Ng Sze Kiat Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hi guys and girls, this is my first post. I come from a freshwater background and have ten freshwater biotope setups. I have been interested in reef tanks but never really dared to take the plunge into the ocean until about 3-4 months ago. I made use of what i had, which was a 13litre tank in my bedroom lol. original set-up was mainly for for sexy shrimps, but they have since been banished to the refugium cos i saw them eating some sps. yes, they aren't exactly reef safe! this is the fts: and i attribute the relative success of this tiny tank to weekly 30% wc, as well as my hang-on refugium as you can see here: got a lovely purple yuma to go with the hot pink yuma (which i can't quite capture on the iPhone): and this cute Eviota pellucida: most recent crustaceans are these amazing crinoid squat lobsters which are never seen even in this tiny tank: using a fan which cools tank down to 26 celcius, and par38 light. tank has built in iOS, and i run a simple hang-on filter for more volume as well as circulation. i don't usually post pics of my tanks in forums, even my freshwater ones, but i figured i should post this time before i upgrade, which will be soon i think. and to all the wonderful people i met, thanks for sharing info!
