44 MONTHS

Another challenge is coming up because I will be away for 8 whole days. There was a strange turn of events that see me blogging on 1 Sep 16 to provide updates for the month of August 16. Well, I was supposed to be on a flight at 12:40 am but the flight was cancelled and the flying was rescheduled to the next day.

Anyway, today marks the first day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar and I think it is auspicious month.

Aquarium 1 (1 feet cube - 27 litres)
I was inspired to add more rbta to this aquarium because I want this to be a Clownfish tank. I added a pink anemone to the aquarium but it seemed to lose its pink over time. I suspect it it was injected with a dye because when I took it out from the bag from the aquarium, the water was slightly pinkish.

The livestock are:
  • Fishes
    • 3 common Clown Fishes
  • Invertebrates
    • Turbo Snails
    • Cleaner Skunk Shrimp
    • Camel Shrimp
    • Sea Urchin
  • Corals
    • LPS
      • Supersun Coral
      • Fox Coral
    • Soft Corals
      • cyan Tree Coral

      • Zoas
      • green Star Polyps
    • Macroalgae
        • green Algae

    The technical information is as follows:
    • Atman HF-0600 HOB Filter
    • Maxspect Razor Nano 60W (10,000K)
    • Tunze Nano Osmolator
    • AOL 60 litres chiller
    none of the Clownfishes touched the anemones!










    Aquarium 3 (3 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet and sump - 250 litres)
    I am really quite elated to see the sps displaying more vibrant colours and have added more sps but for some strange reason, my AI lights started giving me problems last night again. Some of the colour LED lights apparently switched off at certain times and it is so frustrating. I may have to send it for servicing again.
