Hi jervis,

i have a problem that i thought perhaps you have a solution for!

my male black cap (i hvae a pair) has acquired quite an appetite for any shrimp that can fit into its mouth. and i've since lost 8 ###### shrimp (all of which were in my care for more than a year at that point) plus two urocaridella sp yellow arrow shrimps. how ah?

cheers,

ian

Bro Iantoh... that's a tricky situation... I'll suggest you avoid all the tantalizing shrimps for the time being :) I heard you bought a very nice piece of Birdsnest the other day :lol:

wahahaahah.. how come this kind of news travels so fast ah? :D

actually, now that its sitting in my tank, i'm not so excited already. i thought it had the potential to be a ponape varient, but though the polyp extension is fantastic, i havent seen much of a change in colour to warrant my initial bet la. all the same, you win some lose some!

are you gonna be at the shipment tomm? im not sure ill recognise you if i see you, but do say hi if you somehow spot me ya.

woohoo to the walt smith shipment.

I got 2 small pieces... according to:

http://www.reeffarmers.com/limitedponapeseriatopora.htm

Ponape Seriatopora (Pink and Green) thrives under moderate light and moderate flow... since I have 2 pieces... I will move 1 piece lower with lesser flow... will update you :)

And yes... see ya tomorrow :lol:

bro. your macro can zoom in further?

i've seen in photography forum.

they use macro to take the insect.

every single detail of the insect's hair can be seen clearly.

Another shot of my ###### Shrimp... bro that's the closest I can get with this Macro Lens ;)

Moved a browned-out SPS (due to crisis) over to this tank... 2 ###### Shrimps immediately hosted it... seems like a mating pair to me... they even share food :shock::shock::shock:

Time to change the T5 tubes... it's around 1 years 2 months old :)

The correct way of changing T5 tubes... I changed 1 x Aquablue Spezial and 1 x Blue Plus... the remaining 2 x Aquablue Spezial will be changed next week :) This will ensure a smoother transition to minimize the impact to the corals :)

I made the tubes facing opposite directions for easy identification next week :P

Oh... 1 year then change one ah?

I change after 6 months. Or should I wait longer?

I think it really depends on your fixture and the brand of the tubes... the ballast used and ventilation also play a part... since I am not keeping SPS in my 2ft (yet)... I guess 1 year is quite realistic :)
