Queen angel tough ah? The one i played with so tame, want to bite my fingers somemore. HAHA! See! my thoery of choosing luohan apply to marine fishes as well! Saw one powder brown... reminded me of my powder black. Haiz.. gonna try it again once everything settled down nicely. Wait... wait ... wait...

No worries. Look different out of uniform la haha. I also abit blur in the beginning was tellin myself that his guy looks suspiously familar... They have beuatiful queen angels dont they. Did u get any? Damn swee... Its ok now. My YT started eating. Yeah feedin it garlic soak stuff. (Pellets, frozen mysis, nori even.) eating like mad. A good sign.

.... i'm sure...

Decide to split up since noone wanted the whole set. - 2 x 1 x 1 feet sump tank (Reserved.) - DIY overflow pipe (Reserved.) Still have the following and some new items i just dug out from my store. - 2 x 1 x 1 feet tank - Canister filter (Jebao 1500L per hour flow rate. Bought at 60 plus.) - Dymax 2000l/hr pump - A fan (Abt 4" wide, used it for my 2 feet b4 i have a chiller. Works well but noisy la.) Same, pls PM me.

HAHAHA!!!! IDEA!

Bro how much yur looking at? Pm me.

Erm... $35

Nothing to do today... So decide to rescape... AGAIN! Sometimes how i wish someone could just give me a slap everytime i decide to do that. (Geezz... come to think of it... do have a handful of people i know would loved to do that... girlfriend among them.. ) Anyho... Did a rescape realised that the clam i bought is too big for my liking. Any smaller ones for trade? And also found out that my tank seemed to be crawling with pods! Looks eeky... Small white dots all over the glass. My parents tot they were the itch parasites... Maybe they're rite.... Extended the rockswork backwards. Cant post pics till i get my hands on a digicam though. So now u can say is all AIR TALK la. Went to bioocean to have a look today. Very surprised to see a coursemate of mine. Chatted for awhile. Great tangs display tank they have, really beautiful. Not much life stock but quite an extensive range of additives and products. Good price too. Now i know where to go to next time then travelling all the way to "seletar"... Too far la.

*PENGZ Aiyoh....

Yeap Been running for sometime. Water at 27 haha put my hands in realised that its quite cold. YT in QT started feeding today. Rejected seaweed but pigging out on cyclopeze flakes. So happy. Cant do a pic update of my tank coz my aunt took the camera...

Bro Thats one of my fav fishes. Never tried coz heard its damn tough. But according to some overseas friends, those frozen angel preparation helps alot as they contain sponges. But quite ex la i think. the brand is hikari if i am correct. dunno if sg has the range...

Some updates since the "Itch" Catastrophe. YT only survivor. Now in QT. been dosing with AquaPharm's pro series Cure Itch. Seemed to be working well. YT much better but still not eating. (maybe still in shock.) Main tank. Now devoid of fishes. Guess its a good time for me to establish my mirco fauna while waiting for the itch to die off... a month? maybe two? Pods population explosion now. Every on the glass on my main tank to my sump. Good thing i persume. Tube worms spawn last week... this week saw quite a number of small 1-2mm white worms on the glass too. Maybe a whole colony of fan worms may pop out of no where in the future. Too bad its those normal ones, imagine it being those striped or purple ones... $$$ All my LPS doing fine. Got a new green bubble and black cuke from i aquaria today. And a clam from reborn. Wanted to give clams a try so bought a cheap one to test out. Parameters are good. Nitrate slowly reducing since the dosing of seachem's STABILITY. Anyone else tried? PH: 8.3 Temp: 27 used to be at 28.

Sorry hijack abit. Are blastos agressive by nature? Will the sting neighbouring corals like gornio, Lobo, pratas or cynas? Thanks in advance.

ohh.. i see now.

HAHa coz the same thing happened to me in the past. Tot it'll stick back but one fine day got blown off its cup and ended up shredded...

Woah bro what happened? Flow too strong?

Have the following for sale. - 2 x 1 x 1 feet tank - 2 x 1 x 1 feet sump tank (had it made but never used..) - DIY overflow pipe (Same as the above...) - Canister filter (Jebao 1500L per hour flow rate. Bought at 60 plus.) Hope to sell all at 60. PM me if interested.

1000L too small to be use as a return for a 4feet la. Mine's a 3 feet and my return is 2400L, Sometimes still think not enuff...

Haha! No rocket boosters. Work out ma, keep fit. Hate the idea of gymming on weekends so this is a better alternative lo. As mentioned, being a Nocturnal feeder smaller fishes and shrimps may be in danger. I've seen one catching a cornered damsel. MAN, you'll be shock at the speed it can move its claws. In my humble opinion... (Just say say...) Good in a species tank with more robust corals. Or bigger fishes (Means bigger then it is.)

Too late for that bros. All my fishes wiped out leaving one surviving YT. Caught it and left it in my isolation tank. Not feeding at all, belly looks bloated. Will begin the copper treatment hope its not too late. My tank is now clear of fishes. Only my shrimps and my LPSs. Gonna maintain weekly 25L water changes and wait out a couple of months b4 even thinkin of adding any fishes... Will try to post some updated pics soon. Hope my YT recovers.

I hope so bro. Its not abt the amount of money i spent on my fishes, its more on attachment since some that died been with me for more then a year (Esp the pair of clownfishes). Been really down these few days. Cant even sleep well without totally tiring myself out during the day. Kinda stupid i know but i believe some reefers out there share the same emotions. Looking at my tank now, Well.. i can say that its more or less what i always wanted as a kid. I remember dreaming abt setting up a marine tank some 5yrs ago when i first set my eyes on an emperor angel. (Which i cant keep now due to my corals...talk abt life being ironic....) And yet now my fishes are dropping off like flies... Really sad. Haiz.

Garlic soaked krill, market prawns. Cyclopeze flakes, and marco aglea which i bought and is growing on the balcony in a spare plastic tank. Somehow everyday eating less and less.. Itch getting worst and worst... Seems like everything is lop sided and kept swinging... In my previous tank always have a hard time keeping parameters right for corals, fishes i have always did great. Now the CORALS are doing fine with the MH and chiller and my fishes kept dying.

Yeah haha, cycling there tell me abt it. Where do u live? i cycle there from bedok, man... if not for the packs of ice in my backpac, go home can have seafood dinner liao. Its called a purple reef lobster i believe.. Ironically not a good idea if yur intending to set it free in a reef setting. Better for a fish only system.

Some of my corals. Again excuse the lousy shots. Not fully expanded.

Manage to take some pictures today. Not much. Full tank shot in actnics. Fishes all sleeping.
