nice scape. Like the natural look. Will be re-scaping mine tomorrow. hope can achieve a more natural look...

[Qxnviolet]

Opps....its mm...haha. Hrmz....the prizm works ok....thats it. Just OK. Haha, hard to find a decent hang on the tank skimmer which doesn't look out of place. Got any recommandations?

[Qxnviolet]

bro how long have the hawaii cleaner wrasse been with u? eating already?

[Qxnviolet]

Erm, its not from hawaii, i think its from bali. At least thats what the guy who sold me the fish told me. Yupz, its pecking on the food im dropping in, but not as much as my common cleaner. Hope it's appetite will grow.... Been with me for a few days.

Very nice healthy looking corals and definitely nice rockscaping!

[Copperband]

Bro... how about a remora skimmer..... if i not wrong danano used it the last time he had a nano sps tank..... check it out from him...

[Qxnviolet]

Thanks for your compliment dkk08, im sure with abit of patience and imagination, everyone can has a nice rockscape. One thing that i wished i had done was to create more "caves" for the fishes to swim through.

Copperband, icic....will go try and get some info about this remora skimmer. Maybe i should upgrade to a bigger Prizm.....shRugz.

Anyway, thansk for all the comments people! I love this hobby!!!

excellent pics.. with great tank!

[shoelevy]

heya...very nice set up indeed...

but can i bring your attention to a few things?

1)boycott cleaner wrasse! their survivabilty in our aquariums is quite low due to their very specific diet of parasites which tend to be scarce in our tanks. research has also shown that the removal of these fishes from the wild harms the eco system quite significantly

2)the jewel coral if i remember correctly has quite poor survivability too...it tends to last more than 6mths then suddenly die off with no reason...but if you succeed with it it'd be very wonderful! then do share with us your secrets ok?

3)as for the yellow clown goby...its a cute fish! it likes to hang around corals if you notice...but to take note because that habit can irritate some corals and cause them to not open and slowly die off...mine disturbed my lobo followed by cyarina then my plate...luckily i discovered early and got it out and now my corals are opening once again

hey...once again a very nice setup indeed...nice clean sand!

[Qxnviolet]

Hiya shoelevy,

Points noted but my cleaner has been doing extremely well, feeding on virtually anything from pellets to mysis and brine. But will take note on their poor survivability and see if my does well. Hrmz, which are the jewel corals you are referring to? As for the yellow clown goby, have already netted it and placed it in a betta box. Will prob put it up for adoption soon. Thanks for all the advice! RedDevils, thanks for passing by!
