Bro nice Tank i love your baby Blue tang.. i brought 4 of them too.. loved it.. they are in my 4ft tank now and they always hang out together... damn cute.. hope they will survive though..

thats cool. i haven't found something suitable to block up the overflow before i can release them. and my food timer only dispense formula 2 pellets which are too big for them to swallow. so i'm nursing them in the beta box for abt 1 mth first.

upz for you

[acidjazz]

bro, any updates?

[Zac]

bro hows your little blue tang doing??

[Rocky99]

thanks bros for your concern. haven't really had time to update my tank thread. only one of the baby tangs survived, but he's v healthy and has grown by to twice the size when i bought.

not much changes to my tank over these few mths. 3 pratas bleached and died, and i suspect it's cos the strong lights after i added 4 extra tubes of T5s. but the additional lights did add visual appeal to my tank.

Nice Bro...............

Thats a BIG clam.........crocea or maxima?

Nice prata, you have there.

I also see SPS........... any close-up view?

[Rocky99]

came home this afternoon and got shocked by what i saw in my tank - a mega crab crawling out under my LRs towards my red prata. its the 20ct coin sized crab that i saw in the same hideout 3mths ago. thankfully i was around to intercept and i spent the next 3 hours crabbing.

notice the glass container in the pic above. thats my 1st crab trap. got the idea from one of the old threads that suggested using essence of chicken bottle, which is too small for my crab. unfortunately that didn't work as my sandbed too shallow to allow me to tile the container more.

squamosa i think

the sps looks more dead than alive, hardly see any polyps on it. (i'm not sure myself). only that that it allows my little blue tang to perch on when he's sleeping, else i'd have thrown it away long time ago. my water conditions are not likely to be suitable for sps, and i lack the skill to keep them.

[Rocky99]

managed to catch it b4 i go to bed. else cannot sleep properly tonite. phew.

[Rocky99]

anyone interested? it's still alive. i couldn't bear to kill it. will drop him at the beach this weekend.

How is the crabbing? Chilly crab for dinner!

The sps is brown colour right? Maybe not enough

flow and you need to check your water nutrient.

Why dont you move it near to your seio, atleast

it will encourage the polyps to come out and lighting

shouldt be a problem as it close enough to you t5.

[Rocky99]

that's all 4 today. have little time for this hobby lately. it's been weeks since i last cleaned my skimmer cup. now it's time to do it.

bro, i'll try to reposition it later on, as i'm not ready to disturb the baby blue tang's home yet.

my bioload is very heavy. i got 2 PTs, 1 big BT, 3 YTs, 15damsels and few other small fish. feeding 6cubes of BS daily plus a few scoops of formula 2. nitrate is 5ppm thanks to the denitrator, but PO4 is sky high after stopping rowa. probably thats why it's not coloring up.

this is how the baby blue tang look like when he's younger. the other one died.

now he swims together with the damsels like one of them.
