Rimless cant do 12mm for 422? I was thinking of just bottom brace
Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile appNot sure about other tank maker, but N30 and atlantic glass industry both told me 422 rimless minimum 15mm. Unless you do 120x60x45 (h) cm, den 12mm may be possible.
-
10mm is a big nono, 422 braced would be 12mm, rimless you'll likely need 15mm.

May I know the price of it?
Its about $50 including shipping, if you search UAS or ATS on taobao, you should see a thumbnail of this UAS on the first page. There's also 3 model and the one i bought is the mid-sized one.

Looking good and glad to see your tank stablised very well in the end. What method are you using to chillt he tank? don't see any fan nor chiller used. This may not be something u want to hear, but a pair of clown should be the only fishes in the tank.

I think still too early to tell. I've just swapped from 24 hours lighting period to 12 hours on reserve light cycle. Here's a pic of how it looks like now.Hi what your review on your ATS?

Show us some FTS pls
Btw, how’s the UAS after 3 weeks? Does it doing the job?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThanks for the reminder, guess i missed out posting the FTS!
There's some growth in the UAS but not much, probably because there's not much nutrients in the first place. Will take a pic later!

Pretty sure that was velvet, all the fishes in your tank are now susceptible to it and yes, they kill extremely fast. In most cases, when you can see the velvety dust on the body, its usually too late to cure the fish.
Copper is an effective cure for velvet but you'll need to catch all your fishes out and treat them separately if you have corals in you tank. Leave your display tank fallow for 6 weeks which is the typical life cycle period for velvet. Leaving it empty for 3 months would definitely be ideal if you can wait!

Hi reefers, looking for a nice red RBTA! prefer to deal north or east side. please pm me if you have 1 for sale!

Day 53
Showcasing old and trusty Deltec SC1350 skimmer, previously i bought the BM Z7 but wasn't really skimming much.. not sure if it was due to being too over sized or the design is not ideal. Swapped to this deltec and although its a llittle noisy, check out the skimmate while i have 0 fishes! I believe this is the reason why i'm getting 1ppm nitrate now combined with NoPox dosing.
Sharing this acrylic container i got from Daiso, fits my phone and i can snap pic and enjoy top down view without turning off my pumps.
Some shots taken with the phone laying flat on the container.
Classic miyagi tort
Very interesting tiny frag.. greenish base with deep purple polyps..
rainbow acro, really hope the color can hold!
Thanks for viewing!

I never know that need to run chiller with tap water first. Probably there are copper released from the new chiller. I dumped Seachem Prime this morning alr when I did w/c
Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile appSeachem prime or any other reducing agent will reduce the safe copper form into the toxic form. i suggest you run activated carbon ASAP.
-
It wouldn't be a shock if the chiller chilled the tank down as per normal (which is over a couple of hours), more likely like what daveyy mentioned, residue from the chiller internal pipes were flushed into your tank. try running some activated carbon in a bag in a high flow area of your sump.
-
Wrong place to post so it may be shifted.. u mentioned that you installed a chiller? Could it have malfunctioned and chilled your tank down too much?

Day 49
Tank is coming to 2 months old and parameters are getting more stable day by day. What confused me was nitrate was still 50ppm a week before but suddenly dropped to 2.5ppm today. I was vinegar dosing but switched to 1ML of Red Sea NOPOX just 2 days ago. Corals still looking good but i am feeding Reef Energy AB+ daily (5ml) and occasionally Reef Roids to maintain some nutrients in the water since i do not have fishes yet.
Water parameters:
pH: 8.2
No3: 2.5ppm
Po4: 0.025-0.05ppm
kH: 8.3dkH
Calcium: 480ppm
Mg: 1200ppm
Potassium: 390ppm
Some new addition of SPS over the past few days.
Red Planet, Tri-color Staghorn and Miyagi Tort
Feels like im stocking up too fast!
Top to bottom, left to right:
Red Millipora
Unknown ID aussie acro
Pink salmon Digitata
Bi-color Staghorn
Pink birdnest
Bali green slimer
Blue dragon
Setosa
Bi-color staghorn
Top down view, photo taken with Blues/Royal Blues/UV at 60%, white at 25%, red/green at 12%. I'm slowly ramping up my LED at 5% a week in order not to shock the SPS or grow too much algae.
Showing some love to LPS and zoas as well!
I will stop stocking up on SPS for now (i hope!) to see if they are able to retain their color! And its 3 more weeks before my 6 week fallow period ends.
Thanks for viewing!

Welcome back! Awesome colonies you have there, care to share more on the system you are using and lighting choice?
-
Yes if its not Velvet can slowly increase the copper dosage, many things in the tank can absorb copper.. copper itself in high dosage is also lethal to the fishes so got to be careful!
-
I dip every single corals that goes into my tank, also inspect it for eggs/bite marks. Does not matter who and where it came from, always better to play safe!

Hey thanks for the recommendation, may I know where you got it and how much?
I got it 2nd hand from a reefer, There's a couple online store like ReefMarketSG that carries them, or you can purchase them directly from Qianhu who is the distributor for red sea. I believe a brand new RSR 170 is about 1.2k.

Hello reefers! I'm looking to make a comeback after 14 years.
Any recommendations on where to get tanks? I'm looking towards a 60cm cube size.
Check out the Red sea reefer 170! i just got one recently and i absolutely love the quality and design..

2 species of Anthias i had great success is Dispar and blue eyes.. purple queen is best left in the ocean their survival rate long term is as good as 0. They also need to be fed very often with very nutritional food..
-
Singapore's tap water are relatively clean.. i used to use tapwater for LPS/softies only tank and had no algae issue.. you can always run a refugium to counter any nutrients issue, and they produces lots of pods/micro faunas that will benefit your fishes too.
Temperature for coral

You don't need a 4 head fan, a single head small fan will acheieve the same temperature but significantly reduce ur evaporation.
