nicer angle but can see an obvious slice mark ...must be from the sailfin... really eat too full, nothing else better to do...chase each other around.. sailfin and sohal providing entertainment for the rest of the fishes in the tank

sigh.. the irritating sohal that's keeps chasing my sailfin

yo bros, those who have been following my AT's progress, do you think my AT is developing streamers? especially at the top end of the tail fin means this piece is a male hor

one of the bartletts with *antenna*... hope it can colour to an alpha male

sorry..abit blur...

damn cool blackcap.... defying his natural tendency to hide and hangs out in the water column most of the time

fresh off the cam again, my blackcaps

lol... yeah...not say i never try lah...used to buy a couple of pieces...but coz of the nutrient load, slowly brown up...lol....either in the end give to frens or threw away...so decided not to waste money or waste sps... at least, i cannot be accused of crowding around sps tubs now and depriving reefers here of space to buy corals with my fat butt cannot be greedy....like terry said, hard, not impossible though, to have alot of fishes with sps... for me...fishes are my first love.... next come corals....and since i have big tangs and want to have alot of anthias, i think lps is the best in such nutrient waters irregardless of how powerful a skimmer can get.... sps is nice....i shall not be greedy...when i wanna see colourful sps, i go to other reefer's house to see....hehe sps is picture perfect, static beauty, stuns your senses in their stationary way... but swaying lps, captivates me with their dynamic movement hamann, btw, i dun think you can call me an experienced reefer....otherwise you are going to offend reefers here with decades of experience....i am just a lucky reefer that more or less manage to have my reef tank going my way...so i dare not frequently go around telling people how experienced i am...coz the number of years of experience is probably less than the fingers on your either hand but yeah...if you wanna consider aquatic-based hobby, yeah...i have more than 20 years of experience in such fishy stuff

anything at LCK or CF?

should be either selling both aquaC and H&S away....if not use for other tanks if cannot get good offers

yeah man.... those whitish pinkish rbta...more or less also bleached one.... mine is a living proof... last time fed market prawn when i first got them, but i never feed for a long long time liao...they just depend on light i guess... skimmer ah...in progress lor...maybe next month then can put into use...not sure yet...slow and steady...then wun gabra wun be posting much of the skimmer also lah..maybe just post the foam chamber and skimmate next time...see how...will update accordingly

weileong, now finally u can snore louder than the tank....lol... congrats on your fast work done on fixing the red dragon up...hehe patrick, weileong needs a 2nd red dragon to run his skimmer meh? his skimmer has a red dragon built in mah hor... oooooops...say wrong things...

had the honour to visit deepblue and see his tank just now, wow, eye feast sia....simply awesome also da bao some candies home....bo bian..i have a sweet tooth

i realised not as swee as my fren's one...his one is super solid... like this... his is alpha male i think, got antenna one maybe i also got one antenna one from this shipment..not too sure....

got a couple of them swimming as u see in the tank pic lor...close up not easy to take as they are still quite finicky....trying to blend in with the other fishes....let me see if i can dig out one... ok..here u go..a bartlett with a dispar seriously no more feeding 5 to 6 times a day even when my new skimmer is here, coz end up my tangs eat more and more and get larger faster, i want to keep them longer before they get too large, so must not feed too much.... and i guess one of the easier anthias to keep with less feedings are bartletts... dispars also less demanding, but i still prefer bartletts, but they dun seem to be the kind to like to school together....they seem rather boisterous...lol nonetheless, when i build up their population, we all shall see if bartletts do indeed school together but my guess is that they will not school together as compactly and organised as my previous queens, but...we shall see....we shall see

sure...few months back....maybe half a year ago... alot of red pratas, red brains, even blastos.... or maybe it's just me, i keep seeing red things around.... hope not blood though

only added a few bartletts during this ML shipment... the rest of the anthias were those that survived the holocaust of reduced feedings...lol some hiding in the rocks, dens..... regret because both are the same thing....i would safely say they grew to 3 times their original size..... u wanna see how one of it look like when i first got it? one of it looked like this

hamann: yeah.....that time bought alot of red stuff, dun worry, such stuff almost seasonal one....sometimes so many until u dun wanna buy...hehe

i regret putting 2.....feel like taking the left one out...but its foot is firmly planted to the back of the rocks...dun feel like tearing down the rocks....sigh...

hamann: here is the tank pic now, taken for you just seconds ago...lol... never clean glass and scrape algae off the backwall...paiseh..hehe now u can see the left and right rbta

yeah lor.... unless wanna see white bubbles again...put in dark area for some time and viola....bleach again...white bubbles...lol...but neh...dun wanna do that..lol my 2 rbta never move around....more or less around the same spot since i started the tank last year......the right one is very obedient.... the left one is still ok, but it sometimes chooses to extend its tentacles from diffferent crevices.... both plant their foot in the dark area behind the live rocks and then extend out to face the light at day... at night, they retract back to the darkness....it's their routine movement everyday..

yeah lor...very few white corals around one.... that why those translucent white looking meaty corals more or less is bleached ones... i bought white bubbles last year....in a few months..turned brown...lol.. so i came to the conclusion probably no such things as white bubbles..hehe

milky white colour...very light tinge of biege
