It has been 1 month since my last update..

1 month since my tank crashed

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..

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...

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..

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..

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.

[pokmingsheng]

believe it or not,

this coral survived 2hours without water!!!

[pokmingsheng]

i need to add more zoas..

time to collect more frags..

thanks jacky for these

[pokmingsheng]

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?

[pokmingsheng]

Last photos of the night..

Mushroom corner..

FTS 2

i seriously need scaping lessons..

somehow, i just feel that my rock scape looks wierd..

my plan is for the left side "tower" to be filled with zoa frags..

i've not thought of what can i put on the right side..

its still empty...

[jackywongto]

yay... all systems restored kiko!

jia you!

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

Pity that the orangy head turns to black after some time......

hmmm... kiko... I think you need better shaped rocks......

go check out julescity artificial tonga rocks.... that 2 piece might be what you need.....

[pokmingsheng]

got my pair from RB. haha..

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..

[MOssrope]

thanks comycus!

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

[pokmingsheng]

haha!

he was selling 4 pieces intially...

i got the first 2 pieces from him...

now outside my house to sun them dry...

HUGE rocks..

currently considering removing the whole piece of LR on the right side,

and i'll put in one of the artificial rock i bought from him..

nice shape...

cant fit in 2.. they're really too big...

[pokmingsheng]

i really miss this guy..

only saw him for one day..

couldnt even find his body..

anyone has a frag of this for sale?

one of my favourite zoas..

dropped off somewhere,

and i couldnt find it

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.

Bro if have another shipment keep me posted also, want to get one also.
