Some more Sps. Nothing fancy about them but hopefully in a years’ time I can see some growth comparison pictures [emoji120]

Not fancy....?
Those are gorgeous.

Wow your tank is amazing! Did your system go through any type of cycle with the transfer from old tank?

Thanks for reading my thread too ^^

Thanks!! My system did not go through a cycling per-se as I had cycled my rocks for about 8 weeks before they were introduced into the tank. Also, I transferred all of of my live rocks from my previous set up together w the live sand. With that, I did not have to go through the nitrogen cycle as there was no die-off or spikes in ammonia or nitrite to deal with.

However I still kept this tank running with only the rocks and sand for about a week before all corals were transferred. The fishes only went in about 3 weeks after the corals rocks and sand were all settled in. Hope this clarifies [emoji4]

Thanks @Janci! However most of these are considered quite common here in Singapore. I’ll try to take some pictures of the more “rare” corals soon and post them up! These ones are usually smaller frags [emoji28]

A black ice and a davinci maybe? I have a paired set of black ice. Great fish!

I’m not really sure what kind of clowns they are t be honest. I went to the LFS with my girlfriend and she picked the ones she liked. I was only responsible for paying the $$$ [emoji38][emoji28][emoji28]

Got some new frags recently.

Rainbow Loripes, Pink Duster and Tricolor Selago

Looking great.
Sirius, what is the name of this last acro?
Could you also tell where you have it placed in the tank?
High/mid/low light - flow?

Haha I’m not sure what it is though...

I placed it at the top closest to light source, and it has medium flow where it is...

Just received this order from Saltwater Aquarium. Can’t wait to try it out!

Any other users of this refractometer here? I read good reviews about it online and it gives a reading almost instantly!

 

[markstubb]

Funny, I have an inbound order from them too. I nearly bought one of those, but I already have the digital refractometer from Milwaukee, and while it's "good enough" I still double check with the regular refractometer. I think the Milwaukee has the same +/- degree of error as that icecap one. I do like the small size of that icecap one though.

I'm surprised they don't send the little "spoon" with it anymore?
