here's a pic ...

hi, not sure how much different suns are from supers. but for my supers, i just make sure i don't put them in too much light, so located them near bottom. with that, about 80% of the time during lights on, they are open. also as i've mentioned in my thread, my every 2 days feeding still seemed too much for them as i noticed them throwing up, even just using 1 cube mysis only. so in the end only direct feeding 2x per week (frozen mysis, FM Ultra LP), then indirect with cyclopeze. important is see how they react, polyp/tentacle extensions, and general health. may differ case to case. for my case, they're very healthy with this. cheers !

already dead ? should have been placed back

thanks bro. when i started with it, i used to feed it every other day. but time to time i observed it throwing up "undigested mysis". so i slowly backed off. important thing is to see how it reacts, and how healthy it still looks. during lights on, 70-80% of the time they're open. and during lights off, i always see them 100% full extension, some of the heads extending up to one inch out. so far 3 heads melted few months ago, not sure if it was someking of disease, started with one head, then the next, then the next, when that happened i removed the whole ball and quarantined it first, gave it some turkey-blasting of NSW like a bath. after that it was ok. cheers !

very nice bro, simple and clean look

welcome bro. like the other bros mentioned, the smaller the tanks, the more care you have to take, so as long as you're really into it, then should be ok. what do you plan to keep ? that would affect kind of media and how much changes you have to make. for sand, it also depends, you may use smaller grade sepcially if you plan to keep the likes of gobies, if not you can also go for bigger grades of black ones. lastly, be patient with proper cycling and LS adding. you can get a lot of help from reefers here, just advise what you need. cheers

thanks bro. still thinking, my tank is a couple's tank ... the price to gat a mated pair, is still ok, but now knowing how my clowns can turn into like predators, is like a 50/50 risk that i'd have to think twice. though not as much, the clowns chase the male a little, so instead i may have to let him go if it turns worse at least other than the flame, they don't mind the others. on the cover, thanks. a rimless open top is really clean, and i only diy the cover for the flames, tried to make it still as neat as possible. aquastar is really a good place for these things that's where the black suction cup and the diy black eggcrates came from. as for the view, yeah eventually i would even want an all-sides-view but that has to be quite a big tank. i just try my best now to balance the 3-sides with some life cheers !

thanks bro. cheers

thanks bros. actually, i don't feed my suns that often, only twice direct feedings / week - on 1 day Fauna Marin ultra LP, and another day with frozen mysis. Indirect, turn off filter and skimmer, 2x a week i drop a small ice cube of stuff i mixed (freeze dried cyclopeeze, phycopure, zeo coral vitalizer) and just let the 6025 flow them away i agree peace, the cade tank is like ada, clean and very minimal silicon, and the opti-white glass gives it quite good clarity ... though what i have is 6mm only ... so far still ok

when ?

that katherine isssss nice ...

a single rock of zoas with 8 different ones ... maybe not as exotic, but the variety of colors are soothing to look at sorry not that clear, tricky WB ...

thanks bro ... was desperate then to think of how not to fill up the bottom haha ... so if you got a black back, can do

my supers ... really a sun ball already, now about 43 heads formed into a half ball ...

haha, yeah, and cheap

yeah, the 2 head bubble has been with me for quite long already, and has grown about 4x size. it's too huge now for my tank actually, so the only place i saw that i can place it is by the wall. i have one of those suction cups with a clip, so just clipped and stuck it. it expands to bigger than an adult size open palm now looks good coz it creates a floating effect ...

anyway, hereá clearer pic of FTS now ... blue leds ...

it's ok. yeah time to time i see my clown harrass a little, but first time i see a real bite, it's like a cat mom carrying her litter ... another thing is, the flame was on the oppostie side of the clown's territory, maybe got jealous when she saw my face near the flame !

will do bro ... have visitors until next week, then after then i can only continue my 'project'... so a few weeks more when done, can to go kopi together start chionging your frag tanks

hey bro, i think you missed my earlier post i quoted here ... she was grabbed near the head ... i didn't know my clown can bite like that is if a tiger lcoked on it's prey ... like i said i didn't understand what happened ...

Thanks bro ... Yeah before I scaled, I checked out minimalist scaling concepts first as inspiration. Btw, as update, my female flame, jerked a few more times, seems like her last breath .... Then sank back down the quarantine, now lifeless. That was quite fast ... My clown still checking her time to time, dorsal fin stretched as if want to move again more a kill ... No need, she's already still ... RIP

blue rim ... so tempted ... really nice ones bro

just a while ago, i was looking at my female wrasse, suddenly my clown dives fast down, grabs her by back, and carries her around the tank while wiggling wildly time to time i quickly tried tapping the glass also while grabbing my turkey blaster, then with a big swing throws her away, and she just start sinking, breathing heavily, until she just drops almost lifeless on the sand. i quickly got her and placed her in quarantine... now she's lying on her side,breathing very heavy, jerking around time to time ... hope she survives this ordeal ... just last night watched octo on human prey about grizzlies ... my clown became one ... what suddenly prompted that attack, i wouldn't understand ...
