It has been 1 month since my last update..

1 month since my tank crashed :cry:

took me quite awhile to come back...

a student with minimum income,

took me some time to save up some $$,

and come back again into this hobby...

here are some pictures of my current fishes..

post-16223-12759232994915_thumb.jpg

inspired to get one after seeing ketchup and desi's hardworking fish..

very fun to constantly see it pecking on the algae along overflow box..

gonna leave one area of algae for it to feed on...

post-16223-1275923327713_thumb.jpg

got this guy from a reefer who decommed...

it was already feeding on frozen mysis when it was in her tank,

but i saw it snatched away pellets from my clownfish 2days ago!

got damn excited.. and its now happily feeding on NLS pellets.. :yahoo:

post-16223-127592336184_thumb.jpg

peacemaker, this is for you!

miss my previous purple firefish when it died in the tank crash..

it was with me since the start of my hobby, my first tank..

post-16223-12759241268169_thumb.jpg

and lastly,

this pair of black clownfish which i got from RB..

with the help of Nitro,

manage to get a decent looking pair..

couldnt take a close up shot of them being together..

will post clearer pictures of them if i manage to capture them on camera again..

Really nice fishes kiko! Reef on! I'm also slowly trying to restock my tank after letting it run haywire and fowlr for the last few months.

I really love the algae blenny. Just got it this evening and its already earning it's nickname "Lawnmower". Really cute and inquisitive fish. Just hope it doesn't take to nipping my future corals. Heard that as long as it's well fed, chances are slim of it nipping at corals.

decide to try this out..

TUBE ANEMONE!

i'm aware of its sting,

thats why it shall only stay at this corner of the tank..

thank goodness it doesnt move around..

read of "rumours" that it will grab and swallow small fishes..

is it true? :sick:

I saw some black ocel in RB today and they are really nice.

i've been searching around for nice pairs of true percs..

love those true percs that are 3/4 black, 1/4 orange..

not easy to find..

so decided to settle on black osc instead..

compy is right... sometimes its not quite a nip as its pecking on algae near the coral, but also pretty attracted corals with low health points(which also in turn has algae around it).

applies to a lot of blennies actually

Brown SPS > Kinder Surprise

White SPS = Kinder Surprise after expiry date

Assumption killed the dinosaurs, they didnt have test kits.

The managed to sort out their hierarchy and were not longer fighting.

but the timid one was a bit weak as he ate only once every 4 days.

I missed the chance to feed him for 1 week as I was too tied up at work and he came out only during working hrs.....

After that, I think he went suicidal. refuses to eat....

then just sleep and sleep to death.... :(

Hi bro, maybe can try put the artifical rock one behind to the right and the other one infront to the left, this way it will create depth in your tank. :idea:
