  1. Kalkwasser stirrer connected to auto top-up system
  2. Not much really. Just Polylap One weekly and feed The coral Reef-roid weekly. That's it.
  3. I am happy with what I have now, as long as no more red slime and hair algae problem.
  4. Hi there. Thank you for your warm welcome. This setup has been through hell initially. I had very bad base rocks and a few sub par liver rocks to begin with. The water actually turn yellow and milky a few days later. I also made the common mistake or stocking fast and furious. It was loaded with 20 fish and full (every inch) of corals. I thought I can pull through with chemical filtration such as RowaPhos, Biosphere and Algone but the system continue to be plagued by red slime and hair algae to the point I really want to give up. Many livestock lost and everything I do such as massive water change/ siphoning just didn't help. So a few months ago I decided to tear it down and start from ground zero. I shut off light completely over a week to kill all micro algae and remove all livestocks/ sand and clean all rocks up and redo the tank. I kept the what's left over fish and the tank went through a short algae boom and after 3 weeks I added the corals and again the tank went through another mini cycle. I also reduce the rock frame and added more Tunze pumps one aim into the center of the rock cave blowing into the bottom so I don' t have any dead spot anymore. Now my tank is 2 months after the reset and the water looks sparkling. I still use the same equipment but I think the key is not to over stock and stock slowly and don't overfeed. I had a big group of barlet anthias before and I had to feed several time a day and that may have accounted to the problem. My equipment as following: Light: AI Hydra 26 x 2 set Skimmer: Delctec SR 1455 Circulation: Tunze Turbella 6095 x 2 Tunze wavebox Mainpump: Deltec 5000l/h Chiller: Resun CL650 Chemical filtration: RowaPhos Polylab Biosphere Algone Addictives: Polylab One Polylab Reef-roid This is the photo of my old tank before crash. Glorious but over stock and did not last unfortunately.
  5. You can get it from Gilbert of Marine Pet
  6. Nice aquascape. Good job!
  7. They get quite big too. They are pretty aggressive feeder and will make short work of shrimps, snails and hermit crabs.
  8. More photos of the animals and under the hood
  9. I am looking for black/white stripe, gold, blue stripped maxima in Singapore. Where can I find those?
  10. Actually I was in this hobby for 12 years. I took a break last 2 years and decided to build a new tank for my new place. I am glad I did.
  11. A friend told me some one is culturing and selling rainbow chalice frag in this forum. and he show me these photos. Can you pm me if you are selling?
  12. Here is the video of the tank.
