Back from the dead ngayong Undas, update ko lang 'tong tank thread ko. hehe

So many changes over the course of 11 months, since I first filled this tank with water.

Thanks to so many new reefer friends (alam niyo na kung sinu-sino kayo haha), my tank was saved from disaster, lighting was improved and got several new and long-lasting LS (most specially my fish, given that I can't have a fish live longer than a month before).

Tank setup is pretty much the same. Just changed my lighting from DIY HO T5 to IC Tech LED's, then finally, DIY LED's, with spectral outputs set to my liking. This light is this year's major investment.


Full details of my build here.

My tank now has gone from LPS/Softie to LPS-dominated, housing mostly brains, plates, blastos, acans, micromussa, favia, hammers, bubble, scoly and cynarina, as well as a few select soft coral polyps and zoanthids.

Several fish have been added over the months
Still have my Blue Tang.
Gave away my Clarkii clownfish to Marty.
Added a starcki but had to banish it in my sump due to aggression and sand stirring.
Added several wrasse and gobies as well.
Also had the heart to keep an ocellaris clownfish once again.

Here it is now under new LEDs.
