Hi bro, thanks for the support. Will definitely keep everyone updated on this!

hi guys, decided to do a little update here. I have decided to do more replicates of the above experiment by planting more 'seeds' on my rocks and see how each grows. i will be documenting this on a weekly basis. At present, i have planted 3 new seeds on the rocks. 2 seeds on the same rock as the initial seed and 1 on a separate rock. I will be posting pictures on these. Do note, that the florescence observed from the recently obtained seeds are similar in colour to the one that is already germinating. Day 1 Seeds were obtained by sucking the tips of my euphyllia glabrescens and cutting the tip off with a pair of scissors. The seeds have been placed on the liverock surface and have wedged into a nice little crevice. Approximately 3 mintues after they were placed in the crevices, successful adhesion to the liverock has been observed.

white "eggs" on purple Tang

Hi guys, so i actually did a post on this on my tank thread but decided that people who are not necessarily interested in my tank may be interested in this so i copied the post here. Please do read and leave your comments hi guys, So, much of what im writing here is just my hypothesis. Once again, someone can help me confirm or correct my conception of this. Anyway, the crux of the matter to be discussed is actually the ways in which the torch coral spawns or rather reproduces. I have seen videos on the internet on how the torch coral spawns with little spores being released from the tips of the torch coral. However, i have observed something very different yet spectacular with my torch which is the asexual reproduction of torch corals. While i was shifting some corals in my friend's tank last year, i dropped one of his torches against the liverock. Later, i noticed that one of the tips had been torn of and was lodged nicely on the liverock. I decided not to remove it. I noticed in the following days that the florescent property of the tip had not left as i had expected. I had expected the tip to just dissolve away without a body. And what happened in the following months left me gaping in shock. That little tip grew grew onto the rock and slowly, a whole new torch emerged from that 1 tip! I didnt believe that this really happened. Fastforward to 2015 and to my tank, i have found myself repeating this 'experiment' in my own tank. AND TO MY SURPRISE!!!! i am noticing history repeating itself. As i was setting up my new tank earlier, i once again managed to get a tip lodged on a rock. I left it there and BAM! it began to germinate. The green dot that you see on the second picture grew a white centre around the green dot. And a new tip that dropped on a rock today. The third pic is the new tip.I also am going to show u guys the mother colony. This will be interesting to track as well so im gonna keep you guys updated!

hi guys, on a side note, i wish to share something that i have observed but cannot confirm as a fact. So, much of what im writing here is just my hypothesis.

Hi guys, so i decided to do a small update, nothing major. Just updating to track the progress of my tank. Anyway, i haven't really added anything since a few weeks ago. And i'm just watching everything grow slowly and spread slowly. Anyway, i wanted to show you guys this little piece of purple sponge that came with my liverock. Didn't grow much though. On another note, i am pretty curious about this little thing i found in my tank. I really need an ID on this so if you have any idea please let me know Here are some of the pictures of my sponge and the mystery thingy.

Read above post

From what i read, this seems to be a bacterial infection. Quickly send the seahorse to a quarantine tank and treat with broad-spectrum antibiotics. You can find this at C328. Then, try to reduce the tank temp in quarantine to around 22-23 degrees. This will slow down the bacteria from growing and spreading. Follow the dosage on the antibiotics extremely closely for effective treatment. From the looks of it, you seahorse doesnt have any time to wait

Thanks for the warm welcome Bunster!

Hi!!! Thank you for the compliments. Im in the midst of collecting nice frags for this tank. Slowly slowly hhahahaha

and this is a full tank shot of my micro reef! as you can see there is nothing amazing inside. However, it s the lttle things inside that really intrigue me.

okay, so my first proper post. Like i said,i discover many new things in my reef everyday. And i wish to share these things here. \ The first thing i wish to share is the Basket Seastar that i discovered in my liverock. Do note that i did not cure my liverock prior to the addition. I discovered many valuable life in these rocks and i decided it worth the risks. I also think that the sustainability of such life in my tank is evidence of my good decision to do away with a skimmer that would otherwise strip my system of food for these creatures. Anyway, i will post a video of this seastar below. although the entire body of the seastar is not visible, you can see its feeding are grabbing particles which it then folds and directs to its mouth. Obviously, my seastar is very much smaller than the usually giant basket stars. I have posted a comparison video of a much bigger star from the internet. They exhibit similar arm movements. So, this is the bigger one, And this is mine, the unfurling arm that extends towards the end has just delivered food to its mouth.

Hi guys, So i decided to start this thread to share a bad news as well as some good news. So first, the bad news. As some of you may know, i was keeping seahorses but the challenge was too great for me and my little ponies soon succumbed to a bacterial infection and withered away. How devastating. I am still pretty sad but i knowni did everything i could to keep them happy and healthy. And it wasn't. Anyway, long story short, they died and i decided to quit. But my friends encouraged me to start over to i decided to convert my tank into a reef tank. So, this thread will now document thr progress of my little micro-reef and i have many interesting and unique things to share. I have already found many unique attributes about my reef. My approach- i am trying to go with the natural approach here. No skimmer, no fancy equipment, just frequent water changes. I dont dose anything but may do so in the future. Equipment- 1. Ios 1.5 feet cube 2.overhead filter 3. An old maxspect g2 that is half spoilt. I cant adjust anything. Just on, off. Ahahahah. 4....nothing. thats it!. I will be posting many many pictures because im obsessed. So pls stay tuned. Lastly, i do welcome all constructive criticism and comments and of course, compliments so please feel free to add as you wish. Cheers folks!

hi looking for pulsing xenia frag. Preferrably near bukit panjang. Thanks!
-
Collected. Thanks!

Here bro, this pic will grant u some solace.

Hi fishcake, I think its normal if your seahorse doesnt cling onto anything. My seahorse changes the way he sleeps from day to day, clinging, free with his tail straight, on the rock... yeah. But he is wide awake when i on the lights and starts swimming around like normal. SO dont worry, its fine!

Wow nice bro. hmmm do you think us using a deeper container would help solve this issue?
-
HI everyone, giving away this seahorse feeder cup that i made. I made a spare one so i decided to give it away. PM me if you want it. Collection : Bukit Panjang

hi bro still available?

Hi everyone, i had some free time on my hands away from uni so i decided to do a seahorse feeder cup that we can stick to the wall of our aquarium. I saw a gal on Youtube do it and thought it was very useful. So i made my own. The things you will need. are shown in the picture attached. I got the small containers for $1.05 from the Valudollar shop near my place and the suction cups are $1.20. That's all you need! Then, i simply heated up an edge of a scissors and bore a hole small enough to fit the suction cup in.Then, i used the hook from the suction cup to secure the suction cup and also act as a perch for the seahorses when they feed from the cup. And there you have it, your very own seahorse feeder. This helps in keeping the tank very clean and the seahorses learn quickly to eat from it. I will be posting a picture of this feeder in my tank as well as a video of the seahorses feeding from it soon!

hi bro. No problem! Its my pleasure to spread the love for these wonderful and amazing animals. Anyway, i thought i would say good night by posting one picture of my seahorse that i took with my dslr today. Good night.

Wooohooo!! Alright guys so if you dont want your horses to be dark knights you know what to do now. Just put something bright yellow inside and they will become fire horses!
