welcome back! external overflow for the win! very nice setup and tank, keen on this tank thread's updates.. hehe..

no worries bro.. actually personally i think a 50-50 is too whitish, and it gets slightly yellowish when ur tubes are old.. i tend to use more blues, to enhance colourations in SPS.. whites have greater PAR values, and promotes more growth.. but i'm more of a 'colours' guy.. some of those in RC who uses more blue tubes actually have nicer SPS colourations, from what i FEEL.. just a personal thought..

try CF.. its ur best bet.. frequently see pbts there, and u can test feed with pellets.. and visually compare for diseases.. good luck!

my tanks still a long way from maturing.. great to chat with u too! sorry for the rush that night! catch up again soon! please bro Eniram, my tank is far cry from that.. dun give me too big a hat. regarding mine and my dad's light tube placement i would need to go home to check because i can't remember offhand, now staying in school.. but i do remember the number of tubes: mine: 4 blueplus 3 aquabluespecial 1 true actinic dad's: 6 blueplus 2 aquabluespecial

long time no see bro, yes finally got time to take pics and post.. thanks thanks.. bro kiko, hows the frags doing? dun follow too closely, as of now no new photos, coz can't seem to capture the colours using my digi cam.. hope the frag is doing well for u.. hi bro, long time no see too, yes using a shared skimmer thats 4ft tall.. old school beckette.. thanks thanks.. i cannot agree more! so many things to learn from u, must visit u more often liao! thanks bro, hope ur nano doing well eh! nano so much harder as compared to large volume.. thumbs up for u! hehe, u still rmb the CRS ah.. i dun have pics of it because its gone liao! decommed that long ago to convert it into holding tank for my SPSes when i decom my previous marine.. if u interested, i can dig up some old pics for u.. i still have pics of my CRS setup..

thank you bro beast13!

when ur new flat comes u can do up 1 time big one too! but have to factor into consideration i have 1 more white tube, and my tubes are all new.. but the difference is still pretty obvious bro cedric, my sps all still small small, nothing impressive here.. thanks for the compliments! greatly appreciated! wa, legendary.. lol.. no la.. just lucky to have good rocks i suppose.. hi CF, yes this fellow is growing considering the rate i feed him.. but still got some ich.. u're right, back with a boomz! not gravity defying la.. just alot of planning, and some big and nice rocks.. thanks bro klyve, long time no see too.. hehe.. bioload.. slowly.. not yet only.. hehe.. AT still has ich! u are right bro, i got follow ur tank thread too, u have some nice good growth of sps frags too! btw, u r right, so much easier with large volume, lucky have dad support! really long time no see.. ur rockscape i remember also very nice, do drop by soon!

thanks bro, long time no see, exchange frags soon.. ur tank has healthy growth of coralline and corals! but mine is very very slow, the coralline hasn't popped even after so long.. ok maybe not very long.. but i'm still waiting haha.. thanks Joe, spent quite some time scaping them.. i have to thank u for the good old hardworking equipment that served me well from last time till now..

bro akinass, haha dun anticipate please, my tank have nothing impressive to show, everything still very new..

wa lemon u super fast.. haha.. as of now, the rocks in my display tanks are all new, so it will be quite some time before i get nice coloration on my rocks once again.. good thing is i use all old live rocks in my sump..

Happy reefing! Vincent

loctite at normal neighbourhood diy store.. BSI can get from a few of our sponsors here on SRC, Madpetz is one.. do check them out..

what anemone exactly? if its a carpet (haddoni) den maybe.. some clownfish are not instantly adapted to carpets.. thus run a risk of getting eaten if your anemone is a carpet..

copperbands and marginalis, chelmons basically, are very very very safe with SPS.. but there's a slight risk with zoas..

too bad me and my dad can't go.. coz its my mum's birthday.. ups for this lucky draw mini party!

im not sure abt a coris wrasse, but i think they are quite safe to a large extent.. with the exception of small inverts, and toppling small rocks.. anyway, here's how i usually catch fishes, especially wrasses: you can try putting live brine shrimp into a ziplock bag (make sure its transparent), and then placing the bag inside the fishtrap box.. this makes sure that the live brine dun flow out of the box, yet remain visible to entice the fishes.. usually curious and greedy fishes can't resist live brine, and will swim into the box to try eat the live brine.. placing the trap near the fish's hangout usually increases ur chances.. good luck!

very big thank you to bros onizuka, kiko, and aloysius for the kind words.. no problem guys, hope we have more chances to exchange frags next time!

i tried before, it is pretty watery even though it says gel.. in my opinion, loctite performs much better.. but in all, BSI-IC gel is still most value for money.. below is my experiences: Daiso glue gel - 3g - $2 (very watery, and half empty usually) Loctite glue gel - 3g - $4+ (good quality, but quick to use up) BSI-IC gel - 20g - $8 (comparable quality to loctite, very much bigger tube and more contents)

velvet sucks.. i learnt it the hard way..

aiya abit too late bros.. kancheong so i sent for repair liao, because the wii not mine.. anw its been fixed, dunno whether i've been chopped ornot.. =X anyway thanks all bros here.. definitely most helpful!

thats a very nice whitecheek.. it'll be stunning when it reaches adulthood.. do u happen to have gotten this from the shop in front of ahbeng?

my frags are small and limited, because i only doing trimming.. for those interested, maybe you can look out for SPS guru Cedric's next fragging session..

all sold, thread closed!

hi all, just trimmed my sunset millepora into smaller size to suit my tank, selling off the excess frags, various sizes from 1 inch onwards, price from $15 onwards. limited frags, while stock last.. view and collect at woodlands ring road. cheers, vincent 92382517 (if u are SMS-ing me, pls include ur nick) below is the pic of the colony just before fragging, thus polyps abit retracted, but all frags have healthy extension.

left 1 more frag! i have sunset mille that i just fragged too that will be posted in a new thread..
