Thanks

Hey bro loster, Yeah cycle completed. Had Moved all the fishes and corals to the tank. Seems like things kept going wrong... Sorry bro the prata didnt survive the move from my 2feet to the holding tank. Was doin and feeding fine till i moved it then it simply refused to feed then started to contract tightly but the rest of my pratas and LPS are doing fine. Dont understand too. So Sorry to disappoint u bro.. My Powder black and boxfish also died. Bad case of itch. Both fishes did well for abt 3 weeks in my isolation tank and recovered at first from an initial bout of itch. After introducing it to my main tank last weekend, kanna again, then recovered Last few days got it again BIG TIME. Yesterday was still feeding, this morning discovered their lifeless bodies on the sand bed... Its never abt money but the amount of effort and attachment and also questions my reef keeping skill. Still couldnt accept that suddenly everything decide to go over such a short period of time. Water parameters still as the last time i checked. YT PT and the 2 clownfishes are also having spots but still behaving normally and feeding well. Seemed like its gonna be a gloomy sunday for me. The dark skies and the sound of thunder seems to make it worst. My biggest case of disappointment yet. Just hope that the rest of the fishes recovers.

From my experience... My tangs did the "monkey see,monkey do" method. When they see other fishes eat, being closet pigs chances are, they will try out as well. After making sure they are feeding well on the food i want them to eat, i only offer seaweeds one feeding or once every two days if i can remember. And Garlic helps tons! In keeping itch at bay and getting them to eat.

Really nice tank bro. Wanna ask if its ok that u had left the zoos out in the open in full glare of yur MH? Mine's a 150w, Wonder if its ok if i placed it halfway up the tank on the rocks.

No need to spray anything on the algae la. The fishes will recognise it as food naturally. Might work for angels too... dunno havent tried.

HAHA! Really!!! it works for me la. My theory is that if the fish is curious and interested in the things ard it then most prob it'll be in good health and will explore the food i put in its tank lo.

Where to colect bro?

Macro on a rock will work like a charm. But provided the fish is not shocked of bullied la... I always resist the temptation to buy untill i find a fish that is feeding at the shop and will follow my finger ard when i play with it at the surface..

Saw a few at coral farm. Beautiful color and very tame abt 8-9" plus in length. Dunno the price but if u got the time and have transport. can go see see.

HAHAHAHA! Paiseh... < >... Actually wanted to do = but dunno why fingers and brain dont connect. Thanks Blue heaven. Hmmm seems like i have one least parameters to worry abt.

WHat LS do u have left bro.

HAHA! Glad to hear that its "normal". Was thinkin that they could be confuse of something like that. Been kinda quiet. Checked my parameters. NO3 > 10 PH > 8.3 (Any idea how to raise it to 8.4?) Temp > 27 These are abt the parameters i check. Weekly 20L water changes. (One big red pail.) Till my parameters stablise more... Powder black tang recovering from itch. Now left a few spots on the pectoral fins, Hope they clear up soon... Having the idea of getting firegobies and royal gramma/blackcap (Depends on which one i come across first...) Any idea if they would be good buds? Thinking of a "blue" fish too... Blue devil... out Powder blue tang... With my powder black? Hmm WW3? Blue tang... somehow dont like them... No idea liao. BTW have a pair of cleaners to let. See anyone interested can pm me. WIll do an update of pictures this weekend. Now working late Lights out by the time i come home...

Havent really heard of a chiller by jebo... But i suggest getting a more powerful (Bigger la..) chiller now, just... in case u planned to upgrade yur tank in the near future. And trust me u dont want anything thats underpower, u'll jump when u get the monthly pub bill... Not to mention jumping up and down when yur room gets sauna hot since it'll prob be on the whole day.

Eh Haanzii come first ah me might be interested in teh rocks too... HAHA u still not enuff rocks ah?

Yeah fat and big... even one of my clowns decide to adopt it as a host... All sleeping now. Just got my pump. Gonna fix up the chiller and MH this weekend. Cheers Bros and sis... HAPPY NATIONAL DAY YA>

Interested in the Orange shoulder. would be great if u hav a pic and advice on where to collect.

Any bro know the opening and closing time of Gold COast along macpherson? Seemed to be always close leh...

Just went to Coral farm and back. Got myself a BEAUTIFUL colony of Zoos at an incredible price! WIll take pic later coz not open after the FW bath... One small white urchin. Into my tank MIA liao. Hidding in teh rocks i believe. Got myself 3 big fan worms too... almost the size of my open plam, Cant resist. And the biggest of the lot.

Left view. What u see when u step into my house... erm.. excuse the background yeah? Alot of open sand bed... thats what i like. the tank now is lit by my 2x 2ft T5. QUite bright... imagine the amount of money i'll save if i were to go fish only... Reason for not having the MH up yet is coz i havent hook up the chiller. Havent found a pump yet...

2nd Week of cycling... After the "TRAGIC" mistake of rearranging my rockscape.... Tried my best to put it back together. Wanted the right pile to be taller though... Front view.

Aiyoh... Bro loster! U need my help ah? Sure or not? Can... i want a frag of that purple favia in return....

HAHA! Free meh... Can no prob. Replied in yur thread liao... HAHA! Eh later really end up looking like my rockscape ah..

Yeah! Felt like kicking myself in the head! But now, looks ok la.. prob wot touch it again UNLESS i REALLY need too!

HAHAHA!
