Hey stewp, I'm luke fr ur hall. Alr heard from Benny earlier that hellbliss had been gradually spreading his poison to you.

Haha, welcome to this really exciting hobby. I cannot stop working on it even in the midst of exams. Seems like it is becoming a problem.

Anyway, I saw really small yellow clown goby (Abt 1cm only) at Aquamarin just now. Will be a good addition once your tank is cycled.

Alright, back to my books. <_< Look forward to more updates from you

nice Stewp.

Keep those photos coming.

If you need some oyama sticker for the background, I have blue and black ones that I can spare.

The other thing to note is that if you notice your tank has a layer of dust/oil on the surface of the water, then you might want to get an surface skimmer to attach to your U hose.

Eqpt: Deltec MCE 600, Tunze 6055 with Tunze 7091 controller, Artica 1/15 HP chiller, AquaIllumination Sol Blue LED Light System

2011 resolution : Do it simpler, better and in an easier way!

Thanks for the offer!Will see how it goes...looking to build a acrylic housing to house the lights(Still planning)..which would conceal the pipings.Yups definitely will look into surface skimmer but will see how the lily pipe works first.Hope it creates enough surface agitation.

The day of unfortunate event:

1. Woke up at 9AM to go down to CF with some fellow reefers to get some rocks. All the way there----->quoted $40/kg!!! :blink: think the employees don't know the price?!HAHA!But the 'auntie' not there so had to go back empty handed z.Z

2.Luckily in the afternoon was in town area so decided to drop by reborn to get the rocks after finding out they do have LR/LS. Suay suay it rained.....and no place to park!-_-end up park super far and all drenched!

3.Setting up the tank!Happy?!Ehh...not really....ahah!After getting all the tubs and stuff ready...decided to pour the NSW into the tubs...but who knows...my "strong" hands decided to let go of the bag!And voila!indoor swiiming pool!(*)^(*&%*&%$#&^%#&^#

I took like an hour+ to clean up the mess and the floor still feels sticky!My mum nearly flipped!

4.Setting up the tank was smooth(i think)But after setting everything up, in my anxiety realised that i forgot to clean up all the crap on the rocks...but i am really too shagged out to do anything else!AHAHA!guess will wait till tmr!

5.Last but not least!I forgot to get epoxy to glue the rocks.........but i guess its ok for now....i think?will get it asap

Here's the initial scape!Quite noobie i guess...comments?
