[Maxstar81]

More rocks !? Hm, will have to consider.

Anyway, dkk08,

The decorated dartfish are from PR !!!

Dun know if got anymore left.

veliferium,

Sian lah. The biggest of the decorated dartfish

decided to become tyrant. Chase all other darts.

(1 more decorated & 2 fires)

Now usually only he swimming around. All others

hiding from him in the rocks. Nemo pair & sunburst

no prob. Sigh ....

[Maxstar81]

Decorated dartfish.

[veliferium]

[Maxstar81]

Oh, U wan to see the queen ah.

Ok ok, Here is my little precious.

Introducing Fat Head Anthias (Sunburst Anthias).

[veliferium]

Onli 1..haha..i thought u have a pair..

why dun u try some shrimps...make the tank look livelier..

[Maxstar81]

veliferium,

Wa.... 1 pair ah.

No $$$ lah.

Buy 1 already cost S$ 25/- leh.

Shrimps!?

Have total of 8 of them.

1 cleaner in bottom tank &

7 transparent from beach in

top tank. Really great clean

up crew. Their eggs make good

supplement for my fish too.

Hm, but was thinking of adding 1 more cleaner for top tank.

Slowly lah, no rush.

BTW, added a blue hermit & it got to work straight away

cleaning my rocks of algae. Cool !!!

Will post pics of the hardworking cleaner soon.

[cityofangels]

Good choice of fishes (purple firefish & sunburst anthia)!

Is the Sunburst Anthia easy to care for? Do they require alot of feeding? I know that anthias require alot of feeding. I had a small school of the blue-eyed anthias and they died one-by-one on me. I think it's because I only feed my fishes once a day.

[veliferium]

paiseh paiseh didnt noe they cost so much...haha..

rmb to get an electric-blue hermit hor...cs they look much nicer than those blue-legged ones and wun grow so big...

and a few ###### shrimps wld look nice in ur tank..haha

[Maxstar81]

Hi sis cityofangels,

Um, my fat head is fed once a day only.

Seems to be doing fine up till now. From

wat i see but very shy. Always hide when

see pple walk past tank. A big bully in the

tank, she self proclaimed Queen. Every

other fish must kow tow to her wan....

veliferium,

I got this photo off the net since I haven't

taken any photo of the new tank mate.

[veliferium]

ya tis is the one..

[Maxstar81]

At the rate its eating....

Wkend have to pick new

shell at beach liao.

Must have been starving

at the LFS.

Hm, my snail seemed to have slowed down.

Bored? Tired? Or maybe its ###### pain from

shitting non stop !?

Since i'm going down to the beach,

will get some more shrimps.

Anybody need !?

PS(collections depends on tide condition.

The lower the tide, the more stuff)

[Maxstar81]

Wat do we have here. Lets see.

1. Red, Green w/ white stripes, red w/ green stripes

mushies. 2. Elephant ear mushies. 3. Chaeto & bits of Ulva.

4. Fan worm. 5. Turbo snail. 6. Cleaner shrimp. 7. Pipefish(blur).

8. Cardinals. 9. Goby.

Wa, looks a bit crowded ah.

Just an update on the bottom tank.

[Maxstar81]

Closer pic of my cleaner.

Have molted 2 times liao.

Still look skinny.

Wanna fatten it up some more.

[Maxstar81]

Ok, top tank with shrimp thrown in to test water &

clean up a bit. (can U see it!?) Ulva is there to suck

up some Nitrate. Something in the rock keeps eating

my Ulva & chaeto. Have since removed them. (watever thats left )

[Maxstar81]

Slurp!

Cannot resist the colours.

New shipment & i was early.

[Maxstar81]

Goby basking under PL light in my mushy forest.

(its only 2 rocks of mushies but a guy can dream can't he !?)

Dun worry, I'll keep fragging them till it turns into a forest.

[hondaker]

nice sunburst!

btw, the transparent shrimps very small one is it?

think one of my tank occupant likes to eat small shrimps, i had 2 small camels missing

[Maxstar81]

Camel not reef safe wan lah.

Now that they're gone, U can

add corals without fear. Heh.

Come join the coral group lah.

U already apply membership

with the sun coral liao. Ha ha.

[veliferium]

wah ur tank got lots of potential man..keep it up...

[dominik]

Camel not reef safe wan lah.

Now that they're gone, U can

add corals without fear. Heh.

Come join the coral group lah.

U already apply membership

with the sun coral liao. Ha ha.

why is it not reef safe? what didi it feed on?

[Maxstar81]

dominik,

1. They eat my fan worm crown.

2. They eat my feather star center.

3. They eat my banded bead anemones.

Lucky i don't have coco worm b4 i got rid

of them. I suspect they'll eat it too.

(S$25/- meal super ex ah )

Good to have if U are facing pest anemones.

Hope U find this infomative & steer U clear

of possible loss of LS.

[cityofangels]

Camel shrimps can be added to a reef tank, but with caution. I have a camel shrimp and so far, it's doing fine in my LPS tank.

[hondaker]

feel like transforming into a sun coral tank

more brightly colored and chio

but of course will lose to SPS la, those are super advanced reef-keeping corals

[Maxstar81]

Hm....

Sun coral tank.

(every tank should have a theme)

Also interesting but ....

Bro, hard to tell lah.

U never post pic of your tank.

U try experiment with the current

one 1st loh. Once stable then slowly

build up.

As for my tank ....

The final piece still not in yet.

Mandarin fish.

My pods population not there yet.

That is my dream fish.
