Some Updates:

A FTS....some slime algae on the sand bed...looking at improving the flow area ........but at the same time, most of my LPS has perished ever since i installed the vortech wavemaker, perhaps flow too much?

Nevertheless....hoping to go into sps only tank...

very nice CT and AT you had bro!

[cool guy]

love ur wrasses... cool fish....

[Harlequinmania]

wow bro..didnt know that you bought a AT.. Glad that you did

Be careful of the red slime algae cos it may spread like wild fire, did you try using zeozym ? Off the skimmer for 3 hour after dosing for best result.

[mitlancer]

Blue accessor, Flame and lineatus wrasse..

U got the blue accessor!!! me too.. very nice and healthy.

All your wrasses are making me envy... sigh.

Didnt use lei. but i notice that it was affected especially at the spot when there is less flow. Yap, love the AT and chevron tang. The AT seems to be the boss of the tank.....hehe

The blue accessor kena some white spots lei, probably i pull out too much mircoalgae the other day, not enff plants to absorb the nutrients....

[Solo77]

hope they can overcome...once that happens, they will be stable. Just monitor your AT and other fishes and all the best. There are reefers out there who got them tank infested by white spot and iches due to white spot from AT, hence just monitor. For your wrasse, they are greedy pig once stablised but the specimen must be health and not cyna. caught...if yes....they can be eating but die later.....since you are keeping sps, must control your feeding. For them to grow fat....mysis will be good but not very good for SPS.....how was the shipment for iwarna...wanted to go but later controlled myself.....hehe...any more mystery....wanting to get one nice purple coloured mystery wrasse also........true....this hobby is a form of destress from work but at time stressing on pocket....lol.

Yap i agreed, although i never keep AT before, i heard they are not easy to keep. The diffcult part is to get em feeding initally and yes, white spot that wipe out the entire tank. I hope i not be another 'victim'.

haha..i didnt go down to irwana, call em to deliver to my place. Btwn so far, i think victor did a great job in choosing fishes with nice colouration and healthy specimen. The rest boil down to my tank condition if the fishes can adapt to it.

Trying to control the feeding, now the only thing is that a generous amount of bacteria (using MB7 and Biodigest) to grow but that take time, probably 1 - 2 yrs....

After a long day at work, i just lie on the sofa, admire the fishes and corals makes me cool and relax......

I think they still have plenty of mystery wrasse , call victor lor!!

[Solo77]

Yup, relax and see yr tank. Thks for the info, that mys wrasse will be the last fish, will take my time to choose a worth one. Lol. Finding excuse to add a bit more fishes. Lol. All the best and see u in lfs. : )
