Hi Bro, Come over my place, I will pass you some zoas to try out. Cheers

Upzz for your Wonderful looking SPS !!!

Thanks bro for the kind offer, dont think i would be trying LED anytime soon as many bro has not got convincing feedback for sps so far...would wait for the LED technology to be more mature before venturing into this area. Btw, I am convince that MH (as compared to T5) has a much superior effect on bringing out the luminous intensity pigment of sps, have done some experiment on milles before and the results are quite astonishing

Happy CNY bro haha...dont suan me lah CF, i am just a little curious hows fast would the sps colour changes from LED to MH, cos me got no money to try out LED mah. But imo, I notice that for some specimen such as letistella, monti cap or birdnest can react to light pretty fast. However that's with the case from the same lighting type while shiftinig from lower to higher lighting levels. Cheers

Bro, any update on your new MH versus LED lightings

This is a tort sps. Classified as one form of staghorn species. This one you got is one of the nicest and easier specimen to colour up. Nice catch

Upzz for you bro, didnt know the chilli pepper has grown to such a nice state..look so healthy !

Hi Bro, Just some input for your MH level from water surface. Take note not to shock your sps from MH in the begining. If possible, either adjust your MH level from at least 9 inches or start with a shorter photo period (say around 4 hrs). Eventually, to say the least, the nearer the MH to the surface level should ideally be better since you will be injecting the highest intensity to pamper your most light demanding sps species, though you might sacrifice some spread as a result. The only issue is now with regards to the heat that emits from the ultra hot temperature. Hence you will need to install some fan to help disperse some heat from directly heating up the water surface.

Wonderful bro...keep the love for reefing goiong

Germanblue digi colour is impressive

Thanks for sharing Lemon, those blue LPS are so beautiful !!! Singapore was known to be one of the richest diversity area in terms of corals, unfortunately that has gave way to all the modern developments, reclaimation etc... If only anyone knows there are some volunteers organisation who are active in re-planting the corals back, please let me know, i will be happy to donate every specimen i have to get it propagated back in our waters !

Nice tank Marco ! Can tell from the SPS PE are great and zoas are all puipui

Wonderful progression uncle Tonny and bro Vincent, a classic and examplary of talented, knowledgeable and hardwork sps reefer

Upzz for your frag clearance sale ! It's time to visit you for your new tank scape

Whao...such ang ang prata should be good for those who wanna decorate their reef tank with nice red Upzz for you Klyve

Tycoon Lee is indeed very generous, truly live up to his tycoon status

LOL...

Wow...nice and healthy looking Pinky Mille Upzz for you Bell

Thanks bro for the kind and constructive comments Beside the parking fine issue, I think most bros enjoy their time at my place I think Singapore LFS has a significant role in contributing to the reefing scene here. Without them, we reefers wouldnt have access to all thses beautiful corals around the world, we need to pay tribute to them As to whether LFS or home-base corals, hahaa..i really think this is a non-issue at all. IMHO I realised that most bros who bought frags generally enjoys the convinience of having to buy their favourite sps/zoas frags which LFS may not have stock or no access at all. In such cases, home base frags meets their need to obtain their particular favourite zoas/sps. For example, Purple Death is one of zoas collectors favourite colltion, till now I have not heard of any LFS who has brought in any of such shippment. The spread of this beautiful zoas is only make possible via hard-core reefers who has taken the risk to order them from oversea and risking DOA / time and effort. Now Purple Death is available to reefers at affordable price. As to the issue of success rate, I agree with mini-reefer and mengyang that home base frags can be alot easier to keep but shippment corals can be equally good. The advantages of a colourful frags are stable and usually pest free...but hor prepare to pay at a higher price lor At the end of the day, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are always so many reason why ppl do things, let the market force decide...anyway imo, LFS corals and home base frags meets different needs

Mike, imo there are few possible reasons for this case : 1) The colony may already in deteoriating condition when you got this sps, it's like cancer (sounds scary though but true). Initially it may seems good, but eventually it will weaken, stn and die. That's the reason i usually try not to get from tank which is in process of decoming. 2) Flatworms. The sps may have been attack by flatworms and got stress up, eventually got eaten up totally. 3) Lighting / Water parameter inhibitent. Most likely caused by in sufficient acclimatisation of the frag. This sps looks to me like lokani / echinata specimen which usually found in deeper water. They may also thrive in higher lighting provided they are slowly "trained". Hence it's important to know their previous lighting / water paramenter environement and try to match it closest possible when first introduce into your tank.
