Very nice... can see the improvements from 1 month ago... now you know how much technology and gadgets help in this hobby right?

U are wrong there bro, there are alot of reefers here who are able to maintain very nice reef tanks even with minimal equipment and technology.

There's only so much u can invest in this hobby, unless u're a super rich man or rich man's son :lol:

Bro andylee, thanks for dropping by.

I do understand what you meant. But if you compare ours tank and those pro one (whom has more high tech equipment); I think we are still considered with minimal equipment and technology :lol:

Like mine... not even have chiller & CR :yeah:

Haha bro... I'm not gonna defend my position as you have your point of view there... I am communicating with bro Altantis coz I know he spent quite a bit lately... trying to reassure him that all his hard-earned money is well spent :lol: And yes as mentioned, technology includes photography and also a computer with photo editing software :)

I personally think that my set-up should still consider low tech since I now only equiped with the minmium equipment like skimmer, T5 light and fan...

:peace:

Try not to be humble bro... once you added a Tunze wavemaker that costs 4-digit... you are already considered semi-hightech... :lol::lol::lol: And your tank inhibitants are already showing good signs... so be bold enough to claim your status!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Hey bro after looking at your Hammer pix for a while, I think I know why it's now extending well... you bought the short tentacle type... I also have 1 colony exactly the same in terms of tentacle thickness and colouration... and it is not extending also :o

Thanks bro for leading me to that thread... I will add a link to that thread on my side too... it's very interesting to know people from the other extreme... I still think that I wouldn't come so far if not becoz of $$$... that is my personal view (of course) :)
