my brother iantoh, i must state with frankness that I have lost touch with the marine world for years now. I have made up my mind to return to this hobby once i have moved to a new house of mine. i must be also mindful that space constraint will be an issue for my new place. so, i am thinking on how big should my tank be. as for the malaysian sps suppliers, i dont know where to get it. What i know at the moment is subang aquatics, 88 marine, aquatics international, natural plant and batu karang. for now, i hope that i can get some contacts from you. thanks for the info and cheers.

your set up is simple. i admire your tank and set up. kudos to you iantoh. kudos again. anyhow, i am from kuala lumpur and there is not much of selection when it comes to sps corals. if this is the case, i have got to make trips down to singapore to select nice varities of sps corals. cheers to you. keep up the good work.

how do you manage to keep a small sps tank of this nature? I failed to maintain an sps tank although years of patience. would you be able to share your specs with me? I am thinking of setting another sps tank again, but with 6 months cycle. cheers.

hi, where did you get your mh pendant lamp? it's very nice. i am from malaysia and i am interested in the pendant lamps. the pendant lamps sold here are made by dupla.

weejin, can you please show us the pictures of your sump? your brains are opening well. care to share?

hi, may i know what filtration system do you use? may we take a look at your sump? your corals looks very very very healthy . i am intending of starting one myself. can i purchase your copyright??? cheers mate

here's my email - res_integra@hotmail.com do keep in touch. going to catch up with some sleep btw, which part of sg are you living in? cheers

i am living in puchong. how about you? the names of those shops, where are they located?

good. well, must see you when i am down there in sg. where do you normally shop for your corals?

i just love your black surgeon. very nice looking fish. the unfortunate part is that i am not in singapore. i am in kl. cant do much to help you there

not quite sure about the pink rock. your mushies in your 2 footer tank looks stressed. whats the water quality in that tank?

i see bioballs in the 3 footer overflow compartment. dont you think it generates high nitrate content? i meant the bioballs acting as a nitrate factory??? why dont i suggest that you remove the bioballs and see the difference. are you using the old venturi or beckett skimmer to skim off your waste?

its a little overcrowded, dont you think? kindly furnish the specs of the 5 footer

very very nice set up. splendid

nice tank you have. whats your weekly husbandry like? care to share?

calvinci, which shop is that in penang? is it the one facing the bukit jambul complex? well, i have been there many times. the owner is danny. nice person. he brings in seachem. i dont know whether he still does. anyhow, is there anymore new lfs? i have not been back in town for quite a bit now. must go back and take a look. anyhow, nice meeting you. just pm me your contact. i keep sps too. hehe. small world. by any chance you meet freddie aeria, send my regards to him. he keeps a reef tank as well. good job bro. well, done. keep in touch.

how much will the price of deltec be in sg? well, in malaysia, the local lfs does not bring in deltec. it burns a hole in the pocket.

not really. you should try iwasaki 20K. it's white with a tinge of blue in the lighting colouration. to my opinion, so far, the blue ones come from BLV.

really? are you using any PS? your corals are blooming. chiller? any>

i dont see any overflow. you using eheim filter is it?
