Emmanuel's Saltwater Tank

[wilsontantw]

Vert nice Midas! Mind pm me where u got it and how much??

[Underwater]

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.

Sun corals (donated by my friend)

Cleaner Skunk Shrimp

Gonio is not the natural host for clownfish. Do monitor as the gonio may not like the clown disturbing it constantly.

Ya .. I know it is not very healthy for the coral .. Is there any other nice corals to let my clown rest his fins at night ?

Really had the urge to try anemone. But still too inexperienee for it.

[Milch_Tan]

hey em! your blue tang looks cute! haha,oh n thanks for helping me house some my of stuff in your tank, haven't tank u in person yet.

hmm anemone looks nice.. but can cause a havoc if they up the lorry bro,

It came with the rocks which i got from a fellow reefer.

[Emmanuel]

No worries la Milch .. Ur shrimp and corals are all doing well so far.. Faster get ur tank ready !!!

Eh .. It really is the thing shown in the link .. What's that man

[Emmanuel]

Oh no.. The URL of the link says majano ? But it looks good .. I will not consider it a pest If it really is majano anemone.. No wonder it is enjoying the high flow and lightings

[Milch_Tan]

haha yeap, the compressor will be installed next week hmm majano spreads quite fast le, and can be harder to kill than aiptasi but hmm think saw 1 LFS sellng them b4, looks really nice though,

Your overflow piping looks interesting bro. It looks like having 2 outlets. Can share a little on:

(1) Where do they lead to?

(2) Any noise problem?

[desideria]

emmanuel!! you have a PBT!!! Beautiful!! ))) Did I meet you @ Thairun's place the other day or am I mistaken? what a lovely little tank.. and I agree with you.. midas blennies love to belly dance!

[ambystoma82]

it is a small box with 2 holes drilled and leads to the sump. noise is unbearable. lol. i will not do this in future !!

Yeah. I'm the one at thairun's place. The day after i got the zoas from thairun, i went down to CF and got this PBT.Am really happy with this healthy fish and indeed i love this PBT(very handsome). wish it will stay small forever =)

wasn't feeding for the first 3 days and thankfully, it is feeding happily now =)

Bro, the RBTA decided to move !! gosh.. move to a spot where i can't really see it. I thought it was missing this morning. But luckily it resurfaced just now when i came back home. i was really worried where it was when i was at work during the day . heng ah, everything is ok . just that i don't like the position the RBTA is at now.

I will post a pics of the RBTA later on.

[Emmanuel]

Pics was taken before it decides to move. i don't think i can photograph it anymore. =(

[kueytoc]

Nice POCCI frag dude.

[ambystoma82]

u mention the noisy overflow box i am sure can solve this prob..

maybe u can take a pic of it..

is a some prob tht can be solve with durso pipes?

[peacemaker]

That's a nice rock you have. You need some sand bed cleaning crew though...

[Emmanuel]

Nice POCCI frag dude.

Frag was gotten from 2 of my friends from the latest GO shipment. Frag dropped onto the sand bed few days ago and wasn't looking good. hopefully it can survive. =)

This is how my overflow looks like.

Washing machine pipe was used to channel the water to sump. outflow diameter is i think 1" each. x 2 .

I don't think i've enough space for a durso pipe bro. Probably one outflow would suffice but i was kiasu when i was making this tank. Opted for 2 outflows and now the noise is x 2 . lol. any idea on how to improve on it ?

[Emmanuel]

Current cleaning crew:

4 x turban snail

2 x nassarius snail

1 x serpent starfish ( not sure it is a cleaning crew or not)

1 x tuxedo urchin

Any good CUC to recommend for cleaning of sandbed ?

u ever try rolled a plastic netting in to a cylindrical shape n cupped it on it?

[Emmanuel]

have not... never seen or heard before.

maybe i shall try it but what kind of netting are u referring to ?

if i can get a netting. roll it up into a cone shape and attach it to the outflow pipe using cable tie . it might helps ?

[tunicate]

May have sufficient space for a durso if you seal one of the overflow. Just make sure the downward facing durso opening is lower than existing drilled hole to your overflow box.

Worth a try if the noise continues to irritate you.

[ambystoma82]

on 2nd thought i not sure the dorso will be able to handle your overflow rate, it may flood the overflow box if not outflow fast enuff..there is also a height requirement for dorso,if u cut wrongly it would be flooding...

plastic netting in pic available at hardware store, daiso may sell also..(settle for less than $6-$8 with the cable tie)

if you dun like the idea in the pic, prob u can buy a 90deg elbow,buy one tht fits into the inner diameter of your pipe..

(this prob cost less than $2) i buy 13mm t-joint at 40cent...

Cheers...
