  1. Like your overflow box design! Not 1 but 2!!! lol
  2. 1/5 of the price?!? Wow... I must say very worth it leh!!! Looks like a female of the Maldives... if they are to swim together... can look like a stunning pair
  3. Agree... with that sleek look, I also very tempted to go all T5. Perhaps one day, they come up with T5 that can rival MH watt per watt. Can you control the T5s separately? Wah... talking about your 6ft already Shh... don't mention 6ft and HDB together... they may have spies everywhere Al least you can fit the 2 together... for me... I will have to look for a new home first... then only can think about a larger tank. Looking at my current study room, if I move things around (and remove some furnitures)... maybe can fit a 5ft tank.
  4. Have to agree it's very compact and sleek. Love the perforated aluminium feel... nice. Are you happy with the lighting effect? Em... no Atinic?
  5. So how many T5 tubes u got there? U replaced the tubes or using Aquaflux. Tell me what you think about Aqualux tubes... whether got difference or not. Don't get me wrong, not suggesting you upgrade tubes. So I'm the only one now with uneven lighting... lol
  6. T5?!? That is a neat fixture btw, I think bro Hammy is very very happy with his Solite T5. So what are you gonna do with your single MH?
  7. I am still trying to find live aquapod, wanna dump some in my refugium and let them multiply. Will they? You can try Live Brine Shrimp from LFS, normally $1.50 to $2 a pack. I only feed my tank once with LBS and all my LS love it!!! Just need to find a way to keep the LBS alive longer so that I can slowly feed them throughout the week.
  8. Hi Jem, Thanks for your advice. But as proven by your 4ft tank, time is not the only essence, 3 LS a month... still die. Yes patience is one factor, but there are so many others incl. luck! lol. I'm always the lucky one... see if this luck will be with me along the way Will still keep to beginners LS for the next couple of months... that will minimize the chances of a disaster. I will also continue to keep Nano fishes, like seeing tiny fishes swimming in a 3ft... makes the tank looks so huge!!! Agree... diseases, aggression, territory... etc. That's why I always go for very "safe" kind of LS. Those that you can find in almost every tank
  9. My Alveopora is about 2 month old now... I bought this tiny frag for my Nano setup... yesterday noticed sump lumps in the skeleton, so I guess it's growing... no sign of "poor health" on this specimen... crossing my fingers as it is one of the most beautiful corals in my tank
  10. Wah bro... you really a perfectionist... I think I will leave it as it is for the time being... until I'm ready for SPS, then will rescape the top portion. Other than that, I'm happy
  11. Yeah sometimes it's very hard to spot them eating... maybe u wanna look out for their "poo". I just saw mine "pooing", so that can also be an indication that the Mandarin is eating behind your back
  12. I bought the Chaetomorpha from a bro. Check Pasar Malam as I often come across bros selling extra Chaetos. Em... no particular training method. Probably I chosen a good specimen, coz I bought this from Irwana, was there during feeding time, so I spotted this guy... eating like a pig. But they only take those left behind pellets on the sand bed. But this guy prefers brine and mysis
  13. Looking at the Perc90 right now... this is way beyond my wildest dream... although it is still very amateurish looking, it's my pride and joy... once again, I must all the bros that stopped me from buying a 2ft tank. I was "this" close to making payment for it... Not saying 2ft is not good (later "kena" flame) but definitely too small an upgrade from my Nano. I can sleep soundly tonight... knowing that my beautiful Perc 90 will greet me tomorrow morning
  14. Anyone? Can't afford a new one already Prefer to be in complete set as I am a dummy when it comes to looking for parts and DIY
  15. Sorry bro Melvyn, I was all wet... so decided not to pick up any calls today. You know... when it comes to scaping... everything else is a distraction Can call me tomorrow? Anytime
  16. Last pic of the day... my favourite corner... Alveopora is so so mesmerizing... love it! But love bro Qxnviolet's Green Alveopora more
  17. Switched off the MH... now back to 2 T5... nice nice clam
  18. Well... at least the Sun is opening (after a feeding session using Cyclopeeze)
  19. Wah another wrasse!!! There's a large specimen in AM's show tank. Nice nice nice
  20. A closer look at the 1st and 2nd cavern... looking in from the right side... the 1st cave (from the left) is the largest, leading all the way to the back of tank. The 2nd cave is much narrower but very shallow coz there's a supporting rock at the back. My 2 Cleaner Shrimps alread conquered the 2nd cave. The LR are not epoxied/glued. However, they are very stable and sturdy as I spent a lot of time fixing them... like playing jigsaw puzzle. Definitely more improvements to be done... but I will learn along the way... perhaps a new inspiration somewhere down the line... Now, when I look back at my first scaping attempt Need to all the bros that highlighted to me the need to seriously relook at my first rock formation.
  21. Hehe bro Soon, notice you removed your avatar... hehe... r u looking for something more
  22. Nope... thanks for the invitation. I really need to save up for my Nitratreductor before Nitrate gets out of hand. So must practice yoga... Update me lah... looking at photos is better than nothing
  23. Bro Alien07, no New Tank Syndrome yet... no time for that Well, although mine is a new tank setup, basically most of the stuff are from existing tanks. So perhaps that will minimize the chances of such syndrome a little. Furthermore, I have great faith in the equipments I introduced to the system. With more coming... the tank will be more and more stable. But yes, I will keep an eye for any sign of distress. I am impatient but I am also very committed. It's a good balance I believe
  24. Too bad I can't join u guys... we go LFS shopping 3 months later?
