I checked my Nitrate, its okay leh. Even without using Skimmer. No pink color at all. Is this the main reason for my lost? Nitrate? will adding Bio-pellets help? I dont think is the nitrate issue. Or had my bio load reached? - Which i strongly doubt so.

Mike, you are right, im not praying correctly. It had joined its friends on the other part of the world. This negative experience will takes me awhile before my courage can be raised. PS: I need to learn the art of praying from u soon, when i get more courage.

Nope, its not. Prayer didnt work for it as i found it stucked behind the wavebox! (After searching for 30 mins!!)

Thank you for your sharing of your valuable experience! Its true that some SPS lovers tend to be more inclined towards P.E. (I admit, im one of them.) However, with your sharing, i finally understand that its not doing much harm to the SPS as its only nipping on the P.E. portion and not the fresh. Anyway, its already roaming freely in my sump with lotsa algae for it to feast on.

Its great to hear from the expert like you Dr Ang! Thanks for the sharing! i believe this will provide another view of this Blenny species vs SPS relationship.

Siang, have you ever caught any SPS eating nudis before? or maybe "seen"?

Rate of SH feeding declined drastically since 2 days ago. Currently, whatever food i dropped into the tank, its not even giving any chase. Not to say even trying to swallow. Guessed its gg to go off prehaps earliest by tmw. Its to the extend that even my mum can said, "Your SOHAL is so skinnny!" All i can do is pray.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMCbtyBdZZ4

Mike, dont let the bewitching lashes blind you. If you insist, i can get for you if i see it again in LFS.

Well...your advice was one of the push factor..haha I did a check before adding in, was so-called 'Reefsafe'. So not your faulth la.

Its the thrill and challenges, that makes this hobby constantly interesting on one hand, and agony on the other! Most website displayed that this fish is reefsafe. Nothing was mentioned that its hooked onto SPS. This is the beauty of the marine wild life.

Great info bro! Thanks.

Bro, do you really need to decomm your tank just to catch it? Trust me, use a trap and be patient!

Yah man, its a fun lovely fish. But too bad, not sps friendly... Luckily, managed to trap it with the same milipora!! haha Its now in my sump. (Escaped from its little prison.)

Same same for me. Will only check parameters if the coral seems to be closed for a period of time. But i must admit, there will be so many testing and measuring only during this phase of tank setting up. After tank condition stable, will be relaxed.

Mr SH wasnt doing well. Body full of ich. Had been sticking very close to Ms Shrunk...Having the needs of a good clean up! However, from my experience with Tangs, he will have 60% chance of Survival. Mssey wasnt that willing to do that at all... Though Mr SH is feeding on Dr G's gourmet, its pretty chosey with food. I think its only feeding on 1 or 2 of the food..l. Got to find out which one he dislike! Today's medicated feeding didnt go that well... Sad However, its feeding pretty well with Mysis. Pray that it will recover soon...

Having the angels will mean, going in the dark side, getting rid of the zoas and meaty beauty...haha tempting!

Yoz bro, wats the damage for tis beauty?

Gfo really so fantastic? My fans were practically Destroyed by them!

Ups for u bro!

I did it! Patience pays off! The Sps nibbing cutie pie finally fell for my trap! It simplily cant resist the tempation of the long juicy tentacles of the milipora! Wooohoooo!

Upz for $$ saving product from a good bro!

Thats a great idea.:)Im more worried of the YT more than the SH as of this moment. The abrasion on both fishes are really impressive. They indeed are good fighter! And i love figher! This however will have to wait till i find a suitable candidate for my QT 1st. For the QT im planning the following; 1. Water change as much as possible, remove as much debris and waste. 2. Keep SG ard 1.020 (To Destress the PBT) 3. Keep algae grown as of now.

No worries bro, i would love to see the growth rate of those monti frags under your new big canons! PBT is just a dream. Im clearing my QT frag tank into a fowlr to try a PBT for at least 2 months before introducing into the main tank. And i swear that it will the last tang. Lessons learnt; 1. Never under estimate the 'powder' of the PBT, it will crash the whole tank! 2. Impatience never work well in marine tank keeping!

Hmm, i practically scissor cut them into very tiny pieces, mixed with tank water, and pour inside my wavebox. Maybe u have to slice them up very tiny??

Qn, why do we always joint/epoxy/glue rockscape when the tank is filled with water?
