hmm the 3rd pic does look kinda menacing, reminds of of some over sized monster terrorizing little humans. but nice pictures man! wish I could take such pix too, sorry for diluting your thread, haha. hmm yeah I would rather not have the damsel too, kinda aggressive to every other fishes,

nah, most welcome haha. hmm not entirely surprised la, since 2 of my corner units are RC members and ex RC chairman or PBM sumthing, oh well, don't wanna inconvenient my nice neighbors too, will probably have to shift them for the 3rd time to my room maybe and pray it doesn't flood again..

haha, hi bro raydiative!, old man jacky? wa liew, scarly ppl also call us tt 10 years later hmm i do help out my mom's food stall at times, and guess wht those 80 or 90 + years old ah ma call me? - Ah Jek, 60% or Uncle 30% Ah Boy 10 % !!!!!!!!!

CRAP! kana town council notice to remove the electrical wiring outside my house that is providing air bubbles to my live rocks #%@$%@$# I'm actually quite ok to remove the thing until she said : "as it is wire and electricity we're talking about, and firstly people may trip over the wire, secondly, wht if there's a cut in the wire and with the salt water it will cause major electrocution for passerby, then it's super scary and dangerous, so I cannot allow you to have the wires outside, if you need the air pump you can buy the battery operated type." she said it with such gusto and horror.. pray the tank will arrive soon..

lol, talk about small world and the odds, the campus ain't big as well, Marc you're a student or staff there? Hi Bro Solo77, thanks for your encouraging words, I really like the creative freedom/space (though my living room space compromised ), I'm still very new and plenty to learn from you seniors! and saw ya FTS in ya thread last time and now, it's super zai! all the specs also super drooling!! not to mention your galactic-list of live stocks Hmm think we can look for more SIM ppl and form the un-official mini SIM Alumni SRC Chapter, haha , I wish I were in the big 3 uni though like bro menyan_neo & law, btw wht you guys majoring in?

wow, how did you know? i'm 84 actually, but no diff also we're both from SIM, but he's in UOL i'm in UB, different uni, u're from SIM too? sounds great, anytime after exam is cool for shipment chionging .. but i'll jus c c look look and just admire.. WJ finishing exam 2 weeks later.. my last paper is on monday,

Many thanks to bros/sis raydiative, desideria, comycus, AhSiang, Jackywongto, Binosage, Richie13 & MarcoVan for the encouraging words, pls do offer your advise and tips liberally plenty to learn from all you seniors! the FTS from you guys are super nice man! can't agree more with bro Richie13,will probably be a good 1-2 months of cycling (will likely be doing bare bottom) and will be quite quiet during that time, and good time to save up too. hmm think I should be small sized enough to be in the tank and do some scrubbing if need be, AhSiang : yeah, I see them using carpet when moving, maybe they could also use that to absorb the impact-prone areas too, and seems like quite a few bros here kana similar incidents with Sg Bros, this is the 4th time I'm having them helping, but the first time this thing happened. But no 1 wanted this to happen either and I'm just glad that they are willing to take full responsibility. MacroVan,Law : the feeling does sux, but will take this extra time to read up and learn more too

not bout fitting, but read in forum that anything more than 12 mm for crystal glass it's gonna be a bomb gosh, wht happened? they replaced the tank for you as well? Leon told me they'll send it back before 30th April though,

Thanks bro law! haha, yeah, sure hope I won't be yearning for more space! haha the glass thickness is 12mm, luckily not more than that,

and also.. maybe to re-formica the cabinet special thanks to bro mengyang_neo for the recommendation of Sg Bro, I didn't know they provide such service too,

and here are some of the inhabitants waiting for their new adobe : my beloved ghost boxing shrimp!!

took the opportunity to re locate the live rocks outta my room to stop the mini flooding!, and they are now soaking outside the house, and my nice neighbors occasionally asked if there were any fishes in the tubs,

super sian.. cos now the progress is stalled.. and sitting at various spots of my parent's small 4 room HDB flat.. and the the stinky :

THE UNTHINKABLE!!! : The corner of the tank was actually chipped and cracked when exiting the lift............. and to make things complicated, it was the front panel... which is a crystal-glass panel used by bro Louis... I felt shattered, as the tank was meant as a gift from Louis (Super Duper Kindness ) , and even he was shocked about it, but Leon of Sg Bros readily offered to replace 1 for 1 the damaged panel, and he assured me the replacement panel will be crystal-glass as well, and I hope it will be the case... well, at least it's some 5-star service. It was cordial and there was no arguments etc at all. Might just top up the Sg Bros for the new panel in bona fide.

Cont'd cruising to my house!!! Fortunately, they didn't have to take out my gates and the width is again tight :

Day 3 de-com : Actual Moving!! Super elated!! Bro Vincent looking good : Here comes the lifting of tank and the hair-width gap through the door and lift (if you see closer, you'll notice the gates are actually taken out!!), kinda scary , but fortunately, all went well :

Hi bro Law, thanks man will definitely need as much help as I can get!! size wise its 6.33 x 2.5 x 2.5 ft, really love creative freedom and space

some critters I found from the live rocks during the 'bubble-spa' treatment, thanks to bro lemonlemon, who identified them here on the ID thread, I safely turn them to become organic fertilizer! haha :

De-Com Day 1: Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me during the first day, basically, Vincent and I spent the Saturday clearing equipments and getting ready for the main de-com the following day. De-Com Day 2 : Shiong day, transferring of live rocks and scooping out out sand form the tank. Seriously, it's almost back breaking, but Vincent does it with much ease, Apart from the barrels the tub and boxes are placed in my room (HUGE MISTAKE! as my floor was wet and sticky, kinda like a mini flood ) Total live rocks : 2 barrel, 1 blue tub and 2 long Styrofoam boxes!!

Hi Bro/Sis! Hope to have your inputs, suggestions and advises, as I am new and any help is most appreciated!! I have started reefing only late Dec 2009, with a 1.5x1.5x2ft tank, mainly with seahorses and other fishes, and met many nice seniors who taught me things to look out for etc, and have since been dreaming of a bigger tank for more space to play around. By sheer stroke of luck and chance, I met bro Louis from Pasir Ris in mid-March 2010, with the intention of only getting a Denitriator, Calcium Reactor and Fluidised Reactor. Before I knew it, I had taken over almost his entire set up. I owe my deepest gratitude to him for his generosity and kindness in letting go his gears and fish tank. and not forgetting bro Vincent of Aquarium-Artist for expertise in de-com and the band of brothers @ SG Bros! Here are some pictures of how the tank looked like with bro Louis, the tank is actually recessed into the walls, so taking it out indeed proved to be slightly tricky with all the wires behind the tank and the fear of any serious damages to the wall, but the fear was later unfounded as you can see from the pictures posted later. Kudos to Vincent and Sg Bros for the! @ Bro Louis's house:

Hi mengyang_neo, thanks for the quick help, I've called Leon up and waiting for quote. Also found another company http://n30.com.sg/aquarium_living Mr. Neo, thanks again bro!

Hi Bros/Sis, Any 1 has any contacts for re-Formica of cabinet/hood? Pls sms me @ 8112 3479 or PM me

wow, thanks for the super fast reply thanks bro! will feed them to the plants as organic fertilizers

apologies for duplicate topic, mod pls help close this thread. sorry again.

Hi Bros/Sis, Found the following creatures in my live rock, wonder if they are a boon or bane. Thank you big big
