I always believe that if you are genuinely interested in the hobby....you'll eventually build your dream tank....go slow and gradually...a year later...revisit the pic again......it'll be totally different......

you using PL lights?...better than me when I started....I used a cannister and only FL 10000K tubes

Reef On Buddy! Dun be too humble lah.....

It's not that bad, you should look at my first one... *Shaking head and sighing*

At least you started with a solid 2x1x1.5 tank. I used a cheaper pentas tank with FL.

Well, I know it is difficult to upkeep a tank without some resources, but I think you will feel a greater sense of accomplishment if you manage to do so (Lots of hard work and learning to "read" your fishes and corals). Keep up the good work... Times are bad so most of us is saving money too. Don't feel bad about it.

BTW where did you get the $28 55 W PL? I got mine at more than $30. Can PM me the place?

:D:peace:

When you 'climb' too high, you will fall more easily as the formwork and foundation are not well-built and stable.

So you have a good start...build bit by bit...

Just keep on saving your angpow money and allowances and be a good boy and also pass your exams with aces, then persuade your parents to sponsor a bit while keeping up the good grades. Worth it... :P

Wah...looks like someone gets lots of Angpow money. Good for flubberina...

My angpow money never exceeds my weekly allowance. So that kinda sucks for me. My last angpow income use to pay my monthly hp bill then no more left already.

Always something more important than fish.

shit man, you guys use vkool for your tanks? i don't have that kind of money. as it is, the money i've forked out, has burnt a hole, which goes deeper than deep can get in my pocket. it's scary how the little things add up and the final cost just slaps you in your face.
