[reaper78]

fell in love with it lol. but sadly it just died T_T.

jump out become kiam cai. when i came home it die already. are fairy wrasses good jumpers?

Mine still in the tank but is a real bully. Kept chasing my anthias.......hehe.... But the way your retrofit t5 looks good. where did you get it from? Comes with the stress bars and simply put it on the tank with no screws/brackets? I intending to add another 2 t5...

more lighting is always good. but make sure u slowly acclimate ur corals to the new lights. otherwise will bleach. despite my efforts in doing so, one of my hammer showing signs of bleaching too.

no la my tank not nice. go take a look at redstar's tank or mr xxx one. v nice

From your pic, the retrofit t5 and ur existing lights are covering up most of the top area right? Maintainence more diffcult right? Boss your have a CR running as well??

yes maintenance is difficult. will have to remove one light set if i want to do maintenance.

no dun hav CR running. manually top up. for me i think CR not very crucial for me since im keeping LPS/softies only

u can have a nice tank with just LPS and softies. my tank now not a single polyp of SPS, and i find that it looks quite decent.

and cheaper also.

after alot of thinking, i decided to sell my Mooish Idol. this baby has been with me for exactly 2 months. eats heartily on anything from dry to frozen food. coral mucus, fish poop and basically almost everything edible. seeing as how faithful and healthy this specimen is, i feel bad for housing him in a small 3ft tank like mine, where space is an issue for him. breaks my heart to see him swim left to right in just under 2 seconds.

with this decision, i have decided to sell my moorish idol to a good fren, reddevilz. the fish will officially leave my tank on thursday when red gets back from his trip. hope he survives well in ur giant 6ft tank. with ample swimming space, im sure he will feel happy. feeding him will not be a problem. greedy as anything this guy. enjoy ur trip red! and have a good flight tonight.

A pic to remind me of what a great companion this guy has been to me. not many of you guys survive the trade and you have proved to be a trooper! good thing is i get to enjoy him for a couple of days more before i say my final goodbyes haha. and lets hope he survives till thursday for his new home!

finally after much procrastination, i finally got a 2nd hand chiller from wilson (if ur reading this, thanks alot!)

the chiller is running on a 2nd hand eheim 1260. set the chiller temp to be lowest at around 26C. with the new chiller, can see my cooler water fish like royal gramma becoming more comfortable and more active. they really like the new chiller (:

very ugly now the hose from the chiller to the main tank. will be like this until i find a permanent way to house it.

haha... why you thank me?? i should thank you for helping me clear my storeroom...

besides, you paid me for it...

A few ways to 'take care' of the ugly hose.

1) Instead of returning to your main tank, return it into the sump instead. Let the main return pump do the job.

This way, you'll need a lower rated pump + u will not see a hose running up into your main tank.

2) If you choose to keep to return to main tank, then run the hose via the back of the tank. Not from the side.

3) DIY or buy a small cabinet to 'enclose' the chiller. (i actually have 1 with ventilation, but am using it to put my table fan). haha...

4) Do up a full height cabinet. That'll cover up all ugly cabling + hoses + other accessories. (last resort)

[wilsontantw]

opps... sorry, i forgot 1 thing...

there's a way you can clean the front netting of the chiller (in the event it collects dust).

here's how you do it...

1) hold the bottom of the net with both hands on each sides.

2) Pull out towards you. (about 1-2cm will do)

3) Pull the entire netting downwards towards the floor.

that should remove the netting and you can then wash it.... (and make sure you dry it before re-attaching)

To install it, go steps 3 -> 2 -> 1. (replace pull with push, replace down with up, etc...)

hope this helps.. any issue, just call me, i can always drop by since i'm just 10mins away.

thanks wilson!!! (: decided to put it in sump la. i tried in main tank but alot alot of micro bubbles coz of the skimmer and the pump being in the same compartment. now its in sump and its micro-bubble free. only thing is it takes longer to chill the tank. but thats ok. it gets the job done vrey nicely. 26C!! never so cool before.

i <3 the chiller lol

[yikai]

always wanted a real blasto. but quite put off by the price for a few polyps. manange to find one with many polyps for reasonable price at your friendly neighbourhood silver cuttlefish or some call them bronze squid. funny, no one mentions golden octopus.

haven fully bloom yet. just got it this afternoon while looking for scraps and leftovers. found it in the "main tank" hehe

wanted to go down to the 'premium' LFS, but was grounded today... banned from LFSing.

End up take pictures for keepsake.

hey, do remember to monitor your electrical bill ah... btw: do you keep track of how the operating hours of the chiller?
