law1210 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 These are my corals on the move...carried on the back of the urchin. Check out the algae patch on my tank wall, I purposely left it there for urchin to eat but it has left it alone so far. Instead, it almost consumed all my coralline algae on the rock.

Admiraltian Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I like flame angel too...but it seems to be known to nip at corals...something I would like to avoid having in the tank. But I'm looking out for potential fish I can keep in this nano. If it is well fed, maybe it won't, LOL. Anyway flame angels are popular among most reefers, nip or never nip at corals, ppl still keep them. Most species won't nip if they r not hungry but that's just my own opinion.

Yeah, I saw one flame angel in Cedric's tank full of zoas yesterday. That's one big motivation to give it a try. Didn't see any at Irwarna today. Else might not be able to resist the temptation. lol.

law1210 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 This morning found something 'hiding' in one corner of my tank. Looks like a baby of my Rics but I've not seen my Rics so small before. So cannot confirm what it is. Anyway, took it out n glue it on a piece of rock (hopefully won't kill it) n in a betta box now. Tmr flying off liao. Hope it won't die on me.

law1210 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Oh yay! Nice to know it's a Ric baby. But this baby has now tear itself away from the superglue on the rock and floated itself out of the betta box (my betta box bottom has holes for water circulation). It's now back on the sandbed in between 2 rocks. Should I leave it alone and let nature takes its course or take it out again and glue back to the rock?

SRC Member netviper Posted April 23, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted April 23, 2012 If i were u, i will put netting within the betta box, place coral chips in it and put it in low flow area. This should help the ric to settle down and stick to the coral chip. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

law1210 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 A small update. Introducing my developing zoa corner. First row - small fragments of green zoa dropped from main colony in the 3rd roll. Growing well. Becoming one small round colony now. Second row - newly acquired from Cedric. 1st is Sunflower with 1 polyp of don't know what (forgot the name). 2nd is African Blue Hornet, not yet open. 3rd is a pink zoa which I also forgot the name. Third row - remaining of my previous zoas colony. The polyps are growing back. Looking good for them.

law1210 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Just got another 2 frags from bro Thairun. Sky Blue open up 5min after putting in despite going thru CoralRX dip. Tough. The Green Hornet not open yet. So here's a pic of sky blue first.

law1210 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Had a small disaster today. Was on leave and received a call from colleague that my sump is overflowing. Quickly asked her to off my pump and chiong back to office. Turned out that the return pump hose got disconnected from the pump. So it created a little fountain in my sump. Luckily lost only 3 cups of water. I better get a hose fastener to prevent similar incident from happening.
