WeIShUn's Tank II

[weishun]

haha you fake cabinet!!

look great la

ahahaha thank you thank you

THinking of drilling hinges into my stand to support my doors. If not look like those traditional shop houses which needs to manually fix in the doors while closing shop. Need to testing... hehe

Anyway thinking of getting a new changai wood stand already. So no harm trying out... keke

[weishun]

Going to upgrade my tank liao.. sigh.. looking for a 3ft x 1.5ft (w) x 2ft (h) tank. Anyone giving up?

[iewnehz]

y go for 1.5ft width?? go at least 2 ft or even 2.5ft la..you won't regret..

[weishun]

Aiyahh actually anything also can one lah.. for me most important is that i wan a taller tank. Thats the one thing i am dreaming of now...

[lvcap]

hmm...

just to share some experience..

if u are using DSB...maybe its better to go for 2.5ft in height..

and for great landscape...got for 2.5ft in width too..

no offence pal...

[typrobin]

just get a 3 X 2 X 2...

with a wider width with u will get a more scaping variety....it will look damn good too...

if u go for 2.5ft, u might have to consider 250W MH...and when u wanna place corals on your sand bed or when something drop onto your sand bed, u have to prepare to dive...

[weishun]

Yah.. thats what i thought so too.. thats why i am asking for a height of 2ft tall. Hmm for 2ft tall tank i can still use my 150w MH rite?

[typrobin]

so far my corals are ok...but i try not to put too much corals on the sand bed loh...let the more precious corals enjoy the MH tanning...those mushrooms and zoo dun care one lah...hahahaha

show some pics of your skimmer leh...

i am using 156W of T5 for my 2.5ft tall tank...the bottom seems okie..but have not tested with any LPS there yet..

but i think zoos and other stuff shld be able to survive...

actually depends very much on preference...i personally love the shimmering effect of MH but hate the heat generated...

t5 is excellent but i always feel that it don't have the intensity...just my opinion...but of course there are awesome SPS tanks that run only with t5...

its just like the skimmer issue, there's never one that is the best for everyone...

[weishun]

Hehe.. its been a long time since i last did an updated post on whats happening in my tank.

Well this time round, i upgraded my tank to a taller tank. But still a 3ft tank. My new tank dimension is 3.ft x 1.5ft (w) x 2ft (H).

All thanks to a kind reefer who offered to swop his old tank with me for a piece of coral.

Here is a picture of my new tank. Noticed the height difference between my old tank and this tank?

A closer shot of my new tank.

Bought this piece of Xenia for $5 at a shop in woodlands. Damn big piece.

My goodness, you don't know what you are buying? Better research before you buy otherwise you will face compatability problems.

Looked like anthias to me, thins ones too, are they eating?

[ryz]

their rounded mouths doesn't look that that of anthias leh.. anthias have more pointy heads and mouths.. could be a variant of purple tilefishes? hmm... tilefishes are more elongated leh... could be some anthias, could be a tilefish? mouth of the fish doesn't really suggest that it's a planktivore like the anthias. your pic not too clear so hard to tell

is it eating yet?

pic of purple tilefish

[weishun]

Yah they are eating... somehow it looks like anthias to me... but the ladyboss told me its not anthias.... well... anyway its reef safe, peaceful and its eating well... who cares... haha...

[terryansimon]

do the fishes have long bodies? as in, naturally elongated?

if so, it may be a purple tilefish. and if it is, you'll have problems if you have more boisterous tank folks.

I recently lost one because it decided to jump out of my tank. left with one now only. if I lose this one, I wouldn't get it again. a bit expensive for me. =\
