Couldn't make it in time for the Pinnacle shipment as I was busy with Christmas shopping or else I would have met you there. Yeah, heard that this shipment wasn't that good. It's either the corals are depleting with all the harvesting or you were there I believe it's the former la. Anyway, will see you for the next shipment.

Hi Desi. Clams are such a nice addition to our aquariums. Do post a pic of your clam too!

Seldom see such nice squamosa clams! Hwee Bin is back but he still travels at time. Yup, he has an eye for gems; my mentor where reefing is concerned.

Sorry...all who replied earlier whom I agreed to reserve. I rather deal with 1 person so hope you understand. All SPS reserved for tht79 till Tues. Still left a mini carpet - $15. Anyone?

Not forgetting 2 aqua cultured maximas My latest FTS with the clams. The big clam is the centre pc of my tank now

Was lucky to pick up these Squamosas . Kudos to Drato for helping to pick them up. Only have space for 2 in my tank.

Cedric, You are the sps dr... Always afraid to step into your house. Everything is so tempting. I'm running on 4 tubes right now so need to get the other 2 tubes working first before I try that frag again. Tks!

Hi Desi. Thanks for popping by my thread. Glad that you're back! In this hobby, it's good to talk with people who love different things. I'm sure, I'll see a few sticks in your tank pretty soon. Try montis. I can pass you a small frag to try.

1. Mini colony of yellow bird nest - $25 (size abt 3.5" x 2.5") Smaller frags - $10 each 2. Pink bird nest - $10 (2 frags as shown only) 3. Pink Milli on a frag plug - $15 (6 sticks on a frag plug) Pic of mother colony 4. Pink / cream Milli - $20 5. Red Milli on a frag plug - $20 (7 sticks on a frag plug) Sorry, can't get a decent pic of it. Have kept it for a mth on the frag plug 6. Mini carpet - $15 I am open to trade as well . Collection will be at Depot Rd. SMS me at 81117171.

Yup, you can say that again. Thanks so much for helping to baby sit some of my sps and due to your TLC, saved quite a few of my montis. Without your help, I would have started from scratch. I had a bad battle with hair algae which wiped out almost my entire sps collection. I basically re-started my tank. These were the 3 of my favourite sps (purple polyp on yellow base monti, purple milli, blue stag) which I lost and did not manage to find them back again. The monti and milli were from Drato.

In Dec 08, I've decided to re-scape to get a new look and to turn it into a SPS reef tank. Dec 08 & Jan 09 FTS In Sept 08, I got this tri colour Valida from Wei Soon. I was not able to hold it's colour so I quickly passed it to Drato to baby sit it. He was able to bring back the colours but not the intense purple when it was in Wei Soon's tank. Just curious to know if any reefers have managed to hold the intense purple? In Wei Soon's tank, he put it as close to his lights as possible (return pipe or top of overflow). FTS for Mar, May and Aug 09

Yup, the Ehim 1250 pump is working fine as my kalk stirer. Tks Larry! I hope the tank thread will help to widen my circle of friends in the reefing community .

Yup, will usually leave my top real estate for the more light and flow demanding sps like millis and acros. Agreed that frags would provide variety but colonies give that natural feel so in my opinion, I would get a few mini colonies as well. That pic is not my latest fts as it was dated jul 08. Akan datang... Would want to document my tank thread in chronological order.

Hi klyve. Learnt rockscaping from my Si Fu. I changed the scape 2x due to different reasons. The first was changing from lps to sps and the second was due to an algae outbreak which wiped out most of my sps. Glad to hear that the ws valida is coloring up in yr tank. I usually stay away from ws shipment as I can't retain the colours of those acros with just using 6 tubes of t5. The yellow acro is from Gchoo. Heard from him that it's a rare pc. When he came my house the other day, he was enquiring about it and I told him I gave to a reefer who was using mh. Do post a pic of them if u have the time

Hi Edwin. During my lps days. I absolutely love sunnies! Would buy frozen cyclo to target feed them. However, have to given them all out once I went into sps. Can't afford to pollute the tank. You're so right about having a thing with meaty corals. Even till now, I left the front portion of my sandbed for these doughnut corals-scolymia vitiensis, cynarina and trachyphyllia. To each it's own. My selection of corals and fishes are skewed towards certain species.

Yup, Lemon. Still remembered our meeting. I've torn down the algae scrubber in that white bucket. Too lazy to maintain it. It was quite a good nutrient export I must say. If I ever have another tank again, I would design it with a refugium in mind. My black clowns and black cap are still around.

Since I have a bit of time on my hands now, thought I should start my own tank thread. I'm not sure how committed I'll be updating it though. My reason of doing this is hopefully to know more reefers in the community. Being a scuba diver, I've always love the ocean and marine creatures found below - so fascinating and peaceful. When my hubby and I moved into our new home, there was a space which we didn't know what to do with. I managed to convince him to put a marine fish tank. This was the start of my journey. We started off with a 4x2x2 tank designed and built by one of the sponsors (shan't mention names). To cut the long story short, that tank did not work out in the end and I dismantled it after 2 years. Notice that the "we" has become an "I" Anyway, after taking a short break, I came back with to a smaller size tank. With 2 years of reefing knowledge, I was better prepared to plan for this tank. However, I must say that we will never be satisfied with our tanks and we will never get our dream tank. On 15 Dec 07, the tank was delivered. I designed this tank to keep LPS and fishes. No more Tangs. I cycled for about 1+ mth before slowly adding back my corals. To fast forward, this is a pic of my tank in Apr 08. In Jul 08, a friend by the name of Drato, influenced me towards keeping SPS (also know as the dark side). He is my "si fu" with regards to keeping SPS. You can see a few "sticks" in the below FTS. That's all for now. Will continue my story another day... Oh ya... forgot to add some bio data... Tank display size: 3 ft x 28”x 24”. 12mm thick Tank Age: 3 years (to date) Tank Equipment (To date): ATI 6 tubes Powermodule mounted on light mounting rail Deltec 850 Skimmer with an Ehim 1260 feeding pump Deltec PF501 Ca reactor with a Milwaukie PH controller fed by an Ehim 1250 tee off to FR unit as well Skimz FR with Rowa Phos media, changed every 2-3 months Modified Kalk reactor with skimz body connected to water top up unit Return pump is an Ehim 1264 Artica 1/5 chiller with an Ehim 1262 feeding water back to the tank Wavemakers: Tunze 6085 and 6055 with single controller Using GF pipings
