Hey simon! Indeed it's been awhile. Hope it's been going well for you. Coincidently, was just talking about ur nice 5footer tank just a few days back! Thanks for the well wishes bro. Let's catch up soon during the year end break.

Bro. Didn't forget abt the T5. I also still need your help with the ati pm's fans. Just need to find a right time/day. You ok for sat? I'll bring "poison" from the dark side. Haha. But timing wise, we arrange via SMS on sat can? Gotta bring my kid to register for school.

Hmmm. Sounds like a plan. Should give him a pm.

Bro. Let u know later this week if I'm confirmed selling it yeah. Hey bro. I'm lookin forward to do the exchange too. Besides the royal purple monti, which is really tiny. The pink one is also currently fragless. Am still contemplating whether I should frag and exchange for something nice. If u can, pm me what u like and would like to exchange yeah??

Beautiful shots! Such rich details.

Will take some pix and share. My nicest and largest of the LPS is with you already. Next to go most probably will be the elegance (purple tip) full luminous body. Maybe also letting go a bright orange coloured chalice (i think it's chalice) I have to keep the torch though, my clownfish is hosting it. Will share pics later part of the week.

Hey jacky! Very glad to have you dropped by. Work should be a lot better for you lately? Hows your tank too? Been awhile since I last visited you. About my setup, it's pretty much fully transformed. From LPS/sorties into almost full SPS. Still have some LPS that I'm reluctant to sell. (but soon the head will win the heart). Husbandry... Now that wasn't much of a choice, isn't it bro? SPS just demands so much... Thus the term "dark side".. Hope to see you more bro!

Last SPS photo update... Monti Cap: various types... if you have something to exchange, please feel free to PM me. I'm keen to trade with either these monti or other SPS. baby chilli-pepper bright pink monti (this piece is slowly plating nicely into new layers. Can't bare to frag it) jade green with dark blue polyps light green with brown polyps bright green common red royal purple A couple of pieces are not reflected here, as i couldn't take a good shot of them. next time perhaps. In the mean time, please feel free to share your thoughts. Just a gentle reminder, if you have something that i don't and like to trade... please PM me.

Just out of curiosity bro. What salt are u using now?

A beautiful transformation into SPS haven! Besides the hairy millies, ah lee has the biggest zoas polyps too!

Ah. So I suppose I'll bring white?? Hehe.

Hey thanks for the tip. I'm trying to control the feeding (and the poo). So will go slow on feeding. Coincidently, the powder black is feeding on pellets! Seems like a good sign.

??? Simi Italian stag? After RTN it'll be white stag!!

Based on the sketches, definitely something to look forward to... Will be following.

Ultimate would be a gem tang. Haha. Obviously, I'm not prepared to spend that kind of money. But IMHO, I feel this also nice with such an affordable price tag. Ermm, I guess its about there. Mine's a small tank, can't get too big a tang.

Hey guys, glad u like it as much as I do. I was just sharing with Cedric on sat night how much I regretted not buying on shipment day. Luckily it was still available yesterday afternoon (after 8days). It's still new in the tank and doing the tail-fight with PT. Hope it will not be too stressed up. Perhaps I should try the mirror trick or do a mini rescape. Will update weekly (where possible).

Shun, the RD should suffice if ur not keeping SPS. 1264?? Hmmm, I'm looking for one actually. Haha. Can pm me the price? If u plan to sell lah.. Alternatively, keep as backup pump.

Glad u liked it bro. I've always loved Tangs. But had put all these on hold due to SPS. Who knows, I may just do a fowlr becos of this chap. Hehe. This is it bro! No choice, of the 4 in the shop, this guy is in the best condition. Already pecking on rocks and eating coraline algae (strangely). PT that's sharing the same tank is already on pellets. I think should be quite ok. Powder Tangs are always a gamble. Oh did I mentioned that I was from science stream and I took pure biology?? But more importantly, I flunked it! Hahaha. I am more of a mathematics guy.

opps... forgot to add that i bought this partly becoz i cant bear to spend that much money to buy an achilles or long-nose black tang. this could be a substitute (and boy it's only a small tiny fraction of the price).

You are GOOD! indeed, that is the old name... i got a little confused by the new name (when i do a search, it popped out powder brown or blue). Anyway, powder black/gold rim seems 'cooler'. I'm not sure if i can 'fatten' it up, but it sure is cleaning up my 'coraline' algae. just minutes after introducing into the tank, it grazed off some coraline algae from the glass already. For now, i'm just hoping it doesn't have a 'break-out'. Threw some pellets, hoping it can 'follow' the Purple Tang, but it didn't. Thus i guess it'll take awhile.

New fish - An acanthurus glaucopareius (hehe: lemon, do i sound like a biology geek?? oh well, googling does help) Saw this piece during last week's shipment, but did not dare to try it, as it just arrived. But 1 week on, i revisited the LFS, and it's still there, so decided to take the dive today! Bagged it home, acclimitised for half a day... and into the tank it goes... As it's a powder series, i'm really keeping my fingers crossed. My 2nd attempt at keeping a powder tang. First was a powder brown, which outgrown the tank and had to be sold off. (Sad).. Hope this new fish likes the living condition in the small 2'x2'x16" holding tank. Besides it has to share with an existing albeit smaller Purple Tang. Stare??? Don't lah, it can get you killed. Showing off the left side And now the right The "back" side is censored as this is a family-friendly site (_|_) Just for the record: Powder Black Tang (some call it gold rim tang) - acanthurus glaucopareius Bought: 21 November 2010

Ok, both "handful" reserved. Will post again if I have more to give. Thanks for viewing.

Oh no... Not when I missed yesterday's superb shipment. Hopefully its not where my favourite LFS orders their shipment.

Now this "heart" shows how serious you are in this hobby! Good investment.

Anything also can. Just an appreciation. Don't have also can. I got mine free from peacemaker. Just returning the favor to community. Anyone??
