Jacky wow... that is one huge nudi......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Btw,.. and TO GO BACK TO THE TOPIC of Jack neo and his INDESCRETIONS.... do u know why in a quarrel no matter what it's the guy's fault? BECAUSE and I say this based on normal couples ah.. not when the woman is a diva, that one I can also slap slap..... is because everythng in the house the woman will do..everything we plan..everytime ask a man to do ANYTHING , the answer we get is : "LATER" or .. "BUSY" <-- and the busy is watching TV or playing dunno what computer game... SO HOR.. anything goes wrong... OF COURSE we blame the guy la..... Desi pls don't flame me.. lol

GET MORE WRASSES? lol hahahaahahh... oh dear... I wanted a linetus wrasse from Reborn's Aussie shipment but they informed me that this round won't have, .. I guess i'd look out for another Flame wrasse since my last one was a complete failure.. haiz... I wonder whether Ah Beng's one still there.. but I hesistate to put in since my rhomboid has only been in about 2 weeks.. or should I just cheongz.. HHMM!!!! I got car this weekend so I can go LFS hunting... hee hee hee... thanks Lemon for the assurance, I feel much better. Have a good trip to India.. have fun, I think you will have over dose of masala. Desi

erm.. not really but it tends to break up to chunks when the tangs cheong at it.. so.. hhmm i'm trying to think of what holder to use.. this weekend I will try a heavy bowl and see whether the fish will bother going to it in the sand. then again where there is food, there the fish will be. will update you guys on the progress of this on going experiment with new food! Desi

My rics have opened up slightly better than before so here's some pics too.. hopefully better taken.. Hand not steady.. Desi

Also, I notice that my black osci is tentatively checking out the bubble.. hee hee... Here's a pic of my cauliflower...growing well surprisingly although I read it's difficult to keep but them again.. I may never know... this anthias is turning full male.. Desi

Hey hey.. today I struggled with ketchup's heavy nikon D90 and managed to get the following shots of my laboutie... SO ... WHAT do you think? anything I should be concerned with? Btw, I do know of the torn tail.. it's recovering already.... and I have a feeling I know which fish is the culprit.. The side which is ok to me The side which I noticed yesterday was the "smears" but it seems to be allot less today.. perhaps you are right lemon.. Do you see the white bits? THe suspected culprit of the fin attack! desi

ahhaah do you realise that now, the off topic for this thread is talking about reefing rather than NOT talking about reefing.. lol WEH EHEH I change the ### to silly things... although the original word was the "C" in the TCSS ... lol Desi

I saw pics of the cauliflower like growths.. so no.. it wasn't "put there". LOL It's like Smeared.. flat on the body and fins.. like taking some white liquid and smearing it on a piece of paper until it's translucent... LOL anyway, I will try my best to get a clear pic of the fish ... Hopefully it swims on the correct side so that I can snap at it otherwise I GG... been feeding garlic guard, and last night threw in some Dr Basseler's forte pellets too... ARUGH!!!! Desi

it doesn't look slimey .. it just looks like a dry patch... at least I hope it isn't slimey.. the thing is, I see 1 or 2 patches on it's fins too.. ONE SIDE only .. the other side seems completely unaffected. I can't tell whether the patches are moving with the waves. it just looks THERE Lor.. HAHAH how to SAY?! Anyway, I will try to get a decent picture of it.. guess I have to charge up Ketchup's NIkon D90 since all my small digital cams are not with me! Thank you lemon for your valuable input. I appreciate that you have slightly settled my anxiety.. although i'm still worried. I PRAY HARD it's not brookynella or some other bacteria infestation.... dear lord , PLEASE no! Desi

pls talk more silly things leh.. I need some hilarity @ work... Desi

I read the last 6 pages of this topic and seriously Funny man.. I'm giggling @ work.... more like Honey Hor Seh liow..... as in the words of Invanka trump : Don't get Mad, Get EVERYTHING. Desi.

