Thanks :) Yap I am trying to incorporate everything from softies to SPS. Nothing fancy but just a diverse ecosystem :)

Updated video of my tank. Please do watch it and feedback will be appreciated :)

Beautiful tank.....very very nice someday I'll get there lol:biggrin:

Thanks :D

No worries. Didn't take much time for me so you shouldn't have problem as long as you do the things technically ;)

P.S. I use tapwater without even adding any sort of dechlorinator and have never seen any algae other than diatom ;) - that's like my biggest achievement :P

Some updates:

Got three chromis:

My first dead SPS (blue gomezi acro) (I am out from acropora! Personally, I didn't like how egoistic these are; just doesn't worth it to me!):

How are you able to achieve such low nutrient levels using standard tap water Raied? Chaeto helps but it doesn't wipe nutrient from your tank.

I wouldn't say its low nutrient system but it remains under 5ppm. My whole system is somehow very well balanced; problem arises when I try to disturb something like sandbed and I get nitrate spike.

I should say I am really lucky with the tap water. I never had any algae outbreak using tap water (other than diatom) or any problem with it. Even dKh remains 9 to 10.

Tap water? Are you kidding me? You've never told me this! I've been fighting algae since day one and I use ro/di. It's on now buddy! :twised:
