Ming Ming's Cube

[ming69]

After joining this forum for a year, finally feel that my current 2ft cube is decent enough to be up here.

FTS first

[ming69]

First bubbles. My big leap...... from mushy & zoos

[ming69]

Got these from a friendly reefer here. Still trying to find a sweet spot for them....

[ming69]

[ming69]

Got the following 3 from another reefer.....

After these, went into a bit of a buying spree

[ming69]

no. 2

no. 3

The current at the bottom of my tank is pretty strong & quite a few mushies hve been blown off. These are some of the surviors.

very clean tank u got there

[ming69]

Pretty hopeless in remembering the names & types of the various corals I've posted so far, pls forgive me for not writing their names.

Here's another mushy..

[ming69]

Thanks big ben. The photos' not showing all the hairy algae.

Another mushy

[ming69]

Think this is a moon...

It came with a aiptsia, which I injected with some lemon juice after reading through the posts here, and was never seen since.

[ming69]

Sunnies. A challenge. But very satisfying when they open up.

hi,

nice tank u have there. maybe you would like to share with us the equipment u are using, like chiller, skimmer etc etc

[ming69]

Some zoos

[ming69]

Equipment running at the moment:

resun chiller

cannister filter

I know I should have a skimmer..... Still working on it.....

Hubby did the rockscape. Though nice but can't seems to find space to put more corals. Lately, been thinking of changing to a 3 x 1.5 tank, so can add more stuff.

First fancy zoo

[ming69]

Recent addition from nice reefer.

[ming69]

Thot these 2 are quite nice but was told that they've been bleached.

[ming69]

Went into a prata craze...

[ming69]

Another prata!

[ming69]

Like this too. Hoping to add different color ones.

[ming69]

Run out of photos. Have to edit some more. Got 4 more pratas lately.

Must agree with sis moi_dar that this forum is very addictive. Since finding it, I've been on it every opportunity, even sons complain that I'm always on the fishy web.

Better get some sleep b4 baby gets up......

[ming69]

Forget to add lights to list of equipment

4 tubes of HO T5 - china brand

2 tubes of PL lights from leftovers

hi sis Ming,

this hobby is indeed Beary addictive... My initial setup thought was 3x2x2. But aafter giving 2 years thought , decided to go direct into this tank 4x2x2.5 . Reasons given by many fellow reefers, that they tends to upgrade from 2 ft to 3 ft to 4 ft, some even went up to 5 ft.

So if u look at the process of setting up and decommisioning thru the process of upgrading, isn't that a chore to redo the whole cycling, buying and setting up again ?

So !!! If u got the space and willing to go one time spanding to get bigger tank, I will suggest u to set up at least a 4 footer tank. I believe too u have by now seen couple of reefer's tank and have a rough gauge of it... Give it a thought . And welcome to the "legal addictive" reefing hobby

[ming69]

Bro fishtalk,

As much as I like to, I think a 3 footer maybe the max size I can have since it's not that much bigger in terms of volume. My dad is flipping already from this cube, as we're in the art biz, artorks & too much moisture don't go very well.

Only reason I'm gettng away with it s b'cos of my no.2 (I brought him to your place). Daddy dearest have a soft spot 4 him.

For the time being, maybe doing a rescape might be able to clear some room.
