My 4 Ft Tank

[coralreef]

my brown staghorn and 1 acro turned white after i changed to hamilton...hope nothing goes wrong...the rest are still alright and growing...

finger crossed

[DeepBlue]

yup.....changing of bulbs can stress corals if they are not aclimatised to the light...

[coralreef]

yup...only got 1 ballast...no choice..just change the bulb and didn't aclimatise.....

going to sell away the smaller LR and get bigger ones...too many small LR and tonga branches liao...

[Dispar_Anthias]

I am hoping for it to grow faster...now only a small frag.....dun know when can frag the guy ...

I am going to shift the guy under better light coverage....hope to get a better shot and it will colour up better

Ah is that the acropora echinata

[FuEl]

Think the only way to know 100% is to bleach a frag and observe the skeleton under high magnification? But it does look like A.echinata from the outside..

[DeepBlue]

Hehe..looks like I'm not the only one having problems with birdnest colonies. My frags doing damn well though. Read today in the Garf website, that for many newly arrived wild-collected sps they will usually frag off the heads and wait for new growth. Something about the acro heads growing to suit the conditions in the wild, which might not be duplicated in captivity. That's one of the reasons why they usually will start receding from the lower tissues.

[DeepBlue]

maybe...I'll montior and see.....will update the condition later in the week....dun see it getting worst though

[Mellow]

Really really beautiful tank and corals u have man!!! Envy.... Simply love the button brains u have.... The colours seems like they are popping out!!! haha... Not forgetting that variety of acros u now have in your tank....Sweet!!! Hey DB bro, if u ever frag the birdnest, please do spare me a frag or two also...heh...

25c dunno how long my chiller going to run.. hehe..

oh well, I am going to kick in my MH soon, then chiller gonna to work more..

there's always some trend, remember the bubbles n coco worms..

now nobody mention much abt them any more..

[DeepBlue]

think the main reason is that bubbles are very pricey nowadays.....going at $50 and $60s...coco worms are not cheap again

alot of things are veri pricey these days..

all using excuses their stocks are certified, which I dun really believe.

I just gave one LFS owner a piece of my mind the other day..

[DeepBlue]

LPS price used to be much cheaper....do you remember yumas used to be dirt cheap...now we are hearing $20s and $25s for the nice-coloured ones

[blueheaven]

I just gave one LFS owner a piece of my mind the other day..

How?

[DeepBlue]

chop a little piece and gave it to him...bwilly???

[coralreef]

hahaha

later going SL...dunno if anything there...getting some tangs....

[DeepBlue]

Saw this in SL...I think....3 only

Acanthurus nigrofuscus , the blackish Brown or Spot-Cheeked Surgeonfish. And moderate behavior toward other fishes qualify the Brown Tang as a desirable aquarium species especially as an algae controller.
