Thats a beautiful acan bro! Alveopora and blasto looking good too

Thanks bro! Bro kkk121 still has about 15 heads of the acan, if you are interested though lol, i like the way its colours are blended together and not defined clearly..

Ahhh, so its an alveopora huh.. ok noted.. very glad that its recovering well too..

Gonios supposedly hv 24 tenacles on each polyps compared to alveopora's 12.

Ha... I'm not sure which **pora it is. Not an expert. But it sure looks healthy. I'll wait for yr acan to multiply and yr frag sales! Lol..

Then you probably got to wait for a long time bro.. Or are you waiting because you are planning for a new tank soon? LOL

Awesome~! Now i know its a gonio, but they are truly a very sensitive species.. I believe they closed up due to the high temperature and lack of nutrients in my tank, opened up slowly after i added the chiller and opened up even more after i dose the polyp lab one..

Thinking of trying out the polyp lab booster after I stock up more corals..

Quite pleased with the polyp lab products till now (I am using the their bio-spheres, reef roids and one), only thing is we have to work out the dosage ourselves carefully because their dosage is always for large aquarium size and not for nano tanks..

Hellooo dear reefers~! Been a while since i update my tank thread, been too occupied with enjoying my tank!! Spent the whole weekend for reefing and fixed up some new toys, just gonna share and post this DIY t5 set in addition to my Maxspect 120w for any bros wanting to DIY your own t5 set~!

The basic parts needed, end caps, wiring, reflectors, ballast, etc etc easily available at a few lfs..

Its pretty straight forward after you get the wiring sorted out. Once fired up, all my corals showed their true colour... (meaning not as great as i thought, LED can be rather misleading, at least for me..) So hopefully my t5 can bring out more colours

I am currently into reefing for about 6 months now, despite all the blah blah blah issues encountered, it has been great and nothing beats seeing growth and colours~!!

Best sps growth in my tank has to be my favourite sunset mille

Nice & neat DIY.

You can get heat shrink tubes from Sim Lim in case you want to change out the sticky electrical tape.

Just to check.... both T5 tubes are Coral Plus?

Thanks bro~! I found out about the heat shrink tubes after i am done with the DIY, too late sianzz.. but i will keep that in mind~! :thumbsup:

Actually i bought all the colouration of tubes to test out the combinations. I am currently using 1 x coral plus and 1 x aquablue special, blue spectrum will come mainly from my LED. Still trying out the different combinations though. Any recommendations?

Any bros mind sharing whats is RX DIP?

RX dip is the brand? I got quite some aliens in my corals wanna get rid of them.

Will it work for liverocks?

Coral rx is a dip for corals to get rid of the pests on them. May not work that well for big liverocks because the live rocks may have too many holes and holes may be quite deep in.. I wouldnt use it for liverocks at the end of the day..
