At least you can let them grow out into colonies and get your money's worth hahaha. Make lemonade!

[jackywongto]

salah hor.... I did see the price.... but I thought the price is for the picture of the frags posted.

kekeke..... Will be keeping these.....

I tend to buy expensive and sell cheap or at most same price.

Sometimes give away too.....

Want to get back money .... haha very difficult liao.

that's why I cannot run a business......

but life is short..... just enjoy the hobby lah......

at most, my girls no toys for 3 - 4 months.

Only rich people like chief can do that lah...

Normal people see the price and the number of polyps, dun even need to think of buying liao...

[albinosage]

You must at least grow it into a large colony before you can consider selling, to make it worth your while hahaha. I also bought 2 frags, but at least I knew what I was in for lol. Don't worry la, small frags grow faster than colonies, you will recover your money's worth soon!

[jackywongto]

how come?...yr wife dun allow u to surf sgreefclub?

allow but the rule of thumb is that as long as my girls are awake, i should be giving them 110% attention.

getting them out of bed, cleaning up, brushing teeth, talking to them, playing with them etc etc etc... which I kind of agree lah.....

night time, when both of them are asleep, then i can slowly browse and surf.

[jackywongto]

actually mentioning yumas just now... come to think of it, personally i rather spend the money on those zoas than yumas leh....

approx 5 yumas = the zoas i am getting...

not much of a yuma lover....

the problem with yuma is they melt easily and lose their colours...henry also told me he has 2 different yumas placed side by side..one rock melted and the other ok..but can't explain y...water parameters all ok...

[jackywongto]

I still like the rics I collected.

normal orange rics but really healthy and open big big.

happy to see them always.

Peter, even your all green rics also very nice.....

well expanded and have a luminous green trim along the edge.... very nice...

I find that yuma really difficult.... temperamental like woman.....

you can keep them alive, but most of the time, it will lose colour or go thin......

[jackywongto]

Next time will see you cheonging rics...

already chionged already what... they are in my tank now lor....

[seanewbie]

just went to tidy my tank a little Update:

Water Clarity

My tank water now looks really much clearer now. The amount of particles in the water has been reduced probably by about 70%.

The clarity should be down to 2 reasons.

1) the higher water flow through the Chemipure in the MCE 600. The chemipure used to be housed in the mechanical filter module of the Tunze Reefpack 200. The water flow and passing rate is really way too low. with the MCE, I can now have at least 3X the amount of water passing through it now.

2) Filter sock - This thing is really cool. Reefers with Sump really need to use this. I cannot find any reason not to.

Coraline Algae

Good purplish growth all round the rocks. The base of the tank has numerous purple spots too. I have not even dosed any KH buffers & calcium so far. Maybe I should to speed their growth up. The thing I realised is that there is no hairy algae presence.... why?

I used to have tons of that. With the reset of my tank, it is practically the same as a new tank set up. but there is no new tank syndrome... strange. but this is good news

Zoas growth

A lot of the small frags I have multiplied. now a Lot of the zoas are placed too closed together. I need to reposition them (maybe this weekend) and space them out. A lot of the small frags I have and quite well spread. Looking forward to them blooming even more.

Some of them are slowly regaining their colours. It takes about 1 - 2 months for the zoas in my tank to get back its colour.

Rics

The rics are also doing very well. expanded till quite large. Thinking of getting a few more to fill up the rics space... hmmmm....

Starpolyps

Starting to encroach onto other corals now. They really look very nice in full bloom. very healthy currently.

Need to find a way to contain their growth.

Blastos

Peter's mini blasto pulled through the ordeal and is back in pink of health already. So happy.....

In short... all the corals are doing rather well and showing no signs of decline. Fishes are also doing great.

I can even hand feed the Yellow tang. The yellow wrasse and tailspot is fine. My Helfrichi has put on weight and has been white spotless for 2 weeks liao.

Everything is blissful and hope it stays this way

Bro, any latest pic of your tank after the clean up?
