2 polyps of PD for a small 15 polyps?? haha... just for me to 'play play' with the US zoas lah... i dun have these wor.

Some frags... still hanging on...

Some updates to the 3 new SPS colonies... after almost 1 week... quite encouraged by the sustenance... Colony: dunno what's the name?? Colony: something valida?? Colony: something millipora

MossRope Bro... this is your frag... WYSIWYG (super hairy hor) pls come and collect by this Saturday hor... else it will be donated to ... errmmm... haiya, come quickly wor, i will be 'rescaping', dun wanna damage any frags...

Some new "ho liao". (limited quantity... can't frag unfortunately)

uh huh uh huh... that's the idea... but problem is in the placement of chiller. And its a major problem. I dun want another 'heater' in the living room lah. And sadly, i dont have balcony. so tomorrow u coming over? i should be able to be home by 9pm. And btw, they are opening big big liao... the purple colour is coming back too. come and collect quickly before i change my mind... muahahaha..

no lah... i dun like to use nail. just need to let the lights sit on them... thats good enough liao. Currently its just barely 1 inch away from the water. we arrange on sat again and let you know the dimensions k? if too much work, then dun worry bro... i can try to find other ways of getting them.

haha... yes, practice and imagination... indeed... and i've been doing some... will be sharing shortly. btw, i have a very kind sifu who imparted me with his experience. honestly, i think im still learning. have yet to reach the colour holding stage yet. am battling major red slime/cyano problem now... seems like zeovit system maybe on the way to 'cure' the tank. talking abt hairy huh... i did some shifting of the powerheads after advice from sifu, and the dunno what millie is opening like crazy... nice light blue polyps swaying with the strong flow... woo hoo.

superb stuff Jack. nice new luvs...

Thanks bro Law. That's me taking a shot at being "creative". Haha. Am inspired by all your shots bro. How's your venture into the darkside coming along?

Hey Ray, I kinda gave up on the 2-in-1 tank idea. So it's either a 4footer or stay put. Currently it's stay put. Have not been calling nat about ur tank bro. Pai sei. But will drop by for the weekly water change. FYI, both nat and I didn't buy water, so I got innovative... Starte buyin new carbon and resins for my crystal pro. Have been using that previously. You ok hor? Carpenter KY: yes ah, may need 2 strips. But why don't u tell me where to buy? I can try and swing by and get it done? Mine is simple, just 2 strips about 2' x 2" x 2". Just need to prop the lights higher away from water surface.

4 footer is, sigh... All but a dream for now. Am having a shitty time @work. Dun dare to over commit. Anyway I like the sunny side up too. An exchange program. I changed the pump positions on Sunday itself. Tried to siphon out the red slime. But guess what... It's back again! Tamade, I think my tank nutrient level too high. Oh back to the pump positioning. The corals simply love it. The milli polyps are opening double it's prev length. Looks quite impressive. Will do a minor rescape this weekend. Will tear down the sps tower and create something less obstructing. Can add another layer to the rocks on the left to add more potential frags/colonies. But zeolite is on the way, will start that once I read up a little more. btw, has the new "Ho Liao" open fully in ur tank already?

Me too me too.

looks like sunny side up right?

some zoas... still my personal favourite...

Just some quick updates on the tank... dated: 7/11 recently acquired SPS... slowly crossing into the darrrrrrrrrk side...

You want dragon eye for exchange?

I'm taking Spain. 2-1!!!

Bro kiko. You wanna trade with bam bam?? Maybe 6 polyps or so?

Guys. I having thoughts of downsizing the tank. Thinking of having 2 smaller tanks to share 1 sump instead Idea is to have 2x 1.5' cube tanks side by side. One for dedicated sps another for Softies, namely rics and zoas. Filtration will be shared sump with return to sps tank and sps overflow to softies. (not sure how but hope it's possible) Another option is to have 2 return pumps to both tanks. lighting wise, I will recycle my 2' T5. LR can recycle too. Sps will be bare bottom and softies will have DSB. Both tank will have a gap between them to accomodate 2' lights and I'll custom build a cabinet to enclose both tanks and sump. Sps tank will have minimal and low-bioload fish, whereas softies can have slightly more fish. Objective is to have easier maintenance, scaping etc etc. I'm finding it tough to control the water flow in a mixreef with both sps and softies in a cube-like setup now. Any suggestions/comments are welcomed... This is just a preliminary thought.

Thanks lemon and iskay. Hope to find a good home for him. Lemon. Didn't know how it turned male though. I only have 1 leopard wrasse throughout these 2over years. Strange.

thanks Law, yeah, i remember gary... but travelling to the west is always a problem... i went over to Petmart, wanting to buy the resins and carbon... end up buying a brand new crystal pro 3... sigh... talk about spending money! how's your venture into the 'darkside'?? i see you've been getting more?

Yes... it is the same fish... no photoshop tricks.

Am selling my 2 over years old Leopard Wrasse. My tank's first resident. Reason for selling... being a bully. I've seen the fish grew from black/white to now coloured... An extremely hardy fish, having survived a near crash when 50% of my corals died and all fish perished, this Leopard Wrasse was the sole survivor. Eats everything. (mainly pellets... that's how i caught it today). Am looking for a good home for it. Self-collect at Bedok Reservoir Road (i'll supply bag). Tonight or tomorrow day time. PM please. Note: not FCFS. 'pilots' (you know who you are), will not be entertained... Asking $15 Size: 3.5" Over a year ago Taken 5mins ago (just after trapping it)

Decided to take out a DIY 3-stage RO/DI unit to use. TDS reading all way off, so need to change cartridges. Am thinking of going to petmart. Anyone else knows or has the replacement?? Am looking for carbon and resins (is resin necessary??)
