tineng's 2 footer

[tineng]

my attempt at closeup......decent camera...lousy photographer....

[tineng]

was a gift from someone......didn't realise its vaule until 3/4 died in my office tank (will show a different thread for that tank.... )

[tineng]

Wah...nice 2 footer.

So how big will your new tank be?

ps: anymore sps for sale bo?

new tank is 4.5 footer....thank to a reefer here for his tank.....

this time round, I'll keep the SPS....however, will also be building a frag/prop tank....so if you can wait another 6 months.....maybe will have SPS for trade by then....

i will sell away all the equipments as a set and possibly includes all the softies, crabs, snail, rocks, sand....etc....but will definately move my clams and SPS to my new tank.... fishes, might let go the monk tang, but priorty will be given to those who can take care if it vs $$$$....

Care to show how's the filtration and water circulation like?

Care to show how's the filtration and water circulation like?

hahaha...filteration is by Zoevit in a cannister......skimming is by a dingy weipro 2012 powered by a 1000l ehiem pump (purposely underpowered to keep micro-bubbles min.)

Circulation is via a Sieo 820 hidden behind the rocks and boucing of the back of the tank.....rocks are place strategically to direct the flow to each SPS.....that is why you would notice only 1 side of the tank has SPS while the other softies....

I believe that the flow of water is just as important as water parameters and lightings.....

nice clam bro!! hope can sell to me

[tineng]

unfortuantely me last fish is a Kole-eye tang.....but too camera shy, will try to get a pic of him tonight....

At last finally able to get his pictures.....Kole eye....one of my fav now....cute fellow, alway follows what the monk tang eat...but whole time kanne chase by monk tang if he catches him stealing food.....

[tineng]

another view of this cutie....

[tineng]

a new comer....my 6-line.....but utra fast swimmer....or i' a lousy photographer....

[tineng]

side track a bit from my 2 footer.....attached is the small 1 footer in my office....just start....

hopefully can grow into a marine planted tank....

[tineng]

sun coral when fully expanded.....yucks....

[tineng]

some more SPS shots....

my fav from Bro Untouchable....pity he gave up...if not he has one hell of a tank!!!

[tineng]

can't resist a close up of this fellow.....

[tineng]

another view from the top...somehow color looks different....a bit more orangy....

[tineng]

another quailty one for bro untouchables....pratically gave free to me.....

[tineng]

another cheapo one....can believe i got this at a super dirt cheap price from a LFS.....

[tineng]

in case you guys starts to think i'm the reefer who always wait for stock clearance from LFS instead of buying them.....

following are coralsl brought from 1st day shippments

[tineng]

a green poly monti....which i complain loudy about a LFS not sms me when it arrive....

[tineng]

love this beauty....but donno why on picture the yellow so dull and purple not intense.....hope i can maintain its color.....

Woa.....sweet....

[tineng]

reason why i'm afriad of keeping the newly arrived SPS.....there are about 3 times the amount of what you see here acting as live rocks in my tank.....

somehow i find that old browned out corals that have stayed for weeks in LFS or reefers that a better bet.....

my record so far....suvialbility of:

:- brightly color SPS from LFS- 40%

:- SPS from other reefer - 75%

:- brown SPS - 80%....

any bro experiencing the same thing????

I guess your water parameter are still not suitable enough for sps.... what are your water parameter like??

[tineng]

I guess your water parameter are still not suitable enough for sps.... what are your water parameter like??

KH 8

CA 380~400

NH4 = 0

No2 = 0

N03 = 0

Sal 1.025....

got my dimension wrong....its 2x1x1 ... only 10g....death is usally results of chiller break down or zoevit overdoes...in a way you are right....parameter can be kept good most of the time....but 10g is too little a volume so everything and anything affects its stability - lots of time i have to wake up in the middle of the night or rush home early from work to ensure things are working perfectly.....hopefully will have an easier time with a 100g tank......
