wilsontantw Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 It's good to have you back bro! Hope your kid recovers soon. Then can start rebuilding TOTM say again?? TOTM??? Hahaha. You mean disaster of the month? Hahaha. No lah, I dont think that's my ambition. I just enjoy the hobby. My satisfaction comes from seein the corals propogate and fish mate. So it's technically like you correctly put it, it's a slow rebuilding process, but not totm lah. Lol. Hey, saw ur new sump setup! Power! Must see it in person one day. I think recently you guys had some tank visit sessions huh. Why must I be away??? Next one I try to join u guys. Oh, my kid hasn't been in good health since turn of the year. I think I must have spent over $1.5k on doctor and medication since. Dunno if it's due to my marine hobby leh. Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute.

jackywongto Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hey Wilson, welcome back too! Glad you are picking up the challenge to rebuild your tank. Bring over your tools to my place one day maybe I can help with your zoas collection.

Bring over your tools to my place one day maybe I can help with your zoas collection. thanks Jacky! I'm happy to see my tank again. Am glad that it's not as bad as I feared. It's a pity we are at opposite ends of the island, else i'm sure we can meet often like Ray and eniram. Thanks for the offer, I still have some from reborn previously. Luckily those went into main tank and not tub man! But I heard u recently expanded zoas collection aggressively man! Haha. And Ray too. No probs. We can arrange that soon. I'll try to bring some of mine too. Plates u interested? Bright green tips with pink mouth? Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

cedricang Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Anyway, it's just one of those painful episode. April/May didn't weren't good for me in Marine sense. First was the rescape boo boo, then now the Murphy's visit. But in return, I had one of my best ever holidays. As I'm posting using iPhone at my in laws place, I can't post photos. Will share some photos later tonight. First priority is to let the tank mature again. All corals in main tank are looking good. Added a new bulb (Ikea) for algae scrubber. Reinstated the deltec skimmer. Used a new filter bag to trap dirt. Boy, it's cheap and good. Will share more later. Also did a round of water change abt 30litres. Oh yes, forgot to add, lost about 10rics and a self-propogating plate coral too. Cedric, thanks for the gift yeah! It does help to alleviate some pain. Super nice! Hopefully I can propogate them as fast as you! I'll frag some of my version and pass to you another day. Ray: hope you like the gift yah! Jacky: very glad to see you back! Hopefully can meet all you folks in some chiong shipment days soon! It's good to be back! Not at all Wilson, glad that the small gift added some joy to your reefing. Am sure in no time it will be propogating like wild fire Quote Treat others the way you wanna be treated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member shootsimon Posted May 23, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted May 23, 2010 So you are back. Understand how you feel bro, have gone through the same with my boy. Kids are very sensitive to the weather changes (my family doc says) these days. Building up his immune system is very important, can start giving him fish oil for a start. BTW me in Melbourne now, coming back on Tuesday. Let's catch up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilsontantw Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 today finally decided to take a FTS and RTS... as you can see, there's still 1 fish surviving... the super strong leopard wrasse! commando one... Front Tank Shot: 23 May 2010 The big bubble and rics managed to add some colours to the tank. Right Tank Shot: 23 May 2010 During the rescape last month, removed like a ton of Live Rocks! hehe. So the new scape has loads of swimming space. With the demise of some of the corals, guess their space need to be filled up. Any suggestions?
