yeah... This current setup is way better than Vortech actually. Guess I'm a Tunze convert

Have been toying ard with the idea for sometime now, thank goodness I managed to sell the Vortech or I wouldn't know how to fund these new toys. Will post more pics tonight, still have a new upgrade tt I have been eyeing for a veeeery long time and am v. happy with the purchase

Haha!xmas is season of giving ma~humans and fishes alike!Besides it makes you happy to see your fishes happy!

yeah! But I think better put the nano wavebox on timer. My clownfish having difficulty sleeping... prob had a sleepless night yesterday!

Btw thx to Lawrence for helping me tune up the wavebox! The waves hitting 2" when I checked this morning! Dunno if it's too strong though... will monitor and play more tonight...

[MarcoVan]

wah... tunze wavebox?

SWEET!

that's a BIG toy!

okie... my gf's current fav coral. Bought from RD recently.

My coral stocking will prob be following this trend in future as my gf wants it to be more 'natural' not like tt "ugly looking thing". (my gf's term for my favourite brain corals... )

And about girls, it's natural lah. Just let her call what she wants and best of all, buy something she wants and she should be keeping quiet about any future corals you be buying for a long time to come! teehee (:

and also most importantly, ask her to give your corals name. My gf calls my ex-zoas "feathery flowers!" and my tubeworm "Wormy!" hahaha

Happy Reefing,

6315 wave box?

[comycus]

SWEET!

that's a BIG toy!

6315 wave box?

lol nano nano la... 6206.

My wallet has too much space, and tank not so much space to get the bigger brother.

Btw, anyone knows what the controller 6091 can do? It has master and slave ports which can control up to 2 waveboxes simultaneously. Just wondering, can it control a 6055? Also wanna ask how high/vigourous should my waves be? Currently it's hitting ~2" from peak to trough.

Some pics of my new toys...

Tunze Nano Wavebox. I tuned it down to 1" wave for the time being. Gonio doesn't seem to like the strong wave, will try to let it acclimatize before going back to 2" waves.

Tunze nano stream 6025. Decided to get this small, efficient and relatively cheap pump to circulate water as the wavebox doesn't really help much. It only creates oscillating waves.

Overall, I like this setup more than my Vortech MP20. More flow, nicer waves, and think the rest of the corals love it.

[comycus]

Added some LED supplement to get the royal blue effect! Still can't go full LED yet as my budget doesn't allow me to be that spendthrift, but nevertheless nothing's gonna stop me from getting the crazy luminous effect!

time to see some FTS with the LED lights!! lol..

Long overdue: my updated scape... Tank's still pretty bare after selling some of my corals as they weren't in line with my gf's requirements and lost a few to stress after the rescape

As you can see, lots of swimming space on the RHS to cater to future fishes. As usual, will only reveal the 'best' side, the other 2 views are really still crappy

your elegance still going strong.

[TayHongSiang]

Lots of parking space......

lol tt box size, quite easy to guess I suppose.

finally another FTS.

hahaa need more skill and $ before I get a worthy FTS... hmm Elegance is doing ok, but not as big as before, will have to look for silverfish soon I guess.

[comycus]

wha.... finally... lol...

Haha yeah, corals that look alive.. With the wavebox, they look even nicer now

Lots of parking space......

Maybe it's the new space, but my exquisite keeps flashing and swimming in the open. Same as my male lyretail. Think the 2 of them competing for bragging rights.

[stewpid]

woot! finally a FTS!The rock at the bottom left is really nice!

[comycus]

Yup, I love tt rock. Too bad my tank's small, it actually looks better at other angles, but can't fit into my tank

Anyway... I would like to introduce everyone to the newest star in my tank. My mom loves it, my gf adores it, and I think the other fishes are getting abit jealous of all the attn it's getting. a sneak preview...

[sheltiejazz]

Just wondering...thot the butterfly will nip at the corals?

[comycus]

Just wondering...thot the butterfly will nip at the corals?

I believe they are relatively reef safe. They will wipe out any feather dusters, tube worms within the tank. Luckily I don't have these. And it's also currently already feeding on frozen. Chomped down on mysis immediately after adding it into the tank. Whether it nips my zoas and other corals, really have to cross my fingers. Hopefully it doesn't take to doing it. It has already taken to wiping out the only aiptasia I have in my tank. I don't see it anymore! Not sure if the copperband ate it, but I did see it swimming ard the area for some time earlier this afternoon

[comycus]

More pictures of this beauty exploring my tank. The colours are really amazing. Prob not as deep as it's companion, but I couldn't take tt one coz SOMEONE kiasu reserved it the moment it came in... (haha btw it's feeding already, waiting for you to collect. Fairly aggressive fella, was chasing my copperband ard the tank...)

[straydum]

very nice tank there

i always thought copperbands aren't reef safe, guess there's something to learn everyday
