i only switch on the LED moonlights when i am home. I switch on the white lights when taking pics

err...why sand white...? probably 2 reasons, 1 i rarely switch on my lights as it is noctural reef and high flow (tunze 6045) thanks:)

sharing my 34Gallon RSM - noctural reef

how is the noise? is it noisy?

hi wilson, yes the background is black, so are the right and left glass, to darken the tank and prevent other light from shinning in. hehe yes i purposely position the corals against other different colored corals to bring out the natural constrast (yup...i didnt not change the constrast in photoshop) yet have to provide the necessary flow required for each coral, since these corals demand strong laminer flow. as to photography, i am still learning. thanks for all you reefers' comments. Hope to see more tanks like mine in Asia:)

it was intense red when acquired...then the crowns dropped of...the subsequent new heads are not so intense. however, i notice 1 amongst coco is getting more red. But not sure....only time can tell.

sorry retook the pic, was blur previously

Fast forward a bit - April 09 the fragged menalla sp is growing fine, so is the mother colony. This is an update after 4 months since fragged...See the growth at the base. I removed RDSB and tall refugium and opt for a Aquaclear hangon filter as the refugium to support pod population with Phytofeast dosing. These are my new addition thanks to friends who gave them to me. some updates

Jan09 A new year - new corals hehe, I brought home a red rhyzo and a mandarin (which didnt survive). I also setup a simple tall refugium with chaeto, with phytofeast dosing to support a pods production. I found that the blueberry loves the strong laminar flow and after discussing eariler with a masterdiver how seafans naturally position itself and how strong the waves were. This is how i position my blueberry since Dec08

Dec08 Towards end of Nov08, i acquired additional seafans (but didnt survive). During the last quarter of 2008, i setup Remote Deep Sand Bed (RDSB) to support my system and also start feeding using Fauna Marin products; namely FM min S, FM min F, FM Seafan, FM Clam, FM Live. I also purchased Tunze 6045 to increase the circulation. Because of the additional seafans i got, i had to make more real estate for my corals. Furthermore, the last scaping hinder the laminar water flow that seafan strongly desires. Here is the scaping: Towards the end of Dec, i purchased Skimz new CR and converted to SR. I also use American ORP Pinpoint to monitor the SR. This is on top on the Biodigest and BioTim i used. Also in Dec, several reefers came over to my place and withness my menalla sp fragging. Some reefers got free frags too:P

Nov08 In Nov, after adding 2 blueberry, 2 dendros, 3 menalla sp and other seafans, and more sun corals, i rescape the tank to give a more cave like look and eerie and mysterious feel

In Sept 2008, I decided to sell off all my photosynthetic corals and ventured into sun corals. (then 3 supersun, 1 rhyzo, branching sun coral and 1 sun coral) Sept08 My setup was: 48x15x24 Aquamedic Shorty II + Oceanrunner 3500 needlewheel Eheim 1262 & 1260 2 x 54 watts T5HO Seio 820 & Tunze 6025 7G RDSB Outdoor compressor + 1 HP titianium coil resun

ma be not coco worms, i used to had that before. Hard shell like coco worms on sump glass, a check to www.wetwebmedia.com said this happens due to excess nutrient levels

looks happy clowns to me.. btw how long u kept them?

yes it is SUPER expensive. My price is in Ringgit Malaysia. (me from Mal)

lovely suns. if can show my suns too here the white sun is a single polyp - Rhinzo

Sun corals can withstand direct flow, of course not right in front of it. Sun corals can be train to open at specific times if u regulate their feeding A Research article concluded that sun coral open their tentacles when lights off and close when lights on is mostly due to the rise in the temperature and not so much of others. However i would like to add it is also due to the mircoscope food that comes out when lights are off. U can alternative try like me, have flows directed to them and have their tentacles 24 / 7

have a power head direct to them, they will then open continuously
