if nobody minds me saying.... that guys an idiot. PERIOD . a utter disgrace to singapore by and large. he should be banned from this forum for such conduct. if he does it in that forum, no reason why he wont do it elsewhere, succeed, then sell the illegally bought corals/fish and sell it to reefers here, inevitably turning sg reefclub into a black market hot spot. i hope mod realize how serious this is and take appropriate action.

perhaps if you can give more detials as to what 'behaving weirdly' means? if fishes are swimming at surface gulping for air then most prob is lack of oxygen. is that it?

just wana add that octopus are escape artists. careful not to let them go into overflow, down into sump where they might die... and as bro weesy74 said, mimic octo needs large swimming area... better to get normal reef octos that are more accustomed to reef scapes..

1st layer of sandbed is original white sand... i evened it out, placed live rocks, filled back portion with coral chips. front portion i covered with about 1 " black sand.... however.. when water was delivered, they messed up sandbed.. sob.... it was too diff to redo the whole sandscape so i let it be....... tank when havent filled with water was really beautiful... black base would have really brought out colors of corals....oh well.. so far my maroon still good boy.. no messing with corals... but displaying some very interesting behaviours.. the bigger maroon will rush towards the smaller one.... only to stop right in front of small maroon.. small maroon will then frantically flap fins and 'kiss' ( mouth at the gills and nibble !!! ) big maroon.. very cute... happens at least dozen times day...... wonder what it means....

tank still relatively new so coralline not yet in full motion... am running cr and dosing kalk every week to maintain calcium level.. but i dun keep that many sps...so should not be depleted so fast right? i just bought some turbo snails...5 to be exact.. will monitor to see if they can handle the job.. if cant them more snails and definitely a FR. my wish list is simple.. but previous experience in keeping tangs very horrible hence really want to buy matured fish from bros online..... dun wana kill anymore fish.....

thnx for the head up... did not know that this green algae sticks to stuff.... bought it from iwarna cos wanted some flowy greens in tank.... will either reposition things or remove altogether..... in any case is it harmful to the clams or other corals if they are surrounded by this green algae??

i would just like to add that although i know maroon clowns when big do silly things like knocking corals off....my 2 maroons are still small so havent encountered that.. but im sure when that day comes.. it will be a very tough decision to give them away.... THEY EAT FROM MY HAND @!!@!@!!@ how cute is that... ive put my hands in soooooooooooooo much that they've gotten use to it already.... now whenever i put my hand in.. they think its got food and swim lazily towards my fingers....adorable... will definitely try to get apic of this though it will be hard...standing on ladder.. one hand in tank.. body bend over.. other hand with camera remaining steady.... will most prob keep them no matter what.. even if they knock XXX corals over..... :P

currently the livestock in the tank are as follows 2 X maroon clowns 1 X neon goby 1 X fire goby 1X yellow wrasse 4 X cleaner shrimp 1 X box shrimp 4 X sexy shrimp 2 X red starfish 1 X pink striped brittle starfish am intending to get the following livestock very soon 1 X yellow tang 1 X purple tang 1 X blue tang 2 X ocelleris clown 2 X black clown 2 X mandarin 1 X firegoby ( to pair up! ) 1 X powder blue tang 1 X long nose hawkfish any reefers that have my wishlist for sale pls pm me !!!!!!! equipment wise intend to get a fr to run rowa.... po4 is not gettin good.... thats all for now... time for work....to sustain my hobby

red speckled prata... was told that most reefers prefer the solid color pratas... i like them with dots !!! love the tiny white tips.... here another fts from side angle...

the super ex but super beautiful red gonio... love corals that sway..... this mayb cheap and relatively colorless but its one of my fav corals due to the pulsing movement.....
