Finally start a new tank after my previous tank give way 5yrs back. It's going to be simple budget cube tank measuring 3x3x2.

Things has change a lot from the past, still reading up and learning those new gadget and filtration system. But for now, i'm starting with basic with no chiller, no SPS for this setup. Only a few LR as of now, let the cycle begin... :)

Using my phone cam to take a few shots. Never good with camera, all picture will ended this bad under my skill.

Can someone tell me how to capture the "true" colour using iPhone cam. Is there any option to adjust or iPhone cam is for idiot like me to "aim-and-snap" function only?

Hidden Dragon coming back...think you will come back to sps

Hidden bristle worm coming out to kill the fishes..... My tank setup and position don't allow for a chiller placement, hence really no SPS this time. Unless there is warm water SPS in the market :P

LR bought from Iwarna, happen to have a few piece with good coraline growth on it.

The light is not that blue at all, but my simple aim-and-snap iPhone cam somehow can't pick up the white spectrum.
