Maroon clown.

Yup I know about their territorial nature.

But everytime I see a small one, I just cannot help bring him home.

Wow so you bit the bullet at SL bro. I thought you wouldn't be getting anything.

Your Maroon's gonna be king of the tank in no time!

Hey nice bumping into you yesterday. SO that was lemon and who?

Sorry arh... I was a bit disorientated by my 2 girls yesterday and hope I did not pose to be too unfriendly to them.

Ya lor... that was Plan A.... till my girl saw the damsels in the tub and wanted to get those.

So plan B activated.

Yah, maroons are bad. Just gonna get neon gobies, royal gramma and a mandarin later.

Heard CF has Neon. did you see them yesterday?

Lol... Big = more $$ and more committment.

Actually I prefer nanos....

you can get better better eqpt with lower financial muscles.

Maintenance also so much easier. just 1 small pail of water for WC.

Remembered I had to change to 2 large pails for my previous tank.

Large tanks... give you a headache and backaches

If you have time and $$, really 6 ft will be very nice....

I have neither, so this will do for the time being..... maybe until my girl grows up.

Every week let you all chiong like that, to meet up with your expectations = overharvesting corals already.

Arh that was hellbiss..... all so pro at reefing at such a young age.

Make me feel really feel old .......

Neons - big ones look quite scary... Think I will wait for smaller ones. I like small little neons.
