Starting a new thread to document the progress of a new set up. Tank was given by a nice reefer (thanks!!). In return, I bought over his equipment. Its a nice sized tank - 5 x 2.5 x 2, 15mm glass, chengal wood stand. The physical condition of the tank wasn't great and took it as part of the fun to fix it during free time on the weekends. Some pictures : Upon closer inspection, there are several large patches of scratches in the middle (viewing area) Ordered some Cerium Oxide - a compound commonly used in the industry to polish glass Mix into a paste Marked the areas with bad scratches with masking tape Climbed into the tank & polished out the scratches. I'd say 90% of the bad scratches are gone. I didn't bother to remove the scratches from areas which were not easily seen.

Just curious are there any reefers staying in the West ? bukit batok jurong clementi if have shout out pls seems like most of the reefres here stays in the East. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Do 50% water change then feed daily once will do and add bacteria daily for a week and see new readings Sent from my LG-D315 using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, I'd like to present my 1L pico reef inspired by reef vases. Currently it is only holding softies like Xenia and different kinds of Zoanthids and Palythoas and a lot of brown little slugs, copepods, and bristleworms, theres even a oyster of some sort although its not very visible (on the right side of the tank blending in with the rockwork). Equipment used includes a glass jar i bought from Daiso, an Airpump with airline tubing, a plastic container lid i place on the top to prevent evaporation, and lastly a Beamswork LED, i can't remember which model but it cost about $40 plus. So total tank setup (not including corals) would be around $50 to $60. When I first started off, I overdosed microbacter7 to saturate the substrate with bacteria, and after about 2 week to a month I started adding new corals. Maintenance is done once a week, I do a 100% water change with coral pro red sea salt and pluck out as much algae as I can. I also dose 1 drop of Microbacter7 after each water change. I use a airline tubing to suck out all the water from the tank (up til the substrate level), and after wiping the inside of the tank with a piece of tissue, I slowly pour in the new water over my hand into the tank to prevent damage to the corals. I do not test the water parameters as I do 100% changes, aside from testing the salinity from time to time. The tank has been running since the beginning of March, and has not been without its share of problems in the beginning, but things have really started to stabilize and there is even sprouting of new zoanthid polyps. One of the issues I ran into is that introducing a number of corals at a time can trigger a bacterial bloom within half a day, but that was quickly remedied after doing a few 100% water changes. So taking that into consideration I decided that whenever I introduce livestock I should be around for that day to do a emergency water change. Aside from the issue of introducing too many livestock at once, the tank has been really stable, I really like this tank because it is my least troublesome tank that I have had so far. Being tiny allows me to appreciate the little things that go unnoticed like how the copepods scurry about their daily lives and the little details on corals. The rounded edges on the sides also act like a magnifying glass. Thanks for reading if you made it this far, feel free to ask me any questions!
