring a new domestic helper. Really gotta juggle resources. Plus work is getting more stressful, economy not really doing well... Q4 outlook doesn't seemed to be any better... Furthermore, just last week, My home had a power trip while I was at work... Fortunately, my mum was staying over then and managed to help me restart everything. And just as I was thinking of decomming this morning, I came home earlier to a "black tank"! Yes, blackout...AGAIN!!! My initial thoughts were: oh no, is this is a sign of things to come?? Anyway, immediately powered up the place and getting ready to count my losses... A quick check on the mechanical timers show that the failure started 12hrs ago!!! Which means both main and frag tank had no circulation at all for half a day... Long story short... To my surprise (really thank God)... only 1 casualty. My pui pui flame angel is dead. Damn sad.. All sps ok, lps ok, softies ok. Close shave! Thank goodness FA was lying at an accessible place, so managed to get the carcass out without much effort. Open scape is critical in situation like this. However the water smells bad! So immediately did water change... Didn't had time to prepare carbon, but guess I'll do that tmrw.. Now, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. Again, thanks Murphy, for paying me a visit! And until I get my UPS backup, hopefully, I don't see him soon... Or should I just decomm? The story continues... Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute.

cedricang Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 OMG...black out again !? Bro, you need to get your UPS sorted out asap. Sorry to hear your mix feeling on reefing, let me assure you that many reefing bros do get the similar kind of thoughts before, especially when major event such as tank crash, power trip and so on rubs on it. Perhaps you should just take a step back and scale down the expectation and coral hunting. Concentrate on nurturing your existing gems and make the best of what you own now. Reefing is enjoyable and relaxing as a hobby, a sanctury for us to keep our minds off from our daily routine stress. Take a breather, you will be alright Quote Treat others the way you wanna be treated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member BFG Posted October 29, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted October 29, 2010 My advice is for you to sort out the electrical problems first. Find out what is causing the power trip and replace that equipment. If the tank is using too much current that the wall outlet is at max, get some equipment plugged to another outlet. Extension cable are affordable compared to the time and money spent in acquiring your live stock. Replace all multi socket plugs that has salt water sprayed on them, these are easily replaced. The lesser problems you have, the lower your stress level at home. Work always have stress and that's unavoidable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
