I like this stag as well. It is a very rich red, the base is green and it’s polyps look like pink with yellow center gonios when up-close... interesting piece.

Tank update:

Been busy the last week to post updates. But here’s one: I came back home past midnight on Monday night (10 Jul 0100H) to see that my tank had stopped running.

Turns out that the adapters I had used to plug for power from had burnt through, and as all my devices were connected to one single power socket, there was no electrical supply to the tank.

I found out through one of the timer switches that the power supply had stopped since 2100H, which meant a blackout period of about 4H. This was luckily a fortunate incident as it happened at night when the weather was not so hot here, and that not too long a time lapsed before I noticed the impending catastrophe. After I restored power to the tank, the temp was 27.2°c and I was lucky that no major coral or fish died (less one Sps that STN-ed) the next day.

This was a wake up call for proper electrical management and contingencies against all the valuable livestock we have. Hope no reefers follow my same foolish footsteps.

Thanks for sharing, glad to know no major casualties or disasters. Agree electrical management is extremely important for us as we run so many gadgets.

So how do we mitigate repeats? Split the appliances into different wall sockets which feed several power bars, so that the total amperage doesn’t exceed safety limits, I guess?

oh gosh.. Luckily you were still in singapore.


Yes, I count my lucky stars that also the power supply only stopped at 9pm... and not like 1pm when I was not at home. If the outage had lasted 12 hours in the afternoon and with my tank in the balcony... I would have come home to a tank filled with 400litres of Meiji milk (and suffered from depression for the next 30 days). 🤨
