Hi guys, my first proper post here in the forum. Sharing a couple of pictures of my reef tank. Apologies for some of the blur pictures (they were shot with my handphone and a yellow filter, hence the over saturated colours in some pictures).

Thanks!

Excellent colors. I think I need to get a yellow filter for my phone/camera. Can you give anymore info on your system?

Thanks! Sure :) I'll upload more photos in a bit.

Equipment list
Return pump: Jebao DC12000
Wavemakers: 2 x WP10, 1 x WP25, 1 x RW4, 1 x RW15
Lights: 8 x 39w ATI Sunpower dimmable, running on 5 blue plus, 2 coral plus, and 1 purple plus. I've added a 27 x 3w, 450nm LED light bar too.
Skimmer: Skimz SM161
Filter media: 1 x MarinePure block (8" x 4" x 4"), 10 litres of sera siporax and 1 litre of bacteria king
Reactors: TLF phosban 150 reactor running Rowaphos, Skimz RR113 running all-in-one biopellets
Calcium reactor: Reef Octopus CR-100, with a solenoid valve controlled by a Weipro pH controller
Chiller: Hailea HS90a

Fishes/ excluding sessile invertebrates
9 blue chromis
4 blue eyed anthias
4 dispar anthias
4 banggai cardinals
2 green mandarins (feeding on mysis shrimps and a variety of pellets)
2 spotted mandarins (feeding on mysis shrimps and a variety of pellets)
1 leopard wrasse
1 magnificent foxface
1 black ice clown (I'm intending to add another, but I'm still waiting to come across a nice specimen)
4 astrea snails
2 abalone
1 trochus snail
1 tiger tail sea cucumber
A whole army of stomatella snails

The skimmer cup has to be cleared every 2-3 days. 10% water changes are performed once a week. I used to use Red Sea Coral Pro but I've recently switched to Tropic Marin Pro Reef.
Additives/ food wise, I feed a 3 cubes of hikari frozen mysis, some NYOS gold pods, nannochloropsis phytoplankton, cyclopeeze, a mix of blended seafood, and a mix of Ocean nutrition formula one + two pellets, TDO pellets, NLS finicky fish pellets, and NYOS Goji pellets daily.
Occasionally, I'll feed fish eggs from the market, fortify food with selcon, and feed my corals with Red Sea's Reef Energy A + B, reef roids, Reef nutrition's oyster feast, Zeovit's coral vitaliser, and Coral frenzy.

Parameters
Salinity: 1.026
Ca (Salifert): 440ppm (fluctuates a little)
Mg (Salifert): 1260ppm
dKH (NYOS): 7
NO3 (NYOS): 3ppm
PO4 (NYOS): probably between 0.025 to 0.050. It's a little hard to read.

More pictures will be added soon! :)

Where are you finding Cyclopeeze?! That stuff has become pretty scarce here in the U.S.A.

I had a hard time finding it too in Singapore. Only managed to get hold of some through a tip off by a friend. The shop I bought it from no longer has any stock left though. Will have to find a substitute once I'm done with what I currently have :/

I've been using Calanus and freshwater Cyclops (in rotation with a number of other things...) The fish seem to enjoy the tiny bites as a change of pace, especially the anthias.

I have not tried feeding freshwater Cyclops to my fishes. Is there a specific brand I should be looking out for? Thanks!

The ones I've been using are called "H2O Life". Stumbled across them one day in a reef shop, and thought they looked interesting, lol.

Clams!

Maxima:

Noae (?) (This clam came through a shipment from Australia, has 7 ridges/ribs, eyes are scattered unlike maximas, and the mantle is riddled with papillae/ bumps):
