wilsontantw Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 some pictures on the updates scape. actually it looks kinda ugly now....but i think it will look better when coraline grows over the pale rocks and once i reshuffle the few lose pieces of corals, and add summore. i really like the openess of it now. yo Lemon, the new scape definitely feels a lot roomier! though 'lesser' space for corals, i'm sure you'll can fill them up with 'gems'. hope i'm not throwing a wet blanket, but visually, does it feel 'heavier' on the left? nonetheless, still a very improvement over the old one. decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute.

SRC Member TayHongSiang Posted February 1, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 1, 2010 The new FTS is much better.... Try not to place torch...their sting is quite strong. Probably, less aggressive ones like red gonio, alveopora or even SPS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shd give u more space.. i used the betta box because some of the frags inside consists of lose polyps of mushroom corals. they float away really easily so a betta box works fine for the time being. otherwise my frag station will be used.

These fishes that survive from initial tank setup are very very hardy. should keep them regardless. They are like commando- trained already.

I having the same dilemma. I wonder if i should put my tomato clown and boxer shrimp in my main tank.. sentimental reasons make me unwilling to sell/give away these 2.... However, i also worry my tomato clown may bully my small black osci (though they unlikely to go near the BTA as not natural host). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
