Tank is looking awesome mate
When you put in the effort you get the rewards

 

[AkoAung]

man, this tank definitely tops the last one. I can't believe you have a mobile app with monitors. amazing. You're an engineer, right?

 

[shih87]

I like this one . Can't wait to see how it colors up.
How much does frags cost in Taiwan?

Thanks. I still can't tell what it is. I think it is Acropora Rosaria, but not very sure. Maybe someone can help me here. I will post two days after photo soon.
These three frags cost about US$20 each. Could be much cheaper but now is not a good timing I would say.

Thanks, I also start facing problem how to put the rest of coral after my H. Magnifica Anemone placed in tank. Any suggestion, please....

Currently, I stop my Tunze at night so I won't miss time to rescue her if sucked by Tunze. Anyway, she stay in same place for two days with/without Tunze turn on. So far so good now....

Yes, unfortunately,...I am a engineer... Hahaha
Home surveillance IP camera is quite popular in Taiwan and remote video App is just part of it. The only engineering work I did is cutting the big chunk power adapter off and replacing by a USB cable and interface for easy installation around my tank.

So far... so good.....
I'll keep my fingers crossed

Hahaha... Except fingers crossed....I start to frag my SPS and distribute to friend places... Just in case one day come home and every thing gone....

 

[shih87]

I almost forgot I still have a few SPS frags in friend's place. (Thanks, Elton)

Yesterday I got them home. Some I even forget what they original look like color-wise and species....Anyway, reset to day 0, take some photos on day 1, and let's see how they develop after"¦.

Will be interesting to see how colours develope on these. :dance:

 

[AkoAung]

It has been a while no big shipment of SPS coral arrive Taiwan market, I can only push the dealer working harder.....

I just wonder if reef raft has a distributor in Taipei. I believe most of their SPS are cultured so they should be available year round? I'd love to see what their sps would be like in your hands

 

[samuelnan]

Your system is very amazing, and all the installing like an artwork.
I have some question for the Apex controller.
1. Can Apex control 4 pcs of tunze 6055 without tunze multiple controler 7095? As i understand, the part VDM can instead of tunze7095, am i right? If i want to achieve this controling, what elso acceceries do i need?
2. Can Apex control both tunze and MP40/60 together? Is it easy to settle?
3. Do you plug in the chiller on the EB6 and used the Apex temp prob to control the chiller ON/OFF? OR, use another temp controler to switch your chiller. My chiller is also transform from air condition.

Think most reef raft originates from reef raft Asia then distributed to Canada and other places i would hope this tank can get some of there pieces. what a piece of work thanks for sharing. love your tank and appreciate what you put into it.

Will do some comparison later.

I don't think so, but some reefers in Taiwan able to get ORA and RR from some channels that I can never understand how"¦.

Thanks.
For #1, my understanding is Tunze do have special Apex Y cable to plug in, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVdunU-b29Aone VDM port for two Tunze units, so I would believe it is able to handle up to four. I never try it since I enjoy some 7096 feature that Apex not able to make easy way.
For #2, I heard some folks did, I don't see why not, but I don't know for sure.
For #3, I original plan is using EB6 for my chiller. However, once I found he chiller has a independent controller and alarm system, so I delay my plan. Will see if it is robust enough in summer time, then decide.

Thanks. There are some small reefer group in Taiwan own many rare SPS colony and frag include ORA and RR. I did not chase rare SPS, but always get excited when received them.

If you are interested, I can get you in touch with RR canada. He has shipped corals to Taiwan and Korea I believe. I just don't know what paper work is needed but he may know.

Thanks. I personally do not enjoy paper work, but a few of my friends may interested.

I feel KZ-ing....
Hope light color does not equal to sick coral....

 

[AkoAung]

Thanks. I hope the rest of coral turn to KZ color soon.

Haha, indeed. Every time I look at my FTS, I wonder when I can fill these bare spots.... Maybe I should be more aggressively hunting new coral or speed up coralline algae grow.
