Hehe... yeah I am the impatient kind... no choice la, running 2 tanks are very stressful and some of the equipments can't share (example Chiller, Reefpack, etc.) So once I transfer over, must do it quickly. But I am very confident lah, been testing water parameters every night.

Will not add additional bioload... just the current one and let is settle for a while. Anyway, I am so broke now... even then, I still have at least 4 to 5 high-end equipments to be added to the system.

I like the 9 women, 1 month concept... hehe.

Yah bro. Cool. Yeah think u better let your tank stablise for a while first. Anyway, your new tank syndrom sets in yet? sure kena one. :D must be ready for it. even me also kena.. so sway... :ph34r:

Bro, a very interesting topic to discuss... I do believe that day will come very soon... look at all the gadgets today, compared to 10 years ago... this hobby will only be half as fun without the great technologies behind... I learn so much within the last 2 months, not just nature but how things works... biology + physics + chemistry... remind me so much of my high school days :)

Bro Alien07, no New Tank Syndrome yet... no time for that :P Well, although mine is a new tank setup, basically most of the stuff are from existing tanks. So perhaps that will minimize the chances of such syndrome a little. Furthermore, I have great faith in the equipments I introduced to the system. With more coming... the tank will be more and more stable.

But yes, I will keep an eye for any sign of distress. I am impatient but I am also very committed. It's a good balance I believe :lol:

A closer look at the 1st and 2nd cavern... looking in from the right side... the 1st cave (from the left) is the largest, leading all the way to the back of tank.

The 2nd cave is much narrower but very shallow coz there's a supporting rock at the back. My 2 Cleaner Shrimps alread conquered the 2nd cave.

The LR are not epoxied/glued. However, they are very stable and sturdy as I spent a lot of time fixing them... like playing jigsaw puzzle.

Definitely more improvements to be done... but I will learn along the way... perhaps a new inspiration somewhere down the line...

Now, when I look back at my first scaping attempt :sick: Need to :thanks: all the bros that highlighted to me the need to seriously relook at my first rock formation.

Looking at the Perc90 right now... this is way beyond my wildest dream... although it is still very amateurish looking, it's my pride and joy... once again, I must :thanks: all the bros that stopped me from buying a 2ft tank. I was "this" close to making payment for it... :bow::bow::bow: Not saying 2ft is not good (later "kena" flame) but definitely too small an upgrade from my Nano.

I can sleep soundly tonight... knowing that my beautiful Perc 90 will greet me tomorrow morning :snore::snore::snore:

Where can I get Chaetomorpha? Btw, hw did u manage to train yr mandrian fish to feed on pellet?

:thanks:

I bought the Chaetomorpha from a bro. Check Pasar Malam as I often come across bros selling extra Chaetos.

Em... no particular training method. Probably I chosen a good specimen, coz I bought this from Irwana, was there during feeding time, so I spotted this guy... eating like a pig. But they only take those left behind pellets on the sand bed. But this guy prefers brine and mysis :D

Yeah sometimes it's very hard to spot them eating... maybe u wanna look out for their "poo". I just saw mine "pooing", so that can also be an indication that the Mandarin is eating behind your back B)

great looking tank..

but just a word of advice,

stock slowly...and steadily..

your parameters may seemed right.

but there may be other factors that you have missed and dont know.

(eg. diseases,aggresion,territorial)

My experience: my four footer parameters were perfect, everything was running smoothly..i added 3 livestock per month..soon enough all my prized and expensive fishes died before me.

This is how the back looks like now... please bear with my clumsy piping work... will do a proper one soon. Converted the left compartment into a refugium, 60% filled with small pieces of LR from my Nano. The remaining 40% for floating Chaetomorpha. Will add a PL light (hanging) on the outside to vertically lit the chamber at night.

The skimmate from the Turboflotor is still very wet. The Tunze DOC is not producing much foam... kick-in cycle.

Where can I buy live Aquapod? Thinking of breeding them in here.

Hw 2 cultivate Copods/Amphipods? Need to hv it for my mandarin! :(

U need some more work on the scaping man....

Other than that.... Great job !!! :eyebrow:

Wah bro... you really a perfectionist... I think I will leave it as it is for the time being... until I'm ready for SPS, then will rescape the top portion. Other than that, I'm happy :D

Yo Jervis ......

Hopefully your alveopora can survive.

I tried to keep it twice ..... but both died after 2 months .....

My Alveopora is about 2 month old now... I bought this tiny frag for my Nano setup... yesterday noticed sump lumps in the skeleton, so I guess it's growing... no sign of "poor health" on this specimen... crossing my fingers as it is one of the most beautiful corals in my tank :D

Hi Jem,

Thanks for your advice. But as proven by your 4ft tank, time is not the only essence, 3 LS a month... still die. Yes patience is one factor, but there are so many others incl. luck! lol. I'm always the lucky one... see if this luck will be with me along the way B)

Will still keep to beginners LS for the next couple of months... that will minimize the chances of a disaster.

I will also continue to keep Nano fishes, like seeing tiny fishes swimming in a 3ft... makes the tank looks so huge!!! :)

Agree... diseases, aggression, territory... etc. That's why I always go for very "safe" kind of LS. Those that you can find in almost every tank <_<
