I have to take some photos on the current scape before I forgot after cured all this rocks.

Things to take note :

Epoxy the rocks only after the vinegar sokaed as it will soften the calcium and algae deposited on the rock surface.

After whole tank revamp, now seeing my sps started to encrusting on the epoxy or the rocks....

Due to placement location, the birdnest bottom die...

Nevertheless the colony still happy and growing....

At the same time started dosing Grotech ABCM for the 1st time after so long into marine...

Previously only water change and manual dosing Ca, Mg, Kh.

Maybe should look for dosing pump soon...

That will be allocated in my next embark on Acrylic tank....
