Here's an update before im going for 'holiday' on a famous island in singapore tomorrow!

I was looking at some photos when i first started this tank and first started filling it up with SPS and its about 2 months since all these happened.. Due to this being a new tank (started stocking/bringing back SPS less when tank's less then 1 month old) and i was battling high phosphate (probably leaking from those rocks), most of my SPS turned brown or wasn't as brightly colored.. Finally im seeing some difference after removing AIO Biopellets and going back to what i used to and had great success, which are vinegar dosing and Rowaphos.

My current Parameters:

kH 7.6-8.2
Ca 400-410
Mg 1700 (Yes 1700! Maintaining at this level to reduce algae growth and encourage coraline, slowly reducing now by doing WC weekly)
Potassium 390-400
No3 : 0ppm
Po4 : 0.02-0.1 (my hanna checker gives a varied result)

Im also back on Red sea Salt (Normal) instead of Skimz, im seeing more PE after the switch (using red sea for 10% WC Weekly). Not sure if it is due to the salt though...

Now here's some before and after photos of some SPS showing a 2 month time gap.

Bali Green slimer, fresh from a culturing farm


Now, Grown quite alot!


Purple bonsai


I lost the purple totally for about a month and im seeing that the purple are coming back


I cant wait for it to return to it's former glory...


Radioactive birdnest


amazing growth in just 2 months


Blue tenius, i wasn't prepared to buy a big colony back then and saw a small frag accidentally fragged off, bought that instead.


It has turned out to be a true beauty! regretting not getting the colony..


A pink based birdsnest with greenish polyps..

Strange enough, it looks totally different now


SSC and blue tip green stag..


SSC lost its color but its slowly regaining back, seems to be branching out!


blue tip green stag is growing pretty fast too.. encrusting and branching at the same time


The rest shows the update of my SPS now..

Sun set monti


True optic Fibre


Aussie spathulata


Red planet


Purple bonsai, yes its the same as the one above! the colony was encrusting very well on a piece of rock before i decommed the old tank, i had to seperate colony from the base and found it a pity to throw the base away.. So i fragged it up and this the main piece! Its starting to branch out too!


red stag, base is turning green

Missed out some stuff, Extremely happy with my Curve 7!


As i will be away most of the time from now on, i decided to make things easier for my dad who will be helping me dose my zeovit and Fauna marin Color elements, zeovit has been labeled and are easy to dose (2 drops each time).. FM CE will be more troublesome as im dosing 3ml and 2ml of ultra organics. To make things easier for my dad, i found these cute little containers in Daiso. The wine shape container holds 3ml and the fish shape one holds 2ml.


When packed like this, my dad can simply take the containers out and squeeze into the tank. I don't have to worry about him forgetting which is which and risks of overdosing.
