Here's a FTS. All pics taken from cam hp.

Nice scape, this kind of scape is high maintenance, you need to constantly keep algae growing at the back of tank as well.

nice..

always love a tank with depth..

just that its gonna be quite a problem if you have to retrive anything from the sand bed,

or re-arrange anything in future...

alot of your space on your sandbed!

i can imagine it filled with beautiful corals...

gonna be really nice...

[Nitro]

Maybe can consider shifting the 2 wavemakers to the 2 sides of the tank so that you have a nice and clean backgrd. More natural too.

The 2 pump is temporary as I'll be getting a wavebox extension. The nano wavebox is having some prob after the move. Think it's the pump cuz there's a "clicking" sound when it's running.

Dun think I'll be filling this tank with lots and lots of corals. Wanted to make it look like a drop-off and also to give as much space for the fishes to swim. Will take my time to stock up on some corals.

so the black tang in the first tank was yours....nice and stable specimen. Looks like you are a fish lover also. Hehe. Must exchange pointers. Hehe. Nice setup.

Need help to ID this Sepiidae (cuttlefish).

Captured it on my cam hp as it feeds on a Sexy Shrimp. Amazing!

It wasn't mine, was asking abt Black Tang and aunty said they've got one and so I bought it since my last Black Knight died for no reason. But this one is not the jet black specie, might be getting a jet black one once they're in season again. Usually they come to our shore in year end.

This is the "Island" on the right side of tank. Planned to keep this island for Carpet anamones and some giant shrooms.

The 2 pairs of clown had been with me for more than 3-4 yrs.

It's amazing how u can keep a flamboyant cuttlefish in your main tank with so many small fishes together! Did the smaller fishes not become food to the cuttle?

[yikai]

omg flamboyant cuttlefish

[Nitro]

As stated, the cuttlefish is in the refugium. Not sure how long it can last but it's my first time on this animal. So far it had eaten the anemone (sexy) shrimps and still doing fine.

It's $100+, bought it from CF.

From the size, seems quite small only... They have a lifespan of 6 months to a year...

ML used to sell $250 + for a pair... It even spawned and hatched in Henry's sump.

[Underwater]

Wow, $100 for a cuttlefish...and you feed it with sexy shrimps. Expensive meal though.

[MarcoVan]

Nice cuttlefish Nitro!

Any chance it will deal with freshwater shrimps? those sold for arrowanas or luohans? (:

Happy Reefing,

That is sad.... Any idea why?

Bro, just keep the UV on for a few days.

My 2 purple tangs. Find them very strange cuz one has a doted patterns and the other has the normal stripes patterns and it has abit of bluish tinted spot at the centre of it's body. As the pic shows...

[Nitro]

The black tang that was from CF. I think it should be call Ghost Tang or Chameleon Tang instead cuz it changes colour and tone the most as compared to the other tangs (Yellow, Purple, Brown, Sailfin and Gem). Some days it's jet black, some days it's black with the stripes like the brown tang and some days it's faded to almost translucent.

[Eniram]

Nitro, keeping maroon clown and true percs isn't such a good idea, they will in time become very territorial to other clown fishes. Experinced it before and had to remove both maroons!
