new toy to replace my CL650 Quiz Time: do you know why the model is 650??? Ans: Becoz it consumes 650W of electricity!!! Fish Cooler on the other hand, only consumes 110W! (I've Saving Gaia!!!) hahah.. Anyone wants to buy the CL650?? (Oh, it does not come with thermostat, spoil liao... i bought an external thermostat, but need it for some personal project, so buyer gotta buy a thermostat before you can use it) - am selling dirty cheap (less than 3 digit - Pm to offer) Also took the chance to make slight modifications to my scrubber. Added egg crate to easy attachment of the scrubber. CU of the attachment Still dirty as ever Makes it easier to do maintainance

Here're all my corals... as you can see, not alot. No real gems... all normal stuff. Since i found some 'frags' lying all over the tank, thought i should save 'them' and put them all on 1 rock (multi-colour mushies on 1 rock)

Found some 'creepy crawlies' from some of my LR... Are they harmless or harmful? I kinda killed all of them wor.

Here's the war zone! I had to beg my wife to put up with this over the weekend! Besides, need to do it quickly, coz my boy's baptism is 2 Sundays away... better chop chop... else it's my head kena chop! Remnants of the tank Check out how 'muddy the water is'... Now i know why my PO4 is perpetually shooting thru the roof!

Coming Coming... be patient... i writing grandfather, grandmother story leh... must 'chalk up posts'... hahaha

Due to new ambitions and prolong problems with algae and overcrowding, i finally got down to rescaping the tank... lo and behold, it took more time and effort than i imagined! Started since Friday 8pm. And still WIP (work-in-progress)! I suspect it's going to take another week or month before i can complete. Anyway, just a little memory on my tank before the Extreme Makeover! (Operation Date: 6 Feb 2009). Fish: 1x cleaner wrasse 1x ruby head wrasse 1x leopard wrasse 1x flame angel 1x algae blenny 1x Yellow Tang 1x Purple Tang 1x Kole Tang 1x Powder Brown (sold after rescape) 2x Black Clowns 2x Cleaner Shrimps 3x spotted cardinals See, overcrowding for a 2.5' x 2' x 2' tank! With the new setup, it should see fish halved (plan to keep < 5 fish), and corals (doubled!) hahaha... FTS: as at 4 Feb 2009 RTS: as at 4 Feb 2009 I managed to catch all except cleaner shrimp + leopard wrasse... I couldn't find it anywhere! I really really hope it survives this rescape.

ive got a ruby head wrasse for sale. Just managed to catch it today during rescape. Unfortunately, buyer is overseas, and i wish to clear my house asap, coz wife nagging. let me know if u're interested. im located at bedok reservoir road... quite for from u.

does anyone know how much is the blasto? Also for Montiplate, birdnest and staghorn?

does anyone know how much is the blasto? Also for Montiplate, birdnest and staghorn?

haha... you saw that too huh... i very tempted to buy... but my tank now is maciam start from scratch... im not sure if i should re-cycle my tank now... Everything's cleared from the tank now. The only consolation is that all fish are caught (except for my leopard wrasse, i stir up my sandbed, but still can't find it.) PBT is collected by buyer. Ruby Head Wrasse: still available Black Clowns: reserved for adoption Algae blenny: still available (hard working ah this chap) But he's fat and strong! will try to post some pix later... now having major headache... tomorrow must clear sump + start to scape and hope to get water in by 3pm.

1) you look at your SRC member no. and then take a look at those registered in 2009. See the difference! 2) That True Octo is not 'branch' type, its 1 whole round piece with exceptional colours 3) You, should have just at least called me when ur tank broke. I sure chiong down and stop you from throwing all your jems down the rubbish chute! Eh, i think equipment costs would have gone down, but livestocks prices gone up quite a fair bit liao. friend, never come help me rescape my tank... eh, your place still got marine salt bo? i think maybe not enough ah... think tomorrow morning must go back to iwarna to buy the salt. Or is anyone selling tropic marin salt? (Only tropic marin pls)

it's not hollow, no worries lah, i'll pass it to someone else. cheers wilson

i help you take care of one of the torch, you can have both favia and galaxy. galaxy is on sandbed, need clearance space, coz it's tentacles are long (i've seen it extended to about 6" or more). Favia, i put mine right up there but not directly under MH, it's at the top, but back of my tank. you slowly think, i'm going to leave them in the tub for now. cheers

tsk tsk tsk... 10 red notes! maybe we should have a joint purchase.... get 4 friends, share the cost and split the rock into 4 quarters. hahaha.

