Lemon's 2013 new build

[yikai]

can indicate how much does a pair cost ?

100++ for a pair. the shrimp is expensive also. yes, it is still expensive for a 1 inch goby and a shrimp but the price has dropped tremendously since they first appeared in the trade 2-3 years ago.

cute . is it difficult to care for them...

nope. care level is same as per any shrimp goby. needs a quiet peaceful tank.

[angmoh]

It is still an affordable fish as compared to those 4-digits specimens.. haha

thinking to get a pair as well!

shrimps are easy to find.

Henry@ML is one of the best places. he has many nano shrimps and gobies. Urocaridella shrimps, anemone shrimps, clapping shrimps, pistol shrimps etc.

Or can try CF. Except no idea why lately CF is very quiet.

Might be planning for a bombshell shipment.

Ah Beng is good for hunting common shrimps

it is summer now in the states and sales are generally lower. they don't do much export during this season.

CF's main bread and butter is export, not retail, although they do allow us to walk in and buy.

Would like to extend a big thanks to Fuel for helping me look after some of my fish while my tank was being built. Now that my tank is running and things are more or less settled down, i can begin taking back my fish slowly.

Meiacanthus reticulatus (Reticulated fang blenny). Peaceful and beautiful, a good fish to keep. I love fang blennies and they are very interesting to watch. This species is endemic to the coral sea, and can be obtained from Cairns Marine Australia shipment. this was from the pioneer batch. Has been in fuel's care for many months already prior to this tank set up.

Meiacanthus kamoharai (Kamohara fang blenny). My favorite fish. Came from Koji Wada's japanese shipment. This was the first kamohara that koji sent out of japan. right now there are 3 more in U.S.A for MACNA. Surprisingly very difficult and provided me with many sleepless nights. For many weeks it refused to eat anything except fish eggs. It grew thinner and thinner. But over the past week things looked better and now the fish is eating pellets. A big load off my shoulder.

Genicanthus semifasciatus (Yellow Masked Angelfish). Male of a pair. This is my favorite of the swallowtails and until very recently, was rare and highly sporadic. However recently this fish has flooded the market beyond comprehension and is now the most common and easiest to obtain Genicanthus. It has lost all its novelty and overnight, went from being the rarest local swallowtail to the most common. Many reefers can now own this fish unlike the past.

How much u bought the fish? reef safe?

[yikai]

How much u bought the fish? reef safe?

it's not an expensive fish.

pasir ris farms market rate around 30+ to 40+. males slighly more expensive.

in the wild, genicanthus angels are planktivores and swim in water columns to catch floating food. as such, they are reef safe. but i have heard the odd story or two of them nipping corals.

Nice tank build

[twiddledoo]

Are the goby/shrimp combo fixed? Or can you pair the white cap with any other pistol?

[yikai]

Nice tank build

thanks jeremy

for other genus of gobies, you can mix it up with the shrimp.

but for white cap gobies, they pair only with this pistol, A. rubromaculatus. It will be sold together.

Number of fishes have no bearing on the Feng Shui. The purpose of the fishes is to have water movement as much as it can. It's called active water as opposed to still water which is generally used as a cure. More importantly the water must be very clean to ensure good Feng Shui. IMHO.

Nice tank, new concept of refugium view. Will the intense lighting of the refugium overwhelm the overall looks?

Your knowledge of marine fishes is impressive. Wish I got the time to study them. Maybe you could write a book in future. Keep it up.

Refugium lights r cheap LEDs for the corals. It's not too bright. Thanks. But there r many people out there and even here with more knowledge on reef fish. I just read alot and do more research, but there are still many fish I do not know.

[gambitz]

nice thank...bro, where did you place your wavemaker? and how many of them?

[yikai]

nice thank...bro, where did you place your wavemaker? and how many of them?

i placed my wavemakers at the back panel and direct them 45 degrees left and right.

using 6065 and 6085. abit overpowered for this tank.

[yikai]

Nothing much to update.

Practising my shots on some of my shrimps in my refugium.

Cuapetes tenuipes - Orange long clawed shrimp. This is a really interesting shrimp with long claws that bend at 90 degrees. Very transparent.

[yikai]

Thor amboinensis - Sexy Shrimp. Have 7 of them. Make very interesting group behaviors as they perch on rocks and corals waving their abdomens.
