Terry's 3x3x2 Tank

[Copperband]

some of the SPS corals keepers mention that their underside is often white/paler colour due to no light at that place.... it will be slightly beneficial if there is abit of reflective lite down there..... to maintain the colours... Not sure of the exact science though

hmmm... good point..

hmmm... good point..

This point have been lurking around in the reefing society as long as when i started reefing.. Maybe even longer... But it might be a small effects becos it is not taken much into consideration by SPS keepers as you can see, most of them go barebottom(supposed thought to be more reflective)...

Two scooters are hanging out together and pecking around on the location where all the pellets will settle down...

Will know if they are actually eating in a few days time...

Their spawning time will be before lights off. They need time to get accustomed to each other 1st. Pump them with food like mysid shrimp.

Thanks... Guess I am too impatient.. LOL... My last pair took 6 months before spawning but they are a normal brown kind...

The male is eating mysis but no reaction from the female... Female just pecking around...

One side of the scaping is done... Pls ignore the undone scaping... LOL...

Rocks that are made today, wait for the cement to cure and will continue the scape..

[peacemaker]

Looking good, bro! One massive project. Very nice red scooters too! Planning to get one as well.

I "glued" them together using cement... Most of them a medium size...

Saw your post, I like your scaping but with my limited space, giving me some ideas now..

The two glass side that is not used for view at the end will be fixed with the aquascaping foam to give the reef wall feel...

Anyone know anyway to reduce the vibration sound from my pump.. It is super loud... Can hear even when my cabinet is closed... Think my dad will nag if he hears the sound...

[desideria]

wow.... and your pump is outside.. WAHHH.. no idea man about the sound.. your scape is like a funnel.. lol wouldn't it be hard to clean the glass on the sides with the rocks? Or is there space but just can't see it from this angle?

seeing you guys scape and I wanna rescape.. hahah

Should have just gone with internal pump.. :chair:

Actually I am thinking of making it a 1 view tank only.. So only need to clean 1 side..

There are much more space in between.. Will get a magnet cleaner later stage when the algae come attacking.. LOL..
