12/09/14 As usual, a FTV to start of the update. http://youtu.be/I-75OJxx3ws Added what I considered the last piece of my equipment puzzle, a TLF phobans 150 FR. (Depending on how my current filters performs, might consider doing an ATS in the HOD filter). Also bought a few fishes and coral to add more colour varieties to my tank. I have never been a big fan of ricordea, blasto, acan, etc but I guess I am learning to appreciate non-swaying coral more now --- using them to fill gaps between swaying coral. On a final note, feeling a bit happily sad as clearly I am approaching the end of stocking phase of my tank and the next phase: maintaining (read: cannot buy LS anymore) would be equally challenging but surely wont be anywhere near as exciting. On a final final note, the mightly god of reef, please, just let me add a lemonpeel angel successfully and I should call it all check boxes checked. New family members Red Blasto Yellow Ricordea Japanese Sun (this one is really hard to come by...) Mini clam Yellow Tubeworm

Sure sure. I am one bus stop away from mrt station. PM me to arrange then. Just note that i am traveling for two weeks from 21/09. So any day before that is fine. [emoji41]

I am located at punggol. If conv to you, i can pass you some samples for your fish to try try before you decide which type to buy. I suspect giving the amount my fish eat, very soon i might have to help them eat pallets liao...

I dont see any marine fish picture on your bottle, so i think best not to feed. For pallets, i personally use ocean nutrition formula one and two, doctor cannot remember what garlic pallet, first bite reef pallets... and i mix all these into an air tight container so everytime i feed/ auto feeder there are some floating pallets some sinking pallets some slow sinking pallets...

If i recall correctly, it is the third or fourth gate from the end of the road. There is a signature "T95 marine" at the entrance.

I think good light set and flow is just as important.

Forgot to say, tangs and some others fish like marine alage sheet too

Try rotating as many diff types of food as possible pallets flake frozen food. Best if those with garlic types.

Ng couple. Nice owner nice price. Only drawback is not net/ credit card avail at the shop. One of the rare shops that actually willing to aaa bbb ccc upon my request.

I dont see any lemonpeel at T95 just now...

Can da bao some for my mandrain fish? [emoji23]

Copepod?

I use seachem prime with tapwater but i let the mixed saltwater run for few days before water change. Touch wood, so far so good for my mixed reef.

I used live rock when i started cycling my tank instead of dead rock. Reason being I want to keep the bateria and living organism in them. And if there is any pest, there wont be a better timing to learn to handle them than during the cycling phase.

Butterfly ah beng have. flame angel oso but not the one inch flame angel

Let the cycling continue for few more weeks. Keep testing your ANN till you get 0 0 <20 before adding any LS. Your light might not be strong enough for anemone tho. And pay attention to the flow rate too.

I dont understand. Electric current will always travel the least resistant path, which is the earth/ ground that you are buying. So in theory, if there is a faulty equip, next thing is short circuit and there will be a power trip. Thats all, no fish will die de.... Hope my physic teacher did teach me the correct theory tho...

Dont worry too much. Once you are on the road, you would be able to visit any LFS during working hours while i can only look at the picture on the net...

http://freshnmarine.com.sg/estore/product_info.php?products_id=317 You might want to consider this for the time being

I recently purchased a TLF phobans 150 FR, been running it with chemipure elite AC. Tempted to put bio-sphere instead of AC/ GFO in it. Just to find out from bros and sis here, what do you put inside your FR and your feedback?

Secured new job liao?

Saw some at pacific reef ah beng yesterday. Call to confirm.

Look on the bright side, can allocate next few weeks as coral buying weeks lah [emoji3]

Super nice powerful tank and coral loh. How i check the clarity of the water is put an open book on one side of the tank and go read it from the othrr side... if you cant see the wordings, then it is either the water or the glasses need to be changed... [emoji317]

I faint. Bred the fish, not nice = sell as feeder, nice = sell high price. There are already enough beautiful fish out there, why want to play god and "design" some clownfish that are so odd looking... to me at least...
