Did a series of test today. Phosphate = 0 Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 0 Calcium = 420 (*slightly low?) dkh = 7 (*low) Ph = 8 (*low)

My 6 ft already decommed 4 years ago lol my tank is getting smaller and smaller. Next one probably 1 ft cube.

In future, if she is in a good mood, her silence then means consent. If she is in a bad moon, ummmm better don't bring this topic up lol

Hey thanks Mit. So much stuff? only rocks & sand lah... hehe Now my girl keeps bugging me to get a fish......

I am getting a monti cap frag next week. meanwhile I have done some read up regarding this species. Here's some abstract from the various sources on the web. ========================== The Monti Cap (montipora capricornis) is one of the mainstays of SPS coral found in reef aquariums. The swirling plates of the coral are unmistakeable, a familiar and appealing growth pattern. Monti Caps are easily fragged for propagation, with broken pieces readily encrusting and starting new growth. Proper flow is necessary for coral to achieve multiple layers characteristic of this morphology. Fast growers, these corals are highly recommended as first corals for new SPS reef tank hobbyists. A wide range of light fixtures ranging from power compacts, VHO, T-5's, to the more intense metal halides can be used for Montipora corals. However, depending on your light fixture, you may need to alter their position in the aquarium to best develop color and form. In an aquarium lit by metal halides, Montipora Corals should be kept in a mid to low position and under other lighting they should be kept in a mid to high position. To bring out the most intense coloration of this coral, we recommend metal halide lighting. For continued good health, they will require the addition of a two part calcium and buffer supplement to maintain a calcium level of 400-450 ppm and dKH of 8-12. They will benefit from the addition of zooplankton. Quick Stats Water conditions: 72-78° F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.023-1.025 Lighting : Moderate WaterFlow: Medium Supplements: Calcium, Strontium, Iodine, Trace Elements

damn my tank not cycled yet

annual wage supplement aka 13th month bonus

wah... then i go and buy 4D with my AWS

Just a simple cover to prevent the firefish from jumping out. hmm dunno why they made the edge matt. damn. does not match right with my tank. hmmm..... Dun think I like the idea of having a cover. Gotta go convince my wife.

FOr a moment, I thought you posted your FTS lol...... almost fell off my chair....

Just back from henkabe. Got my tank cover. Will post some pics later.... after my lunch

K PMed u.

my thoughts is that you can still have a very nice reef with common corals. not necessary need to get the expensive / rare ones always.

I was not able to build a slope from bottom upwards like yours. My rocks kindda could not fit into that model.

The only thing my wife is involve in my tank is admiring it. Cannot let her into details

No corals or fishes to show ..... lol so here comes the rocks.... Some nice coraline.

Wait where is Kim Sotong? Sorry arh... I nvr chiong LFS for quite a few years already.

Well the good thing (or maybe not so good) is that a nano gets filled up easily
