  1. The most recent photo by newly bought DSLR cam. Purple tang was bought from fellow reefer Vtec and is 3 months in my tank liao... My prata from iwarna
  2. Heng ah the leakage drip back to sump, but cos my inner cabinet to splash with water. End up I using masking tape to stick plastic bag around and wait a few days...
  3. Make sure your return pipe will not leak.. Mine leaked a few days then he free then came to fix.
  4. Yah I like the programming feature that can simulate day to moonlight...
  5. Finally saved enough to get a new Hailea hs-66a chiller and more corals added and also all my invertebrates 2 x cleaner shrimps, 2 x fire shrimps n 1 x strawberry crab all well n surviving to date. Both cleaner shrimps keep spawning free meal for my fishes... But still need to upgrade lighting, so this aquazonic 4 x t5 3 feet is now sleeping in my storeroom. Manage to upgrade to maxspect razor 160w and super like it....
  6. i bought at 2 gold at ah beng but maybe the size is small...
  7. Find my tank empty and ugly during the first 2 weeks, decided to add a piece of Zoas from CF at $6, then 3 days later my invertebrates cleaner shrimp and strawberry crab perished.... One week after Zoas introduced, they fall off from the LR and melted. I started to regret taking up this hobby as these sea creatures just died because of I do not understand well enough and never read enough. I never visit SRC at all when taking this hobby. Soul searching time... Read up about invertebrates cannot tolerate copper and I don't think that is the problem cos every week change 20% water and I never fix LFS water in my tank when putting fishes as I always introduce fishes in QT or sump first. The problem should be the water temperature as is always 31-33 deg. Sian need to wait for pay day to buy chiller as I decided to redo scaping and keep some beginner corals...
  8. My PBT was with me for 3 months n one fine day Kanna ich n died that day. So currently 4 tangs plus one blue throat trigger. Right manz my no3 is always 50 ppm. Running chaeto n algone reduce it to 20 ppm n gonna try FR. That is y I will not have SPS...
  9. Actually for carpentry works I ever think of getting back my renovation ID as their worksmanship is better than my tank maker but 3 months after renov completed dunno they entertain ala carte work and also if engage tank maker make tank but not cabinet a bit awkward...
  10. Be surprised by their pricing quotation...every time I ask I feel like walking a step back n out of the shop.
  11. Still well and kicking like a goldfish eat and eat... So add more live rocks n a powder blue tang and a sun sun wavemaker Adding a brown tang n strawberry crab Adding cleaner shrimp n a 'one hand' strawberry crab n soon tragedy will happen...
  12. Great tank!!! Hope I can still add 3 more prata...
  13. Due to budget constraints, start off as FOWLR, no chiller, no wave maker, 1 return pump Ehiem 1269, Skimz Monzter SM161 skimmer and 3 feet aquazonic 4 x t5. Simple livestock 3 x live rocks 2 x damsel 2 x black ocellaris 1 x blue tang 1 x yellow tang Lonely blue tang... First few days return pipe leak, lucky Vincent return and fixed otherwise I will write a bad review about him...
  14. My 2 current prata From AM $40 From Iwarna $55 Was so tempted to buy a red prata from AM just now but $120 no $ this week cos spent too much on platinum clownfishes
  15. My initial plan was a FOWLR as is my 1st proper marine tank and the best thing is these 4 fishes are still well and surviving while some others come and go....My yellow and blue tangs are from CF which i think fishes from them are good quality but need to pay more and also GST. My black ocellaris are from Iwarna. Well initially I want little LR and no sand so that I can see more fishes swimming around.
  16. Jan 21st 2013 finally tank delivered with cabinet and sump tank... After cycling with Iwarna sea water for 5 days, very impatient and add a yellow tang, blue tang and a pair of black ocellaris...
  17. Well said.... My pain starts that both nemo died after a month with me every do WC to every 3 days do WC. No skimmer and also temperature for pico is also problem every 3 days WC also headache. So I saved enough in jan to engage Vincent to build a 3 feet, recommendation from a fellow reefer who is also my ex colleague with 5-6 years marine experience. So my pico tank becomes my office planted tank.
  18. Always wanted to have a marine aquarium since young, but staying with parents is always difficult as they will complain waste $ of electric bills, troublesome to get saltwater and no permission to any how place a fish tank in living room. Finally got my new flat and my OC blessing to start a marine aquarium and move in late 2012, but.... no budget because all spent on renovation liao. Some pictures of new home.... No $, so I started aqua plant tank at my kitchen....
  19. Super nice... Sharing my pair of platinum clown and pair of Picasso
  20. Length view of my tank ... My Black Ocellaris My Picasso Clownfishes in sump
  21. Anyone wants a packet size (kopitiam packet) of chaeto can PM me. Preferred around 6-8pm punggol or ubi.
