Looking at the photos I realize how it was great work.
It was very nice and in my humble opinion kept the original features of your Reef.
A hug and good luck in this year of the snake that requires calm, cunning and planning.

Chingchai,
When you cleaned up your tank did you purchase and use new sand or simply wash the old sand and re-use it? I don't see any mention of changing the substrate.

Tactics. Thanks.
I did lose four fishes during the move. They jumped out.
Those two interrutas have been moved to our club's tank. They love to nip my LPS.

My dream fish. But too expensive and too difficult to keep.
So I don't think I will have this fish.

Guys. Thank you so much for your kind words.
It definitely is the hard work to do this renovation.
But it really makes me feel much better and relax.
What a never ending hobby. Right?

Sorry I forgot to mention this.
I change the new sand to Caribsea Fiji pink live sand.

I let the guy who make this tank polish it.
They use sandpaper and some kind of powder.
You may have to ask acrylic tank maker in your local area.
If you can't find it out, do let me know.

Hi Chingchai,

Any problems with AEFW?. I recall you had them in your reef tank at one time.

What phos level do you like to run at and do you run Rowaphos?….
Still using Prodibio?.

Thanks
Mo
