It all started with a really pico tank 40 x 20 x 20 cm (16litres) at the bottom tier of my fresh water set up. I couldn't get a much bigger tank as i have other equipments sharing the lower tier. A pics of my freshwater planted tank.

Upper Tier

I've got all the equipment from my fresh water set up, and hence starting cost was only one packet of salt water and 2 KG of liverocks. No wavemaker was used as the powerhead for overhead filter serves as a wavemaker as well.

Everything else was reused and the cycling of saltwater tank begins.

Lower Tier

Equipment List:

40 x 20 x 20 cm Tank

Overhead Filter

13W PL Light

DC Fan

Tank was taken down and upgraded in about 1 and a half months time.

Tank was upgraded to 1ft cube , shifted everything from the 16Litres tank to this cube tank.

Tank size was still too small for me to try out corals and other fishes as well. And eventually couldn't resist the temptation and after much hesitation, I decommed my fresh water tank and give away my tank and equipment and got myself a 2ft cube tank.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

I've gotten a small blue tang for about a week or so. It is almost impossible to make it feed . Not interested on pellet, seaweed on clip nor brine shrimp. However, he only took notice of those greenies on my turbo snails. Anyone got any idea to make it feed ?

Looks like he has got some skin problem as well.
