A new beginning

[wilsontantw]

if the corals all seem to be opening more, i would leave it as it is.... since your tunzes provides quite abit of flow already... save the electricity and just enjoy the corals =)

nice tank btw, would love to see more pics. take w/ a proper camera pls!! =)

i'll be observing the flow for a few more days.

thanks for your compliment... actually proper camera is one thing... the man behind it is another!

Hi Wilson,

Saw the video of your tank just now... looks good! Hope to see it in person soon.

With regards, to your return, if I were you I will sell the AB5000 and get another lower flow pump. Reasons:

1) 2 return pump is better than 1

2) I don't really think that your 1260 is able to push that much water into your main tank after going into your chiller, at most, I estimate it will be around 1200l to 1500l

3) Sudden drop in current will always encourage corals to respond but if your are not getting sufficient water into the sump to be filtered, it may not be good in a long run

Cheers,

eh, honestly, still way to more to go... buying the corals is just the beginning... to see it sustain and grow is the real challenge.

btw, whenever you free, i'll be happy for you to drop by and give some comments... but honestly, nothing that you've not seen before. haha

to be frank with you... your suggestion is exactly what i have on my mind.

Sustaining our beloved livestocks is a never ending journey, that's why it will be good if we can take this walk together.

Let' work on a date soon.

All the best!

Some update after last weekend's LFSing.

1x sand dollar - forgot to take pix before putting into the tank - darn!

1x sally light foot crab - (darn, should have bought more) again, forgot to take pix... cannot find it today...

green mushroom rock - luminous green.... nice... but the rock doesn't look nice, so i remove most of the polyps, and try to let them stick on coral chips.

1 x Atlantic Blue Tang... colouring up nicely and feeding henry's food (not pellet yet) - still training and hopefully my Purple and Kole Tang will welcome him... (really wish they'll not fight).

and finally bought 2 true percs... out of which... 1 didn't make it!!!! So sad...

This is the one that survived...

(Now am left with 2 choices - either sell it or buy another one and hopefully they'll pair up)

Will there be anyone keen on a 'widowed' 2-bars true perc?? haha.

Btw: does anyone know if there's a name for such 2-bar clown fish???

On this last day of March 2009... some corals update.

Prata Green

Prata Red (green + red)

foreground - some very nice leftover super green alveopora.

[wilsontantw]

Finally found a piece of Bubble... super bright green. (anyone knows if this is Cat-Eye?)

am thinking of selling this much bigger piece now.

[wilsontantw]

Clove with purple/blue lobo

Baby clove!

[wilsontantw]

mushies, some new, some are colourful...

I think the blue spotted ones should be able to frag when i have time...

The pink ones should be good for frags too! Just need some time to get the hands wet.

Maroon with blue dots (just spotted a new small piece on the same rock)

Mixture of new and old mushies. Some new zoas on the top right hand side.

[wilsontantw]

Some new palys in the foreground, and zoas at the back.

Pink zoas, bought quite some time ago...

There're plans to start fragging in the next few weeks...

Same pix, top left corner are some new ones as well...

(May have some spare frags to let go... PM if you're interested)...

Alrighty... thats all for today...

[wilsontantw]

My new 'toy'... (back to childhood days)...

hehe...

anyone interested in RC??

Still beginner lah... but drifting is really damn fun!

[albinosage]

Wow Wilson, I always assume that I've seen or commented on your tank thread before, but turns out I was wrong haha. Interesting read, and very nice tank!
