Apologies in advance for the crappy pics. Water is quite cloudy due to heavy feeding.

New Multibar Angelfish. Top 3 favourite fish. Nibbling on mysis and very active. Surprised me with its outgoingness.

Female Flame.

Shepardi 1.

post-19676-0-19296200-1376208204_thumb.j

Shepardi 2. I like this one more. The black part on top extends all the way to the caudal area to the start of the tail.

HI Bro,

Possible to photo you sump tank? interested to know hows the sump set up.

thanks. :ThanxSmiley:

Lol bro this is the only place in my tank where I am embarassed to show cause its damn ghetto/messy/all over the place. But okay then.

post-19676-0-53456200-1376231756_thumb.j

Red hose is chiller line.

I was lazy to add an extension of the pipe down to sump so I stacked rocks and used a betta box with sponge as prefilter. Bought filter sock and holder but never use cause I find it easier to change sponge every week than to wash the sock.

Sump made by Vincent. I kind of copied bro Admiraltian's sump layout after seeing his tank thread.

Hope this helps.

Another week has passed. Cloudiness gotten better though still there. I have reached the conclusion its the biopellets kicking in actually.

Its harder to take out the copper this time round. Copper still hovering at 0.1.

All fishes doing well. Got a new multibar to encourage the rather passive old one to come out more. And tge result is that it really came out more albeit chasing the new one around. Hope it dies down along with the passiveness.

Well thats it. Boring update.

Cheers and hv a happy sunday.

Hi, how is your Harlequin Filefish doing? Understand that this fish is a corallivore with a diet consisting mainly of Acropora polyps. and you mentioned that your's feed on small pellets and cyclopeeze?
Yep thats correct. Got it on 22/6. That's two months now feeding well on cyclops and 0.5mm nls pellets but as with any other corallivores im not too sure how long can it sustain without their natural diet.

My Gramma got eaten right in front of my eyes by my Piccasso Trigger that I was speechless.

If just dissappear without me knowing still not so bad leaving me wondering where it's gone.

But to be eaten right infront of me! Damn.

No more small fishes for me liow...
