desideria

Choa Chu Kang - 96 ppm Jurong West - 165 ppm Clementi - 125 ppm Bishan - 112 ppm Bukit Panjang - 92 ppm Tampines - 111ppm AMK ave 9 - 77ppm But I find it odd that tonight my tap water went below 80, cause there are times I test it and it's 89ppm... Desi

Absolutely colorful!!!! I just LOVE the rainbow of colors.. ESEPCIALLY The wrasses!! You have some REALLY REALLY.. and I mean.. REALLY pretty fishys!!!! *sighs!* Thank you for sharing. Desi

Good luck to your new fishys!!! Your algae blenny must be having a ball of a time munching off all the algae in your tank. hee hee hee... eh take pictures of the full frontal view of your tank la... Sit on your stool and take nice nice pics of the entire view. Desi.

We noticed there are some... we thought are eggs on the glass today...... any idea what they could be? I found another bunch the other side at the other side but I wiped them off... I thought they are snail's eggs.. but are they? Some pics ketchup took today! The SUPER SUNNIES The Sea pig yaya-ing near the elegance. THe Rics at the back of the tank. THe new lobo under atinics.

Yup I forgot to ADD : I tried seaweed already.... MANY TIMES.. even the seaweed FLAKES.. I added it in my daily feeding ritual of frozen food mixed with garlic guard.. and did it eat? not a shred.... oh well.... I tried!

Thanks Jacky for collecting the filter socks and for peter to organise the mass buy.. I have installed them in the tank and attached one to the overflow output ( removed all the sponge from there.. the box looks incredibly empty now!) and another one to the output of my skimmer. Day 2 and the overflow one is already getting slightly brown... Cheers, Desi

Been a bit since we updated... well the PBRT is still alive and swimming ... now in the sump.. Haiz... the odd thing is that now our entire tank is having an Itch outbreak ( the tangs and wrasses all have it) except for the anthias, clown fishes AND ironically.. the POwder brown which has not eaten the past 15 days.... this is a pic of it in the sump.. today was my last last last attempt to make it eat by buying the green grape algae.. and yet.. not even a nibble... So.. officialy now I have tried, brine, mysis, pellets ( form 1 and 2 ocean nutrition, Dr Basselers forte and grotech), flakes ( Dr basslers ANd Form 2 spirulina flakes), Live Brine shrimp, henry's gourmet , own own fish blend, red bamboo... Here's pics of the yumas we got from Irwarna.. they are rather small... PIcs of the 2 ( yes only 2!)RICS we got from GO.... I don't think I posted these... the extreme left is the orange one from their recent shipment and the middle blue/turqoise one from their older shipment Zoos we got from Irwarna : And here's a pic of the birdnest we got from Ming under atinics... I think the previous pic was under MH. holding back buying anymore livestock until the tank stabalizes.... just did about 100-120L waterchange today and dosed all the bacteria etc. Been turning on the UV 24/7 the past 3 days but turned it off after the bacteria went in.. will turn it back on again tomorrow night before bed... A special thanks to Cedric for letting me, Ketchup and Justin invade your place to go GAGA at your legendary setup.. correction.. SETUPS.... indeed.. WOW.. Cheers, Desi.

CHeongz UPGRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Desi

WAH LIOW.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /faint.... but then again.. siangz took the words right outa my mouth.... sorta.. desi

Zomg Ah Siang.. ZOMG..... the mental image in my mind is BAD...

Jacky, we must get justin to post his positions on twitter, then he can announce whenever he go irwarna... then we can "follow" and ask him to check out livestock for us.. hee hee hee Cheers, Desi

what a lovely story.. We like grandma grandpa stories.. giving peeps a background of one's reefing history with such ancedotes like the chromis < White angler < red angler is though sad but dare I say it .. morbidly funny.... Hope you will always enjoy reefing.... we all go through some drama ( I'm currently going through one RIGHT NOW) so yeah ups and downs.. perservere and reef on! Cheers Desi

Hey!! your snails look like my slug that's in my wavemaker!!!! I was wondering whether I should have removed it by using a tooth pick but ah heck la.. leave it.... desi

