Keep Clam and Carry On - Our 6ft Reef Tank Journal

[ASHWIN]

I got a feeling this tank has a really good potential to be an amazing sps dominated tank or mix reef tank. Can't wait to see more. Your equipment choice is already great, what supplement u using or planning to use?

Confirm 100% Tqtq..

Hello boys and girls! Have been overseas for some time, so haven't really been updating.

Happy Vesak Day! Glad quite a few holidays are interspersed around this time of the year.

Looks like you dont have to cross your finger...the tricolor already looks purple enough

Observe the tissue closely...I love the texture shown under macro, isn't pretty ?

[peebee]

Hahaha yes! Sps are particularly beautiful through a macro lens... The polyps are really cute too (:

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

Youdontknowme: initially a Canon 500D, recently 6D/ 100mm macro/ settings--variable. It mainly depends on the amount of light on the subject (my maxspect razor is set to mimic a day night cycle and I don't mess with it, also some parts of the tank get more light than others) and what depth of field I want to achieve. Hope this helps! (:

WEEK 10

[peebee]

Its week 10 everyone! Have been a little too fast and furious with the purchases, if I do have to say so myself. Oops!

Anyway extremely excited to share my latest buys with everybody -

Not very big ones but I really love the colours.

Anyway, I would like to ask for some advise from everyone. I have been contemplating buying a sea hare, but I read online that it can excrete some toxic substances when antagonised and is also very difficult to keep. Does anyone have any experience? What would you all suggest?

[Chuchu]

Wow very nice color ...mind sharing buy from where and what damage

Got it off a friend for about $150 each.

Very nice colorful pratas. I tried keeping it 2-3 times. All failed and later on only to find out it was killed due to attacks by a "giant" crab hiding in one of the crevices.

I dun think its that difficult to keep it alive as long as there's plenty of algae around. But u must be sure there's no predator hunting it down in your tank.

Thanks for the advice! I decided to go for it and got one over the weekend. It has since disappeared in my tank... Hahaha
