Man! The colours are popping out!

Cool! This mode seems to bring out the colours... gonna take another full tank shot tomorrow! Here's my extremely purple encrusting montipora.... It's next to my birds nest coral that's finally turning pink after a few months.

We'll see about that!

Huh? That was so long ago... I sold off my 150w x 2.... and DIY my own light rail with 4 x 400w MH!

It's been in the market for some time already. I have a manual version of that!

Another view... pardon the threads on the glass!

Another nassarius snail species' egg sacs. Much smaller in size. My front glass has more than 16 seperate eggs sacs on it... i destroyed a few with my cleaning magnet.

Aha! Spotted eggs sacs! Could only be the nassarius snails!

Here's my purple branched acro with orangy yellow body.

Hey, this mode is fun! Here's a whitish acro with lavender polyps.

You don't have to double post... this is a small forum... we'll find it easily.

Closeup.

Hon, as requested... the pix of my latest acquisition... two table acros.

hmmm... here's a test shot... with flash... shot appears even more grainy. Now my Chocolate Mimic Tang looks more like himself without the radium induced blue!

You have seen my lighting rail. All my current pix are shot only with the Radium/Ushio blue MHs on. The rail was pushed into the middle of the tank, so naturally, less light falls on the darker areas of near the front glass. Guess the best photo will be possible when all four bulbs are on.. but the sakis at the back will be immensely bright... like your first pix taken by you in this thread... washed out... how to balance off?

Yeah... it's massively underexposed... coz the centre acro table is reflecting too much white light, you can't really see it once I bring up the contrast.

You have to ask Morgan that. He takes sea cucumbers and sprays his students with their guts underwater.... extremely sticky and difficult to remove from wetsuits... not something that I would recommend or encourage.

Taken from http://saltaquarium.about.com. Diet & Feeding Angels are considered to be omnivores, but most are largely herbivorous. They are nibblers and grazers feeding on a variety of small crustaceans, micro and macro algae, some filamentous algae, diatoms, and many are sponge feeders. Some species live on sponges as their sole source of food and may starve in captivity. If you are interested in keeping a sole sponge eating species, it is wise to wait for a larger juvenile or sub-adult specimen. In most cases they adapt to tank feed foods more readily then very small juveniles or large adults. You can raise them on a tank fed diet, combined with any of the many frozen Angelfish fares that are now available on the market that include edible sponge in them to supplement their diets. This way the fish is not dependent on sponge as their sole food source. Most Angelfish adapt well to eating tank fed foods such as Spirulina, marine algae, nori, mysid shrimp, finely chopped crustacean meat, frozen preparations for herbivores, other high quality meaty fare, as well as vitamin-enriched, color enhanced flake foods. Most species have a tendency to nip at large-polyped stony corals, zoanthids, and tridacnid clam mantles. Some also may eat soft coral polyps, or pick at other sessile invertebrates. With these characteristic traits, Angelfishes do not make a good addition to a reef tank, as they cannot be completely trusted. Even in a fish-only tank, Angelfishes should only be introduced into a well established aquarium with plenty of plant life and live rock to graze on, since marine algae and other diatoms are one of their main sources of food. This also stimulates their feeding instincts and many species will adjust to eating tank fed foods much better. Most Dwarf or Pygmy (Centropyge) Angels fair much better in tank life than their larger relatives. They are touted as being a fairly good reef safe Angelfish species, but like with ANY Angelfish, they cannot be completely trusted. In our opinion, Angelfish are not a good choice for beginners, or for placing in a newly started aquarium! If you have a well established aquarium and at least 6 months experience with saltwater aquarium keeping, refer to our rating charts link below to see which species are best kept by an experienced aquarist. The charts are grouped by small, medium, and large species, and coded as good starters and ones that should be avoided.

You guys better go take lessons quick or your practical OW dives won't be very enjoyable at all. 1. Choppy waters = seasickness = spoilt the dive 2. Stronger currents = dangerous to newbie divers 3. Murkier waters = see nothing 4. Dark clouds = blocked sun = reduced visibility Upside: higher chance to see migrating pelagics like manta rays and whale sharks!

I wish I can tell my wife to scrap my coralline algae growth every week, but she's much too smart now... I am happy enough as it is that she allows me to spend so much time and money on my reef tank! So I guess I can't shove this manual labour task to anyone except.... to those who want free coralline algae!!

Both.

Theoratically, a tank of any colour, material and shape should be able to be placed in a reef tank, as long as it smaller and will not cause any obstruction or damage to the inhabitants of the reef tank. If you are referring to a Blue Tang instead... yeah... they do well in reef tanks.

JB to KL by AirAsia $20... KL to K. Terengganu est $15? WOW!!! I'll go to Perhentian/Redang for my dives more often man! No more Tioman for me! No more frozen, sleep impossible, ######-numbing bus rides, yippee!!! Sorry Nleong for hijacking your thread!!! I'll move this out to a new thread!

20% should be less stressful than 30%, and your LS will adapt faster. IMO, smaller percentage but regular changes is less stressful than larger percentage changes done after a longer time.

Is there a direct flight to Terrenganu itself?
