SRC Member dominik Posted October 21, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi, been away from this site for almost 2 years plus. Seems like there are less reefers nowadays.

SRC Member BarraCudaTM Posted January 2, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hi bro , no more marine tank? No more already. More than 8 years of marine, sort of losing the fire already. Freshwater is much easier to maintain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenkoh08 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Don't be dis-hearten everyone knows it not easy to maintain a marine tank initially..... but after mnths of stability it more or less like maintainace free.... somehow or rather depend on what u going to achieve and want A lot of us who reef more than 1yr knows this well.......

bkburger Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Keeping fish is just a hobby, do it simple, dont stress yourself out if not no point continue. My 4ft FOWLR is 1 years old, i didnt change water for 8 month liao only top up tap water, didnt test my water since after cycling my water, no skimmer too. Use only PL light and a China made Atman AT-107 return pump and 1 Sun Sun wavemaker. Below is my Fish list. 2 Blue Tang 1 Purple tang 1 Sailfin Tang 1 Yellow Tang i Bristletooth Tang 2 Picasso Trigger 3 Different type of clown fish 1 Dottyback 1 Red Coris Warasse 1 Six Line Warasse 1 Snownflake EEl Spend more time on enjoying your tank rather than keep chasing after equipment. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member peacemaker Posted June 26, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted June 26, 2011 Why don't you come back to the reefing scene to spruce things up? Start a tank thread, update regularly, get involved with other reefers' setup... should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member peacemaker Posted June 26, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted June 26, 2011 talking about tank... hows yours now Peace? saw you sold your 2 footer? Yo... that was the office tank. I still have mine back at home. Not exactly a reef tank, more like a glass box keeping frags, so no updates. I have some plans in the works, so will update once they become concrete.

Yea, I know... sometimes the hectic lifestyle can get to us. However, I believe that a little contribution now and then is more beneficial to the forum than simply saying it is quiet, or not as buzzing with activity as before, etc. If everyone chime in once in awhile, it'll make the forum a better place. No offense intended, hope none is taken. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doubt marine aquarium is not a easily hobby to maintain by simply adding fish with water, and the industry is not doing that well as compare to the previous "Nemo Crazy" , but the reward of owning a Ocean in your home is priceless and i am glad to see more "Hidden dragon" with impressive setup with photo not posted here .

honkit Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I reckon the "golden age" of reefing in Singapore (i.e. most number of reefers and height of interest) was in the 2003-2007 period which started shortly after the Finding Nemo movie which sparked the craze. I distinctly remembered the early morning crowd outside of Paradiz Reef at Balastier Road (now closed) waiting for the doors to open and cheong Fiji SPS corals - note: Paradiz Reef was the only source of Fiji SPS corals at that time. Not to mention the sifus like Scarab, Reefplayer, Linkinpark, Achilles Tang (Conrad the former owner of sgreefclub), Danano, Vanquish (RAV-65), etc who were the SPS kings of that period. Like all hobbies, there will always be an initial fad period and eventually only the truly interested and dedicated ones will hang on. In my case, I gave up the hobby years ago and very recently am back into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
