ah icic, good point.. actually I'm using a small submissive pump to generate the inflow instead of the designed air-pump (which has really low turnover), so I'll just monitor this pump, from the looks

It doesnt really matter if the frags are small, actually those who has grown their sps colony from frags have shared with me that they find the growth form will adapt naturally with the lightings and flow of the tank, in the long run, much better and nicer looking than big colony from the wild.

What's most important is the application of right husbandary and patient :thumbsup:

Treat others the way you wanna be treated...

hey bro, thanks for sharing the nori with me, and learnt a great deal from ur dad n u, u guys rock! seriously!

If SPS has another place to call home other than the natural sea, it's here with Vincent and dad, their sps clearly enjoys their husbandry and concept; the polyps looks like a sexy woman's long hair swimming and flowing freely in the waters. :bow:

" The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people! "

No problems on the light combo, take your time. Read on RC alot of reefers use a 50-50 tube distribution, meaning 8 tube fixtures, 4 blueplus 4 aquabluespecial. Don't get me wrong i'm just looking at the popularity on the combo and the effects it has on coral growth and colorations

no worries bro.. actually personally i think a 50-50 is too whitish, and it gets slightly yellowish when ur tubes are old.. i tend to use more blues, to enhance colourations in SPS.. whites have greater PAR values, and promotes more growth.. but i'm more of a 'colours' guy.. :) some of those in RC who uses more blue tubes actually have nicer SPS colourations, from what i FEEL.. just a personal thought.. :welldone:

Hi Vincent, both tanks have very well designed rock scape. All your sps frags are growing very well with good polyp extensions. Fantastic father and son team. Your AT's ich will eventually disappear with good water condition. My Powder Blue Tang, after more than a year still have a couple of ich spots every now and then. I am sure you are aware your AT will not allow you to add anymore new Tangs (haha, I will gladly trade-in all my Tangs for one surviving AT). In terms of agression, AT and Powder Blue Tang rank right at the top.

Once again, well done :welldone:

Looking forward to more updates from you.

ur chilli pepper is bilayered. :ooh:

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.

Eventhough the sps are just frags, by looking at the picture is already an enjoyment... because they all look so healthy and colourful, cant imagine if they grow up to colony size :thumbsup:

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
