Dealing with high nitrates. Trying to keep it below 20ppm through water changes.

Palythoa Caesia under LEDs

I also found out that a shop sells seachem products here so I bought 500ml of seachem matrix, 100ml denitrate and 100ml purigen. This is to make up for the rocks I took out during the rescape (why I have diatom blooms/ nitrate probs). Hopefully the matrix and denitrate (bio media stuff) will keep nitrates under control once the bacteria have colonized them.

a different kind of toadstool with slightly green tinged short and dense polyps.

galaxea (taking risks). So far, it hasn't put out any long stinging tentacles. But I placed it where hopefully it won't be able to sting anything.

Good News: Moved into new house.

Bad News:

Found out I had a broken lamp for the past year possibly. Attempted to have it fixed by a local shop but they said 'di na madala'. Anyone with soldering skills want to experiment replacing leds for this?

Galaxea didn't make it.

Neutral News:

Despite the broken lamp, the new toadstool grew. But it lost the green color.

Current FTS under temporary t5 lighting:

I think my best option would be to get PAR38 lamps. And this time, use a fan.

After a nightmarish experience with Philippines Customs, I finally have these:

Figured I might as well try the china brand leds. So far, the color looks more disco-ish compared to the boostleds, but maybe it's just me not being used to it.

Under the new lights. The greens don't really pop under these lights. But hopefully being full spectrum, this will be better for the corals long term.
