Started already lor, added the percs and comet. Just check with my mun who is at home now, cant seem to find the perc's body and re-cfm by her that the comet tummy seems fat.

Whole day sian 1/2, like no mood to work. Think i suffering from some kinda of 'down-depression' syndrome from the demise of the percs' haha....

I think i might have to change my 'wish list' now, have to go for slighty bigger and faster moving fishes.....

And the skimmer went bonkers after the mysis shrimp......wet skimmate, hopefully chiller arrive soon as the rapid evaporation rate affects the water level.

[TayHongSiang]

were u the one that got the last pcs for the saddleback??

yup...i went back around 6pm to grab that last cutie....i couldn't find it at first, so i quickly asked Sam...hehe...

[reaper78]

Some pics of the biopellet, used abt 1/2 of 1000ml. Decided to use a 'net' (compliments from irwana) instead of a FR.

[reaper78]

Was pondering if i should place it in the sump or overflow compartment??

Finally decided on the latter as i think the flow rate be much higher. The 'net' of bio pellet is located at the second compartment....
