Thanks a lot bro, will keep on striving for providing a better place for my corals and fishes

And by the time I come to Perth, you probably have your LFS set up

Thats is a Beautiful specimen of Tomini Tang.

The fins looks like they're on fire.

Never seen them b4 though... tough as AT?

Yeah I really love the fins

As for ease of keeping, so far it had not gotten ich and has super recovery rate for broken fins

Haha look carefully bro, that's red coralline encrusted on the clumped up sand bits!!

And yes I did underexpose my pictures as they turn up badly under the bright light. Will try to play around with the exposure settings

[blueheaven]

Pardon me for the sudden influx of pictures as I have caught the shutterbug

Green polyped mille colony

Still hoping that it will colour up

This and the next pic are comparison pictures for bro weileong

Trigger happy reef!!!

[blueheaven]

Since I am not fated to keep an anemone, I'll just have to settle for this

[blueheaven]

A frag given to me by a fellow reefer

Check out the blue centres

[blueheaven]

Ok the chaeto grew too big and now I have 2 baskets of them

[blueheaven]

With the lights just a mere 1 inch away, I'm not surprised they grew so fast!!!

Parting shot for today

"Brownie"

[blueheaven]

I am now implementing a "rainy day" schedule for my tank

Every week, one day will be set for the MHs to be off for the whole day and it will be lit with only my blue T5s

The schedule will be based on the 8th day after the rainy day

This means that if I off the MHs on Monday, next week Tuesday will be rainy day

This is the second week I am doing this and I do see a great improvement in SPS colouration especially the blues. Will document the whole process for the next few months

Hmmm, interesting concept you're adopting,BH. Will be interested in your findings.

Blueheaven, what type of timer will you be using for your 'rainy day' schedule? Or is it you manually switch off the timer each week?

I do not use timers for my MHs

Therefore, I can turn them on and off whenever I want to

[blueheaven]

Just want to share some interesting finds last night

Came home late and first thing I did was peek into my tank

Saw a few big white stuff on the glass and back wall

Shone a torchlight at one of them and.....

It turned out to be HUGE moonsnails!!!!!

Really, I have not seen anything like it before as I didn't even know that there were moonsnails in the main tank. Some were even a thumb long!!!!

And of course with those were the euplica scripta snails from lightningstrike

[Melvyn Tan]

Wow nice healthy chaeto.... where do you get them?

EH FYI timer also permit you to turn the lights off as and end you want to

Haha yeah but I don't trust timers on the MHs

Scared that they will melt

As for the chaeto, well the biggest clue I can give you is that it came from the States....go figure!!
