Roidan's Reef (II)

[roidan]

I am always amazed at how well your LS are doing even tho you stock up quite rapidly. Whats the secret?

secret?

2 skimmers? which some are skeptic ...

DSB? which some are skeptic about using also...

macroalgae/refugium? which nearly crashed some other reefers tanks

maybe i just have the right combination of equipment and other factors?

i also dunno what is my secret...i got no IKS to monitor my stuff somemore...if i have one i am sure it will be much better

somemore from dec to may din change water, just add top up water from tap after i get rid of the chlorine and chloramine, no RO/no DI..

maybe it's just luck?

anyway, i decided not to push my luck too far and did my first water change few days back, no difference i observed.

but i am sure changing water can only do good and not bad

[roidan]

at least u are only amazed, even some of my friends or even some here are hoping to see my tank crash coz they started marine long before i did and yet i am *defying laws of physics* according to what they say

too bad it ain't gonna happen...for now at least

but i am sure my tank will get even better with an incoming skimmer upgrade

[AlfaRomeo]

Wah bro, decided on the skimmer already huh? dual-beckett i presume?

[roidan]

as usual with my dual skimmer methodology,

a multi needlwheel skimmer and a multi beckett skimmer is likely

[AlfaRomeo]

Deltec and Barr Aquatics?

[roidan]

deltec is likely...not sure yet....see if can get a good deal from H&S or not..hehe

er..no lah...barr aquatics, most of their models too small for my liking

kidding lah...

keeping in wraps....

leaving too many cues around already...must learn to secretive abit..hehe

[hotsoup]

it looks like Rodian(iii) is on the way

brother 2 questions:

1. How much are bartlets? where can find good quality ones?]

2. Where did you get your sailfin from? Saw in CF but they are on the pale side, any advise?

[roidan]

bro blenny:

bartletts are around 30odd to 40 per piece....one of the more expensive anthias around.....but they are much easier to care for than anthias like purple queens...

another less expensive anthias is dispar anthias...(not the bro here ..hehe)

also very hardy and easy to please

got mine from coralfarm, yellow tang was the first tang in my tank, next was this sailfin....

pale maybe coz they are stressed, the one with a yellow tail is the pacific sailfin tang if i am not wrong, my sailfin is the desjardini sailfin tang...

2 types of sailfin tangs

[that was niceeeee]

desjardini sailfin tang is liek got pearl on the bdy got more colours than the normal sailfin

[Blenny]

So when I buy from CF , it should color up in my tank right?? Thanks

[roidan]

if you get a good specimen and it adapts well to your tank, it should look like pics of the sailfins here
