My First Marine Aquarium

Guys, ever see a frog fish eat a dwarf lion? in my old tank, that's wat my frog fish did. I have abt 2 dwarf lions, 1 frog fish... one fine day, only saw one dwarf swimming around... frog fish as usual on sand bed, with it's tummy bulging and i mean bulging!... within 2 days, the frog fish also game over. The dwarf lion and frogfish are about the same size. -
i'm only hardworking when i like what im doing. hahaha...

Very nice specimen of Lobo for sale
wilsontantw replied to wilsontantw's topic in Sell off/Pasar Malam Shop
Thanks for interests... Lobo reserved, pending collection... -
hmm... a bleached black or yellow tang?? i like it for its uniqueness...
-
Come on guys... anyone can help to clear, preferably by Sat morning... FOC ah... or if you got a piece of nice LR, you can trade with me... (looking for something flat and long, like a bridge or something...)

I wish i can claim credit for this, but quite frankly, this idea came from a friend of mine, who helped me 'transported' the tank from Jurong West all the way back to Bedok. Best of all, he does not even keep marine fish. Let's hope this does help during the upcoming shifting. Guess simple tips like this will help a lot of reefers in future... that's what this forum is for! btw, you've got PM.

Dear friends, As i am planning for a big scale revamp+rescape of my tank, i have to let go my HUGE lobo with a lot of regrets. pic taken on 25 Mar 08 - Taken with 2x 24w T5 aquablue. The green/purple mouth + flesh is very nicely colouring up. And it's really a big pity for me to be selling this, coz i'm sure it's going to be impossible to find another healthy piece like this at this price in future. (it's with me for 2.5 months.) Very well taken care, place on a piece of LR that is all by itself. SUPER fleshy! And the size is bigger than my open palm (3 huge heads!) I target feed all 3 heads weekly. Potential buyer Must view before buying. Prefer to collect on Thurs night, as Friday nite i'll be out... and Saturday i will be doing the major shifting of tank and major rescape. Asking $40. Collection: Bedok Reservoir Road. Best if you bring a pail/box/something to carry it home. I can supplied plastic bags (but it's those sheng siong type). PM for more info.
-
Can view Thurs lunch time? (im working @ Leng Kee Road) Am interested in the yumas. (pink + Pink and green rim + orange ric) But my budget only allows me to buy 2. So must view to decide.
-
I've got these at all 4 corners... you think they'll help? Thanks dude, i'll pm u tmrw with my mobile. i actually work ard leng kee road... like u said, i'm sure we can work something out before saturday. Very grateful for the offer. Thanx again.
-
Thanks so much bro! may i know where do you stay? (just in case i may need it). As my tank is relatively small, (2.5x2x2), i actually intend to shift the entire tank+stand together... like push it at the main bone. Bad idea you think? I'm going to do that slowly and steadily, after i remove all the water (including the sump). Will try to see if i can keep the LR in the tank while moving. If cannot, sigh, then have to remove them piece by piece. which is going to be a major 'backache'.
-
I definitely did seen jervis' thread. (think he has like 4 threads or so?) Trust me, before i restarted this hobby, i stayed up till like 4-5am for more than 2 weeks, reading thru almost every single post of his, and many others... Sorry for the lost of your angels, but i'm sure you've got new ones to replace them...
-
You're humble dude. Will definitely be back often to check out your superb photography! Btw, nice dwarf angles you go there. Don't they fight?
-
Neat stuff, im not exactly into photography, but can tell that you definitely are. Professional?
-
if you ever get sick of it, put this piece on auction (in fact, even ebay, if they allow livestock) I'm sure a lot of tang-lovers (like me) will want to have this.

