I like your livestock bro! Flame hawk very cute and the flasher wrasse will add a lot of life to the tank! I got 2 yellow fin flasher wrasses from Pinnacle and am loving them. They used to be very timid but after a week they're bold enough to steal food from my lionfish

Hi bro, glad that u like the scape. good hearfrom your yellow fin,but sad news as wake up this morning, saw my flash wrasse motionless in the quarrentine tank, it looks kind of slim, guess was bullied by the dotty back in it.haiz... no luck with wrasse....

[illumnae]

Don't lose heart, I had bad luck with wrasses when I first started too

[Siowaro]

Thanks bro, will wait for a while and observe the bio load.. Hope are within control.

Hello bros and siss, just a little update of my tank , times fly's , this tank are 9 weeks old liow, yesterday have perform a 10% water change in the afternoon,and than do some detail water test with bro James last night, reading are as below:

Ph 8.1

Kh 6.7

Ca 420

Mg 1410

K 300

No3 25

po4 0.25.

Salinity 1.025

Temp 26-27 degree

Notice my K reading are low, have bought a Red Sea B, will try out tonight. Also the No3 and Po 4 are alittle high,which result some Dinoflagellate algae.

Kh a little low too, may be due to my water change too little, will perform a 20 % water change next week.

Still waiting for my Full spectrum Par38 and Skimz 143.

Attach is a slide of my corals and fish, hope you will enjoy.

9 weeks old and can hold the sps colours consider very good liao. Go Very very very slow on the fishes...give your tank time to build enough beneficial bacteria before you add more fishes. You dont want to make my mistake which cost me 1 year of time fighting nuisance algaes

Cheers,

James

[ASHWIN]

Very nice update yes as james stated amazing that you can hold those colours at your tanks age...keep the good work up bro (:

[Siowaro]

[james72]

Increase dose or solution concentration on your kh. Try to bring it up slowly to 8dkh.

Cheers,

James

[Siowaro]

Thanks bro, will try to do so.now has increase from 2 times a day to 6 times a day, is like a sudden increase in needs of Kh... not sure is it becoz the corals are more stable now and need the elements to grow...

[Siowaro]

Today has fits up a reactor for poes4 ,hope to reduce the po4.

attach are some of the pic for yur viewing pleasure, enjoy.