wah... swee!!!! anyone selling these??

eh, bo liao... i just washed up, getting ready for baby's 2am feed. So took time off to post and read some emails. Tomorrow morning gotta go bring baby for jab... After that come back for round 2! (clear rocks + catch fish). Round 3: scape Round 4: water in Round 5: corals in Round 6: fish in Round 7: i kena kick out!

remember i almoooooost bought the torch before you at henry's? haha. nah, he recently had 3 very nice pieces of true octo, really striking colours, worth every single penny... unfortunately, i'm penniless for this month liao. Bought a 5-head blasto instead. hehe. (if you had gone there on fri/sat) the piece that's 'reserved' is mine. Oh, btw, the favia + galaxea are at the bottom LHS of my corals shot (in the blue tub). Let me know if you want, come take it tomorrow evening k?

All corals here liao... tomorrow will be catch all live stock. Wanted to hook up my chiller, but too tired liao... didn't have proper piping... anyway, weather is okie, temp reads: 27degrees, so i'll wait till tomorrow afternoon. Also added a FR and nano wavebox into the tub... seems like this is one equipment that everyone should have... small yet powerful. this tub is 4' in length and i can see small gentle wave motion... (i'm running at 14V currently, with the option of increasing to 24V). Tomorrow i will be catching all my fish out first, then rescape. Hopefully can complete by 6pm. For those who has already reserve the fish, i can be quite sure that you can collect them at around 4pm. Kindly be on standby around that time ok? I'll sms you the moment i catch them. Must collect before 10pm at night k? else, i may (maybe only) consider selling to FCFS.

FTS? you mean this?? haha... i just completed part 1 of my rescape plan... Remove all corals from main tank and place in tub (thanks to bro flame-tail for the loan... he is currently enjoying life in Bali!!)

haha... how abt a mix reef? after i bought the nano wavebox, i realised i also like something 'swaying'. i saw a piece of true octo, but too expensive man... 3 digits. will still keep a lookout. am going to collect my blasto on sunday. (red with purple mouth) hehe. but true also lah, SPS does look like rock, unless you're into the hobby, you wun know how tough it is to keep SPS. eh, do what i did... every time my baby cries, i bring him to the tank and he stops! See, that way, she cannot stop my marine hobby! hehe.

bro lemon, do you know how much the SPS are going (you can pm me the $$$). any red/pink ones?

i've got a Loooong list. (remember mine is a 2.5'x2'x2' tank)... hehe. 1) Regal Tang, over 1 year, grow from 20c coin to over 5". - sold to reefer 2) Powder Brown, over 2 months, 3", growing healthy, getting bigger than my YT. totally no ich or any other sickness. - going to be sold (coz overgrown my tank liao) 3) 2x black clowns, 3" and 2.5", over 1 year, since baby. 4) Leopard Wrasse, 2.5", over 1 year. 5) Algae Blenny, 2.5", over 1 year. 6) Best of all, Cleaner wrasse, over 1 year (have been a hard worker). 7) 3x spotted cardinals, over 2 months To be fair, there are some dead ones too: 1) mandarin (tank not matured enough) 2) golden trevali (hope i spelt it correctly) - didn't even made it to main tank haha... (died during quarantine, coz i didn't even bother to feed them). You be the judge... (like i said, it could be just me).

to be frank ah... his fish has been doing well in my tank. Maybe it's just me.

woah, my friend... finally see you post something in my thread! setup, sure siong! furthermore gotta spend lotsa $$$ and your setup is not 'simple'! haha. now besides house, you got baby + the 4-wheeler... sure heavy burden. And i'm sure you dun need me to tell you that there's no short cut to this hobby hor! btw, i still have your that 1ft+ boulder LR! (but after this saturday, it'll be broken into pieces liao) hehe... why dun do a thematic one? 2' pure SPS tank?

You should include cost of 'scrubber sheet'. (which is not a lot of coz)... haha.
