i would forget about the calcuim reactor for now until you decide to for sps.so take it back and get something you need more urgently.
well judging from your pics etc theres two things i recommend you upgrade

1.get a nice big powerful skimmer,rated for double your tank volume(post model etc here before you buy it;))

2.add 2 x t5 "PURE actinic tubes" to give your corals and tank more colour.not the 20000k ones those are NOT PURE actinic.
 
Can anyone give some suggestion if i modify my calcium reactor to NO3 reactor as picture below possible?

lets wait for the others here,ive never used a no3 reactor ever as i feel dsb is enough and needs no maintanance unlike the reactor which uses sulphur beads that perish....

so i cant comment on the design of the no3 reactor sorry.
 
The BIT i know about NO3 reactors leads me to believe they are not worth the money (so with Falcon on this) as there are other less expensive ways to do the same job.

So rather look at other important toys ie skimmer, lights, flow devices, Top up units etc etc..lots of cool toys which I also feel could be a better investment
 
Just add some new member to the tank. Button and ????

i agree with franssny and jasquesb.

but to avoid confusion dont call the second one a mushroom coral!

pin-cushion or sarcophyton would be the most suitable names;)

and no normally zoanthids dont loose the color difference but the degree of colour may change according to tank conditions.

would that be some sort of leather? i have something similer in my tank too
 
Yip, pin cushion (sarcophyton) is a type of leather coral.
 
New position of the corals, as you can see, the Goniopora is moved far apart from the hammer. 2 weeks ago, i caught the hammer tasticles attacking the Goniopora. Even now far apart, the hammer tasticle keep extenting longger and longer, why?

Below my Goniopora, it seems getting bigger and bigger, i wonder it will attack other corals?

wongdavidch, very well done on keeping the goniopora healthy :thumbup:
as for the hammer they can extend their sweeper tentacles very far in order to feed,if you are target feeding the goniopora that may be why it is heading towards that side, best is to move it quite far away from the other corals

BTW I think you meant tentacles & not testicles (two really different things) ;)

Thanks Fransny, typing mistakes.
 
Yes - it is fighting with the softy on the right. It already burned the cup at the bottom. Move them further apart, or you will loose the cup and the hammer & softy will continue to fight.
