Congrats!!!

If ever anyone doubts the TOTQ award, just visit his tank and you will be won over.

Totally mesmerizing and a riot of colours of a mixed LPS and sps.

Photos can't captured the 3D effect of his rock scape ,and what you see is quite flat, unfortunately.

If anyone needs inspiration or a renewed of passion, just pull over his place.

A super friendly reefer, actually a reef maniac,

he will be more than glad to welcome you.

Congrats to a truly deserving winner!

The challenge is really on how to climb higher from here.

Cheers,

It's Kakis like you that make this passion going.

For me now is: zoas out, blastos , chalice, acans and hums in

Always changing the landscape and inhabitants to feed the passion going.

Your reef is a dreamland, Alvin in Wonderland.

Who says only a 5-6 footer sps tank can be a TOTQ?

Alvin's nano has blown the myth.

Your lighting is indeed very effective and has a potential to be a standard feature for serious nano players.

Good Job, th79!!

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
