Hi Chris,
Yes... and TQ for your PM too.
Really appreciate. Hope this 100 post can let me post a topic in the classified section....hahahhaha
Maybe you should try posting it in your thread here first.

Some personal Q & A
1. How long have you been reefing?
Ans: About half a year.
2. How did you get into this hobby?
Ans: I started with fresh water aquascaping and shrimp, and decided to challenge myself with a marine setup. A large part of my courage to transition to marine was from a friend of mine who helped me throughout, both for my fresh water and currently this tank. Without the support and company, I do not think I would have been able to endeavor as long.
3. Are you a fish or coral guy?
Ans: Both. I believe that it is the diversity in a reef tank that brings you one step closer to the ocean. Although it does make it that little bit more challenging, as the individual requirements of different organisms vary so much, and would also mean I am limited in what SPS I would be able to keep.
4. Any dream fish or coral you wish to own one day?
Ans: Liopropoma carmabi (a.k.a. Candy cane basslet). I love its unique coloration and shy, almost coy disposition. I previously obtained a Liopropoma swalesi, which is the cheaper cousin of the carmabi, but it was, unfortunately, devoured by my sun coral. Actually, I plan to acquire an Achilles tang next. I have a soft spot for tangs in general because my first fish was a Yellow tang, and subsequently a Sailfin tang. Both initially suffered from ich and it was really quite challenging to nurse them back to health. I currently have quite a number of tangs and they are all doing great; each seemingly has its own personality and it is a joy to watch them.
5. What is your main concern when looking around for reefing equipment?
Ans: Good quality and value for money.
6. What is your favorite past time?
Ans: Photography and diving. Thus, it is not a surprise I have a marine tank and love to take photos of it. It kind of allows me to feel I am still out in the middle of the ocean after a busy day at work.
7. What is the satisfaction you get from this hobby?
Ans: I feel a sense of achievement when things go well, and even when they don’t, it will always turn out to be a valuable learning experience. When I initially started, I had so much problems with my fish; constantly plagued by Ich and the subsequent demise of many of my fish. I, however, endeavored and realized that once my tank stabilized, all these problems subsequently resolved.
8. Any advice you have for a newbie in this hobby?
Ans: I would consider myself rather new, as I have only been in this hobby for less than a year. I must say that I am very thankful for all the help the fellow senior reefers have offered. My advice to anyone starting out, like myself, is to not be afraid to reach out to the reefing community, and keep an open mind, as there is a lot to learn from everyone out there.
9. What did you gain from this hobby?
Ans: Patience. I am generally quite “Type A”, and after reading all the hundreds of threads and articles out there on reefing, you will be told countless times how everything must be taken slow and steady. Don’t give up and you will be rewarded at the end of the day with a piece of the ocean in your own home.
Final Acknowledgement and thank you note (If any).
First and foremost I would like to thank my friends V and X for always accompanying me coral/fish shopping and lending me a listening ear. My whole family for being so supportive and understand of my tank – especially my mother who always helps me with the manual labour. Lastly, all the kind souls out there I have met in all the various places (SRC seniors, fish shop uncles, all the bros around) for all the advise and help they have rendered to me.
Enjoy the Video ;

Hi All,
Started a 4 feet tank on May and due to work commitment, have not been taking care of the tank....my bad. The tank was real bad as high nitrate, lots of green algae on the rock and brown algae on the tank. Decided to do something on it after looking at this forums on others reefer beautiful tank.... Great inspiration
On April, I purchase this 2nd hand tank from a reefer with built in refigum on the back portion. Initial start up is fun but finding very hard to maintain the correct parameter and nitrate is always on the high side. The back portion is also too small to place a decent skimmer. Therefore decide to "restart" everything.
Recently, download a technical drawing(blueprint) from this forums and decided to DIY a overflow pipe. Then I add a sump tank and a H&S skimmer from a nice reefer, clean and brush the green algae and re-scape the rock too.
Below is some photo(display tank) i took today
Hope it look okie. Please kindly give some comment. Thanks.Side View

QUOTE (comycus @ Dec 16 2009, 05:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Nice looking tank! I love the bubble! Hope when you mean 'restart' it just meant cleaning the tank, rescaping and putting effort back into the hobby. Otherwise if it's a real restart and you skipped cycling, might have problems again.
On a side note, you will probably lose the cauliflower and queen anthias. They are considered hard to keep. Do some research now tt you're back in business and try to avoid keeping these hard fishes/corals until you gain the confidence and experience to.
thanks bro. The bubble is amazing when I saw it. Never dare to try till "restart".
Hmmm. I clean the tank, rescape and change the water by Iwarna. Others just remain.
I didn't know cauliflower is hard to keep. I thought jewel is tougher? Will cross my finger and read more on how to care for this beauty.
Any idea why the queen is not eating. Is been almost 2 weeks in the tank. I feed them with pellats and frozen brine shrimps. Read from the net they prefer mysis. Where can I get this food for her or any recommendation?
Cheers
Hope this work

Sorry to highjack your thread.
hi bro, still available? May I where to collect if there is.
-
same same, but different
Interesting article but very long
-
different pple have different way of solving their problem ma..lol...let's say u are sitting down to makan and yr chair is too far away from the table, for most pple, u will shift yr chair forward, for him he shift the table closer to him ma...doesn't matter if there are other pple affected.
hahhaha.. well say..
is like since i want to shift the table long time ago, i take this opportunity to shift it when i decide to dine on this CHAIR...hahhahahaha -
So funny, I thought you would shift the xenia to another spot but you shifted the wavemaker instead
Won't tt affect overall flow and other corals too?
errrrrr.... i shift the wavemaker down because i notice there are some dead spot on the bottom. Thought of getting another wavemaker but since you mention the flow rate is too high on the xenia... so i shift down... one stone kill two birds..hahahha
the others coral start from the center portion to the left side and the one closer to it will be Jewel, after shift down, the Jewel open huge today... must be happy.
-
Did you keep them refrigerated? No matter, I would feel uncomfortable feeding my reef with food that has been sitting in my fridge longer than 6 months.
From my research, very few successful stories on keeping it, you need to feed it at least 3 times daily, and have to maintain water quality with such frequent feedings.
hmmmmm.... It was place in the cabinet. Since is powder type, so i never really notice it....
Dun know whether still can use?
3 times..... will it cause high nitrate? Trying very hard to maintain the water quality so worry those uneaten plankton will cause the nitrate to shot up??
-
your xenia too high flow
Okie, have move the wavemaker downward..
-
Cauliflower soft corals do not have symbiotic algae zooxanthellae, relying only on micro plankton and other filter feeding foods. Therefore they have to be fed v. regularly, almost constantly to survive.
I have a bottle of Zooplankton and Baby plankton which was given by the reefer when i purchase the tank on April 2009.
Just wondering is there any expire date as it was not indicated in the bottle.
So, can i feed them with either this 2?
-
nice,good start.
the purple queen like most anthias are better in big groups.
anyway they are known to do badly in aquariums.
Thanks for the encouraging,
I saw this beauty and buy it then realize is hard to keep.
I will try to make it survive and will intro maybe another 2 mores once is stable or just remain as one.
Once she started to eat, will update you on this
Cheers