I have yet to do the deed of putting him down.... he is still swimming a bit.. have gone to a corner at the back near the overflow side from the opposite side of the tank where he was at for the last 3-4 days..It is a quiet corner surrounded by rocks... even he dies there, I'd be able to fish out the body.. and sometimes i feel as though he is at the VERGE of pecking at the algae growing on the overflow glass.. but ... disappoinment. Even if we transfer him to the sump.... I doubt it will help much. Just stressing him out again my netting him.. if I am gonna net him it's going to be straight to the ice pail. On one hand i want to euthanise him to put him out of his misery ( if I am percieving it right)... on the other hand.. WHAT IF... WHAT IF.....It is Day 12 and nothing... HOW long can a fish survive without food?! What should be my breaking point... haiz... the ever unanswerable question... ARUGH!!! Venting.. venting..... Desi

I used up one whole lot yesterday when changing my purigen.. however I think I have enough to fit your requirements, remind me on thursday to bring it for our Friday meet up. Desi.

I am thinking of euthanising the fish tonight if I go home and I see him on the sand bed and barely alive... cause last night and this morning he was swimming but in a slightly "slanted" manner near the sand bed... if this evening, I see just as bad or even worse, i'd try to fish him out and plonk him in a pail of ice to end his misery. I see also I just want to bang my head against the glass. thanks for the words of encouragement and advice. Desi

nniccceee ... everytime I see carpet, I go... aaahhhhhh..... ) nice tank. happy fishys and corals in there. Desi

heeeyy mit, your wrassey affairs is so simillar to mine too.. nniiicceeeeeeee... your wall mount tank means they probably have a nice deep tank to swim in. coolness. looking good. Cheers Desi

very sad.. The PBRT really looks bad.. the head and body seems to have leisons and it's totally not eating anything.. Day 10 and the stomach is sunken in already. I turned off everything, threw in 2 mysis cubes and some henry's food mixed with garlic guard etc... and the food fell around him but he didn't even touch it. I am thinking of removing him but I think if I move him to the sump and if I try to catch him with a net he may get even more stressed.. but leaving him in there, the fish don't really disturb him except the occasional chase by the PBT and YT... there's nothing more we can do I suppose.. I personally give him another 24-48 hours tops. sigh... sad... Desi

Just put it in on sunday.. and only 1 frag to try .. we won't be going full into SPS until we manage to get my nitrates under control... anyway more of a LPS fishy tank so there won't be much SPS. Crafts, I don't want carpet because firstly, I don't see anymore space on the sand to put it! AND .. most importantly of all, I don't want my expensive fish to become an expensive meal... LOL.... Desi

eh quick post leh.... Ketchup's fav fish PBT.. and if this is a killer look PBT, I anticpate some drooling once you have posted the pic. QUICCCCKK!! Desi

I know.. everytime my hamsters don't eat, I know got problem liow.. but hamsters still got VET and I can give them TLC.. FISH.. HOW?! Can't even hold the fish and force feed it with a syringe... alamak as I type this... the song : Last flight out plays on my itunes... EMO!!! can't wait till evening, cheong home and check... Even bought red bamboo algae for him to eat thinking more natural than mysis, pellets, flakes, henry's gourmet and even seaweed... but.. NOTHING. Desi

I cheonged down to RB after my medical appointment to check them out.... elvin say anytime I can view, he'd reserve. But I don't want them to reserve and miss out on any sale if end up the RARE occassion that I wouldn't want the fishy.. LOL ... so far that hasn't happened. now, we're just waiting for our powder brown to EAT.... this morning wake up, I see him swimming in the top part of the tank... didn't hide at all the whole night.. maybe beta box in there 3 nights all on the top part of the tank.. he used to it.... haiz... his stomach now looks slightly sunkened in liow.. it's DAY 10 today .. and .. heaven knows ( cue in Rick price..) desi

NICE LIGHTS!!! rockscape very good too.. i see many a crevice and corner for the fishys to swim in. I had a bare bottom tank for my little 2 feet and I had a very hard time cleaning it as there are certain parts that one simply can't reach! I hope you have better luck in having a bare bottom tank. Cheers, Desi

Just edited the post as I had put the lobo pic again with the blasto pic instead.. oopsy.. No la Justin, TRYING one piece of birdnest niah.. TRY TRY.. Desi.
