Thanks for your kind word Apache, as i don't have a CA reactor, i dose calcium everyday in small amount.
Besides that, i also dose

iodine(1 drop daily), overdose can cause algae boom, if i forget to dose today, i will not dose 2 drop tomorrow.

strontium (also in small amount daily, about 5 drops), overdose can cause some harm to your clams if you have any.

KH in small amount daily (powder form)
and also trace elements.

I must admit that i am quite a lazy person, I only measure my parameter once a month (which i don't recommend)
But i do make it a point to make WC weekly of almost 2 pails. I think is about atleast 25gal of WC weekly.

My sump together with my tank is about 90gal.

Just to share a pic of my favourite scolymia which is already in the pass due to my stupid and careless actions

I still miss it till today.

WOW!!!!!!!!! That was one BEAUTIFUL scoly! I'm sorry it's gone

Yes dshnarw, on one day my hands got itchy and turn off the chiller and after my maintaince, i forgot to turn it back on and the temperature rises to 40 degrees!

Is an very painful and expensive lesson for me. So i never switch for my chiller ever again after that incident

I don't think I've ever seen a tank temp go that high before. It gets that hot over there??

dshnarw,In my country, the temperature is between 27 to 31 degrees all year round. But with my pumps and lightings on, is not surprise that it will rise up to 40

j'field, your pictures are outstanding! You could publish your own reef book. I agree, that was a gorgeous scoly. I also particularly like your cup coral, blasto, and gorg. Just a super job all around!

Thanks c est ma for your compliment, you just bring me to heaven! I am still far from creating a beautiful reef tank and there's more for me to have, buy and learn. My knowledge is still not enough, not to say publish a reef book. Maybe that would be 10years later

Just to share afew more of my sad past pics due to the same sad incident which i am still sad when i think of it

im going to punch you... this tank is to nice... TOTM?!?!

Thank Matty1124 for the compliment. Lol, think mine doesn't fit in the TOTM. Mine is too big to be a nano.

Wow, very nice! Its so full of color and life... amazing.

Thanks Lalani, more pics to come about my shifting and all.
Me too love to see your sexy shrimp thread.
After looking at your thread, I went to buy some too.

Just when you think his pics/tank couldn't possibly get any more spectacular...!!

Truly amazing, j'field!

Wow, it's not going to be easy to move that behemoth, is it?!

--Diane

Yes truly a difficult and tiring task for me.
If not for the mishap at my living room (tiles on the floor just crack with unknown reason).....

WOW this tank is amazing.

Amazing shots, as always! glad to hear the shift went well.

OMG - AMAZING TANK
I absolutely love it!!!!
I hope to have my tank look even half as nice by the time I'm done!\

Wow your tank is simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your tank is by far one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
<333

My eyes! My eyes! Your tank is an overload to the senses!

last time i went to singapore i did notice a ridiculously varied selection of corals. I wanted to smuggle some onto the plane. Im sure american customs would have liked that! Great tank

Thanks land_lubber, I am still in the process of beautifyng my tank. So hopefully I can amaze you more in the process But imo, there are still lots of even nicer tank around me.


Thanks Duncan, not all went well actually. 2 fishes commited suicide during the shift. And accidentally killed 3 poly of red mushrooms while trying to attach them to rock with rubber bands. (and I'm not gonna try that again.) And afew of my corals got sting accidentally as well during the shifting and scaping But what I can say is that most are fine and recovering well to it orginally state.
At the same time, I also took the opportunity to take out some fishes like my yellow tang and my hawkfish to reduce some bioload and at the same time to try out some nano fishes like gobies and nano inverterbrates like sexy shrimps....



Thanks zhubbell for the kind words. With patience, I'm sure your will look even nicer than mine in time to come when your tank is done

Thanks again lilredneckman, really feel honour and encouraging to hear nice comments from you guys.


Thanks daniellevendetta for the kind words, hopefully you have already seen millions of tank before you have seen mine. Lol just joking!


Thanks lakshwadeep.


Thanks noobofreefs.


Thanks aquaneesh, and yes we do have some great and nice shipments of corals in LFS once in awhile. But the price of some are By the way, which country are you from?

I must warn you about the sexy shrimps. They will eventually turn into zoa eaters. Some said if you feed them enough, they won't touch the zoas but my experience said otherwise, or I'm just unlucky.

Regardless of how much I feed them, they never give up on munching the forbidden 'fruit'.

Imho, don't take the chance. It is just not worth it. Just my 0.02

Thanks Duncan for the warning. I will keep a watchout! Actually I have already put them in my tank and right now they are hosting on my alveopora. Keeping my fingers cross If I found out that they turn nasty, I will take them out immediately.

Actually, I have read some reviews. But was confused as some commented as 'reefsafe' and others 'not reefsafe'
So I guess it might also depends abit on luck too. Just like keeping pymgy angels. Some manage to keep safely with corals while others are not so lucky I guess.

Hey j'field and Duncan what shops in Singapore do you go to? and do they have websites? the only one I know there is reefdepot and they ship to New Zealand as well

Hi land_lubber, you can try harlequinmarine.com or aquamarin.com.sg
Actually, you can see the neighbouring site in the forum here: absolutereef.com

But I'm not sure if they do shipping oversea

Thanks for that

Beautiful tank. My only concern was the tang - but it seems you have remidied that now. So its a Mary Poppins tank - positively perfect in every way!

Thanks L34NN3, I was just curious what was it that make you concern about the tang? I am concern too, cos it my pet

Small tank and the tang police It is widely stated on here minimum tank sizes and tends to cause a lot of flames...

some of our local forums:
http://www.sgreefclub.com/
http://www.absolutereef.com/

Yes L34NN3, now I get what you mean. That was 1 of the reasons why I sold off my yellow tang

Hi Toomin, you from S'pore too
