This is how my tank looks like when I get up in the morning. I am only able to see fish and corals when the room´s air conditioner is on! :)

Tank changes and progress...

Some of the changes my 150gl tank has been through the past 6 months....

November and I was still fighting an epic bacteria bloom.

January I could have lost most of my corals due to a faulty Alkalinity checker.

February was the heck of a fight against dinoflagellates.

April and May, aiptasia and green bubble algae outbreak. The green bubble algae is almost gone. Aiptasia is giving me a headache but I´m on it.

Sadly, my banded snake eel was caught in a Gyre pump and I had to put an end to her life.

My Clown tang turned too aggressive towards the Sailfin tang and any new fish added, so I took it back to a LFS.

Sold/traded/ bought a few sps corals, moved around some, no deaths since the restart of the tank in October 2015.

Sorry for the cloudy water in this video, it was recorded on the second day after dosing Chemiclean as per my maintenance schedule.

Thanks. Most of the aquarium stores are located in one same spot; Jatujak (Chatuchak) Market, you will be amazed and shocked! lol If you want I will try to PM you a map of the market with the location of the aquarium shops as I believe it is not the easiest thing to find said shops.

The saltwater business in Bangkok is a little... peculiar and I have to rely on what I can find at the LFS and also on Ebay and prepare my stock of some essential products that will last me .... I would say... two years? lol


Here a video of the Jatujak Market I found on youtube:

Amazing video of the pet market. More than I expected and would be an interesting trip to see how the market in Bangkok has developed. My only problem is that I would just have to look and not purchase due to the import and travel problems associated with shipping back to the U.S. If we end up traveling to Bangkok I will send you a PM for directions. Thanks for the education. Your tank is so well done there is much to learn on this thread.
