wilsontantw Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 The "GROUP DIGI" shot... Digitatas are indeed one of the easier SPS to try... however, they do have their temperaments... Core parameters (e.g. Ca/Kh/Mg/Salinity/po4) should be in check before embarking on them. JAN 2012 MAR 2012 Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute.

wilsontantw Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Last "before/after" shot... Note: colouration has some difference due to taken under different lighting condition. Before: 4xT5, After 250W MH @ 20kk bulb and 4xT5) Trying hard to keep this monti growing, wishing it will be my centerpiece soon.

SRC Member pokmingsheng Posted March 25, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted March 25, 2012 beautiful SPS you got there! my only successful SPS in my tank are my Montis and the radioactive birdnest.. cant keep my tank parameters stable enough to take on more... great idea to take "before" and "after" shots, must be very satisfying to see growth over the months...

wilsontantw Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hey Ig, thanks for dropping by... Indeed monti and RA BN are great appetizers for sps keeping. Sps, though tougher to keep as compared to lps and softies... are most rewarding as they grow well when the conditions are right. You can actually see the growth, e.g. within 2 months, u can see some sps changing them shape. Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

wilsontantw Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Again, another month has passed... took some quick pictures... this time with mobile phone camera. Been busy with work, so less time to do WC and parameter testing... apparently KH and CA dosing solutions were empty during my short trip to Europe.. fortunately, no major losses.

marshalll Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 i read from somewhere that it is not recommended to QT this fish, and it should be release into the main tank immediately where there is plenty of live rock to graze upon . Ya I agree with bro harlequin in this. I got mine few months back and at first I put it in a betta box. But it looks stressed. So I've decided to let it out in the main tank. And you can see it grazing on the rocks from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilsontantw Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Hi all... It's been quite a long while since I update this thread. There is a reason for this. Although it is not a good one. Some time late last year my chiller thermostat broke down and coupled with an erroneous clearing of beneficial bacteria-laden ceramic rings.. my tank suffered a "crash". With that, years of effort of sps care just gone down the drain. Thereafter, I took a break from sps and kinda just slowly concentrated more on fishes. And after about 6 months of slow collection... the tank is now fowlr. With remnants of the former sps outlines. Fish list Tangs: Yellow Hybrid Powderblue Sohal Achilles Angels (L): Queen Emperor Juv (without tail) Pygmy Angels: Paired Flame Coral beauty (full orange body) Coral beauty (full blue body) Sherpadi Venustus Others: Paired flamehawk Paired bartlett anthias Paired true perculas 3x springeri damsels Hopefully can get a chance to own a scribbled angel if it is still available by tmrw. Till next time... Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
