Been busy and lazy to update... too many other thing todo ... too much work? ... some of the excuses of course hehehe. Anyway so far the tank maintenance.. WC etc has not been neglected yet... so its cool but i really dun have anything to add/post bout new addition to the tank.

Lets start with a salt brand that i recently used. In early days, i used Red Sea salt then followed by Instant Ocean until last month. Been battling with low Ca level since and later required to always add additional Ca buffer... even thou doing some correction by several wc but its not help much! the weekly wc not able to keep up with the update. So rather than nyusahkan diri with dosing Ca, now trying with other salt brand which have higher Ca compare to IO. So far Red Sea Coral Pro giving some positive feedback after 1 month. Without testing the Ca level in the tank, the growth of my SPS is noticeable compare to before. The only bad thing i think intermittent red slim algae which is not necessary  causing by the salt itself... anyway the algae not really bother me at all cause its just exist in very small number and only at one place. Maybe because of the dead spot.

One of anthias i think undergoing sex transformation. The color slowly change to male version now which is from orange to pink... but its not too obvious as to date. Will keep posted bout this. The copperband still live strong and fat! love this fish... right now the only food taken is frozen food. Brine and mysis shrimp become his only food right now. So for now can say good bye for aiptasia. The doctor fish also still alive.. too early to tell if it will thrived in the tank... so far its bout 3 months let see what happened after several months more. But i'm happy this fish eat and social well with other tank mate ;)

I also stopping NP Biopellet for awhile now, not because of the product not effective or what so ever... i just very lazy to go LFS to buy a new stock.. hehehe thats the only reason for temp stop. Will start again once i buy a new stock.

Other than above ... most of the free time has been spend for shopping/window shopping etc etc for a next newborn. Because of this .. now WC time been change to monday instead of normal saturday ... hehhe.. penat woo

Joined this FISH Philosophy Training at the office yesterday... however it not something related to any tank! Its just like motivation course. Its a good course i think which is basically cover 4 main points "Be There","Play", "Make Their Day" and "Choose Your Attitude".

Well its licensed training program which i believe really make my day by joining this course. Ermmm... so far not many course/training which i really can appreciate  but this is one of i think worth my 2 hours. Its fun .. its educational .. its useful and its really help me to always think positive and enjoy whatever i do. to be exact even tho i did enjoy myself before but i do limit some of the element for a certain group of people instead of everyone. To gain more self satisfaction in whatever i do i believe i should apply what i've learn to every group of people.

Good luck for me and for further reading please refer to this site

Alhamdullilah .... am i too excited? not sure myself ... but i'm happy for myself and my family for future addition to family ;) been trying to refrain myself to add or buy anything new to my tank but i did add cleaner fish last month which i think its ok since the fish not cost the bomb.

So what next? maybe slowly shopping for newborn instead of aquarium equipment and LS. Till then i'll continue with my usual thing with my tank and hope will not spend too much on this tank thing!

Fuuhhh ... i'm lucky cause i was slept nearby my aquarium, just jangan pikir aku kena halau dengan bini heheeh ... So i call it lucky cause i cant sleep because of sudden loud noise from skimmer pump.Sound like water level in sump not high enough... u know... the splashing sound and that familiar sound only happen during i doing the water change... Arrghhh!! must be something wrong ... just like that terus wakeup and check.Damn it its just 4am!

So the problem was related to filter sock that i'm currently use. I should change it by today, i really dun expect it to clog that fast! I just change it yesterday! This really need to rework so the upper level of the sock inside the sump. So in case of the same situation it will not flood my house.

To add another disaster, auto top off water keep filling the loss water, after a while its run dry and the pump kaput because of overheat. I'm not really concern bout the pump but since aquarium water is a free flow to my house and ATO is adding more water, this actually lower my salinity! Just hope LS doing fine with that ... wait for me :D

Anyway i'm also lucky to have my standby saltwater in hand. So i can quickly adding to my aquarium, now its left only to correct salinity level. Since adding more salt directly to aquarium is not a good thing, i think it time for water change.

So today both of my daughter agaknya mimpi berenang dalam laut. They are closer to tank and cool je tidur dalam air .. apadaa... kesian.. and i have alot of thing need to wash .. from carpet .. langsir, selimut in short everything in that area ... just lucky i can work from home ;) and not so lucky its a rainy day..

Been lazy to take picture of the tank since the camera always take a blue pic even already set the white balance. Since the bulb is almost expired, so i'm taking this opportunity to change a blue bulb to a white. Tadaaa .. now its easier dun have to susah payah setting the white balance, the auto will do already. But too bad the tank is not so nice and algae all over the glass. Anyway its ok i think, the schedule maintenance just around the corner. ;)

Anyway, the reading for important thing like NO3, Ammonia and PO4 all undetected (Sera test kits)

Anak sedara baru! yeah! ... my sister's first born child. Little cute girl always smile ;)
