SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted April 30, 2018 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2018 Gave some away. The rest didn't make it Found it troublesome/diffcult to manage water conditions for stand alone tank (eg. water cleanliness, evaporation etc) Was thinking of setting up a connected tank to house baby fishes in future. Maybe try more interesting gobies or mandarins. Need to consult Chun Wai. Quote Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mysliceofnature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read in a recent edition of Coral Magazine about the various fishes bred in captivity. Something worth trying...more for interest & learning than for profit.

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted May 5, 2018 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2018 Got complacent & ignored the growing corals touching the tonga pinkbirdsnest.

Jack 123456 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hi What is your fish feeding schedule and what different food products do you use? The tank is awesome btw. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted May 9, 2018 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted May 9, 2018 Thanks. No particular fixed schedule but this should be representative enough : Morning before heading to work. Feed a small bit of Ocean Nutrition Formula One pellets Night time ~ 9pm. Ocean Nutrition Formula One pellets + a cube (about 1cm^3) of home made fish food. Use long pipette to target feed some of the food to the Rock Flower Anemone & super sun coral Reef Roids about 2x a week (night time after lights out) DD Ocean Reef Paste. About 1x a week Live Phyto culture. About 1 cup (~250ml) a night 2x market prawns chopped up & fed to Anemone, duncan, scolly once every 2 weeks, several hours before water change. Some things i need to restock soon which i found to be good : Nyos Gold Pods Selcon (Used to hydrate the reef roids) & to fortify baby brine shrimps Oyster Feast For the home made fish food, its just a mix of whatever can be found in Sheng Siong. Fish meat, prawn meat, clams. Gut of clams removed Fish/prawn/clam meat is hand chopped (not using blender). 1 Quote Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mysliceofnature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Jeebusai Posted May 10, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2018 OMG the effort in making the food is more than what I prepare for myself. Embarrassed I’m feeding them frozen stuff and pellets. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member MarCal Posted May 10, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2018 Wow... u feed the fish better than I feed my children I do chop chop chop up food for my fishes. Now looking at urs, reminding me to also add some shellfish in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted May 10, 2018 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2018 An alternative is just to purchase Larry's Reef Frenzy frozen food from Iwarna. Good product. White clams is like a lot of effort to prepare for so little meat. An alternative is 1-2 oysters instead. I don't use an electric blender as i find it mashes the fish meat too finely even with a couple of pulses. So end up cutting it with a knife instead. 2 Quote Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mysliceofnature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted May 13, 2018 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2018 Weather here in Singapore has been quite warm the past weekA. At times, hitting 32DegC inside the apartment The compressor kicked in more often. That prompted me to check the compressor temperature controller & realized that the accuracy drifted by about 0.5degC. That is, its reading too warm => cooling the tank 0.5DegC more than it should. I cross checked the Apex temp probe (supposed to be a 'long life' probe which is 3yrs old & still accurate when further cross referenced to an alcohol thermometer) Monitoring stuff : Emerald crab munching away on red turf algae. Some of them have grown quite big ~ 1.5" big. Quote Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mysliceofnature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted May 27, 2018 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2018 Just back from a 2 week vacation. More or less, the tank ran on its own. Many thanks to a fellow reefer to came in between to help check on things & to target feed the mandarin. Some things that helped with the long absence. (1) Large waste water / skimmate bucket with float sensor (2) Clarisea roller mat filter (3) Alkatronic KH measurements. I did make some calcium reactor CO2 timing adjustment remotely during the trip via the Apex Neptune. Quite happy with the Alkatronic to enable a close loop measurement of the most important parameter. Pleasantly surprised to find the max mini anemone split.

(eg ATO, skim collector, auto feeder....) Of course we all have a fear of power trip. Need to prepare for such contingencies as well.
