I saw yr nice blasto on yr frag shelf...hehe...looking good man....nudis are a nuisence...they breed very fast and keep coming back like terminator T800

oh yah... that blasto... picked it up from kim sotong... it's a left-over. has about 7 or 8 heads. quite a good buy actually.

i placed it on the frag shelf coz found it is easier to feed it.

it almost didn't make it as i neglected it for a few months. It was so 'skinny' until can see skeleton.

now it's so much more fleshy and it's ready to be placed back to the main rocks. (when i find space for it). hahaha..

haha... very imaginative!

it's a flashing red light alright... but unfortunately not connected to my tank yet. I placed it there coz no place else to put...

But wouldn't it be nice if it flashes when little boys/girls touch the tank???

Probably if i finally decide to splurge on an Aquatronica.... haha...

wah... share some pix bro... i'm thinking of some more actually.

blastos... i usually spray them with cyclopeeze first (tempt them to open tentacles) - i believe they do take cyclopeeze.

Thereafter, i target feed with henry's food. (only the left overs after feeding the fish).

it's quite a joy to see them feed... must slowly fatten up mine... they've been starving for too long.

hth.

remember previously wanted to pass u the big boulder? now i having 2nd thoughts to keep it for the 4footer... so am keeping it for personal use.

If you see any good 4 footer on sale here, please let me know...

regarding your overflow... it could be due to the diameter of the overflow pipe diameter too small? hard to say leh. Must see some pix... quickly start your tank thread!!!

c'mon...

take ur time and slowly set up... the fun is in the setup and stockup.

2.5 feet... fish very poor thing... keep swimming in circles... tangs (my favourites) cannot do their usual sprints...

and can't add any more fish as well... as the PT and KT turned bullies whenever i add any fish...

so yah... it's about time to hunt for some good tanks around... if still can't find then i guess i may have to build a brand new one.

:(

Perhaps, seal up one of your bedrooms water-tight. It'll be a heck of a tank. You'll have to dive in to maintain it... LOL
