[hotsoup]

Hi,

The SPS virus is spreading fast in local reef community, until lighting shops also run out of 250w and 400w light set. They said that many people are buying for aquarium. WOW. can we have a head counts here, how many of us are moving to SPS?

[andysho]

i am moving into now~~~

My 2 feet cubeTank is cycling in progress now~~

just add sand yesterday~~~

waiting for live rocks`~~~~

only waiting for BLV 250w bulb stock to come in

[alanseah]

me also going into .. but will be a mix reef

[andysho]

heard that mix reef must be careful esp the placing as sometimes those soft corals will tend to sting those hard corals and so on~~~~

[alanseah]

yup i know...

I'm planning to seprate then into 2 area either left or right or top or bottom..

then u can mix then and got no problem with the sting...

alsu u got to look out for light and water current lor.

[hotsoup]

Ya loh, the 250w is out of stock and only will come in next week

[roidan]

not me...i intend to feed heavily

[andysho]

yep agree~~~ it seems that i have to put more ph into my

tank~~ even after placing 2 power head which located on

the top behind~~ it seems that not enought current were flowing

within the bottom ,maybe due to 2 feet height . The bottom seems to be not much of current, guess have to put 2 more powerhead $and attach to the lower portion to ensure maximum flow

[alanseah]

u r keep sps huh...

if not a gd reef tank got 3 compartment..

the top with high current.. the mid is mid current and bottom is low current..

[andysho]

keke but wonder how much it cost sia

[alanseah]

[andysho]