Well.. that's what lionfish eat in nature also mah... and furthermore, 1 nemo 1 dollar alright... no cheap hor. You want my hogfish? hahaha... i'm giving away mine ah! Finally managed to trap it. Happy to hear that your fish are eating. As long as they start to it, half the battle is won (the easier half). The lion, the lion... hehe... i wanna see it feed! very graceful... ferociously graceful! muahahaha. -
Dear friends... finally, managed to get trap the Bloody Irritating Territorial Candy Hog. Please note that this fish of mine is an aggressive eater. He will eat and eat and eat... Unless your fish is bigger or more aggressive than it, he will bully all others when it comes to feeding time. Bought for $5 around one month ago at half the current size... (currently, it's about 1.5" in length) Collection @ bedok reservoir road, normally around 10plus thursday nite (note: friday, i have company event, will be drunk by the time im home haha...) This sat will be from 11am till 12pm. BYOB (bring your own bag) P/s: I'm planning to do shifting of tank and rescape this sat, so please do come ard 11am, so that i can pass you the fish. btw, i work in advertising industry, thus timing can be erratic... read: not that i wanna aeroplane the meeting time, but sometimes, i really have to work later. This is not a FCFS. I reserve the right to give the fish to someone who really wants it and can keep it alive. Much as i hate it, it's still a living thing. Thanks for ur understanding. Kindly PM me if you want this fish... Here's the pix (taken 10 mins ago)

Friends... fellow reefers! Today 26 March 2008 is a good day! Very good day for me! Why you ask... 1) It's pay day! C'mon, every payday is a good day! Despite the fact that the moment we get it, we gotta spend half of it to pay credit cards/ loans/ bills and what have you. 2) My 'hiding' RBTA is finally out in the open! It's so much easier to target feed it now... Look closer, you'll find it near the big fat YT. Here it is, my mandarin is trying its best to get out of frame (this mandarin is totally camera shy). 3) THIS MADE MY DAY! After 3 days of setting up the trap, the B.I.T.C.H. finally got complacent, and tried to challenge it's 'imaginary rival' for one moment too long, and i managed to close the trap door in time! Hahahaha... Anyone wants a candy hog??? FOC one! (see marketplace thread) Today is a really good day!

Goodness gracious... what macro lens are you using... can see every detail!
-
wah cool! Do you have to pay for this service? Have been looking for something like this.
-
I'll sms u on fri night. in case last minute change of plans.. and have to postpone the shifting of tank.

My First Marine Aquarium
wilsontantw replied to marinetankguppy's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
Ah huh... diver yah... steady lah... many donkey years back, i was serving in navy, but not diver... i clerk! hehe. Try to save a little bit more, forget abt the 2 weipros, get a good beckett. Haiya, you early dun say, i just sold off my H&S skimmer. Try to keep your eye on the Pasar Malam section, you'll find some really good deal sometimes. Like this, or this (my recommendation) Okie, back to the fishy stuff! LIONFISH, i used to keep them abt 4-5 yrs ago. And frankly, mine doesn't even go near any frozen food. It's live fish that they're after. I used to feed it with ermm... cheap baby clown fish lor! Then after awhile, pocket can't take it... started to change to fresh water mollies. After awhile, i was told it's not good for their digestive system, so after awhile, the lions are RTG (report to God). Some encouragement for you, a friend of mine, successfully kept a tank of 3-5 lions, all grew to extremely huge. He managed to ween them into eating market prawns (dead ones of coz). So do give it a try. (What i heard was he wiggle the prawn in front of the lion to tempt it. But seriously, don't try it. I dun wanna be responsible if something bad happens ah!) If you wish to buy food at night, if you drive/stay near east/north eat, you can drop by to AquaMarine at Jalan Kayu or Katong, they close late. (After 9 still open). And for the pellets, after awhile, the fish will eventually realise that those that drop on the sandbed can be eaten and will eat them all up. My yellow tang and blue tang are now feeding from the sandbed. (feed them nori they also dun care... nowadays they onli eat pellets + henry's gourmet). I think since your tank is 4', the Bloody Irritating Territorial Candy Hog should have sufficient space to move around... My experience with the fish is that it'll hide for the initial few days. (and i thot it was dead)... then suddenly it just appeared from nowhere and start to eat... eat... and eat! While i was away for 12 days, i had help to feed my fish. And when i returned, the fish that grew the most was the B.I.T.C.H. (trust me, 12 days, and i can visibly see the growth) On a more serious note hor... am a little worried abt ur tank parameters over time. So you may wanna consider adding more LR while removing the coral chips. (if you take a look at most of the reefers' tank here, they dun have coral chips in their sump. Main reason is becoz they trap dirt and nitrate levels builds up over time. Unless you filter off the dirt, it will become a nitrate factory. A hard working skimmer or denitrator will be what you need. However, i'm no expert myself lah.... so just watch and monitor? Get a good nitrate/nitrite test kit (my recommendation will be Salifert) Good luck!
