14 MONTHS

Tank 2

The month may be shorter than the usual but it was definitely full of interesting stuff.

There were some additions to tank 1, such as my first Purple Tang ever which I so love it, GSP, Ricordea yuma and so on. For tank 2, the new additions are Hammer Coral, my first Fungia, Xenia, Goniopora etc, including the Marina Magic Triplet Dosing Pump. Hopefully, I can re-introduce some sps soon when the parameters are more stable.

My biggest grouse is still that my camera and iPhone camera are unable to produce the right colours. They looked less stunning and more drab. The following are the livestock and technical updates:
