ah..very good shot

oh yeah..slight mixed up.. but that means algae scrubber tends to be a refugium as well, but refugium may not be a good algae scrubber if too little suitable macroalgae are used and the size is too small in proportion to the tank size?

hmm..but i always thought a refugium will help strip the water of remaining nutrients/wastes that the skimming process could not capture but then again, i know nothing about sps

will he pass the CAP test?

this morning saw my AT with a 5mm slash mark on the body...must have been the yellow tang again..thought things were normal already... but when the lights went off last night and the other fishes were sleeping, the yellow tang chased AT when AT swam near his sleeping spot....geez...

definitely u should

Territoriality in these species dictates that they be safely kept one to a tank... unless you can buy 'known pairs', or have a five or six foot plus wide system. Each individual needs about a half yard of bottom. If you intend to try your luck with more than one to a tank, by all means place them all at once.

The single most important 'tip' on picking Grammas I can grant you is to be patient; wait a good week or two after your supplier receives theirs to purchase them. For tank-raised individuals, this brief period will allow acclimation to aquarium conditions and virtually eliminate incidental losses. Freshly imported caught specimens way too often suffer from post-decompression stress... and something else; the ill-effects of chemical tranquilizing. Florida outlaws the use of quinaldine and MS-222 (tricaine) but their use in other capture areas of the Caribbean is pervasive. Though not the scourge of cyanide use, there is decidedly higher mortalities associated with true anesthetic versus 'pure' hand netting. How to tell which type of capture technique has been used? You can't; just wait for a week or two. Trust me. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/grammas.htm i think after this weekend...no more liao...haha.. where can wait for 2 weeks?

i think you should... choose personally better...it's not very cheap...better choose the gramma of your eyes

blackcaps blackcaps here i come

wah...bought at $50? hehe

hehe..my royal gramma has made a hole in a live rock his home on the left middle side of the tank...maybe if get the blackcap, i net him and place the net towards the right side for him to swim out...so that he doesn't swim straight towards the royal's side

haha.... no lah...i also scared fight with my royal gramma...see how....i try to tahan...scared their eight characters clash if i put in a black cap also..lol maybe i console my royal gramma that the black cap is alpha alphamale purple queen lor...so pacify him abit...

left this pic out in the evening

yeah lor..no money liao.. tomorrow buy a school of black caps mah kidding lah

bro.... wah...near full capacity for sps liao ah...seems like not alot of space left leh....time for tank upgrade?

never mind...next time get it under day lighting period..hehe now u understand the difficulty, if it decides to swim behind the rocks, then it is called impossible to capture....

actually the black caps look like male purple queens with a black streak on their heads... nice....
