In a blink of an eye, the tank has been three and three months old.
Although the updates have decreased, the operation records and water quality tests have been maintained.
There are many theories that need to be supported by data and actual conditions.
Only after the actual operation and comparison can the observation ability and operation experience be improved!

For SPS, many biological responses are not instantaneous, so when bad phenomena are often observed.
It is necessary to trace back to the source what has been done before, so the operation records that can be traced are particularly important!


Without further ado, let me share my tank~



The following picture is the KH value and KH supplementary curve (yellow) from the star to the present.
KH.jpg

The consumption of KH is an important data of the state of the reaction tank!

This tank was set up in May 2019, the condition of the tank is getting better, and the KH consumption is also increasing;


About two years in operation, the tank encountered a lot of difficulties, and a large part of the bone died or was pulled out of the tank by me at that time,
There is obviously a period of low consumption around May 2021!

In the past year, the condition has improved, and the KH consumption has begun to rise again!


At present, many bones in the tank started to be moved in during that period~
The condition of the tank in May 2021~

The tank is rich in plankton, so no special feeding is required.

As soon as the lights were turned off every night, the two fishes started dancing and went to bed together.

Spawning Brittle Star​


The spawning timing of Brittle Star is different from that of shrimp and crab.
They also have a chance to occur during the day.
As long as someone takes the lead to spray, almost all the Brittle Stars in the tank will come out and take turns shooting!
They will try to go as high as possible, and they will start laying eggs when they are as tall as possible.

The yellow tang

My yellow tang has been raised for more than three years, and its value has risen recently.
I am glad that I bought this beautiful fish very early.

This kind of algae is really unpalatable, but I can never get enough to eat, I can only eat it...

Pink skunk clownfish & Anemone

I believe that many people join the saltwater aquqrium because of the symbiosis between clowns and anemones.
So am I...

Thanks for your posts ! a lot of ideas from your setting. Good choice for the switch to SW, it is more difficult but so much fun! You had some algae on the LR when setting up the tank. How did you got rid of them? hand cleaning and you added the stock after or you used tangs+CUC?

Because of the live rock I have cured for two months before opening the tank.
Not much algae in tank after 14 days of N-cycle.
The algae are cleaned up by tangs and CUC.

Yellow Prawn Goby


This fish usually stayed in the bottom sand, didn't dig holes and didn't look for shields.
The other thing that surprised me was that he was not afraid of people, which is completely inconsistent with the shy image of ordinary gobies!





After five months, a screw shell appeared near his range,
This guy finally behaves like a Goby~

cleaning sand




Unfortunately he ended up dying in Nero5...
I heard a lot of people say that AI Nero5 is a super fish killer, and later new products will be randomly attached with a rear protective cover.
It's just that once the protective cover is installed, it is almost impossible to adjust the angle, so I didn't install it by luck....
That's how tragedy happened...

After that, I put the protective covers on all three nero5s immediately ~


Eyes were knocked out.

Porcelain Anemone Crab


Very cute spotted anemone crab, found nearby anemones as a habitat.

When there's algae on the shell, it's time to get ready to change the shell.
When the crab sheds its shell, it temporarily leaves some distance from the anemone.
