A new beginning

[wilsontantw]

Hey guys. I'm back online again. Last night in Spain. Will be off to Paris tomorrow. Really doubt will have internet access for the next 3 to 4 days.

But do help post pics if u take them k.

Totally forgot abt the green mantis. Maybe should take out my pico glass tank in the cabinet next to the main.

Must try to ween it to frozen food though. Tough bugger huh, could go without food for so many weeks. No to mention in a small scoop of unaerated seawater.

Yo!!! haha.. wanted to post pics last 2 days but busy with MJ... hahahah

anyway here goes...

Sorry no pic of the mantis.. cannot find him liao...

[onizukaa]

nice pic,haha seems the corals are doing fine with good husbandary from ray

you making WT worry leh, cannot find the mantis

[Ketchup]

200 shots a day not much la.. when i go for photo trips... average i think at least 500 a day... haha.. but maybe only 10% is good... 1% is excellent shot i already very very happy.

Anyway, just enjoy your holidays, i am sure Ray took very good care of your tank.. (contents, probably empty liao!)

[desideria]

IF the mantis is really in the main tank, I think you would have seena different rockscape cause Ray would have pulled down the rockscape and then REDID the whole thing up again! LOL

no la.. one person do damn siong.. need to wait for him to come back then tia together.. hahaha...

[Eniram]

Oh just some updates, ray and i took out all the rocks and baked it under the sun and rain....so confirm mantis KIA!!! Dead carcass found and confirmed its dead!

Don't worry bro its all in good hands!

[Eniram]

so did it "rain in spain"

[wilsontantw]

woah... everything looking good man, thanks a million.

zoas - much better than expected! i kinda expect half the RB zoas to KIA.

rics - 2 of the green rics seemed to have shifted position. hehe i know, cos the 2 were placed at a particular spot to cover some ugly rock hole.

bubble - good size now! seemed like it just enjoyed a good feast...

multicolour acan - nice nice nice... glad to see it surviving!

duncan - beautiful! like you said, this is my success story.

super sun - all polyps open wor

alveo - think it seems like it needs some feeding...

haiya, overall looking damn good, now i can enjoy the rest of my holidays... thanks much bro...

as for the mantis, somehow i just think you guys had it for supper and left it's carcass. doubt it's in main tank, else i would have received a sms from you already.

though, it would have been pretty cool to keep a separate mantis pico hor.

[wilsontantw]

nice pic,haha seems the corals are doing fine with good husbandary from ray

you making WT worry leh, cannot find the mantis

eh, oni bro, how come you use the "kiss" emoticon sia? dun tell me you are with Ray? hmm....

anyway, like you said, corals are doing good under his care, he's got ability to take care of a bigger tank than his current nano.

Andn the mantis, nah, im not overly concerned... i managed to survive 2 years with it in the main tank, if it's in again, then so be it. But of coz, better without lah... so dun need to keep hearing 'tick tick tick' at night.

200 shots a day not much la.. when i go for photo trips... average i think at least 500 a day... haha.. but maybe only 10% is good... 1% is excellent shot i already very very happy.

Yo Ketchup bro, you are semi-professional. I'm just an amateur man... haha... but 500 a day is really excessive man! I cannot imagine sorting out the 'good' and 'excellent' from the rest. Honestly, during the past few days, i tone down alot, only took abt 50 a day, some even use my iPhone. Getting lazy lah...

One of the site worth mentioning is the Lourve, i was really impressed with the design and architecture.

no la.. one person do damn siong.. need to wait for him to come back then tia together.. hahaha...

Desi, Ray: no problem lah, if it's in, then let it be lah... it's fate. hahaha... but im sure Ray and Jeremy had it for supper liao, that's why come up with this excuse! hahaha..

Hehe, thanks bro, i'm sure the stuff are all in good hands, the photos looks good....

mantis, hmmmm... dun bluff lah, it's ok if you guys had it for supper. i'm cool. just get a peacock mantis as replacement, i'm ok.

so did it "rain in spain"

on the contrary, it didn't rain in spain. In fact, the rain was everywhere but spain. We had the best sun in Spain and almost got a sun burn during a short swim/tan session.

But the rain in Paris was boring. Everything look so dull and gloomy, you can tell from the pics. Will post some shots when im back in SG.

anyway, i kinda revisiting the thought of a new 4'. hahaha... but i guess all will change once im home again.
