Lemon's tank!

[yikai]

Wow, the sun coral is niceeee......

Nice to see your zoos in the tank. Didn't have time to monitor my tank. Came home and just as I placed the zoos into the tank, kena summon out for shopping duty with minister of home affairs

I agree that the rocks a bit too densely packed. Next time you tear down to catch fish can take the chance to rescape a little hahaha.

Haha. zoos not opening yet =( So far, have no luck with zoos...hope this is not the case lol. Thanks for the comment on my sun coral. Trying to train it to open up during the day.

hey lemon...

finally get to see your tank.

ur tank got lotsa potential! too much empty spaces liao. Slowly stock up and enjoy the fun of slowly doing it.

dun rush...

love the sun coral (from Henry?)

Think you can afford to have some Tangs in your tank... want a Powder Brown? i've recently bought one, but not sure if it's something that i may want for long term... haha.

Haha ok i forgot to mention that the rocks look conjested, but there are alot of space inside. The rock is made like this. Side view | water | water | ( | means rock). From the front u see all conjested, but when u look from the side, there are gaps in between. Like layers. Alternating between rock, water, rock water and finally rock. So from the front view it looks like the rockscape is too packed, but in actualy fact, its not. Haha regarding the overflow, never thought of that lor lols. I live the empty space there with the sand, for my fish to play and feed. There is a sand dollar that refuses to go anywhere but that area haha.

haha okie but we all want it to look nice when viewed from the front instead of the side...hmmm...hehe anyway it's individual preference and do keep us update again!

My tank now got ich lol. Trying to solve it. Seems like it only attack the fish at night..In the morning, the fish all seem to be ich free. at night, all covered in spots. If i get a tang now, will be problematic lol

Haha. ok i'll see what i can do. Maybe add more corals to make the front look nicer

And yes, sun coral from henry. IMO, best place to get sun coral. His sun coral garden explains why. Also, he give lots of advice on how to keep it alive and make it bloom. My sun corals are starting to bloom during the day liao All the polyps are open, but at only 50%. Haven reach 100% potential. Will try to make them open up as nicely as they do at night

i love sun corals. just that im not sure why i have not had consistent record with them.

I just did one round of water parameter test... quite shocking... read my thread later in the afternoon for more details...

now rushing to AM-JK to buy a pH meter and rush to buy some water for water change before CNY comes.

good luck on the ich... maybe can get your fish to feed on Henry's gourmet and pellets... i think it helps.

Trying to feed my fish as many types of food as possible to increase their immunity. I believe i am dam lucky already, as my fish have been suffering the same ich for a little more than a month, Usually fishes die within few days to a week. Mine stretch to 1 month dam good le. I dun have a quarantine tank, so i can't treat the fishes....and i cannot treat in main tank also,coz of corals and inverts. So im just trying to boost their health and HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY they gain 100% immunity to the ich....i have read somewhere that it is possible for fish to grow immune to ich after long term exposure...but it hurts to see my fihs go tru so much stress. Especially at night, where the whole fish will be covered in spots. Morning dun have. only at night

[yikai]

Ich epidemic got worse. Currently removes all my fishes, undergoing treatment. Letting my tank go fish free for about 1-2 months. In the mean time, my fish when cured will go to my cousin's tank. Haha. His tank now empty. Let him try my fish first to get some experience. Meanwhile.....bought some corals hehe. New additions!!

Guess what i bought hehe Giv u clue, 2 LPS and one soft coral. Will post pics later. Now corals still not yet open. GO alot of very nice corals even on new year! Still got 3 pieces of blue zoos left Din get any though....no luck with zoos. all seem to do poorly with me.

[vt_snowman87]

Hi. those pictures are taken during the night. With flash on, thats why looks like in the day. Anyway, am currently training my sun to open in the day time too. Succeeding so far 60% polyp extension during the day. What i do is, throw in minute amount of food every half hour....and let the current blow it towards the sun coral. So for about 2 hours, i throw in about 4 times, small small quantity of food. The sun will sense the food and start to open up. After 2 hours, my sun open up around 60%, then i just throw in the rest of the food to feed it. Mine will remain open, but only for awhile, then go back closing. So far, i think if i keep doing this, the sun will start to open up slowly everyday, and soon, will open up 100% in the day.

Anyway, here are some updates of my tank... Went to GO yesterday and bought 4 corals. First up, my newly aquired 4 head hammer coral. Currently my favourite coral. Opens up very nicely and beautifully. Tip of tentacles are a mixture of green and pink. Got it at quite a resonable price of 2.5 red notes =)

[yikai]

Bought a green bubble coral too! Now i have 2, one green bubble, and one pearl bubble coral. I din quite like the pearl bubble, coz i find the polyps very small compared to the green one. so i went to get a green one and now im happy LOL. Here it is..

[yikai]

Also bought a rock full of blue mushrooms. But it looks purplish when looked tru my tank glass, and also when photographed =( It looks blue when i look from the top down, though....but looks purple from glass tru. sianz!! haha. but still nice nontheless

[yikai]

And the last new addition, a torch coral. It is not opening up as nicely as the hammer is....even though both are euphyllia corals....i thought that both would have fairly same requirements. So far, hammer doing very well, torch beginning to open up a little bit more. Here it is....will keep an eye on it for the next couple of days. Hopefully it get use to the environment and open up nicely for me =)
