Thanks Law... I hope to be in the hobby for a long time... so many people decomming is discouraging to say the least.

No, not using Aquabee for the chiller. Using Eden 5000lph pump. Will upgrade to Eheim or Red Dragon if necessary in the future.

Enjoy!

That is only the start up cost.. The stocking cost is going to be even worst.

mine not so bad cause I am going for small little frags from fellow reefers.

These small frags in my small tank looks quite big already.

But the rics are going to going to cost a bomb.

How much is one of those going for?

Aussie rics? price is super high...maybe ard $100+ per head for the very nice ones

[ReDDeviLs]

wow rics nowadays also got aussie 1 ah?

[jackywongto]

Peter everything also go so high end wan.....

I am asking about normal rics lah....

[comycus]

me sua ku... what's the meaning of aussie rics?

Craft, I'm quite sure your stocking up will cost as much, if not more than ure startup

[teebs]

I did see Extreme Corals website listing some rics where they stated as Aussie Rics some time back. So I assume that there are Aussie rics but whether they will appear in the Singapore market is a huge question as the demand for Aussie corals in Singapore is really small due to their super high price.

If you get from GO, the nice ones would probably set you back ard $60 odd. But you could wait for their super offer and you could get them for $25 as their package price.

Crazy leow... ha ha ha ha.... have to do it slowly la

[dachkie]

Crazy leow... ha ha ha ha.... have to do it slowly la

ya bro, do it slowly and be very careful about the fishes you buy , dont buy when ur at a LFS and hmmm haven been buying fish and ching cai get 1

if your wife or kids says daddy daddy can i have this , your answer should be no.

the last thing you want is to tear down your scaping just to catch the fishes out with your limited space.

i have done it couple times and sure have learnt my mistakes haha

[yikai]

wow did not know rics can be found in australia. always though they were from carribean. btw GO got sell rics? never see them selling before.

Some Updates...

The skimmer is pulling out stuff from the tank! Yucckkksss....

Flower crab and some small mysis shrimps in the refugium...

My diamond goby, sifting through the algea laden sand... their behavior is so cute...

[ReDDeviLs]

thats fast? how long u cycle?

ur skimmer pulling out alot of dirt means ur tank is still quite dirty even with min or no fishes/corals/livestock.

perhaps u shld hang on alittle further

[jackywongto]

so confession time.... how many livestock did you get??

We want the truth and nothing but the truth ... hehe
