sorry to hear that wilson, hope you are well soon enough. if need help, can call for me.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

This morning, I had a sudden thought that reefing took up a lot time, money and effort. Thus was just wondering if I should decomm... Partly becoz I am expecting another new addition to my family in late Jan next year. Plus hiring a new domestic helper.

Really gotta juggle resources. Plus work is getting more stressful, economy not really doing well... Q4 outlook doesn't seemed to be any better...

Again, thanks Murphy, for paying me a visit!

And until I get my UPS backup, hopefully, I don't see him soon...

Or should I just decomm?

The story continues...

yo bro..me suffered the similiar fate like you when my second baby was on the way coming to this world...my mind keep telling to give up on reefing but my passion for reefing pull me through the odds..whenever i need to buy things on reefing...i just need to think & think & think before i can commit to it...

now i also need to get a domestic helper to take care of my kids and therefore my budget on reefing shrink further liao..haiz..

Just sharing..

cheers

Hi bro, congratulations on your latest princess!!!!!

Totally understand your feeling of constant blackouts.. It's frustrating... I experienced it so many times before and i suspect the powerpoint cant hold the strong current coming from my equipments.. Hope you get everything sorted out.... Even if you decom now, I'm very sure you'll be back again in the near future... Whatever it is, I wish you all the best and congratulations once again! :)

hey bro! firstly CONGRATS on the Princess!!!

next your de-com, think it's a waste, as those corals and livestocks that survived the blackouts etc, are really tough and are all survivors, it's hard to find such hardy specimens again.

anyway, i've got some problems too, haha. my chiller was OFF for 24 hrs, and my light blasting from 1000hrs-2359hrs (3 x 250 w MH, 4 x 80 w T5) haha, 1 sps and 1 hooded wrasse gone, but the rest are fine. :)

all the best bro! PM you regarding the visit.

Everybody's favourite... also very temperamental...

post-13920-016969600 1289745563_thumb.jp

Pretty common, but visually very appealing

post-13920-085538600 1289745601_thumb.jp

Some uncommon zoas - still trying to make them stabilise. Lousy survival rate...

post-13920-071148700 1289745621_thumb.jp

More favourites... the purple face has a green skirt.

post-13920-072047400 1289745640_thumb.jp

This purple face has purple skirt.

post-13920-045754900 1289745657_thumb.jp

Interesting pink face with weird pattern.

Courtesy from Bro Eniram - slow grower... extremely slow.

nice! Your frag tank is up and running liao?

not frag tank lah bro... it's holding tank... haha.

Been up for about 6 weeks already, just stabilised. Flow rate still got problem, lots of detritus... damn sian, every week must siphon them out. That's the problem with bare bottom tank.

very nice but the polyps can expand up to 3x larger once settled down.

Indeed bro... the main colony has polyps of that size... huge "petals".

nice frags :)

:) thanks thanks...

waaaaaaa...

all the hidden gems are out!!!

let me know if u have small frags of your fiji pipe organs... :thumbsup:

and is that a purple birdnest in post #2241?

You haven't drop by lately. That's why. Haha. Fiji pipes I only have 1 frag. Someone had requested this awhile ago. Need to give him first right of refusal bro.

I'll frag more next time. It takes a couple of months to culture into a decent size. Also risk of destroying the main colony..

:(

It's close to purple. But more of deep dark pink with bluish polyps. Does look a little purple.

Nice come back, bro! :cheers:

:) thanks bro. I'm glad the holding tank is stabilized now. It helps with the new light set.

How yours coming along??

Cedric says it's prostrata actually. Jade green body with bluish polyps I think.

This piece is not featured in this series of shots.

Hehe..

I also observed mine changing colour with the addition of another 6025.
