Clowns and Anemones Only

[southpaw23]

I'm cool....no worries

Good deal on the dymax by the way...am sure the anemones would appreciate the increased light levels.

Photos of the new DYMAX 4x T-5. Had changed the tubes to D&D, 1x Pure Actinic, 1x Actinic+, 1x Mid-day & 1x Aquablue plus(white). Lights lumen deff is much higher now.

[Nitro]

one more pic... Price is $128 with 4x DYMAX tubes, white light but not as solid compared to those that Ive changed to, D&D

The crab given FOC by Glim. It's to feed the Humu Humu.

[Nitro]

It's abt 1.5 to 2 cm only.

[Nitro]

Didn't manage to capture it during it being eaten by the trigger. Maybe next time if got a bigger crab will be easier to capture on cam.

[ah fat]

dude, got a small crab for you. sms me to collect ba. ha.

[Nitro]

Hey Fat, thanx for the offer. Can make arrangements here first?

FTS under the new DYMAX T-5s.

[Nitro]

strange thing is after upgrading to 4x T-5s, the anemones starts to bleached even more... esp those under the rocks.

The red based anemone is new from SeaLife. Tenticles are slightly bleached. The third one above it is also new from SL. It's kind of black in colour.

[Nitro]

My beautiful Haliofungais... very sadly the third one which was my fav RIP juz last week... can't find out the reason.

[Nitro]

The most impt equipment in the tank so far... Working hard and good for a small guy like this.

[Nitro]

The very bleached anemone at the bottom was bleached even more after upgrade of lighting. The top one is new and it's color is kind of black base and tenticles.

A new tank mate, Harlequin Tusk fish. Small size abt 3 inches.

[Nitro]

Tank crashed last nite when I reached home... My new green illuminance BTA got stuck in between two power heads and whole tank cloudy manz. Good thing after changing 3 pails of water, all back to normal liao.

[Nitro]

A group of terror!!!

[Nitro]

But who is the bigger terror! Haha

[Nitro]

"Run for life..."

[Nitro]

No where to run and no where to hide... Die liaoz!!!

[Nitro]

Old resident Blue Tang died today... after I caught it and put in a pail last nite all was fine till this early afternoon it died. The whole fish hardened straight. Seems like death by shocked

[angelfishlover]

wow after you change to the HO T5 4 tube lighting your tank go topsy turvy.You should have jus stay in your 18watts light cause your anemones are adapted to it.The light now you use is far brighter and caused the possible death.The zooxanthellae i think left the anemone cause it is brighter than your old one.Never change the light like from 2x18 watts suddenly turn to 4x39watts.Sure die.

[Nitro]

anglefishlover > Yes, I agreed with you. That's why till now I didn't switch on all 4 T5s. Most of the time, I only switched on 1 Pure Actinic and 1 Actinic Plus. Only someday I'll switch on the other 2 white ones and only for 2-3hrs. Yet my anemones are still bleeched and worse than the last. Keeping anemones with success is really a challenge.

Had done some adjustment to the tank and it's inhabitants. Will update with pics once everything is ok.

[southpaw23]

U mean u caught the blue tang and stuck it in a pail overnight? Did you have any oxygen pump running in the pail?...if you didn't and just left the fish in there, then that's probably what killed the fish.

[Nitro]

To keep my thread "alive"...

Some change of plans to the Clowns and Anemones tank. Most of the bleached BTAs are still surviving and I've left only the long-time surviving paired Golden Stripe Maroon clown, ever small sized Picaso trigger (aka HumuHumu), blenny and two new comer... juv High Fin snapper and juv Harlequin Tusk. Have also added some long tenticles plate, Halio Fungia.

Will post pics once all this stablised. The rest of the clowns are transfered to another tank.
