weileong's 4ft tank

[roidan]

my AT always is the nearest to the glass compared to other tangs...

maybe he just likes his photos to be taken...

yours maybe a little camera shy...give him time...he will hog the limelight in no time

[weileong]

whoa! you mean #### got new sps?

Sorry to disappoint you guys, it is old brown out stock... no $$$ so go buy the brown ones then try my luck and see what color I get

[riot]

heh heh you mean the tikam tikam sps?

I buy them too - so far no change. But at least they dont rtn'd easily - they have survived being fondled by tons of browsers and weeks in display. Cheap sps for cheap people

[AlfaRomeo]

How much are the browned out SPS going for anyway? can consider .. hehe

[weileong]

cheap enough for you to afford Can buy at least 10 of your 12x turbo twist.

[weileong]

some growth photos.

Unfortunately I broke too frags off this pc else sure see more growth.

[DeepBlue]

dude....good growth

[weileong]

Wondering what will the color turn to eventually.

[weileong]

I thought this colony was hopeless, at least now I compare the photos and saw some growth, keeping my finger crossed.

[weileong]

another one.

[AlfaRomeo]

Wow , very nice colors weileong...

how do you know what the eventually color of the sps will be when its all brown when you were picking it?

[DeepBlue]

.........veri nice!!!! ...how I wish my sps colour up so nicely....

you got your pink bird nest yet??

[weileong]

I got no idea at all since it's brown out stock so just choose the shape I like. The rest is up to heaven I guess but the other day the senior reefer tried to help guess the color so let's see how it goes

[weileong]

no chance for pink bird nest yet

another one. What SPS is this?

[FuEl]

Millepora? *shrug*..still sps noob.

Anyway..amazing change in colouration.

[weileong]

This is the kick I get from keeping SPS, seeing them grow and coloring up.

Especially more kick when you compare photos and see the grow and color changes as you see them everyday and really doesn't notice the changes.

Have a couple more small frags that has some growths but will post them sometime later when they show more growth. Some of the frags are pcs that broke off from the main colony.

Yea agreed. Maybe one day we should oraganise a frag exchange between sps keepers? Then we can see the color changes under different lighting and tank conditions. Won't that be cool? Imagine a green specimen turning yellow in another guy's tank.

Now the day has arrived.

My AT started eating non-bite sized nori. Will be easier to feed from now on. It also start to fight for food with the rest of the tangs.

Not too good photos has I don't have much time to focus properly.

[weileong]

another piece of norti. You can see the three new super brown colony added this week

[weileong]

Close in but unfortunately a little out of focus else perfect shot

No more white spots visible on the body. The white dot on the body is not visible to my eyes, could be some particles floating in the water that happens to be in the line of sight.

[weileong]

Received my contraphos K this evening.

Had moved my skimmer out of sump so now had more space.

Put my very old fluizied bed filter back to action.

Fill up with 500g of contraphos K and now happily fluizing the contraphos K away. Running on a NOVO tune down to abt 500 l/h.

With this unit running, I've one less worry now.

Still sourcing for a larger unit so I can get higher turnover.

[DeepBlue]

wah...me gong to get one like that soon ..must go check out petmart or anglee..saw one there that day

[weileong]

if you do go there again pls check the size they selling. height and diameter. These type of reactor no need high tech one and of course price

[patrick123]

Weileong,

Congrat on your AT starting to feed and also the white spot is gone.

My PBT and YT are still doing well. Eating garlic soaked mysis shrimp everyday... The PBT is especially hungry. Unfortunately, all my clown fishes are riped out. I believe is some clown fish disease or white spot but somehow not affecting the tang. Keeping my fingers crossed. And I won't buy any more LS from R*B*** anymore.

[weileong]

Got my DV today so got this shot. More high res photo will be posted as soon as I get the hang out of all the software.

The pump to the UV was switched off yesterday as I rearrange my sump and I forgot to turn it on until this morning. Disaster as a few white spots appear on the AT & BT. Good news is all of them still eating very well.
