wah.....simple equipments yet such a nice sps tank....amazing...

WOW......can share yr equipment and maintenance..?

and the pic of the monti..

screw head i'm not veri sure..but i bought a fitting light bulb to test the fixture and its written e27 on the cover...it's best u check with the other par38 user or aquarium artist..i think the light is strong enough,but the angle is abit tight...the sides seems abit dark,but i did keep a monti for fun (1 mth already) and still surviving, no change in colour but the colour like abit brown,dunnoe whether is the original colour.i post a pic later. my water parameter is abit off at the moment so of the coral ain't doing well but for those zoas that are doing fine,the colour seems to be more intense than b4...dun noe is placebo effect or not.. if u got the budget , go for par38! the shimmer is simply amazing...u wun regret it!

by the way, pic 3 is star polyps and pic 4 i think is hairy mushrooms..

got some of those zoas by kelvin too....those zoas are fantasic!!

wow.....really nice sia....upz for u bro..

mrt track cleaners gonna be veri busy this mth...

i also wan to join in the fun.. Chile vs Honduras: 3 - 0 Spain vs Switzerland: 2-0 South Africa vs Uruguay: 0-0

ermm...no change of food feed but i did increase number of feeding to 2/3 per week(used to be once a week) anyway i'm using NSW for water change all along.

i'm using NSW for my 1ft and i found the surface layer of oil to be much more after my recently water change, so far my tailspot and peppermint shrimp seems to be ok n i also added a additional red spot goby recently,seem ok to me at the moment.will update if any unusual stuff occurs. not using surface skimmer by the way

choose yr livestock wisely ,limit yr feeding and a skimmer will not be required(still need water change) keeping yr parameter stable would be more important imo. get better equipments at the initial stage will in fact save u more $$ in the long run,dun need to upgrade equipment in future.. can always get 2nd hand one.

definitely possible....u probably would do better with a additional wavemaker and take note of the evaporation rate if u use a fan....they will give yr salinity levels a big headache.....a pair of clownfish pretty controversial in such a small tank but with gd maintainence and weekly water change it's likely possible....but the way is the light PL lighting.....? and ya welcome the sgreef....! hope u will enjoy the wonders of the great ocean...

even yr sump also so many gems sia..

wow....nice rhodatic....where did u get that..

Why not 2 to 3 pico size fish such as eviota or perhaps 1 tailspot blenny plus another small fish as yr livestock instead? 1ft is nvr meant for many fish in first place so why not focus yr interest on corals n some low bioload inverts?

u muz have recognize it coz it is most messy pico in sgreef.haha... anyway the par 38 led is really a veri nice light..

It's a one ft cube

Stunning FTS!!!

is the clown disturbing it??

Lemon, thanks for the info....any other nubi-eating creature to recommend? HW33,the fixture is abt 16(cheap cheap...can be found at ikea) but the max i can bring the bulb is above 24 cm above the tank itself. i took the 14k one ,so its 3 white 2 blue... the 20k one is 2 blue,3 white.... vincent from aquarium artist personally brought both the 14k n 20k to my place so that i can check the colour of the light spectrum. personally preferred the 14k ,20k is abit purplish for my liking.. i totally recommend this lighting to all nano users, esp 1ft ones.the price is reasonable and the shimmer makes it so much more pleasing to the eyes compared to PL or T5...

i think between 6 to 7 red notes...or u can try getting a 2nd hand one...

ermmm....y dun u get a refactometer??

thanks for the info guys..my sand bed is made up of Puka Shells, would that be too rough for the yellow wrasse? if it is..i will skip the idea of keeping one ...would consider the tiny bully sixline then...any other recommendation of any other wrasse/fish for nudi control?

now is abt 28.5degs....its actually cooler than with the PL lights ..but not much difference...abt 0.5 to 1 deg difference only..hey peacemaker...understand u used to keep quite a number of exotic yumas..how r yr exp of them with strong lightings??
