The stick on thermometer is not accurate I would say, as it is not position inside the tank. You can also get those small thermometers with a suction cup at the same price. I personally think a digital thermometer would be best of all.

Hi Mitlancer, I really admire your honesty in your previous mistakes and your never-say-die commitment to keep your LS thriving in an allegedly failed tank design. Hope the upgrades and mods work out for your tank inhabitants, looking great so far! :)

Thanks for your encouragement bro... yup. So far so good... must maintain..... but won't to adding any more LS since I already spent quite some $$ in the first week of receiving my pay.... moreover, dun wanno to overload my bioload.... tank is too small for too many LS.....

sob sob......

The resun skimmer can work? :ph34r: No proper skimmer, change water more often. :pinch:

Frankly, you dun really need a skimmer for yr set-up. Just change 10-20% water weekly will do, using distilled water.

Can't stock up much fishes for yr wall mount set-up.

I like your Elegance coral. :)

hmm, I do see some coloration water in the skimmer cup. I tried to do weekly water change, but have phobia due to some bad experience and also timing. Now, I do monthly change and I buy seawater from LFS plus doping of additives of cos.

U like my Elegance too? Yeah, it is looking great and I enjoy looking at it when it's stretched out.

hi, how's your cold box exp going? It can fit the top up box? Last how long b4 swop? I'm thinkg use cold pack use for treating injury. U think it will work?

Yeah, fit in the top up box nicely. Can't really last very long, but is a good option to bring down the temp if you water is running too high in temp. At least when the temp is lowered, the CPU fan can then not work so hard and maintain at a lower temp for a long time.

Cold pack have the same purpose, but just be careful there is no leakage as the cold pack usually is enclosed in a softer material than these brite ice cold box.

Latest updated pics....

The bloated Elegance is a concern at the moment..... the tips are also shrinking.... not as long when I first brought home... Worry its the ECS....Elegance Coral Syndrome which would subsequently leads to Bailout from the skeleton????

Any bros got experience and how's the survivability rate?

the skimmer seems to be producing alot of micro bubbles.. maybe you can tune it smaller?

Hi bro, thanks for the advise.

Previously the skimmer was too low in the water, the water kept overflow out from the cup. Now I lift the skimmer higher so that the collection cup is much higher than the water level and no more overflowing of water.

I am thinking of getting a small plastic valve to control the amount of air entering... this may also control the micro bubbles....right?

Imho,

If I am you, I would do a 30% water change weekly, hopefully, I could drop the NO3. 100 NO3 abit hard to keep anything,

Place 2 strong wave maker at both ends of the tank and do a re-scape with tonga to form a sort mini towers in the tank.

Threw a pic for the sheer fun of it.

:)

but that is juz me. :P

Thanks for your opinion... I did consider a second wave maker but concern too much wave to keep any corals then....

But your layout of the LR will definitely come in when I am tired of my existing scape... hehehe.

Unfortunately, I dun have the luxury of time to do weekly water change. I try to change at least once a fortnight or monthly to worse extend. So far algea is under control liao, NO3 not so high. Will do the water parameter check shortly....

Will be taking some pictures soon, hope CNY eve got time to take pics... hehe

Sorry to hear about the elegance, bro. Was gonna ask you if it was doing well when I clicked on this thread, was thinking that if it could do well in your small volume tank, then there's hope for me to get one for my nano tank.

How's your ice pack holding up? I got the idea from you to use a similar product from cold storage, but it lasts barely a few hours, which means I am always not around to change the pack when I'm at work, dunno what the temperature is like in the day.
