2 more pics of him before he go explore the rockworks...

still the same, feel guilty for not giving it a bigger tank... it swims very strongly and steadily, seems to have shaken off superficial ich, but may have some internal ich. but glad it is still eating well as of today as well

working fine, posted pics of it in my thread part1 before, dun wanna waste more bandwidth by reposting old pics..hehe it's something like a korallin CR, with some improvements.

yeap.. it's my sunburst

purple on the rocks are due to coraline algae.. and i have alot of purple queens to add purple to the tank...

great bro.. now u should take the chance to feed the fishes... firstly, distract the other fishes, secondly, see if he eats just as well as just now

i tot u know the way, so when left lck, let u lead the way..hehe.. never mind lah...at least u also keep me in rear view when u lead, but when i took over , i always make sure you appear in my rear view mirrow...dun worry, wun leave u there alone... last time i also get lost, just like you. nothing to be paiseh..hehe in fact only after following morgan one trip, then i know the right-turns rule and left-turns rule..hehe eh..dun play play...your one is power also leh....

the real McCoy dark slit not obvious..but it's there....hehe

no need to thank me, it was pretty obvious which one is the nicest there..hehe but u gotta thank me for stopping at the junction where u went straight..till u look at your rear view mirror and realised that i angled myself at the junction and stopped to let you know the way...hehe.. if not u go straight i also dunno end up where

haha

really peppermint shrimps ah bro... many guys will AWOL and chiong down now..haha who wanna go now? haha

yeah, i din add my H&S to my ev for no reason...hehe but weileong your tank no so nutrient laden, no need worry so much lah.

haha..wah liew...but the foam tower mainly brings foam up also can grow ah...wah liew...really power...lol... never knew foam can grow coraline also....yeah hor..foam also can contain water with high calcium/dkh hor..hehe learn something new today also..haha anyway, very hard to test if blowoff will decrease efficiency. it is easy to test effluent properties before you plug into the john guest... but the actual effluent properties after going thru the skimmer is something that very hard to test.... unless, you take 2 tanks with no calcium consumption, meaning tank with no corals/fishes one tank u use normal drip and the other go thru your ev240 to blowoff... then take the readings regularly to see if got difference... but too troublesome lah....haha just keep to what you are doing lor..anyway, as long can maintain your calcium needs can liao...hehe

yeah...wanted to say that also... but can't find the article that i read.. so i din mention it..hehe something to the effect that too high a blowoff will have a reverse effect on the effluent...something like premature precipitation..the article actually recommend normal dripping...

yeah..i think the john guest draws air in even when nothing is plugged there...probably why u prefer to plug it to get a consistent air draw hehe...wait till u have to scrub coraline algae out of the internals then u know...lol... but then again, it's quite black...so maybe cant grow coraline algae? no need worry ozone lah, use now and then, wun damage the system one. now i only use when i add new fish, after new fish adapts, then i unhook it. just a prevention against losing the new fish and existing livestock, whether it really works or not, cannot tell also, but at least mind can relax abit knowing that anything that can be done has been done, the rest up to fate...lol.. a few others are using it also, no complains from them yet also..hehe

bro, u put the effluent into the john guest fitting ah, i let it drip normaly into the water because i scared drip into the john guest fitting will make the internals of the skimmer start to calcify due to the high localised properties...hehe with your 2nd chamber you dun have to worry about output ph pulling down your ph too much... in fact before i use my CR and after, i dun notice much ph depression also. and another reason i dun plug into the john guest coz i reserve the hole for my ozone hook up when i need it...hehe

mine had recirulation feature right from day 1,though not from joe, but he's a nice chap it's cool to see the bubble being recirculated though, great add on feature for the reactors

haha, thanks. anyway, i think its a waste of money coz it's too afraid to swim out in the open coz of the other more boisterous fishes. now wanna take pic of it also cannot....can only see it hiding in the shadows. in fact sometimes a few days never see it, then the next day will see it lurking around..and i will breathe a sigh of relief that it's still there.

bro deepblue.. take more pics of your madam cleaning your tank also leh.. eh seriously, i would love to see all the triggers in her tank....post leh ..with your new cam

white balance..hehe some WB make my tank more yellow than wat my eyes see, some WB make it more blue and dark... i choose the one closest to what my eyes see, but still abit leaning to blue side but i dun care lah..as long sharp and clear can liao

yeah... coz i think i used the same WB all the way, so holding the colour hue constant, i can also notice the rocks does have coraline growth compared to the beginning

yeah hor..tat reminds me, i better turn it off next time when she cleans.. but then again..she wun know where to clean properly...haha never mind lah...use more skII if get sunburn...lol

thanks bro... my cam can't capture RAW if i am not wrong...or can it? lol it's a sony v1. anyway, no need to make until so pro lah.. as long pictures sharp and clear...yellow is yellow, black is black...i happy liao

dunno where liao lah...lol

or her cleaning the clamtank? lol
