i like the yellowish zoos ... not considering to give the LEDS a longer trail run ?

Nope... I've come to a conclusion that although the LED looks really ######... it is not designed for this purpose. I'm sure within a year or two... there will be more LED products in the aquarium trade that work well and affordable.

Emm... actually yes and no... perhaps I move the seaweed to a lower flow location tomorrow... but if you look at the Rics behind (2 to 3" away)... you can tell that the flow is not that great... :heh:

Yeah I think if I am to move the seaweed to a lower flow area... that will solve the problem :) But the thing is... the blackie likes to hang around there... play with the current ;)

That is a good sign!!! :D

It show that it is a healthy and happy tang. :yeah::yeah::yeah:

It is their natural behaviour to swim in current. Some tangs will even play with the flow just like playing a water slide.

Went to a LFS for SPS shipment during lunch break today... met 2 reefers there :)

Bought 2 pieces... here's how I slowly acclimatize them... using my Aquamedic Dosing Pump since I can't sell it :erm:

An Acropora which I have difficulty identifying... can someone help ID it? I found some very similar looking species on the net... but can't be certain:

Acropora lokani

Acropora caroliniana

Acropora granulosa

The extended tentacles (or should I call polyps) are quite amazing... readily with the extensions... from LFS tank... to my home tank :unsure:

Colour wise... it is slightly purple/brown base with baby blue tips (with white extended polyps) :) It comes with a small communal crab :heh:

cause your tank condition so good. put anything sure open.

No lah... can't possibly be... probably this is a variant of the usual Acropora... but aren't those polyps lovely? :P
