Really nice tank bro, especially the coral beauty

Thanks...

Recently added a lawnmower blenny but it vanished on the second day. Missing for 4 days already.

Thought it might have jumped and search everywhere around but found nothing.

Check the sand, may have hide inside the sand bed

It is a bare bottom.
Tankmates: yellow wrasse, coral beauty, blue leg hermit carb, peppermint shrimp & snails.
Maybe it was devoured.

Strangely, the corals looks horrible but continue to growth slowly.

 DSC04394.jpg

Green Stag: color changed but still growing with PE

DSC04396.jpg

Blue Stag: became light blue but still growing slowly

DSC04399.jpg

Looks like a millie but was told it is an acropora: base is encrusting the rock

DSC04402.jpg

True optic fibre poci: Best color and growth by far

DSC04408.jpg

Blue digitata: top and base are growing new branches but the middle STN

DSC04409.jpg

Yellow poci: Growing well

SPS can still grow when they look horrible. Any idea what is the problem?

Add a Yellow wrasse. I believe it is the natural predator of AEFW. Unfortunately, it probably also wipe out all the pods.

Ok, good for u now that no more aefw. Hopefully ur corals can color up better with Aefw out of the way.

Woke up to discover the chiller display 25.0 degree Celsius when I had set to 27.0 degree Celsius. Upon investigation discover the chiller pump is not working (despite the controller indicates it is on).
Fortunately, I had a spare pump.
After hooking up the spare, the chiller indicate 29.5 degree Celsius.
Corals and live stock seems okay. Though I cannot find my peppermint shrimp.
Hopefully no casualties.

Interesting why it read as 25deg.. Is your thermostat internal?

I believe the water in the chiller drop to the temperature that cause the chiller to start chilling. As there are no flow, the water quickly chilled and the temperature dropped so fast that the chiller could not detect to stop immediately.

Long story short, after removing the 2 tube T5 light due to breakdown, I depended solely on AI prime HD. Unfortunately, it wasn’t strong enough so there we many losses. Now the survivors like zoanthids are craning for light.

Thank you for the response. Now I know what not to do if I faced similar issue with my T5 and Led hybrid setup. Once again, sorry for your losses.
