I have since switched to PAR38 LEDs but the left bulb got busted (ictech) planning to fix the bulb myself.

Happy Holidays RP! My tank turned 1 year old last Nov. Took a pic this morning after installing a new full spectrum LED bulb from Aquariatech.

I might add another wavemaker to reduce some of the deadspots i see in the tank. Is sunsun a good brand? Or should I just save up for the hydors/jebaos?

Took a close up on one of the plates:


Will take some more updates including the new rockwork later. Good day!

Thanks bro!

I don't know if this sounds weird,but fascinating nonetheless, I have 2 colonies of gsps, one on a rock, one on the glass. Both are no longer connected to each other after I rearranged the rocks. After I was doing my weekly maintenance, I removed the cyano creeping on top of the gsp on the glass. As a result it was stressed out and did not come out the entire day. To my surprise, the gsp on the rock (which I never bothered) also did not come out the entire day, leading me to believe that they somehow "communicated" through chemicals emmited by their polyps leading both colonies to get threathened and duck for cover. Any of you experienced the same thing? I was facinated by this because my zoas don't seem to react the same way. It is by no means a generalization, but an observation nonetheless. Good day to all!

Did you check your parameters? napansin ko gsp ko nag cloclose pag medyo napabilis yung pag mix ko ng saltmix ko. Like hindi ko pinatagal ng 1 day or yung hindi pa clear na clear nilagay ko na sa tank ko, salinity change at minsan pag biglang tumaas nitrate ko. Pwede rin sa lighting pag from low light then biglang nag palit ka ng new lights. Give it 5-7 days? if hindi pa rin bumubukas, perform WC.

[albert_abadicio]

Yes bro. Paramaters are the same before and after the water change. The lighting is also the same. Here's the gsp on the rock today (notice the gsp on the glass, these are the 2 colonies that seem to "duck" after i stressed out the gsp on the glass as I removed the cyano covering it.)


I will heed your advice and observe what happens next week as I do my weekly routine. Good day!

Here's the full tank after rearranging the rocks.


Thanks for viewing!
