Emmanuel Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 It all started with a really pico tank 40 x 20 x 20 cm (16litres) at the bottom tier of my fresh water set up. I couldn't get a much bigger tank as i have other equipments sharing the lower tier. A pics of my freshwater planted tank. Upper Tier I've got all the equipment from my fresh water set up, and hence starting cost was only one packet of salt water and 2 KG of liverocks. No wavemaker was used as the powerhead for overhead filter serves as a wavemaker as well. Everything else was reused and the cycling of saltwater tank begins. Lower Tier Equipment List: 40 x 20 x 20 cm Tank Overhead Filter 13W PL Light DC Fan Tank was taken down and upgraded in about 1 and a half months time.

Emmanuel Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Tank was upgraded to 1ft cube , shifted everything from the 16Litres tank to this cube tank. Tank size was still too small for me to try out corals and other fishes as well. And eventually couldn't resist the temptation and after much hesitation, I decommed my fresh water tank and give away my tank and equipment and got myself a 2ft cube tank.

Emmanuel Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 I've gotten a small blue tang for about a week or so. It is almost impossible to make it feed . Not interested on pellet, seaweed on clip nor brine shrimp. However, he only took notice of those greenies on my turbo snails. Anyone got any idea to make it feed ? Looks like he has got some skin problem as well. Tank from another perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmanuel Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Livestocks Updates This is the only fish that I manage to keep it alive since the start of my pico tank since January. And he has been through lots of bad times. Bangaii Cardinal And he is shouting at me saying he is one tough guy !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmanuel Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 This specimen is to be housed temporary in my tank as my friend is in the process of cycling a new tank. But I doubt I will be able to net him out and return it back to him. So I guess considered mine already. :yahoo: Real photogenic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmanuel Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 True percula and a goniopora may be a good match. But never keep sun corals with shrimps. They will keep nibbling on the sun corals when u are trying to target feed them.

Emmanuel Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Here comes the hungry fellow. Blue Tang Eating non-stop. This is what they do when you do no drop any food into the tank. Pecking on the snails. And this is when he is feeding on seaweed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmanuel Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Chiong ah !!! Midas Blenny chionging for a bite of seaweed. Yummy !! This is 1 lovely fish.
