Pic too size...re-size for you

[absolut_vodka]

thank you!! I was wondering how to do that!

[bwilly]

wah pian.. the whole post almost bearly readable..

haha.. too damn huge..

[CalciumReef]

Think its better to increase amt of live rock.Some rocks used are not the porus type.Are you using ohf?

[absolut_vodka]

what is ohf ah??

[Dong gu]

overhead filter.

[absolut_vodka]

yup, using overhead filter

[terryansimon]

hmm OHF. salt spray imminent! but can be done one lah. (=

nice tank anyways. very spaced out. very neat. very nice (=

[hamannbmw]

I saw a clown in the bag......... , is it a maroon ???

[Daniel-K]

Nice Tank, how much u spend for the tank with the cabinet ? the DSB maybe not deep enough

[absolut_vodka]

My tank and cabinet costed me $710 (custom made). bottom shelves is my shoe storage while top storage for all the accessories.

Yup, I think its a maroon clownfish... we've released it already. The photo enclosed.

So how thick should the DSB be ah?

[absolut_vodka]

this is after we released 'NEMO'.

see if you can spot the starfish and seahorse?

[CalciumReef]

A deep sand bed should be 4 to 6 inches...But your tank only 1.6ft high so there might not be much space left and it will look ugly

[Golden Tooth]

'NEMO'?

[FuEl]

poor seahorse.......

[absolut_vodka]

what's wrong with my seahorse?? Why poor seahorse?

The sand bed now is about 2 inches. And 4 inches will look quite horrible I think. But how can I add in more sand without disturbing the fishes?

[terryansimon]

I doubt you can do that. adding sand into water = creating mini sand storm.

[Anemone]

i dun think it matters whether the fishes r disturbed. just dump the sand in. =)

just take care not to bury them alive =)

u may wanna turn off the filter or any powerheads when u do so.

less messy.

4 inch of sand will be more efficent DSB than your current 2 inches.

u may wanna change the non-LR in your tank for LR tho.

jon.

[Anemone]

well.. fuel may mean that your seahorse wont be able to compete for food with the clown n the damsel. they're very "yao gui" so your seahorse may not get much.

perhaps a trade with someone for a fish instead?

[absolut_vodka]

Yeah, I kinda realised that seahorse don't really get to eat when I throw in the brine shrimp.

Is there any way of feeding it?

You can buy a big PVC pipe, then pour into the pipe slowly. Minimum disturb will be created. Turn off all filter and powerheads, when pouring.

I managed to get the seahorse to eat today! Bought some frozen mysis shrimp for him and he ate! And I was overjoyed!

[FuEl]

Ok..you will probably have to make sure he gets his share everyday. Feel happy for you.

Maybe 10++ mysis shrimp a day would be a safe number.

[absolut_vodka]

My seahorse is now feeding on live brine shrimp babies (hatched from eggs). Seems like he prefers to be a hunter (so doesn't quite take frozen food now).

The rest of the fishes are also doing well... except for one clown fish with white spots.

Here's the latest photo of the tank.
