240G front Drop off tank

With the new light, the difference between the sunlit shallows and the shadowy depths is more apparent - and a wonderful contrast.

Happy New Year!

LIVING PROOF that there are truly talented people in this world. I always loved the concept of drop off systems.

No worries. Drop off part is for my son to view, he just stand there watch those mushrooms. Mine is the top part where all my sps are [emoji16] and I post here is for my log. Felt I so satisfy after viewing back what I’ve done previously [emoji7]

Back after a long week holiday and tank looks fine and tanks algae grows not much in glass

Know what happen next day? Thank God [emoji1376]that I’m at home putting son to sleep after awhile suddenly fan stops and I walk out see my tank all no electricity! Next I walked out see my house electric meter still working ?!? but in house no current at all [emoji44]! Walked over next door neighbor and they have current ! Next check fuse nothing burn or switch trip. After 1hour checked only found out that ELCB Neutral line broken and N line showing current instead! End up I gotta temporary bypass the N directly next day only get a new ones.

After this incident, even though my apartment never happen breakdown electricity I gotta get a backup battery and backup fuse prepared.

Since I have some left over AF stone fix.
DIY half ball frags for zoas. Cut off half ping pong balls and use it as a mold for half ball.
Thinking back last time my Apple green zoas it grows on a rounded rocks and looks cool. So why not put few more on sand bed like multiple small round island of zoas. [emoji39]

Just finished reading all 21 pages. I love the tank. I was wondering how you put frags at the bottom of the drop off? I also love the ping pong ball idea.

Thanks for the comments.
I’m using this long tongs with step chair to clips on frag on bottom of dropoff. If the frags falls at the back of the dropoff rocks that’s it nothing I can do already.

 

[mattgsa]

It looks like we need to send you some longer tongs. Perhaps i missed it, but what are you dosing form Bioclean-d? (The three large jugs you posted in the picture earlier)

Longer tongs please [emoji1374][emoji1365]and need thin type cos mostly longer one clips head big and might knock downs top sps.
The 3 large jugs? Oh that was Aquaforest component ABC. Waiting for my component strong finished then will dose these it’s the same but more concentrated and can dose more and cheaper this will last for 6months for my tank.

Last water change was last year Aug until now don’t think wc needed yet and my po4 still on 0.00 Hanna digital , no3 Salifert 2-3ppm running diy cheato reactor.
Dosing MB7 4-5 caps weekly (if remember )and RF-fuel weekly only 5ml or VSV daily 5ml or AForest Pro Bio F 5small spoon.

Look what i get today.
Bluehead fairy wrasse
