My clams...

White pulsing xenia... becoming a real pest and a danger to my SPS corals.

My favourite 'softy' in the tank... Green Star Polyps.

Are you having a DSB in your tank for NNR?

Photobehavior of stony corals: responses to light spectra and intensity SPS keepers... interesting article for you.

Still.. it's a joy to watch it again!

Yup, I work at home now. I take frequent breaks in front of my tank.. and you guessed it... the rushing excited fishes know its "meal time!!"

Rachel's quite cute and doesn't come across as too bimbotic. Some of the guys are quite himbotic.

Yup... that was how it was done.

Another blown up view.

Some pix that didn't make it onto the Reef Central TOTM story due to space constraints. *under Ushio blue MH only*

Thanks guys!

My sump tank is empty. No bioballs, biorings etc. Just maybe a polyfilter pad. Now that my contraphos/rowaphos phosphate removal media is fluidised and carbon too.. I don't need to put filter bags of it in the sump.

I'll take it!

Nah.. you won't miss us... you'll be in JAPAN!!!! KAWAI BABES!!! DOWN BOY!!!! Wahahaahhaah!!!

You don't want to know my personal experiences. No comment but Eheims are rock steady. Cheers, AT

Riot... that's farnie. I am not responsible for the nation-wide blackout that crippled America a few months ago... lol!! It's the SPS reefers over there!

Move house! that's farnie! Hmmm... if you have to live with a canister, you have to live with long term problems with nitrates. No two ways about.

I will have to adopt the same tone with you, Nicholas. You're not taking a hold of yourself. Please... control yourself. Your tank doesn't look at all stable and your constant rate of fish replenishment is a clear sign that something is wrong somewhere... and stop blaming it on your humbug damsel. You should stop now, take a break... READ UP on BASIC reefkeeping first. You don't even know what is a metal halide! You buy livestock and you don't even know what they need. Eg. Your seapen needs a deep sandbed to root itself in. A scattering of sand is also not going to provide enough food for your goldenhead/bluecheeked gobies. What brand of test kits are you using... and how often do you test your water parameters since you're stocking up so quickly within this short time. Your ammonia, nitrite levels may spike up and down, causing stress to your tank inhabitants. Can you try holding off buying any more fishes until your tank stabilizes? A reef tank should be a STABLE environment, providing conditions where its not just survivable for the inhabitants but GOOD. Do read up more and lock up your wallet (or your dad's). If you want to be respected as a reefkeeper, be responsible enough to accept good advice from your fellow hobbyists here in SRC. My 2 cents, AT

I can lend you a snorkel if you want! Gives a new meaning to the term 'wet dreams'. hahahahaa!!!

So sad about the Chinese National soccer player who got struck dead by lightning last month. At least he didn't suffer or feel anything.

Don't want to alarm you but its 15.5ft away from my window to the hall... and the rainwater droplets still manage to wet my partition door up to 6.5ft high. Never felt such a strong wind before!

Trivia: Singapore has one of the highest rate of lightning strikes in the world!

You're looking for them too? Only eAquarist has them right? I hope they have a tiny piece left!
