Hi bro, viewing and collection will be at Bedok Reservoir View. I have pm you the details of my contact, thanks

Thanks bro for the upzz. I feel that there is always a timing for certain thing, just like when i started reefing i never like zoas, but later as i reef on, kanna zoas poison big time haha. But it's been an interesting journey so far with SPS and zoas, hopeing that i would appreciate NPS some time later too

Thanks ! hope those frags are doing good in ya tank so far It's ok bro, sometime passion are gone for good or perhaps both of them are having some other priorities in their life now, what's important is that they enjoy their current state

A warm welcome to you Martin, you sounds like a humble guy. Am sure the bros and sis here will be very willing to give you helpful advise. Many bros here have grown from a newbie like yourself to an experience reefer. Bro Klyve is very friendly and experience, a good example to follow

Yeah man, how i wish meeting all these real gurus and learn from them about SPS !!! I look forward to meeting them some day I would have gladly let you take my canon DSLR and bring back some crazy sps frag shot ...haha

Thanks for sharing this interesting trip with us Lemon, can feel your excitement throughout the entire journey....and I think you kind of represented our reefing community and help connect us with the outside world of fantasy.

Red planet is definitely a gorgeous lady. In terms of color combo uniqueness i would vote for the latest Yellow Lantana montipora

Upzz for this very nice specimen, if only the picture is taken with white light, the green base and red/pink polyp will be very contrasting in the picture. Good for sps starters. Nice price too.

Hmm...looking at your FTS, i suddenly feel that your tank should be bigger

Well, the scenario of moving the hollow artificial rock around after it has been in the tank for sometime (say during a rescaping ) is similar to churning up a portion of the sand bed where there will most likely be a nitrate spike. A natural live rock or a solid artificial rock would not have this problem. I have tried lifting a hollow AR out of my tank before, and the amount of trapped detritus and the slightly foul smell water that flows out from the AR came as an awakening to me that it is not an ideal thing to have in a proper reef tank. Of course, having know the potential issue, one can still go ahead and use the hollow AR as long as he has a super efficient nutrient export system and a regular water change regime to tackle the issue of a hollow AR. On a side note, if the hollow AR is very nice in shape and you can't resist using it, you can try to fill up the hollows by means of injecting either cement or epoxy into it. As long as the overall weight is heavy enough to be submerge into water, seal up any empty holes or gap which water might gets into it. That way you will be able to use it with a peace of mind.

Simply amazing shot, look at the background and colors with the perfect tang posting....speechless

Bro, how's ya new tank setup coming along ? So did you keep the LR live or...kill it

Yes, artificial rocks are nice in shape, in fact very nice. The advantage is that they are very nature looking structure but also free of unwanted natural pest. But you need to beware of the type of artificial rocks (AR) which you are getting, are those AR hollows inside or solid. If the AR are solid type which is heavy enough to submerge in salt water it will be better. If the AR is hollow inside, then the only way for it to be place inside the tank is to allow water to fill up the AR so that it can submerge. The potential problem with a hollow AR is that the water that is trap inside the AR does not get circulated, which in turns becomes a potential nitrate factory. If you are gonna be keeping sensitive corals like SPS, i would urge you to consider using a solid AR instead of a hollow type AR. This will eliminate potential nutrient problems in the future. As for the housing of bacterial, this can be solve by having either a good quality ceremic chips and / or sand bed in your sump tank. Of course, if you have some LR in your main tank, that would be even better. Perhaps a good mix of LR and AR ( try to get the solid structure type) would be ideal.

Indeed it's a nice and hardy sps to begin with, upzz !

The second and third pic reminds me of....Fresh water DISCUSS fish !!!

Lol...bro BFG, I don't sense Lemon's comment has any meaning on putting down others. Well all those who has known him a little would probably know that he is quite straight talking, expressing his likes or dislikes. Technically nothing wrong at all, in fact at times offers a thought provoking views on the subject matter. That said, the choice of words and presentation of view points could perhaps seems a little unpalatable to some though...just get use to it, after all this is a forum to express view points, as long as there are no outright be-littering on others, and i am sure Lemon is not that kind of person. Everyone will have their strength and weaknesses, look at his strength and his contributions to this forum and let it go on the minor 'flaws' ....to each their personality.

Simply amazing Kudos to DM, Lemon who has shared so much about the rare fishes and their beauties in this thread, it's really an eye opener for many of us here.
