desideria

Ok.. ketchup wants me to post the following pics.. unforuantely the pics of our new rics came out blur.. but here's better pics of the gornios .. The Red Gornio Under blue and purple atinics Under MH : The pink alveo opening up The new anthias buddying up to the green wrasse. Both of them swim together around the tank <- The yellow wrasse brushing up against the new colony of super suns! <-- PEEK A BOO!!!! <-- a nice contrast of the bartlett Anthias vs foreground. Will take pics of the RIC plateau when I have more nice ones on it.. I am in lub with rics! Cheers Desi

no didn't glue as we have 2 other rics which were there already without any gluing and it stayed leh. And the other 2 blue ones are still there.. let me check...YUP it's Stil there.. hhmm I didn't know rics could float away. ARUGH.. cause the area we have our little plateau is not exposed to much current at all so it's rather gentle flow there...so I don't expect it to float.. haiz. $$$ down the tubes. oh well... Hopefully I'd see it someday.. somewhere.. out there..... (breaks into song).. BENEATH my M H, someone's looking for you... Desi, Happy CNY AND VALENTINES DAY!!!! <-- forgot it's V DAY TOO! HAHAH

Justin, you become fish in my tank everyday I try to cheong home to feed you!!! It would be henry's food everyday! But hor, you have to compete with the SEa pig and the rest of the fishes hor. Cannot be shy shy ah. LOL My neighbour saw me at home by 615pm and he said : "WAH how come you home so early?" then I say : "Cheong home to feed fish lor!" Aiya, bought 3 rics but one of the rics this morning MIA-ed. REally don't know where it went. Put 3 on the designated RIc Plateau last night ( or this morning at 2am!) and today, 1 is missing.. only the 2 blue ones are left...the green one has disappeared. HAIZ. Don't know who is the culprit! Will take another vid soon since the tank livestock has changed since the last vid was taken. The Red gornio is opening up very nicely.. hee hee BTw Lemon lemon, next time, just call la if you see us, how many crazy reefer couples out there.. currently or as far as I know it's just Cherm & wife ( she has long hair), plus me ( Me short hair) and ketchup so you have a 50% probability of hitting the nail on the head. Cheers!! Desi.

Is that pink one a CARPET As well?! If it is, it is HUMUNGOUS!!!! WWWWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... aren't you afraid of it eating your fishys? LOL btw the small blue one is also a beaut. Desi

Hey guys ketchup and I are at lavender food mart waiting for reborn to open. Was there 15 mins ago and tried walking in from the back but their doors still closed. Hope they will be back soon cheers desi

HEre are some pics we took of our new corals.. The ELEGANCE THe Purple Gornio THe red Gornio Both Gornios and elegence are after feeding so slightly retracted. And here is our greedy pig of a Tang eating a big vegie drop. LOL AIMING FOR IT and then........... CHEONGZ AH!! hee hee hee hee.. Happy eve of EVE of CNY. Desi & Ketchup

I love your RICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )))) Desi

Lemon, I love your corals, love your fishes.. AIM TARGET.. CHEONGZ! Your powder blue seems to be doing well in your tank! * envy* ! btw u feed your elegence with market prawns once a week I presume? Desi

yeah the elegence is mid sized.. very nice I have to say.. hope everything opens up tonight then take nice pics. Last night the elegence already opened up and with the purple atinics on, it looks really COOL. :Pahahah when ketchup and I were there we were picking corals that another reefer had already had his eye on but we didn't know, just that we told Shan to pack it for us before he decided to take or not... hahaah he say we help him save money by taking it since we actioned first! to that reefer bro if he sees this, *apologies!* hahahah next time tell us then you can help US save money too!! Cheers, Desi

WOW!!! Ketchup let me see this thread and i'm thoroughly impressed.. Fuel!!! now i know where to get fishes from!!!! Desi

YUP YUP YUP!!! I am designating a super sunny hill in our tank.. Were you there as well? Desi

LOL Peter... if only.. if only.. I had money falling out of my ears.. then the scenario of my chiller problem would have been : problem? OK 2 HP condenser lai! unforuantely.. no such luck.. my luck seems to be in all the wrong areas.. my skimmer STILL NOT here.. HAIZ!!! shipment delay.. why always shipment delay.. ((( Desi

I went down to reborn during lunch today and saw that they had quite a number of Mandrins.. Also went to LCK over the weekend and they had TONS Of super sunnies in their tanks... really lovely pieces.. bought 1 myself. Cheers Desi

It's only 3 inches and it's SO FIERCE?! WAH BIANGZ eh.... then I guess Ketchup would have to kiss goodbye his powder blue... until the NEXT tank .. hopefully...upgrade in a couple of years time....... and next time, it will be condenser chiller to prevent ANY chiller problem.. Desi.

I think ketchup will be more than happy to accomodate to that detail.. Desi

WAH Lemon, you got yourself a Powder Blue!!!! And it's feeding! Well done! I hope it does well in your tank.... COngratz!!! Ketchup's dream fish. We are still crossing fingers and toes for our powder brown. haiz. Desi.

honestly, we dumped in 4 prawns and there was ZERO smell.... honestly.. even ketchup who would usually say that I'm insensitive could not smell anything ... so erm... THROW IN THE PRAWN! but yeah NEAT setup reaper. good on ya mate! Cheers Desi

AH siang. what you say reminds me of what Shan from GO us that some reefer's wife see the words Golden Octopus on Credit card and went down to the place to take a look and realise ooohhhh : Corals... He also told us sometimes reefers will tell him to tell them in front of their wives : special 50% discount for u. LOL Desi

hey all, thanks for the suggestions, I have tried the following - soaking mysis with garlic guard and then squirt a bit in... he swam right through the rain of mysis... - Dr Basseler's flakes also swim right by - Ocean nutrition Form 1 Pellets swim right by... - ignoring seaweed ( but didn't soak in garlic, will try that) - tried henry's gourmet Advantage but without garlic guard also dun wan so worried I will try again tonight when I get home with henry's gourmet with garlic guard... and pray.. the food seems to be disappearing but I NEVER se ehim eat.... WHERE could it have gone! Desi oh and btw, our red sez prizm skimmer has a media basket and I put in some filter media as well... also using hyposalinity treatment.. right now the SG is actually quite high as we mixed water from our DT with freshly made salt water so it's 1.024 but I intend to reduce to 1.017 or something and leave the Powder brown for 30 days... if it survives.... /sigh

you can try Seachem Purigen... I feed pellets and frozen food daily and my nitrates hover between 2.5 to 5ppm.

Here are some pics which ketchup took with his Nikon D90... if picture no good his reason is that his settings are wrong... hhmmm..... And just for those euphyllia freaks out there : Ketchup is crossing his fingers and praying that the following which is now in our QT tank will survive the 30 DAYS QT.... Btw it looks like the fish has white spots cause the water isn't exactly crystal clear so as of Day 0 the fish is still currently clear of itch. CHeers all!!!!! Desi

Watsons and gaurdian sell?! Oooo ok ok !! I didn't know that!!! I'd check that out! Cheers Desi

You can buy syrgine from NTUC or Coldstorage.. right now I bought one which is meant for Cake icing! LOL Desi
