Very neat looking tank bro. Never kept more than 2 tangs at anytime so I don't know how peaceful your tank inhabitants will be. Your bioload will be quite high, hope you have that part figured out haha.

HAHAHA fish so slippery and slimey.... you go and cuddle your Ketchup better la I'll keep it for you and let it heal first la. In case you change your mind, you'd still have a complete piece to put in the tank. Your fiji pipe organ no hope liao, only 20% of the polyps remaining. I left it at the back of the tank cos it is quite ugly now ahahaha. Haha, it is partially melted, I wanna let it heal and to let lemon have the chance to take it back when his tank is up before I decide to frag for myself. Nice meeting you too bro! Didn't know you are so chatty in real life lol. Thanks for the dinner by the way, will buy you a meal the next time

Thanks for the compliments guys. Yah comy, I was killing 2 birds with 1 stone, use the wavemaker to mix saltwater and use the magnet for the frag station haha. Cheap and good. Leslie, I bought the black clown from RB! LOL! I want a greater variety of fishes but with my limited tank size, I chose not to get 2 of the same fish, maybe I will pair it up with a common clown or one of those misbarred or naked ones.

If you are looking at power consumption, Aquabee trumps Eheim. Another strong, silent and low power consumption brand to consider is Rio.

Built this to function both as a frag station and to prevent fishes from jumping out of the back, one of the perils of owning an open top tank Made from black eggcrate from Jacky and magnet from a cheap Sunsun wavemaker bro Vtec sold me. The idea was that with everything in black you can't see it when stuck on the back of the tank. Only when you bend down to view pependicularly will you see the position of the frag station, when viewing slightly from the top (standing position), the object is obscured

Some updates to my tank, don't have the time to shoot all new additions as it was all taken in a rush this morning. Really cute and tiny tailspot blenny from ML: Captive bred baby black ocellaris in the betta box cos I'm waiting to get another baby ocellaris (naked clown or common clown) to pair with it before introducing them into the main tank. Rare green/black favia "on loan" from Lemon Marble fromia starfish:

Some wrasses will actually feed on them, small yellow wrasse and 6 line are the more hardworking ones. Yellow wrasse is usually preferred cos it is the less aggressive of the two. In the meantime, read up on pests to zoas, you will probably need to manually remove any eggs you see. If the infestation is serious, use Coral RX, Flatworm exit or Lugols with fresh water to dip them then let the wrasse do the rest.

Bro those are nudibranches, most probably zoa eating ones. Better to remove all of them. Have you noticed zoa polyps dying for no reason?

Great looking sump tank I'm sure this latest upgrade will be the kick in the butt that will get your motivation and morale back up.

It's really nice, if there are loose polyps please frag for me, I will give you something in return la of course Hey at least you don't have to look away quickly, girls are aware of the "quick look away of guilt" but will get totally confused by a look of disdain. In that confusion, take in the sight lol. I've said too much Today is considered one of the better days. 50% innocent talk about girls, 50% about reefing... You should have seen the days before AhSiang's suspension hahaha! Better not encourage him haha, he might take what I said as a challenge and post 100% nsfw content

You got the green monster on the day we went down together? Didn't see that, but good catch... Cheap and nice haha. The secret to looking at girls is to have a permanent and unfriendly scowl like me! Hahaha! If they catch you looking at them, you will not look like a pervert, instead you will pick at their insecurities and they will wonder what is wrong with their appearance lol. Shit... my secret weapon is out liao.

I've seen many variations of this design at freshwater LFSs, mostly Japanese brands, I believe Dymax also has a similar product. looks very good, especially useful for pico tanks.

Oops, paiseh, I thought you bought the whole set up from Qiang Good luck with the pump.

Check with Qiang if the skimmer is bought from RD and is still under warranty. I recall it being quite a recent purchase, hopefully he bought it first hand. If all else fails, call RD to check if the pump is in stock. (Also check your pump model number, there is an updated newer design which is different from the old one. The wrong pump might not fit.)

Actually you don't know something, every time Jacky changes water, he will tear down the rocks and put them back together. Like how you disassemble a rifle to clean. This is practical training to keep his title as the reefer with the most rescapes

Check with peacemaker if he is going ahead with his tank upgrade. He might be selling his current set up. Also 3 sided crystal glass and 1.5ft display area with 6 inch ios behind (1.5 x 1.5 x 2ft). He is also displaying it on his desk.

Hi here's my tank thread: My 1.5ft Cube Basically it is a braceless open top tank with cabinet and sump. Pretty much plug and play if you go with all the options like light, skimmer and pump from DE Lighting.

Hahaha I never say crap hor don't put words in my mouth. I meant to say for a rock the size of a small baby, and the price you paid, it is a damn good deal. Completely different context.

Welcome back, our fallen brethren. The eagle eye zoas is the best value purchase you've got so far. Anyway wat did you do to get the rbta to split? Threaten it with physical harm issit haha. I had it for 18 months and it never once split no matter how stressed, even when it was torn it just healed back.

Hi all looking to buy any Sun Sun wavamaker, doesn't matter what the flow rate is or what condition. As long as it works and comes with the magnet. Any other el cheapo wavemaker with magnet holder also will do, as long as it won't cost too much. Will consider Hydor K1 or nano if the price is good PM me if you have any of the above. Mucho gracias!

I think you mean this white patch? Could it be aiptasia (back view, and this is the base)? The pic is a bit blue, can't help much, sorry Circled white patch and resized, in case any eagle eyed reefer can ID it.

I wouldn't use my tank as a good example la. I still think my old tank, the 24G JBJ nanocube (about 90 litres) is still a comfortable size for beginners. It is not so small that you will get sick of it easily, and it is also not so big where you will feel damn sian just at the thought of changing water. Regarding acclimatising, do read up on it, it has cropped up a few times in the past month so I'm lazy to retype again. Bottom line is that your livestock will be more stable and stress free when you acclimatise them. The sudden change in water condition from dumping them into the tank is actually quite stressful for them.

Hahaha yah that's my "school bag"

Invertebrates require slow acclimatisation to the tank water before introduction to the tank. Most of the time, the reason for sudden death of shrimps is PH or temperature shock. 2nd most plausible reason is predators. Some wrasses and hawkfish among other carnivorous fishes do eat shrimps.

Wah like that also can connect to him lol. But seriously clam chowder, if you want I can help you drill your bottle cap on the spot. Not sure how many of you have seen my bag, but it is truely a doraemon bag. I've got a DSLR, lunch box, water bottle, notebook, tweezers, penknife and mini drill inside among other things haha.
