Hey can see that u placed two pieces of plywood under the foam. why don't u juz put 1 piece and the other on the bottom rack so at least u can put things like filter or others at the bottom? Ur tank too big for the stand isit? Instead of pushing the tank forward, cuzing it to jut out at the front, why not push it back so at least it jutting out at the back? Juz my 2-cents

Hi uws, How's ur set up coming along?

All reefers, let channel all fustrations to keep nice reef tanks and capture them on our DC, cam phones and sharpen each others skill in reefing by showing the results, conditions, equipments... blar blar blar. It's a HOBBY, lets ENJOY it

xersion... looks like it time to switch to cam phones lioaz Think certain close up of macro still requires a DC lah until the market comes up with a physical zoom lens for cam phones.

All photos are taken under 8x T-5 @ 24W each. 2x Actinic, 1x Pure Actinic, 1x Midday 10000K and 4x White.

Here are the Octos... again I must stressed that no photo editing had been done. Enjoy

Hammers, green and light purple or maybe to some, it's brown

Here's my Hammer and Octo corals corner.

Ya really from the K800 and I must say that there is no photo editing done to these pics so that's why I'm pleased by it's 3mega pix cam function.

Tell u ppl, sure can't believe it. For all the newly updated photos, I used a Sony Ericsson K800 Cyber Shot, in micro and without the xenon flash. Unbelievable

but what if the foam is a thin one, will it help to have a plywood under? Why I suggested this is bcuz I also did that for my new tank (in process). Felt that the foam might not be thick enough for the weight absorption, so placed a plywood underneath. I'm using the off-the-rack wrought iron stand too, which was told that some of this stands are hollow inside. So I thought the centre support bar might not be strong enough esp if it's a marine tank with rocks, sand and for the size used by UWS @ 2.5ft, I'm sure the weight is heavy. Juz my two-cents :-)

correction... it's not that I don't need to change water but juz that I've been juz adding water only and almost every 6 months, do a 1 or 2 pail of water replacement, abt 5-10% only. That's why u only see the corals grow fat but not multiplying. Who would believe that there is no water change rite

...how long it had been since I last changed water?

correction... rocks was bought back in 2003. This tank was set up in 2003 with no chiller, one lousy skimmer, 4 T-5s, no dosing of good supplements, no changing of water... condition simply CMI!!! Now much better but still no changing of water. Anyone wanna guess how how it has been since I last change water?

... and finally, can even see the lines on the "Pu To"

zooming in...

More close up shoots!

Juz kidding. all are stacked up and no epoxy used at all. Rocks and branches are all from CF that was bought in 2005.

Hammy, all rock are pierced through the glass from the back piece

Yes it's a Digi cam but can u guess which brand/model... cuz I was shocked that it can gives me such powderful close ups

Anybody wanna guess what cam I'm using for the close up

Close up of the Super Sun! Must wear shade manz...
