Finally! New place...new tank!

[cheemi]

Colors get better. Good job

Current parameters:

Sg: 1.025

Calcium: 445

dKH: 8.5

Mg: 1425

PO4: 0

NO3: 2.5

Was quite surprised dKH is dropping so fast. Thought it was supposed to drop proportionately with calcium and magnesium since I'm using C Balance. Cal and Mg are increasing instead. Set up a separate dosing regime to bring up dKH to 9 instead

Removed this nice purple monti digi from the frag plug an glued to the rocks instead. Growing very quickly. Thanks Joe again for this frag!

Thanks guys for the comments. I think now is a

very boring stage as I try not to buy any more corals (key word is 'try') due to limited space and I'm just waiting patiently for the sps to grow. Now just gotta maintain

current maintenance routine and ensure optimum parameters.

Till then.... Have a great new week ahead everyone!

Very nice tank and coral colour is nice too. It hard to stop yourself from buying any coral expect you don't visit lfs at all once visit donno why sure will spend.

[Admiraltian]

Think it look like lokani too. Ha ha... I dunno liao.

Yea man. I think hard to verify those suggestions at a hobbyist level. I've also given up trying to ID them. Hope to meet you guys some day at the farms to say hi!

Hi guys,<br /><br />Decided to start a new thread to document my new tank in progress. <br /><br />After 13 years in the hobby, finally having my own home and going to start everything anew with a partition tank. Over the years, I have been dosing and doing everything manually due to tight budget as a student, do hope to automate as much now and just enjoy the hobby with my wife.<br /><br />General specs in planning stages:<br /><br />Tank: 3 x 2 x 2 ft with 3 side crystal glass partition tank with external overflow, sump, kapo wood stand and full height white glossy cabinet<br /><br />Return pump: 4000l/hr Hailea 8840<br /><br />Wave maker: Vortech MP40<br /><br />Dosing: Bubble Magus 3 channel BM T-01 dosing pump (planning to just dose C Balance with occasional balling if required.<br /><br />Fluidised Reactor: got a second hand customised one for phosban or row aphis next time<br /><br />Chiller: Using compressor unit with titanium coil. I'm quite particular about trunking and my aircon ledge is quite some distance to my fish tank location, but luckily my interior designer managed to conceal all of them including my system 4 aircon trunking<br /><br />Lighting: ATI T5 8 x 39w. First time using T5 and hope it doesn't disappoint.<br /><br />Skimmer: undecided. Still contemplating on a Skimz Monster SM 161 or Deltec SC 1455 or Bubble Magus Curve 9. Any recommendations? I'm quite inclined to bubble magus due to its reviews and relatively cheaper price. Seems more hassle free too<br /><br />Livestock: Planned to have a mixed reef, with heavy bias for sps. Will need the Los or the softer flowing look though<br /><br />Set up plan:<br /><br />Probably gonna use sea water to fill my tank in initial stages an use some of the sand in my current 12g to seed the tank. Might try prodibio too and let it cycle for about a month.<br /><br />Kick start with some current home reno picsImageUploadedByTapatalk1369562079.557005.jpg<br /><br />

A really sad day during this week. This piece dropped and landed on my torch coral overnight. RTN by the time I saw it. Sigh...

Reinforces the notion of perseverance and also my stupidity of not glueing it. RIP...

[Evolutionz]

i feel you bro.. my radioactive birdnest dropped on my elegance coral for a couple of hours and the parts that touched also RTN.

Had a good friend come over to see if he could identify the cause of the lightening tissue underneath this stag. The top is still nicely coloured with new tips forming though.

Saw some vaguely looking bite marks and we suspected it could be flatworm eating flatworms (AEFW). Decided not to take to any chance and bought some wrasses including:

- 6 line wrasse

- green wrasse

- yellow wrasse

- green mandarin

Wanted to try dipping it but realised it was already encrusted and might be too much if a hassle.

Here is current pic of both top and bottom part

[Mellow]

On a positive note, this orange monti digi has almost recovered at the tips after falling onto the same torch corals weeks ago
