Super overdue update of this little journal of mine... Some basic updates: 1. Installed TIR lens for the lighting 2. Change dosing regime to balance up key parameters. After so many weeks, i finally managed to bring CA to 430, Mg to 1320 & KH down to 8.9. Didnt dare to be so drastic so slight adjustments daily. 3. NO3 & PO4 undetectable for the last 2 weeks. Hmm algae issue still present but can see them dying of and balancing off liao. 4. Lost a whole lot of sps which i transfered over from my other tank. Stupid parameters 5. Again added a few more inside which i am closely monitoring (touchwood). Daily regime: AM - Dose Ultrabak, UltraMinS & Ultra Organic AM - Feed Articpods & Rotifer PM - Tank glass cleaning PM - Feed Oyster Shake Weekly: Off skimmer and dose Henry's bacteria powder, change filter sock Bi Weekly: Water Change, Dose BioDigest & Its Clear! Have been sticking to this habit for the past 2/3 weeks and have been quite happy with whats happening in the tank. I did get an STN outbreak on many of my spses and am still closely monitoring it. Suspect due to really low mag&cal and extremely high KH. Weirdly some of the sps are starting to encrust at the base and i look forward to some growth soon. Realised about 1 week back that my radion was not setup correctly and only running at 20% stupidly changed it back up to 100% and many corals started showing signs of bleaching. Upgraded to TIR lenses and running at 60% now. Aim to raise by 5% weekly till 100%. Well some pictures taken 1+ week ago to share. As you can see i have bad bout of algae issues, now it is slowly settling down. Tank View: front & side view Another view: Sump (messy messy): Some pic of livestocks (apologies for horrible photos): Hopefully will get sometime this weekend to update on livestocks.

Tomorrow 4.30pm at Iwarna. Ricordea Florida 400 pcs. Very special & limited numbers of Amphiprion percula "Maine Blizzard" & Amphiprion ocellaris "Wyoming White"!

Hi Bro Been following your discussion on the zebra catalina goby from Mexico. Recently, Irwana brought in both catalina & zebra catalina gobies. My understanding from reading US marine fish forums is that these are temperate fishes that can thrive only in water temperature that are no higher than in the low twenties celsius. Anything higher will shorten their lifespan. For me, this requirement is the main deterrent to acquiring these otherwise vibrantly coloured & attractive fishes. Would like your opinion as you are currently keeping them.

depends on what u are keeping. 1 set is enough to cover 2ft by 2ft. for 3ft tank, 2 sets will be too much and 1 set is too little. tough call....

Hahaha..this afternoon went there to meet bro CFOh and happen to saw last one so just picked up lor..
