try tearing down your scape every month and do a minor rescape with every WC....

After a while... u sure can! stuart.gif

Spare me the agony.... Was trying to save the shrimp from anemone on sand bed just now that my armpit have to get wet to barely touch the anemone. In the end still cannot save it cry.gif

Even I do not eat $6 a meal!!!! pinch.gif

tank kinda just settled down... bought the black sand from aquamarin, mix it with the black sand i used to use from iwarna... prefer the one from iwarna, the black colour is darker and nicer...

Hi bro, maybe u can put in the rest of the live rock on the front left, center and right forming a M on the sandbed connecting to your present scape. The rock u put in should be gradual connecting upwards so that it will look natural. A suggestion. =)

It should do well, since it is already acclimatized to captive conditions.

Always something more important than fish.

thumbsup.gif your scaping looks good bro... I think you like tanks that has a large area of expose sand... (actually I like it that way too...)

looks less cluttered.. now you can slowly fill the tank with nice corals.

FA will get weaned onto pellets rather easily.

Think you really missed your splendid.....

Very clean and nice scape bro! Agree with Ray on the top right portion of your rocks though, maybe you can keep a lookout for nicely shaped rocks and replace it in the future.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

actually its quite firm up there..

managed to "fix" it somehow..

but it does look abit oversized and wierd...

like what you guys said, looks unstable.. hahaha..

shall change that area..

thanks for the advice :)

forgot to mention i saw about 3-4 dead kittens under the hot sun at the back alley when i was walking towards Reborn yesterday..

one of the kitten had a deep cut on the head and i could see that it was starting to decompose...

it was a very sad sight..

those poor kittens were born under such horrible conditions..

i wonder if anyone of you guys saw those dead kittens lying on the middle of the pathway,

at the back alley leading towards Reborn..

i was there just to take a look at the fishes that just came in..

grabbed something on the way home.. :D

i know the back of reborn is like a cat breeding ground.

poor kitten.. someone must have abused it or maybe it was its siblings

was waiting for people to go reborn with haha! but just too lazy to go myself

i have that zoas too.. its called eye of rah i think.

lost its colours very quickly as my zoas are scattered in bad spots

Brown SPS > Kinder Surprise

White SPS = Kinder Surprise after expiry date

Assumption killed the dinosaurs, they didnt have test kits.

hey reefers,

i've got a question here,

not sure if this question can be replied in time before i head down to AM tomorrow to take a look...

got an email from them that their Maldives Shipment just came in...

there's so little information online about MACROPHARYNGODON CYANOGUTTATUS, is it the male of MACROPHARYNGODON BIPARTITUS?

understand that the MACROPHARYNGODON BIPARTITUS is the female Splendid Leopard Wrasse that i got previously..

is Macropharyngodon cyanoguttatus the male version?

i've only got pictures of that when i googled it up,

no names other than its scientific, not much info about it..
