  4. Good day reefers, well time really flies and my reefer 350 has reach the 3rd year milestone. Really enjoyed this journey and been thru many ups and downs, more downs i would say lol .

    Killed tons of corals and waste alot $$ but which hobby dont waste $$? Reefing is a very rewarding hobby and it will never cease to be boring as reef tank always got daiji one, be it equipment failure, pests, unknown coral/fish deaths, dreaded brown jelly disease, Famous STN and RTN bros, Regardless of all the problems, seeing your fish and corals doing its thing is like having a piece of mother nature in your own home, really takes the stress away and helps to calm me down.

    Some pictures (with orange filter) to mark this milestone, hopefully many more milestones to go!

  5. Tried before doesn’t work they always come back within 1-2 weeks, also tried F Aiptasia….haiz


    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk


    Probably is u miss killing those aiptasia in hard to see or reach places, i had aiptasia growing in places in sump near total darkness, they will continue to reproduce and spread. U can try kuekenthali shrimps, they do eat apitasia and generally reef safe but i found out they eat xenia as well .

    Fish wise is copperband, file fish and aussie stripey, but most likely fishes that eat apitasia is not reef safe and will find meaty coral irresistible. One way u can test is get a cheapo acan and test, if the fish dont touch it few months den likely safe, in any case fish behavior is hard to control so proceed with caution. Best of luck bro.

  6. Happy new yr reefers! Hope everyone reef tank is doing well.

    Been some time since update as bz with work. New yr time to try new things

    Sodium Hydroxide dosing- Raising alk and pH, much better than kalkwasser as its more concentrated due to its better solubility in water. Some reefers try potassium hydroxide dosing but this means dosing potassium into the reef tank, as i dont really do any icp or potassium testing so not considering this method.

    Really dangerous to prepare as Lye is quite corrosive, Doing necessary precautions, dont prepare with kids at home and ensure dosing container is hdpe/PP. Those commercial dosing container mostly acrylic base probably not ideal for long term storage

    IMG_3449.JPG

    Bought this kamoer dosing container which is hdpe material, 5L can use long time

    IMG_3447.JPG

    Remember to don the PPE- Not truly super safe but something always better than nothing haha.

    IMG_3448.JPG

    Always add NaOH beads or flakes to rodi and never the other way round. Add in some batches and stir, its giving a lot heat so has to be careful, also do in well ventilated place as fumes produced. Super high pH so need be extra careful.

    IMG_3450.JPG

    Some macro shots

    GSP- one of most underrated corals, reefers often fear it overrun the tank, simple way to overcome is to not mount on rocks, For me i mount on background and if growth is too much, it is easy to tear off and trimed, much easier to manage than pulsing xenia as it somehow can spread even though mount on isolated rock.

    IMG_3515.JPG

    Heng Ong Huat digi, also another underrated coral, looks good and tanky
    IMG_3517.JPG

    Orange chalice i tink, almost died due to rookie mistake and 1 yr later recession has stop and seems to be slowly recovering, before and after pics

    IMG_3528.JPG

    IMG_3519.JPG

    Another chalice coral, not cheap, but looks nice and like paddle pop ice cream, 1 yr of growth, before and after pics
    IMG_3527.JPG

    IMG_3518.JPG

    Another chalice, UFO i tink, Chalice is also another underrated coral, is colorful and quite tanky in my humble opinion.

    IMG_3524.JPG

    Some sps frags i got, hopefully can slowly grow into colonies.

  7. I did aclimatisarion by adding some water every 5 mins thrice and then slowly released the prawn from the bag

    Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app




    For acclimation, would advise drip acclimation. Its simple and cheap to DIY, get some airline tubing and airline valve to control the drip rate. For livestock, normally i would float the bag in my QT for 30mins to sync the temperature and start drip acclimate. I normally drip acclimate for 1 hr. i would check the end point salinity to ensure it matches my QT salinity before release. normally i keep to within +/- 0.002 works well for me. Hope it helps u.

