desideria

lcf.... upgrade to a bigger thank la.. then the FOWLR will be swee swee... your tank doesn't seem sufficient for the fishy to cheongz here and there. LOL hint hint .. 6 feet ! 6 feet!...

i used the red slime remover.. can't remember what brand but it's a yellow powder... worked like a charm to remove all the crap but take note if you use the red slime remover, your skimmer is going to go overboard with the skimming. Caused a mini flood for me as mine is an external skimmer and it started wet skimming like CRAZY... have to tone down your skimmer when you dose the slime remover. After that throw in copious amounts of bacteria... for those rocks which the red slime didn't go away, I just chucked them.

hor se jacky... love the set up la.... so neat.. good tank too. hee hee

looking good amused.. LOOKING good.. closely following as well .... you have allot of patience to wait for things to be delivered slowly.. for me it was all delivered and done within 2 days. To have things half done in my living space simply will not do. Kudos to you... I hope you will practice the same amount of patience when it comes to the cycling and then the stocking. GOOD LUCK!

nah.. I don't think prices will dictate the beauty of the fish.. after all.. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. more like the higher the price tag, the harder it is to catch hence rare to see being traded in the hobby. One man's meat is another man's poison.

mike...... /faint man.... Swee the photos and the vid... shucks man.. my tank system somehow can't keep those corals with "meat"... blastos, lobos,.. all kns after a while. I don't even dare to try scolys. Fantastic man your setup. my aim!

ever thought of using toyogo tubs? They also work well.

wow Jer...... that's ALLOT OF CHEATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great idea..... but I got clams in my sump now... no more space for that. AIKS!

very nice set up prox. Looks very yummy indeed!!!! would be great if you could take a full tank shot with the lights

my 1/4 arctica was not noisy.. u can hear it but it's like a gentle whirl... get it checked

James, have built in timers... 16 different sets of timings that you can use to set your lighting to go on and off 1. Same everyday 2. different everyday 3. Same for weekends 4.Same for weekdays etc etc.. I can't remember all 16 different variations. LOL I couldnt be bothered to set all different so I just used option 1. LOL though perhaps I may change it if I feel like it.

Love the tank!!!! CR is good... I agree...quite happy indeed with the 3 footer I got from Dan. Very responsive and friendly service. I sincerely hope they continue this way

Saw this youtube being linked on FB.. damn funny .... I drive too but I certainly do NOT take this long to park!!!! The commentator is hillarious.

yeah I have it.. so far.. so good... fingers crossed.

whenever it's dirty.

I release my angels first.. and if they dont nip on zoos.... will cheong to your house!!

eeewwww disgusting.... glad you got the bugger out. .... I too caught my bobbit worm about 1.5 feet last week.. absolutely eewwwk worthy.

ahhaha Jacky.. np man... anyay I highly recommend this tank maker Coral Reef Aquarium. very good work .. no complaints from me.

ahhah yeah boiled it... I didn't feed it to my fish.. It's poisonous so if anyone catches a bobbit worm.. DO NOT feed it to the fish!!!! They are nasty !@#!@!$!@@$

hooked up to our main sump terryz .... this is gonna be angels, and sps.. and some cheap zoos

Ok I finally got my Orphek up and running. We initialy thought of drilling into the cieling but that would run the risk of hitting into electrical wiring etc and I don't have the plans of our house so forget that.... and because the tank is about 1/2 feet away from the wall.. we didn't want to get to big a bracket to hang the light. End up... we found that the Maxspect Mazarra bracket will be able to do the job! so here it is... The controlbox is however rather big.. almost 1/2 the size of the LED itself. I placed it on the chair next to my 3 footer for now. this is the tank with just moonlight on. Also, I had some minor rock issues last night when I reached in to pick up a coral which dropped to the floor.. resulted in an hour of salt water mess again as I had to save my overhand from collapsing .. so now I have a top tier and 2nd tier look.. this is with the ecolamp blue LEDs on only.

Wow very nice and clean tank.. I like!!

Long time no update.. but last 1 week has been.... eeky... Caught 2 worms. Last Tuesday caught a 2 feet long bristle worm which I saw extending out in the morning to my makeshift Worm trap using a small jar and a decomposing scallop. See pics of my catch.. which resulted me in being late for work as instead of reaching into the jar which it tried but failed.. it started to crawl on the sand. I knocked over a big rock trying to catch it. Turned on my LED lights full blast.. stunned it and I quickly made a grab for it... I also knew I had a bobbit worm in my tank but I only once saw the head... I didn't think it would be TOO much of a bother until my golden rhomboid suddenly disappeared last week. I knew then after I caught the bristle, I HAD To catch the bobbit so although I know the jar wouldn't work but PERHAPS it could lure the bugger out... so I continue leaving pieces of scallop into the jar... and sure enough.. last night at 1130pm during the moonlight phase, I used a torch light covered with a red plastic bag ( red light from what I was told does not scare of these creatures..) AND I SPOTTED THe bristle worm!!! Part of the worm was extending out to the sand and man it retracts like LIGHTNING, really a blink of an eye. you wouldn't be able to siphon it out unless as some other reefer said you had a 100HP suction pump! LOL Anyway I shouted for Ketchup, and we decided there and then to get the bugger out even if that means tearing down part of our rockscape to do so. Basically the worm was lodged in the BASE rock of one of our supports of our zoos overhang and the base rock also had our RBTA which sadly became a casualty of bobbit worm war. We took the rock out, placed it in a pail and brought it to our backyard where we dosed the rock with my Waste water from the RO/DI unit. Saw the worm falling out ... but to make sure we really killed the bugger, we boiled a pot of water, said sorry to the anemone and dosed the whole rock in the pail with HOT WATER to make sure it was really DEAD as a Dodo. Here's the pics I took THrew out the rock after that sealed in one of our many Spare D&D salt tubs. NOw.. from disgusting news to more happy news We have added 3foot long x 2 foot wide x 20 inches high tank linked to our main tank sump. Front panel crystal glass. Currently using a Par38 to temporarily light it up. WE have already bought a unit of the ORPHEK PR156W module and currently trying to find someone who can help us drill the hanging hooks into the ceiling. Will provide pics and a user's review of it when I finally get it up and running. This tank is gonna be predominantly an angel and SPS with zoos tank. WE already have 3 dwarf angels ( Fisherie, Coral Beauty and Flame) which as you can see from the pics below are all in beta boxes waiting to be released at the same time to lower the risk of aggression. We used Tahitian BLack Sand and we cycled dead rock we got from Irwarna for the rockscape. After Mr bobbit and Bristle, no more LR for us... gonna spend the time cycling Dead rock. Currently, there are 2 sand shifter starfish, 1 sallylight foot crab, 3 banggai cardinals, 1 cleaner wrasse and 1 yellow wrasse in the 3 footer. Our Target release date of the prisoners is this weekend.
