Planted Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi all, it's me the newbie again. ^^ It has been about 3 months since my last setup in May 2014. After going through hair algae outbreak and whatnot. I had heeded some advices and improved on my tank. First picture with fake corals are previous setup. Which was advised to remove due to detritus buildup and algae. Second picture is my current LPS tank. just added some corals and they have yet to expand wide. Will be looking into more corals and coloration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member hanafi_weeseng Posted August 11, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted August 11, 2014 Look much better now, just a suggestion to get some red or any other colour than green as currently too much green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Patrick Posted August 11, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted August 11, 2014 Very good start! Slowly add corals of different colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planted Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Look much better now, just a suggestion to get some red or any other colour than green as currently too much green. Totally agree. Still looking for red torch/hammer/frogspawn. Choosing these as they belong to same family, lesser harm compare to other corals. I hope to have them next to each other. Saw torch at Golden octopus placed just next to hammer without any issues. Even bubble coral also place beside hammer. Will eventually get some brains corals for their nice colors. Anyone seen red hammer/torch/frogspawn around any lfs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planted Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Very good start! Slowly add corals of different colors. Thank you Bro! Still sourcing for some nice corals. Agree that this tank looks like army camp now. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planted Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 A little update. Some picture can't be rotated no matter how I rotate on my file. So I will skip them until I get it fixed for purpose of easy view. Few new additions except alveopora. Just love how it looks like from top view.