  8. Exciting news that AI Hydra lights will soon be Mobius platform (similar to the rest of Ecotech). I got roped in to help with beta testing. Very nice interface and includes templates & additional features compared to the native AI app.
    Will share more at a later time. Here is a screen shot :

    Hi bro, do you know how will this affect current AI app users? Means all will need to swap to mobius? I am so used to current AI app, simple and neat.

  9. Thanks so much for the helpful comments.  In terms of battery backup, what did you use?  Also, won't aeration be the most important too? 


    I using coral box battery backup, can check with reefmarket sg. Do check compatibility with ur wavemaker, not all is compatible. Aeration is the most important, the wavemaker is providing the aeration. just make sure wavemaker is creating surface agitation and u r good to go. Hope it helps.

  10. Hi Reefers,  quick question please.  My condo is scheduling a power outage for maintenance from 9 to 5pm. 
    What can I get by with and cannot and what can be done about those that I cannot?  An Uninterrupted Power Supply unit can't power up a chiller and lights can it?
    Thanks so much!
     


    For my last power outage maintenance, i only prep ice bottle in advance, battery backup connect to wavemaker is sufficient. In the end, maintenance only lasted 2-3 hrs, technicians like to give alot buffer time in case of emergency haha..i didnt even manage to use ice bottles and power is already back..Corals and fish without light for few hrs is definitely fine. Hope it helps.

  11. Been awhile since updated

    Recently got him a girlfriend, cohabitation on the first nite, fast game
    IMG_2180.JPG

    Recently alot pests, pls dont expect ur LFS to ensure pest free, onus is always on the buyer.

    Introducing my Advanced Coral Inspection System (ACIS)
    IMG_2115.JPG
    1. Reef dip = Red sea DipX
    2. Magnifying glass to see pest and eggs
    3. Car handphone holder (not sure wats it call)
    4. Iphone to provide bright lights and timer for 15 min dip, (any handphone will do )
    5. turkey baster to blast the dip solution at infected coral
    6. Ikea 2liter Tub, very good for dip as transparent and sufficient height for larger colony
    7. Maxspect tongs (useful tongs as wont rust)
    8. Clean tank water for washing coral
    after dip; u dont want the dip to go inside ur tank as dips are harmful to inverts.

    My torch previously infected by euphyllia eating flatworms, look at huge chunk of meat kenna eaten…

    IMG_2117.JPG

    If ur corals kenna infected by watever pest, remember one dip is never enough, remember to inspect for eggs. Search and Destroy. QT and multi dips.

    Some photos by Olympus TG camera, underwater picture and outside handphone camera still got difference i tink

  12. If possible, rent a par meter from other reefers for par measurement, sometimes less is more, i got bleach corals b4 with too high light especially LPS. Use Eye is not zhun one. Most important is the light intersection point, ie the area inbetween 2 light source. If budget constraint, can google app for par measurements, dont think its accurate but agaration is better than nothing. Just my 2cents. Best of luck and happy reefing!

  13. Time for update

    Bought stuff from ah ma zone again .

    Witch hazel - Rumoured to stop RTN/STN. All based on anecdotal experience, RTN/STN is caused by some kind of cilates/bacteria (i tink) and this witch hazel can kill this cilates/bacteria. Ho siao or not, try and will know, as the saying goes dead horse treat using live horse medicine, in other words, since its 99% dying just whack loh. 🤣
    IMG_1721.JPG

    Kalkwasser
    The legendary addictive that adds calcium and alkalinity and pH. Often dosed in the ATO but this method is very much dependent on ur evaporation. For me, i will use the doser and dose throughout the day to stabilize the pH.
    IMG_1722.JPG

    Purple non sulphur bacteria
    Based on description, dose liao ur reef tank will fly lol.

    Interested peeps can go algaebarn website take a look- https://www.algaebarn.com/blog/advanced/r-palustris-the-do-all-aquarium-bacteria/

    Seems like holy grail of all bacteria, but as with all things in this hobby, its not snake oil unless proven so lol. Try try first, dosing bacteria to increase diversity also a good idea.
    IMG_1723.JPG

    Just got a new toy, olympus TG camera. Still trying to figure out the settings. This hobby will make u spend outside of the hobby lol. 1 hobby leads to another. Pok Gai soon.