hee hee thanks for the suggestions, I think i'd try the heavy bowl this weekend and observe. Last night spent like 1.5 hours tinkering with the food and the tank... and I just noticed something with my laboutie wrasse. I don't have a picture but I only noticed last night that one side of him seem to have spots.. not distinct white spots but like.. shades of white.. I don't know how to describe it. One side of the fish is fine, but the other side of the wrasse looks like as though I put a white dot and then smeared it and it's scattered all over one side of his body. I look at my fish everyday and I am VERY SURE that on Sunday during feeding etc, his body didn't have any of these "smears". It only appeared to my notice yesterday evening. Has anyone had any experience in this? I doubt it's white spot as white spot is very very obvious ( I kena many times on my old tangs so I know how it looks like) but this is something new to me.... getting a little worried. THe laboutie is stil cheonging for all the food I put in, and swimming around chasing the anthias... so I don't know. He did jump out of the water a little when I was feeding so I thought it was air bubbles but then after a while the air bubbles or dirt on his body should "fall off" right? Checked this morning and I can still see the "smears" at an angle.. if I shine a torch at him, I can't see it. Desi

I think i'd have to DIY using egg crate or those wire mesh to make a tray to hold the grazing block. LOL I"d try it out when I have the time to make one. for now I will save the grazing blocks.. or hhmm.. just got an idea when u talk about trays.. maybe... I get those small kitchen seaves and put it in it. HHMM!!!! peter, u gimme ideas! Desi.

u can do it wilson! love your rics. Desi

Hi all, here's a quick review after feeding my fishes with the new product I bought : Instant Ocean @ Serangoon North CC fish exhibition over the weekend. Here's what I got. They do not need refrigeration so I store them in the same cupboard with all the rest of my dry goods. I had fed them some of the marine blend. One sachet = one serving ( about SGD1 per sachet) but because I had already fed other food, I only squeezed out half to feed them. it looks quite disgusting but its gel based so you can either squeeze it out directly into the water or what I did was put it into a small bowl , mush it with the water and throw in bit by bit into the tank. THe fishes all cheonged for it ... After awhile, I thought I"d give the Grazing block a try. Each packet comes with 3 blocks and after peeling the foil, it looks like this According to the instructions, it says : "place food on top of tank decorations for natural feeding behaviour". HOwever this is where I found problems with this food. after I found what I thought what was a suitable place to SKEWER the Gel block to.. cause there wasn't any suitable area where I could place it or sandwich it in.... this is how it looks like :- The round thingy which the yellow wrasse and rhomboid is attacking is the food. At first things looked ok... but problems set in when the more they peck it, the more it began to disintegrate. And worse, when the blue tang and yellow tang attacked it, big chunks ended up breaking up and landing on the sand and the whole thing got dislodged and started to tumble with the blue tang still pecking at it! I am aware that this amount is meant to be put in the tank for the whole day but i realise that without a proper holder, the food will end up falling on the sand in chunks and will get wasted. So perhaps what we'd have to look out for is some of those fake plastic corals which form like a "cup" to hold the gel like food so that it doesn't fall off. However with big fish like the tangs attacking it... It would probably get ripped to shreds in no TIME... so it kinda defeats the purpose of being a source of food for the entire day... Maybe other reefers who try this food can give feedback but this is my first time trying out the grazing block and I feel that at the end of the day.. unless I can get a proper holder, i'd have to cut it up into probably quarters and feed it to the fish after mushing it up in a seperate bowl. It is therefore no different from the single gel packs. The grazing blocks are also not cheap being about SGD4-5 per block ( 1 packet has 3 blocks) .. and that's AFTER a 10% (?? can't remember) discount at the fair.. if my memory serves me right! Perhaps in the future when I think or find out better ways to use the grazing block, for the moment, I think the single gel packs are more worth the money. Cheers, Desi
