Bro, 1 radion for a 3x3 tank seems insufficient. And while the scape may look quite bare, as long as you like, that's cool... scaling is like choosing gf.

Michael, this is indeed my dream... some have grown into mini colonies. Now will let time do it's work.

Lol... no chance. I'll be happy if the corals can be in good shape in 3 months time.

Hi David, the springeri cost... can't recall leh. But I'm sure it's not the usual $1 each price... lol.

Bro, the tree was a gift from eniram, recent TOTQ winner.. most of the sps there has been growing for over 6months. Would like to take a look at your legendary trees though. Oh and yes, zoas, no more... queen has them for breakfast, lunch and dinner too.

The frag tank was given away.

thanks Tom... Errr.. transfer from both tanks plus bought a few colonies and the tank is almost full le.. should have built a 6ix instead! lol...

Siang.. I thought you will share more colorful language. Haha.. haha.. not yet. This is shot through glass. Will try underwater next week. les, thanks for your help during the transfer period. You and Jane are welcome to drop by anytime!

One more FTS - under 2x250w MH and 4x54W T5... Shot with Samsung GS II

FTS - 21 December 2011 2 months after commissioning of The 5ive. Pic taken with Canon 500D - f/1.8 50mm lens. Lights - 2xT5 (54W each) Parameters taken this morning: Salinity: 1.025 Ph: 8.4 Ca: 350 (abit low) Kh: 7.7 (abit low) Mg: 1250 (can be higher) Hope you like the pictures... feel free to share your thoughts...

This tree, where it was formerly used to house frags (broken off or unwanted)... have now somewhat blossomed into a tree with many different SPS variants... Thus, christened it the "Tree of Life"

Some other lifestocks that are not so 'hard'... Paired true perculas - hosting lumi green polyps leather Sky blue maxi-mini (aka - mini carpet anemone) purple tip gonio springeri damsel some un-ID soft coral

Like...

More favourites...

More SPS.

Forgot these 2... Chilli pepper Dinosaur egg Somewhere in the center of the tank...

bro.. for frags - the wonderful BSI gel, now at a discounted price at MadPetz... faster chiong!

Finally completed transferring most of the corals over from previous tanks and more importantly, from my BIL - fishchemist - also a fellow reefer, who graciously hosted quite a sizeable number of sps and lps while i was cycling the tank! Thanks bro! The SPS actually blossom while under his care (and 2x250w MH)... so much so, i didn't feel like taking them back. lol. But yah, we should all find some reefing buddies! So without much further ado, here're the pictures. Starting with some Montipora Cap.

Uncle Mike.. what a nice Xmas monti! definitely a must-have to expand my monti collection!

Nice!! do keep the pic and commentary coming.. I still dont quite get the point about the removable panel for chiller though... which is the panel? And where are u placing the chiller?

Another stunning piece to add to your already breathtaking collection! sorry uncle mike, cant help u out on the id. But my secret sparrow tweet to me that you are heading to malacca this weekend? If you are, hope to catch you there bro...

Hey bro... thanks... would try to post as often as I can... Hope you still in the hobby..

;#(:;€<[£=^|[ postings at 1am... darn... Anyway you deserve the credit!

Bro, I ain't buying fish back man... maybe soft corals. That's allowed under Ava guidelines. Ermmm, the thread is actually a delayed update.. tank is already up and running.. haha. quite heavily stocked.

Ah... forgot to update a change in equipment... Was using a 1/3hp daeil which was sufficient for the tank, but due to heat and space issue, this was ro change, barely 1 month after setup. Luckily the piping was done with much flexibility. BEFORE AFTER
