OMG~ Been busy posting photos on instagram, especially on @reefsg but I haven't updated my thread here for 1 year plus! Haha just a couple of F TS to keep this thread running

Love your powder blue tang. Is it difficult and aggressive to other fishes?

Aggressive towards other Tangs. Now it’s still chasing around with my AT. 

As Tangs goes, it is extremely important to introduce them when they feed readily and that stress or other agressive Tangs presence won’t deter them from eating.

Really beautiful tank! Impressive.

It has been a while since I last updated this thread. Main reason, which is known to few, was that my tank suffered a major power trip for 20 hours while I was overseas in Jan.

Realized that webcam is inaccessible, and by the time help was sent, it was too late. My fishes in my display tank probably died first because of the stagnant water and lack of oxygen. That probably lack to an ammonia spike and with the raising temperature, all my sps was wiped out. So this was the result..


The only consoling fact was my soft corals and most lps survived the ordeal..

Having getting over my losses of my 4 years old fish and sps colonies, I decided to pick myself up and salvage what’s left..

After shifting my surviving corals to 4 different tanks. I did a 90% water change. Mixing 600litres of water was really tough...



The water cleared up after..



But it took me a month or so to ensure that the tank is stable before I shifted my corals back.. introducing fishes was another headache when I need to battle with ich issues again..

One thing I know for sure from this lesson, is the importance of battery backups, and black out alerts.. so fellow reefers, do make sure you spurge some money to buy a piece of mind..

I am finally posting a short depiction of my lesson, becuz I am finally getting back some confidence in my tank. Fast forward to the tank today, although it’s no where near it’s former glory..
