My first support in the coming nano competition

[peong]

To be honest, when I first received Gouldian's invitation for the nano competition, I straight away said NO to him, In my mind it's just impossible for my to start another nano tank with my current new 6ft reef tank still doing fine tuning. Further more, been a slow learner like me, my standard of reefing will never qualify in any competition like this. But after listening to some encouragement from a friend in SRC, my self-confidence increase and finally decided to take part. Well, It really not so much to win a prize but to have fun and make more friends with the same hobby.

Here, I want to give special thanks to the organizer who spend so much time in planning this competition, also giving the participants at least two months in advance to do the preparation, I can say is more than enough actually. So, I think is good for me to give some thoughts start from today as well as set-up a thread like this to record down my idea and journey in this competition.

Thanks for reading and I shall continue the next page tomorrow.

Yes, I am. I getting G**G, A*47 and many more for high security protection. Lol

[peong]

Always very early bird and mid-night-cat nowadays dealing with my new 6ft reef tank, hope that I still manageable to commit in this nano set-up.

Okay, let's look at the black&white for what I suppose to follow... bababa... Theme: "To set-up a sustainable salt-water aquarium base on the above equipments." bababa...

Wow, look like very easy but actually NOT, must becareful with the word "sustainable" and "above equipments"... Don't play play yap, don't think that just sand bed and few pcs of rocks with one anemone and a pair of clownfish with fulfill the given word "sustainable", u will make the tank manufacturer "lao kui". So, beside "sustainable" what is my sub-theme??? think think think... only during "freeman" situation like me can sit down and think about the "reefing equation".

Let's look at the tank first... JBJ 28G Nano Tank Complete Set MT-603-LED

[stevenchia]

Good! Since reefing always a rich man's hobby, athough i am not one.

[RockyBoy]

Thx RockBoy, good to meet u there also.

Yeah.. I can do my groceries shopping as well...

[klim]

Reefing is about good husbandry, commitment and hardwork. It's not always who got more $$$, although it can buy you nice fishes or corals. If not well taken care of as above, it is still a buried ground for the live stocks.

[bellinayu]

Hey peong. Why don't you do a seahorse tank since you are the expert in this? Would love to partner you if you did a seahorse tank so can learn from you.

Hi Peong,

6/12 9pm is the official bench-in. This is when initial set-up is done such as electrical wiring, marking of compound and also moving-in of larger items.

I would suggest your kind bench-in on 07/12 before 10am after the above is done.
