Justin: Yes, definitely will be getting MORE anthias..haha...i still have turtle queen anthias, randall anthias and squareback anthias to add...hur hur...the sun coral u see behind is from comycus...actually i have one more sun coral...but ever since i fed one of the polyps with nudi which i caught..they stop opening...

Comycus: when i got the lyretails from SL, they were already living peacefully in a small tank...so was quite alright...partly also, i already have a couple of female yellow anthias...

Thank you for your compliments

yup..this coming fri RB has shipment...i think its one of those midnight show again...but i will only go down on sat...

chiller's perfomance better now...doesn't kick in that often and long...but that is partly because i only switch on 2 tubes of T5...have to monitor further...for LPS and softies is ok...if i want to go into SPS..then will have to save up on upgrading the lights and chiller...that will be long term plan...slowly stage by stage...coz i dun have ah kong to give me money...haha...correct or not bro..

haha...ah kong?? Bo pian wan lah, reefing is not a cheap hobby lor. Yah bro, slowly upgrade since the tank gona be with us for the next few years or longer. SPS ah, go for LED in the future at least it doesnt affect the temp much.

Any idea this fri shipment at RB from?

I saw irwana using 'bailing' method for their outdoor pond instead of a CR. Think also quite cost-effective right?

no idea from where...if its midnight show..then probably carribean...

there r pros and cons of using CR and balling...but i read in PFK..some reefers do have preference for balling due to better control over the mg, ca and kh...n u dun have top up CO2 gas...except balling requires u to constantly replace the bottles of mg, ca and kh...

Yah lor, like you mentioned, pros and cons for each set-up. But the bailing part lesser equipments to meddle with....btwn today irwana/GO/Reborn got shippment today right? Probably cos tmr is a Ph!

Btwn AM still got the 'turtle' anthias, i think left 3 as of last nite. hehe....and MB7 Bacteria is in stock!
