Yep..I've got 2 females to one male. You must see the size and the swimmerets. I know I've got 2 females as when I bought them both of them had eggs. If you have more than one male you will notice they will not stay near each other at all.

Just bought a salifert test kit to test my nitrates...Just as expected...I got a reading of about <50ppm of nitrates...oh well...not surprisingly since I feed alot. Did a massive 30% water change. Looks like I have to do 30% water changes twice a week to try to bring down my nitrate level..

Also finally took apart my skimmer to clean it...So much gunk at the bottom of the skimmer column... :blink: And had a very hard time scrubbing some of the coralline algae and the many glass sponges in my skimmer column...Maybe those interfered with the operation of my skimmer? Not sure...waiting to see if my skimmer will now skim out gunk like it did during the first 3 months of my tank.... :huh:

Neat? No lah...if you see all my wiring it is rather like star trek. Like the E-ballasts are resting on the back of my tank against the wall....so dangerous...

By the way...is the brown sps with green polyps montipora of some sort? Saw a similar looking one at PR and was told it is montipora. :angel:

hey Fuel...

ever thought of repositioning your Weipro? such a bulky thing blocking such a nice view. :P

When I get my sump. :evil: I have to use an additionnal reflector to shield my lights...my parents watching the tv next to it say the aquarium lights are too glaring for their eyes.. :lol:

I not using actinic or blue plus...maybe that why it appear glaring. :rolleyes:

I didn't say anything about the glare. :P but upon re-reading the thread I realised you said "don't ask me about the skimmer will be repositioning it" or something along those lines. oops! :P

nice tank, nonetheless. considering the fact that you supposedly did it on a budget. :P

I'm beginning to doubt the word budget nowadays. in this forum, even on a budget, it'll probably rank up to an astronimcal cost. *gulps* I wonder why I even got into this hobby in the first place.

hehz its like sinking in quicksand. except I don't mind drowning in it. ;)
