Lawchan marine tank part 2

[johnmariados]

I think your older FTS, if you crop the photo to hide the edges, might be able to pass off as taken underwater in the ocean.

just for the fun of it... cropped and added a border. keke...

i'll be working on the scaping still.. all comments welcome.

The scape look good to me, once u glue all the sps on the floor to the rock, it should look even better. The advanage of this scape is the flow will be a lot better and one will not need so many wavemaker.

I also prefer the old look for now. Maybe after your bonsai fully grow I will prefer your new look. Whatever the scape, glad to see you back. By the way, hows your hand?

[lawchan77]

Will continue to improve as I go along. Hand was getting better but after scape back to square one. Was stung by acro and had a reaction and slightly swollen. Wearing gloves is really inconvenient and doesn't work well with epoxy. Now dry and crack with no fingerprint lor.

You damn hardcore !

Ah hah! There we go, now doesn't that look like something straight out of National Geographic?

Anyway love your new scape too, keep the pics comin.

P.S. I missed out on your radioactive birdnest that you accidentally fragged . Hope you frag again soon... accidentally of course, .

[riltz]

Wow... such a nice setup! Amazing man! kudos bro!

[lawchan77]

Thanks bros

[l3lackKaho]

nice :thumbsup:

[lawchan77]

Added some rocks today and slight relocation of a few coral.

With this set up, the fishes seem more active and water flow is better. No dead spots. Debris coagulate at 2 front side corners of the tank. Makes vacuuming a breeze.

That's all for the time being folks.... Taking some time off to recuperate my hand and let the water parameters stabilize. Need to TLC my hand.

Tried wearing surgical gloves. Double and triple layer but doesn't help much cos:

1) water gets in. Tried to tie with rubber at wrist. Helped for a while. Had to release for blood flow haha.

2) gloves doesn't work well with epoxy. The epoxy sticks to the gloves and make kneading impossible.

3) reduces the touch sensitivity when placing and gluing coral... the pressure is inportant when placing corals against rock and wait for glue to cure, finding the right position in the crook to place involves rotating and trying out different angles. Impossible.

4) rock scape is not possible. Rocks punch hole into my gloves.

or just ring me

Thank thanks... Really appreciate your offer but I peiseh lah.

Very Good Job, Law,

Cull those tt are not so nice, so more space is made available.

Then you can eagerly wait for new shipments to collect more gems.

If for some strange reasons tt you have a dislike for the scepter Echin, or tired of enjoying strawberry shortcake, do let me know.

I will be there to remove them for you, at no cost. Remember hor.

Cheers,

Mike.

Nice pair of AT u have

[lawchan77]

thank you uncle mike. wasnt my intention to deliberately cull the sps.. i lost some treasures during the rescape and incidentally my T5 decided to go on strike for a couple of days. so some sps didnt make it. those that did are still 50-50

luckily the ssc and scepter is ok lah.. although a little stressed. but will definitely call you one if i decide to give up these 2... in the meantime, they are still enjoying the prime top spots in my tank. haha..
