I got the pics... But forget the USB cable :cry2: ... Now at the office.. Super sian...

Anyway so far already spent like a couple of K

Never touch any zero yet leh...

Also just turned on my chiller last night. Now at 29C. Will drop it tonight to 28C.

Gradual drop to reduce shock to tank inhabitants although now only have 9 snails and some mushrooms that came with the LR....

So Corals or Fish first?

I reckon corals. What say U?

Going to get one sand shifting goby, algae blenny and a fox face. All help in cleaning the tank. Sounds good?

Maybe a week or so then some hardly LPS like hammer, bubble and elegance.

Sounds goood?

Here's an update pic... Lights a bit bluish.

Full tank shot,

my mini refugium with ulva and cheato and biohome in the back ground.

And lastly my fav snail... Got antenna one.. Helps to sift the sand too.

Will take all the suggestions. Trying to slowly fill this up to make it in time for CNY.

No updates available cos move to new house. Internet connection only up on wednesday. Now can only surf in office.

Anyway my Naccurciss (dunno how to spell) snail laid a whole lot of eggs last night. Should I scrap the glass? Good food for my corals?

Anyway added a torch, a bubble and some yuma mushrooms over the weekend. Mega sale at iwarna. All bought at a very very good bargain.

I only have a very thin layer of sand. think I cant keep that many sand stars. Any pics for these stars?

If you have a very thin layer of sand... I suggest a single Sand Sifting Star will do :)
