Spent 15 minutes looking for a lost baby clam this morning Was crossing my fingers not to find the empty shells 1ft away (giant predator ) Luckily found it hidden within the rock beneath... phew Must've knocked down by a snail or hermit... repositioned this little guy (far right in pix below)... this time even nicer location Must mention that I didn't apply a lot of glue... just a tiny bit to hold it temporarily to the spot... I only applied it to the side of 1 shell, not both... or they will have difficulty opening/expanding Avoid the bottom part as the superglue can be corrosive Of course the best is to let them mount to the rock naturally... but in my case... I have too many cleaning crews around... and a 1 1/2ft fall to the sand bed facing down during the weekends will do much more harm.

Thanks bro

Last pix of the night... purple coralline is growing on my Tunze Wavebox Dunno why I am not happy at all... will try to scrap them off

Also got this today... considered a GEM? :blink:

Nah... will go slow on RED corals as the demand is very high now

Although quite small a specimen... but can already see it's impact... suddenly my Red Mushrooms don't seem to be so red after all

Went to AM Katong this afternoon... see what I got for myself The colour is so intense

Milleporas are not too difficult to keep... but maintaining some rare colours is a great task... bro Vandeam you really need a proper camera... we can't see these "Blue tip / Pink Body / Green poly"

Anyone seen any good size RBTA?

Any update?

A BIG mountain next to a SMALL hill :heh:

The Goniopora is reacting positively to my daily feeding so far... extending more and more each day

Daily corals (filter feeders) feeding... lots of hardwork but it's part of the fun

My weekly elements dosing

Oh... sis you only provide your tank 4 hours of T5 + 2 hours of MH? Is it becoz your tank gets a lot of natural sunlight?

Your floor looks sparkling white to me What's your plan next? Acrylic tank?

Yupe... I love Sea Fans But seldom can find colour as intense and rare as yours

Yeah... since I am getting more confident now... all tank inhabitants seem happy and well

Yupe... it's the size of a foot ball and surprisingly extending quite well under the constant pounding from my Wavebox (for 12 hours a day when the Wavebox runs full force)... will try to get some other colours in the coming weeks

Thanks bro... yeah I am very pleased with it actually... really made all the back-breaking effort to restart the tank worth it... now the challenge is how to add more corals without causing visual clutterness... I want the tank to look pleasing and calming... definitely easier said than done (with all the temptations around)

Sun Coral... emm... never really like them actually... I find them demanding too much attention... both manual feeding and visual... they tend to fight hard for attention (like a troubled child)

Emm... I have not really decided really... as I have the MH and the ATI PM T5 on at different intervals (overlapping for 3 hours)... the shadowed area will still get some light throughout the day... perhaps I should keep it empty In a fish tank... empty space is luxury

I been using Aquapharm Bacter Start... you can put it even on top of your filter floss... anywhere with sufficient flow will do... make sure you monitor your skimmer... or just off it for half a day

... and all my tank residents queue up patiently for "carwash" :rolleyes:

Introduced 2 small Cleaner Shrimps yesterday...
