ya ya, lim peh studied Queen's English ok,

i got 1/4 bottle of tigger pods that i just do period water change and feed it some phytoplanton and dump it in the fridge ( still in their original bottle ) and guess what since that time i bought it til now still alive , maybe i should transfer it to a 1.5l coke bottle see if it will cultivate not

Impressive loh.. btw thanks for your tigger pods. i am using dead rock and dry crushed coral but after the tigger pods into the tank its booming. btw what your po4.

u take how long to nurse rics back to health

Any more updates on your tank...

[zorden]

further update

new aquascape to test the flow of the wavemaker

6105 and two 6100

I have a flow problem. too much flow.

Flow with 3 tunze and ehiem 1262

A turbulence caused by 3 tunzes, 1262 and Ocean Runner 6500. The water is just 1/2 inch away the rim

And yes, i have to look into cable management. Can get a separate shelve to house the wire

hoping to change this

into this

And yes, my toy.. unsetup toy..

And my first member of the tank, potter angel whom is not eating.

wah... damn big business...

looking forward to see your tank progress!

Not big business lah. infact i am too lazy to do much..

too lazy to test the nitrate... here the salinity reading 1.020

the suitable salinity should be 1.025 but i failed to plan well thus used up my salt in the WC and thus to wait till my h20 evaporate and get myself new bucket of salt for the next wc.

ya can see u quite lazy. Even Salinity meter also digital one....

Your substrate seems quite coarse hor? be careful if u keep bottom dwellers as rough substrate may injured them if they "zoom" in too fast.

yes its crushed coral. how i hope i got bigger grains as my tunze still open up holes on the substrate bed.

i cant use those fine sand as the tunzes and waver maker will create a sand storm.

hmm, actually if i am not wrong, it's better to face the wavemakers upwards rather than downwards.. best if you can create the bubbling ripple effect as it helps with the gas exchange to aerate the water.

[jackywongto]

thought you wanted BB or I recalled wrongly.

if not, maybe go BB.

ya keeping SPS right?

Bare buttom is very Nice and maintenance friendly for SPS. However i think i am not into this too clean concept as it look abit too fake for me. i rather do my bi weekly maintenance of cleaning the crushed coral bed with ehiem substrate cleaner..

i don think we should worry abt gas exchange as our skimmer will provide sufficient aeration to the water but yes the ripple effect is good but 2 of my tunze is non directional de. 6100 (old generation) and my tank is rimless thus don want water spilling out from my tank.
