Not the fault of the little fish lah. It was created that way. If you want to place fault, put it to you for not knowing how the fish would behave in the tank as you're the one who bought it, not that the little fish travel from the sea into your tank all by itself. :heh:

ya lor...bro.. you are right..it's all my fault... <_<

However, I did read on coral goby from the website... In general, they are reef safe.... but doesn't mention they are "too" reef friendly that they love to hide in the Acro and Milli... :paiseh:

I thought I was in RC for a moment as these things like lightset comparison are usually done with our western reefers. Thumbs up for the review!

Bro, is your frag section having any wave maker ( cos i didnt see any ) ? If not, you may wish to consider adding one wavemaker for your sps frags :rolleyes:

I actually have 2 "U" pipes connecting the skimmers section to the frag tanks by use of gravity (on the left side of the frag section)...

there was actually another water outlet directly to this section from the Zeovit Reactor but had changed the outlet to flow near to the new skimmer ...

post-16749-060244500 1285743812_thumb.jp

Do you think I should change back??

Can't really tell the flow strength current provided by your skimmer output enough or not...but in order for your frag tank to thrive, there must be sufficient flow. IMO there should be at least around 5000-8000 liter/hr flow rate base on yr frag tank volume.

May be a good idea for you to change back the zeovit reactor output back to the frag section :rolleyes:

Treat others the way you wanna be treated...

This is very important: Power protection...

If you don't want the power surge on the tank or faulty pumps or any power problem on the equipment to affect the whole power supply of the house you should get this ... I connected my main power source of the tank to this device...so that any power surge will stop at this plug..

I also installed a DIY UPS which will provide at least 12 hrs of continious power supply to the two MP40w and the 7500L/H return pump...this will give me ample time to handle any power breakdown <img src="http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eyebrow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eyebrow:" border="0" alt="eyebrow.gif" />

Bro Clee,

Can U direct me to the shop selling this UPS, please?

Thanking U in advance

Little black knight still going strong leh. Btw: I see an Atlantic Blue Tang. Is that new?

The little blackie has become a young knight now... I think it has doubled or tripled it size :thumbsup:

I had just released it to the main tank in x'mas night from the sump and kept my fingers crossed... luckly, after 3 days of hiding, it finally mixing well with the rest of the big brothers and sisters.... :friends:

BTW, the ABT has been with me for about a year now...the body colour has changed already.. :cheers:

very nice clee... Love the fishes... :P:welldone:

Thanks sis,

If you like fishes.... you will like the following show....

Over the past few months, been no luck in keeping AT in my main tank mainly due to the following factors:

1) been acttacked by purple tang, bule tang, and power blue tang, etc..

2) suddenly change in water parameters and tempeture

3) easily contracted fish sickness such as white spots (particularly in the fisrt week)

4) limited food source and stress

My first AT (about 2") only managed to live for 4 days after being attached by the purple tang...

My Second AT (about 3" big and fat ) managed to stay in the main tank for 3 weeks and died after a major swing in water parameters as I adjusting my MG, CA, and KH from CR to dosing pump..

My Third AT stay with me for 2 good weeks, after being chased by PBT of the same size for 24 x 7, stressed and refused to eat..

My Fourth AT, pullets eating on day one... survived for 3 weeks and was sent to the lord due to a breakdown of my chiller and a wavemaker for 2 days...

So, decided to take a different strategy this time....

1) They are a pair and healthy - this makes those big bullies run for their money <_<

post-16749-0-47342900-1294118758_thumb.j

2) They must be able to eat pallets already...saw these two in LCK after 1-2 week of shipment and eating pallets...I think this is the key for survival... :agreed:

The following are some interesting dog fight in the tank (or should I say fish fight):

very rare to pair AT successfully.

Highly territorial and demanding fish and very very difficult to sex. to have a pair (i'm assuming M and F), is truly amazing and very difficult to accomplish.

not to mention they are not sexually dichromatic and dimorphic meaning u cannot tell the sex from colour or form. and that makes sexing them extremely difficult and can only trial an error.

good job!

make sure you give them pristine water quality and PLENTY of wave.

AT like high oxygenated water in strong surge zones. they inhabit these areas in the wild.

rule of thumb. AT = SPS.

need flow

need good water quality

need high O2 lvl

very sensitive

very beautiful

need alot of space

AT do very well in SPS tank because the requirements are very similar.

good job!
