ryz's new 3 feet tank

[ryz]

think I will stuff the nori later when lights are off so I dun stress them too much... it comes out but once I'm near the tank or make too big movements it retreats... It is out most of the time now... Will try to zoom in a lot and post pics later...

you can do a few things to entice it to eat.

1) take out a piece of liverock. soak the nori in garlic. lay it on the liverock, and allow the liverock to bake in the sun. when the rock is dried of water, the nori will also be dried of water. and in this form, it'll be stucked onto the liverock itself. put it back into the tank. *learnt this from some one...weileong I think. not too sure*

2) if you have frozen mysis shrimps or brine shrimps, defrost the shrimps and use the water to soak into the nori seaweed. surely will entice the fishes with the fishy smell generated by the defrosted water.

3) soak it in garlic, cut it into small pieces, and flood your water with it.

that was how I got ALL my tangs to eat seaweed. now they'll automatically go to the red clips to get the un-soaked seaweed.

in pic cannot see clearly.. it has orangle freckled face and orange lines on its body... look at the pectoral fin got blue lining!

[ryz]

mixed cubes of mysis, some nori and freeze dried cyclops and fed it to my tank... Both my YT and Ctenochaetus Striatus(finally identified it) eating liao... YT, besides loving pellets, it also gets really excited by nori and mysis... Ctenochaetus not keen on nori but eating mysis and pellets... yay

here's a pic of how my ctenochaetus really looks like... got it off the net as mine damn difficult to photograph.. this pic cannot see the blue lining on the pectoral fin..

I never say your coral is close.. i just say that current is very weak thus slagging downwards............ notice some of the lps are bleach

[ryz]

huh? maybe I never on the powerhead.. sometimes I off it during feeding.. yea the frogspawn at the top bleached.. expelled zooxanthellae algae. dunnow whether I stressed it too much when rescaping or it was somethign else. you can see that my fungia at the top also receeding... dropped on my bubble below...
