EvolutionZ's Floating Reef

[evolutionZ]

Another bi-color blue tenius frag initially bought to 'test water'. Turns out not only did it survived, it grew and colored up better too!
Before


Now


Also got myself a cute abalone!


The reason why i love coral Farm, They have the best livestocks around here IMO. This cleaner wrasse from them immediately whacked frozen brine shrimp when released into the tank


My Dispar Trio


End this post with a FTS, i still have space for couple cultured colonies, but nothing caught my eye so far!


Thanks for viewing!

Love your scape, especially the graceful effect of the extended overhang.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all the die hard reefers.

Merry Christmas! The tank looks fantastic and the scape looks to be working quite well!

What are you running your Maxspect at and what t5 bulbs are you using?

Im glad you loved it! i was worried i won't be able to create the over hanging effect due to very limited rocks available here! Merry christmas and happy new year to you too!

Thanks! Im currently running the razor at A:65%, B:75%. This level will run for 8 hours with 2 hours sun rise and sun set making a total of 12 hours.

The T5 fixture are fitted with an ATI Blue+ and Purple+. Prior to purple+ was using Coral+ but upon switching, immediately fell in love with the pinkish redish hue!

about 21 months ago, i purchased a mandarin fish as my first fish for my 1ft cube. It was a mistake and i had to buy pods weekly as the tank was way too small to house/breed pods to feed it.


Today it had doubled in size and went through 3 tank changes, It remains the most hardy fish and one of my favourite!


Some new addition :

Was told this is a birds of paradise!


Its been a REALLY long time since i bought cultured SPS, the first cultured colony for my tank is this beautifully shaped bali green slimer!


Red milie, loving the PE


Interesting Acro which i have no ID, greenish base with pink/red tips.


Zoas corner, They are situated at the left side of the tank! Less flow and lesser light.


After i turn off all the pumps/wavemaker the Anthias go dancing around the SPS, a truely beautiful sight.. Its a pity when i turn back the pumps on, due to the high flow the anthias tend to avoid or seldom venture among the sps.


FTS Taking with just 2 x 24 Aquazonic T5 turned on! Its pretty cool how well-lite is the tank. I did do a little brightening but just 2 tubes of the aquazonic t5 is able to light up the whole tank.


Thats all for today, thanks for viewing!

Looks great! No way that bird is a BOP, looks more like my crazy purple polyp birdsnest that when happy will grow 1/4 inch in a week. I love the look but way way too fast.

+1 not a BOP. Standard birdnest.

BOP looks like this:

But your tanks looking great man. :beer:

Love the red milli! I love millis and the red one is awesome.

 

[COENONE]

Looks good so how did you hang the t5 fixture did you attach it to the razor or hung separate from razor?

Thanks!!!

I am very impressed and love how you were able to miniaturize Mr Kang's tank. The aquascape gives you tons of places to set up frags!

Keep up the good work!

 

[ksr.aaron]

Love the Aquascaping! amazing progress Best of luck with this amazing setup!

Lovely tank!

Updates:

Went for a week long holiday, came back realised AIO Biopellet reactor is off-ed. Dosing container (Ca, kH) Both empty, which i forgot to replenish before i left! Luckily things were fine when i got back, just loads of algae and kH was at 6+.

Did a 30% WC to 'balance' everything.


New addition, 8 pieces of Red spot cardinal, they started feeding on frozen rotifers hours after adding in. Was told their survival rate are low, fingers crossed


Some new additions

Baby RBTA


Strawberry fields


Optic Fibre pocci


Despite the issues above, noticed new growth tip from this blue tip green stag!


Some old stuffs..

Sunset Monti, Shifted this frag many times and guess what, turns out it prefers the sandbed most!


Red Planet


Old purpleish-green color is returning to this old frag!


Aussie duncan

Full tank shot! As you can see, im battling tons of algae now! I probably used too little AIO Biopellet (150g?) thus po4 is not being reduced efficiently. I started rowaphos today with a TLF phosban 150 reactor and will be reverting back to Vinegar dosing + Rowaphos. Strange enough, salifert been reading 0.1 no3 and 0 po4 all the while. I do know salifert's po4 test kit cannot be trusted though!


Thats all for today. Thanks for viewing!
