desideria

the red gornio at GO is going for about 10 red notes... but I'm not sure whether that price is dependent on size...

comycus.. you already have the same at home.. Next time when you finaly upgrade.. bring your IQ5 to OFFICE LOR.

thanks tuni for the heads up... I shall take note.. well unfortunately I have left it on.. I"d see how it goes on MOnday. This weekend will be the litmus test for my little pico and see how it fares when I come back to office on Monday morning. Or what i"d do in the future is on the pump monday to friday and off on weekends.. hahah My desk has no sun as i'm smack in the middle of the office not near any window or anything and the office is very big and open so ventilation no issue. Hey Larry,.. I thought of sexy shrimps.. lol what do they eat? I'm thinking of adding a purple firefish and .. well that's it.. unless I can find a nice feeding clown goby to throw in... Otherwise I wont add any other fish.

sometimes I wash with tap water..and sometimes.. ah heck la.. just dip in and take out stuff.. or clean glass. As long as I know before hand I didn't put any moisturising cream or make up or any chemicals on my hands ( although I do know we secrete oils!)... I just dip.. so far.. no casualty,,,or I THINK NO casualty!

I"d let the mystery reefer reveal himself when the time comes... LOL Yeah Iskay I know supersuns needs lots of feeding.. had them before. That's why I would like to add to my pico but that means MORE WC!!! ... anyway since theres none available... then forget it la... anyway I want this tank to be as fuss free as possible since all my time is on my 4 footer ...office tank shouldn't take too much time except for the STARING.. HAHAHA

I just got the hammer last night... from GO.. Fragged it and took 2 heads to office.. hope it settles over the weekend and next monday when I come back... it will be as right as rain. I really hope I don't come back to a cloudy tank.. it would be sadness personified...yeah trying to find a super sun but nowadays super suns are hard to find.. oh well... I plan to do Regular WC every monday .. because I do WC for my 4 footer every sat/sun.. so on monday morn i'd take like 1L from my main tank and change water... . hah

Hello guys, this is the first time I'm trying a Marine PICO tank.. and in office.. SO within 2-3 days of getting my boss's permission of putting in a tank ( he knows i am fishy mad), I got myself a Dymax IQ5 13L acrylic tank setup from PetMart in Sereangoon. I bought live sand and threw in ( although I know it's overkill) a capsule of Prodibiodigest mixed it around. As I have a ready supply of salt water from my 4 footer, I just mixed water from there as well as ready made RO/DI water with salt, and bought a small rock from RB and voila.. I'm up and running my tiny tank! I decided to add in a Tunze Universal Mini Pump to give a bit more current as the output is simply not enough in my personal opinion. At least I can see my corals waving a little rather than still all the time. The temp in my office for my tank is quite low.. about 24 to 25 degrees. I assume that on weekends it will go up to at most 26-27 degrees in the tank. So.. it ain't so bad. Here's some pic as of Day 5. LOL

Thanks peeps.. but the thing is SPS is just to try... not sure whether I can maintain the colors as my tank is predominantly FISHES and LPS so I feed... VERY VERY often. High nutrient water.. So if the SPS survive.... I will be as happy as pigs in the mud.... anyway Terryz, that day @ RB got for my Pico Tank a small rock, small strawberry cauliflower and Comycus gave me a small part of his zoos that he bought. Here is a pic of my IQ5 at office. BOss gave approval for a mini tank. I just threw in a NArsi snail and purple fusion zoos in the front.. haven't open yet.. hahaha

MOre pics.. Ketchup takes allot nicer pics than me..

WOW 3 ATS.... UPz for your sales.. rare to find a PAIR and 3 together!! WOW! I hope all 3 go to a good tank.

U want to come to my place for Wii? COME LA... wah I just realise... my pico tank in office will have no husbandry for 4 days... hhmm ok better not put any fish into it until AFTER chinese new year. HAHAHAH...... thanks for the rainbow monti cedric.. see la go your place.. $$$ kena osmosis-ed out from me to you.. WHY WHY WHY... and to think I was telling ketchup in the lift on the way to your place... " I SEE ONLY"...... haiz

Cedric... why you so like that ah.. why you so like that!!!! I see but I must not buy......

niicceeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

I saw a couple of small Yellow tangs @ Reef Depot on Saturday..

very very neat and nice... Just be careful about the plugs and sockets that's above your sump.. wouldn't want those to fall in. Do keep up with the updates of this tank.. looks AWESOME! Very good idea about having a pipe leading out for Fuss free water change... you've given me ideas for my next tank setup too.

wow upz for your sale... I would love to have the BLack Tang.. but I just got my AT a month ago.... so I'm scared to add in another Tang although this BT is bigger than the AT..... still...sigh..... hope you find a good home for your Black Knight!!!

zomg PBT, BT, YT, AT, PT... ZOMG.. and if you get the AT mating on vid.. now that's REALLY REEF P 0 Rn.

tap water has chlorine and other heavy metals in it... you can't simply use tap water and mix in salt.. you have to use distilled water or make your own RO/DI water to make your salt water. You can find RO/DI units from the LFSes or from a fellow forumner here Gary.. you can see pics of his DIY RO/DI unit in the Marine products review section. And even if you get your tank and setup from a fellow reefer, after tearing down and resetting up, you STILL Need to cycle your tank for at least 1-2 weeks or MORE depending on your volume, your parameters ( which you have to check constantly) and whether or not you add in bacteria to kick start the nitrifying processes to ensure you have enough bacteria to convert ammonia to nitrite and to nitrate. If you have dead corals, just chuck it. Good luck

Jack.... amazing.. your photos are superb .... and that's cause you have SUPERB corals to boot!!!! :welldone: I bow to your greatness!

LOL the one the clown fish is in the pinky one is a RBTA.... the torch is the one on the sand next to the zoos.

WOW CLEE WOW!!!! I see the AT!!! I LIKE I LIKE I LIKE!!!! PBt too!1 wooowwwwwwwwwwwwww... i ssooo like...

WHY WHY not enough moola.. WHY WHY WHY.....

my AT currently loves the 3 little fishes Green Nori. The At, BT, YT and even wrasses all eat the Green Nori by 3 little fishes! LOL
