Oh dear so sorry for the messages that I missed. Been so busy with work. Although it's hardly an excuse. Just slipped my mind to post here! But then again, even if I'd wanted to post anything here, I must say that nothing much has changed. Until today. I got myself a pair of: vevugese.jpg Thanks to Marcovan for picking these up at LCK! Truly a steal. A pair for $30? The moon must've gone blue. Also, my entire sunflower zoa colony has mysteriously melted. :( What a tragedy. They were my pioneer zoas. GONE. Sian. Anyway. Here's the latest FTS. I think the most noticeable difference is the GSP. They grew out of the water. I don't know if they know what's best for them... yde4esu6.jpg And finally, here's a tribute to my sunflower zoa colony. You had a good run! nugu9a7u.jpg I'll try to update more, reefers. In the meantime, be good out there. anute2y9.jpg My cats say hi.

Care to share your photoperiod and intensity settings for the Razor Nano LEDs? It seems glaring bright at both 100%.
Hey bro so sorry I missed your message. My photo period is from 6pm to 12:30am. My tank is outdoors so I'm not that concerned with their light intake in the day. Also this way, the tank is nicely lit by the time I get home from work. Haha. Intensity- 6-7pm: 0-40% blue 7-8pm: 50% white, 50% blue 8-10pm: 75% white, 75% blue 10-11pm: 25% white, 50% blue 11pm-12:30am: 50-0% blue By the way, it appears glaring in pictures because the iPhone camera is lousy with LED light. In reality it's fairly nicely lit. Hope this helps!

Haha.. Got you out Fel, even though it's a small soft meow.

Hey Dick, your softie is sort of getting too big for your tank. ( Dick, soft and big ) is not meant to be a pun.

Tell you what, for all the good things that you have done for me, I will accommodate this softie in my tank. Seriously I need to find a suitable suite for it.

Don't take too long , though. I might change my mind.

Just had ocean fish head curry last week.

Christmas is coming. And this looks quite festive, yes?

As you can see it's getting a little too big for my 34L ocean. So I'm letting it go, at the same price I got it.

Its head opens fully to roughly the size of a fist. The skeleton is half of it's original size because it was a shared frag. But the head opens nicely so hey great news for him and his new owner.

Leave me a note if you're interested! :)

*SPECIAL POST* TIME!

A long overdue HELLO to fellow reefers!!

I haven't been updating this space because quite frankly, taking the same kind of pictures over and over again is kinda redundant. Especially since a nano world runs out of alternate angles pretty quickly.

But today's post is not an ordinary one.

Because exactly one year ago, this happened:

And this post is to celebrate the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of my tank! I tend to nerd-out on things like that so come enjoy this mini celebration with me.

I've come a really really long way. As you can clearly see.

But of course I didn't do it on my own. The real mastermind behind the success of my tank is my boyfriend. He's been reefing way before I even knew what a bubble algae was. So a big woohoo to him.

And this is my tank today:

I know every time I take these FTSes it looks like I don't have any fish in there. So here's some proof of life:

I must say I am pleasantly surprised at how well the tank is doing. It did go through one or two rough patches but it recovered fairly quickly. So much effort goes into maintaining a tank. Those of you with much bigger oceans at home, I salute you. Really commendable.

It's nice to be back here writing again! But it's time I slept this stupid cold I'm having off. Bleagh.

And in true gingerwrasse fashion, I shall conclude this commemorative post with pictures of my cats.

A beautiful tank, always at its best form. Honto desu. Your ( both ) passion ,talent and creativeness are sadly restricted by the size of your tank.

Bigger tank is the way to go.

Many of the nicest stuff inside this tank comes from you. Our generous reefing mentor. :bow:
