My 1.5 ft Reef log

yeah i saw earlier ... gives you some additional space as well huh, being external.

more real estate in your tank.

better skimming and waste export functionality

more media space.

peace of mind from water level consistency......

[jackywongto]

thoughts about my tank now...

Pretty please with the progress.

Most of the corals are doing ok ... especially the gonio.

My favorite coral in the tank now.

Once I have added the sand and pass on the spare zoas that I have, I will be focusing on maintaing the tank already. would like the sunflower zoas and some of the nicer ones encrust to cover the entire LR ... wishingful thinking yeah... but hope that will become a reality.

Next will be to add on more fishes.

still want the following :

- blue neon goby

- yashia goby + Pistol shrimp

- Royal gramma

- splendid leopard wrasse

hmmm.

just curious what would be the market price for the splendid leopard wrasse?

[teebs]

Peter!!!!! lucky you ask me to check the skimmate...

I really had some wet skimmate already... infact .. 3/4 cup full......

Its not very dark but comparable to my Tunze 9002 skimmate already.

wow... very impressed....

I am now setting it to get a little more dry skimmate....

hehe... so excited.....

I actually set it for wettest skimming just so that you will notice immediately if no skim mate is produced. Adjust the collection cup higher and you will get drier skim mate. Just a note though, the drier the skim mate, the smellier it will be.

[teebs]

wow ... really that effective huh .... hmmm ... think think think ....

Dun think...Go and get one...

[TayHongSiang]

awesome upgrade!.... u must be feeling high now....can save on dosing additives liao with MCE600...

how do u know yr armour of God and turtle death ate the mysis?..u means u literally saw them swallow up?....i think not all zoas eat mysis rite?....coz i dun c my zoas doing that...hur hur...

so i give you the black sand ... and yo give me the spare zoas

[poomoon]

Dun think...Go and get one...

hehe focusing now first on the pico

will put that in my "to ponder on" list

umm, ok stupid question. it only smells when you "actually" smell it .... right ?

[teebs]

hehe focusing now first on the pico

Get it for the PICO...

[teebs]

umm, ok stupid question. it only smells when you "actually" smell it .... right ?

True...if you don't smell it, then it won't smell...

But it actually depends on how much gunk there is in your tank water...

[jackywongto]

nice when u gettin the neon goby tell me hor i oso wanna get hehe...

so how did u position the mce600 ?

okie dokie. Will keep you posted if I see the N gobies.

MCE? HOB lor... towards the right side. My Filter sock is secured to the right corner too.

hmmm.

just curious what would be the market price for the splendid leopard wrasse?

Sorry Kiko. dun know leh. Anyone has any idea?

Noted Peter. Thanks. I notice that the skimmer reaction is very fast. I feed mysis and I see the skimmate 20 - 30 mins later....

Then no skimmate liao. very effective. One problem I have now is that due to the amount of bubbling, my CO2 has gone down by so much that my PH has shot up by at least 0.25

How to lower PH

awesome upgrade!.... u must be feeling high now....can save on dosing additives liao with MCE600...

how do u know yr armour of God and turtle death ate the mysis?..u means u literally saw them swallow up?....i think not all zoas eat mysis rite?....coz i dun c my zoas doing that...hur hur...

Save on dosing? you mean additives like AZ NO3 or bioclean? My ORP unfortunately has dropped by 20 for some reason. hope it pick up after 2 - 3 days.

Yeah I saw the zoas closed with the mysis sticking out.

so i give you the black sand ... and yo give me the spare zoas

Can can. if the zoas are still around then but common zoas lah.

[poomoon]

Get it for the PICO...

nice nice ... what a new concept huh. it's an HOF (Hang on front) Tank !

[poomoon]

Can can. if the zoas are still around then but common zoas lah.

thanks. hehe, i already have too much common zoas

so now i'll be waiting for your mc500 break in and see if i will again follow your lead master ...

[raydiative]

nice nice ... what a new concept huh. it's an HOF (Hang on front) Tank !

LOL... Nice! New concept to see equiptments instead of corals and fish... haha

[poomoon]

True...if you don't smell it, then it won't smell...

But it actually depends on how much gunk there is in your tank water...

coz tank is in the bedroom remember ? so this one has to be considered carefully haha ... wouldn't want to get

[poomoon]

LOL... Nice! New concept to see equiptments instead of corals and fish... haha

Yup ... ok i figured it out, to have it stand, put in the cleaner on the other side ... wallah ! the latest technology for pico owners !

now accepting orders ...

[teebs]

thanks. hehe, i already have too much common zoas

It's the MCE600 not MCE500.

How to lower PH

Yup, the MCE600 is very powerful for a compact skimmer...

If you try feeding with Henry's Reef Gourmet, you might even see your skimmer overflowing...

What is your PH now? I wouldn't get too worried if it is not over 8.5.

[poomoon]

It's the MCE600 not MCE500.

oops ... i stand corrected

[TayHongSiang]

True...if you don't smell it, then it won't smell...

But it actually depends on how much gunk there is in your tank water...

if u can smell the junk...means yr nutrients or the things u feed...is quite jialak...or something is rotting down there...

[teebs]

Yup ... ok i figured it out, to have it stand, put in the cleaner on the other side ... wallah ! the latest technology for pico owners !

now accepting orders ...

Waiting for your implementation.

[TayHongSiang]

oops ... i stand corrected
