uh huh. That pink us really deep dark pink. I've got some bright light pinks. Come over and collect them fast!! And ur blue mushy and Yuma. I need space!!! Haha. Btw: no GO for me. Unless i can get the car or Jeremy gives me a lift. Hehe.

Thanks Peter and lemon for the tips. Like to share some good news. Some of the heads open up this morning! lemon: I got mine from CF.

very hard lah.. i dun drive to work anymore... so quite handicap... hey, speaking of rescape, if you have some live rocks left over, let me know k... esp those big piece ones. I think i'll try to do it over next weekend (just before CNY). Eh, when are you going to update your tank thread??? anyway, me going to zonk shortly... its going to be a tough run to CNY at work.

hhmm... dun talk price here lah... but let's jsut say, i hope it will open up soon... i'll been tryign to feed it with cyclo, henry's and some phytoplankton... let's give it another 2-3 days. I suspect it was too stressed during transportation... it was packed in a way that the tentacles cannot open in the bag. probably that's why. I was reading up on it, it says moderate light + flow, and lighting must be slowly acclimitise... so i've turned off my MH for the time being... let it get used to my tank parameters first... will introduce the MH slowly (hr by hr)...

oooooOOOooooo try to use a balloon stick + syringe, it helps! (Tip: courtesy of Raydiative... haha) After eating, they open super huge the next few days... but i dun really feed them every day, not even weekly... Anyway, it's back to work again... i do have some new zoas... just realised that it's always advisable to 'skin' the zoas off the rock. Coz even after soaking the rock in freshwater for 10mins... i still see some 'small creatures' hiding within the rock after i 'cracked it up'... Ray: I only managed to salvage 1 rock, the other one (with big hairy mushroom) is as good as dead... the rock stinks quite badly.. Do try to see if u can drop by this week k... let's try to clear before CNY.

some corals on the right of the tank... Peter: IMHO, the difference is in the details.. iphone can't get the details of the aussie... but once u examine closer, u'll know why the 'additional surcharge'! :eyebrow:haha . Strangely, my duncan is not exactly in full bloom.. in fact, they look like not sure if they wanna open... dunno what's wrong man... Does it need more time to acclimitise?? Hope it opens tomorrow.

The new Super Sun... i think it has slightly over 10 heads... 6 hrs in tank - after spraying some cyclopeeze + some henry's gourmet...

Rics feeding time (only some are eating)...

yeah... i did some rescaping to allow the 2 acans space... im now getting a little sick with my scape... i believe a rescape should be coming up really soon... will probably take the opportunity to catch and sell my ABT and PT. Probably my XXL cleaner shrimps as well. as you probably have guessed, mine's the 2B2R versions. Was quite fortunate to be there during shipment arrival... but i can say that the 9B notes are really really spectacular! wish i have that kind of spare cash to throw... btw: the pics of iphone turned out really crappy (under actinics and blueplus)... coming right up...

Peter, this is RICdiculous!

hey bro! nice of you to drop by the thread... yeah... got the aussie acans. And thanks Peter, i managed to feed them some henry's today... gosh, the colours are really quite something... took some quick shots with my iPhone earlier... Jeremy: i'm not sure how wifey is going to take it if i go on more LFSing trip... she not very happy today. However, a possible solution could be we get our wives and juniors can together for the "Reefer's lonely wives" club, and we both go LFSing... maybe we can still make it.

oh yeah... saw 2 boxes of neon gobies... but decided to give it a pass... bought supersun instead. Wanted to get the one and only chevron tang, but alas, it was reserved! Nice specimen... good size too! And we met Lemon at LCK... He also starts his shopping early! Rics... oh yeah... quite a lot left at CF, greenies especially. I think there are quite a few 'yellow/orange' as well... but my budget for the day is up, so didn't buy Rics...

bro, u wanna go? btw: Ray: can u gimme a lift? or we take 2 cars there? just in case wifey needs the car lah (and i cannot make it back in time)... hehe

thanks for the advice bro... guess i'll go with henry's gourmet and pellets for the time being... i have never bought mysis before...

Thanks for the tip ketchup... will try it the next time... btw: which purple ric?? haha I don't have purple ric, it's a mushroom...

After i got the acans, gotta do some shifting of the rics to another part of the tank... seems like they quite like it there.... Pic taken 10 mins after their 'relocation' and 'glueing' of the new ones... so not fully opened yet. Definitely just a baby collection compared that NANO-RIC siao (haha... yes Ray, i'm refering to you)... But i do like the variety of colours... the funny thing is, i really can't decipher the colours accurately, so i'll leave it to your 'eye-power'... that's about all for today... there's 1 more zoas that i bought, but it's not open at the time of photoshoot, so no pic... until next update... (hmm... thinking of going to CF tomorrow... haha)

And... i believe these are my most expensive corals to-date! Any expert advice on how i can keep them growing? was told to do low light + high flow + feed with cyclopeeze will do... correct?

Blue xenia (has a tinge of pink) and an electric blue mushie at the foreground... hopefully this time round, the xenia can survive...

RED RED for CNY!!! i believe this is a red chalice? partially damage, but a good 75% is in good condition, hope can nurse it back to health.

1st up... finally managed to take a good pic of these 2 mushies... unique coloration....

hahaha... just downloaded the pix into the laptop... am doing the 'selection' process now... i think i really need a tripod when using macro lens! 8 out of 10 pictures are blur sia! gimme awhile... but don't expect too much... it's not that 'gem' really!

Peter, i guess u are right... i do find it largely difficult to resist, bought another batch today. Sigh... nonetheless, decided to make some adjustments of corals after buying a few for the new year. i think i'll set a target... stop at 2...... (dozen!) hahaha...

finally got some sanity back in my life after junior turns 1. empress doesn't complain now when i go shopping on saturday morning. u still keeping your pico/nano tank? any new updates?? btw: thanks for the chaeto, for some strange reasons, they are not growing fast enuff in my tank... haha.. i think i may have to shift it into my sump instead (currently sitting in my EOF).

errr... that depends on which 'grade' you are looking for... it ranges from 2B2R to 9B... Btw, they still have some rics left... i didnt take the big orange one... leaving it for you.

Peter, your eyes quite sharp huh, even for such a lousy quality image... i think i should have abt 10 or 11... am not exactly buying more, but if i come across something that's different... haha.. i guess i will be 'moved'. hey, you thinking of shipping in any rics from that cherry website? the rics are simply too yummylicious!!!! dunno if they deal with tiny red dot like us...
