[absolut_vodka]

And when you can't get them(sunburst) to feed.. can say bye bye liao

oh dear! hope won't have to say bye bye so soon! :|

[absolut_vodka]

maybe u should try feeding it in the betta box..

i definitely will do that... that's actually my intentions... make sure they are feeding well and are not sick before releasing them into the tank!

another gentle reminder: anthias r frequent feeders r required to be fed several times per days. make sure ur skimmer can handle the heavy bio load, else ur corals in time will oso hv to say bye bye. most anthias r oso schooling fishes, they will tend to thrive in groups of more than 3 or 4. but sunburst anthias is known to be a solitary anthias though.

not really..... sunburst anthias live in small colonies in the wild but dun school.. They are deep water anthias though

my terminology of solitary means they dun school. most webbies recommend this fish to be kept singly (solitary) in a small to medium reef tank to avoid conflicts within own species.

not looking for anything in particular... but dun plan to buy any more for the next few weeks...

nope, have not got the coral magazines yet... coz haven't gone to henry's place... its a bit out of the way! hehe...

yup.... i think the sunburst is definitely a loner... and he's still not eating... so i'm not letting him out of the betta box anytime soon.

anyway, dun intend to buy any more anthias... or fishes for that matter... coz still going to transfer my fishes from the previous 2 ft tank over.... but will do that only in a couple of weeks' time... i want to make sure everything is ok and the bioload can be handled first.

i think my skimmer should be pretty effective... have been cleaning the skimmate regularly. anyhow, i'm still keeping a lookout to make sure everything is alright.

nice tank.. u like taking pics from below to up eh.. see until i abit giddy..

[lightningstrike]

skimmer doing a great job of skimming out dark and disgusting doc from ur tank does not mean that ur tank parameters r in good conditions.

let me put it this way,

wld u rather hv ur skimmer skimming out lots of gunk everyday but u still get high nutrients (NO3, PO4, etc) readings?

or wld u rather ur skimmer skims out little gunk but u get ur ideal water parameters condition?

hope u get what i m trying to say.

sunburst really say bye bye liao!

[absolut_vodka]

haha..... i dun want to be in the pictures... that's why i take from that angle... anyway, the room is pretty small... so can't really take picture of the whole tank if i stand straight...

its probably connected to the sump system...

eh , u might have major problems w that if u have a pump failure or blackout .... it really depends on how the setup is done ... juz take note .

cheers
