Things are very different this month, and I don't mean it in a good way. I was busy and neglected the care of the main aquaurium to the extent that I lost a number of SPS and even LPS. I bought a new chiller Hailea HS66A but haven't had the time to connect it up to replace the current under-sized one. Honestly speaking, I don't know the real reason why my SPS started to show stn from the base but even my precious Millepora was finally lost.
The updates are presented below.
Aquarium 3 (3 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet and sump - 250 litres)
On the fish issue, the Golden Maroon has become such a notorious bully that I strongly believed it was responsible for the demise of the smaller true Percula clown and constantly chases the bigger true Percula clown to hide at a corner.
The Red Planet is looking better with each passing day and remains one of my few reliable SPS besides the Pocci.
A few of my LPS e.g. bubble coral, octo-coral, flower pot coral, almost wasted away completely.
