The sexy is too cool! But you might look into getting more than one because I've heard they do best in groups 3+. Just a thought...

Everything still looks amazing!

NOR

Thanks noobofreefs. Yes, I am tempted to get afew more, but at the same time was afriad that they might not behave themselves just like what Duncan had warn me

The anthias look's like a threadfin(nemanthias carberryi)or a bartlett's(pseudanthias bartlettorum).

Thanks mnherper, for helping me with the id. Just found out that this is a Parvirostris Anthias or Sunset Anthias.

By the way, here are a few more shots of my tank.

This is the most amazing tank I've ever seen!

Thanks Polly

WOW, that is one awesome tank, j'field.

Thanks again Lalani
Same here, your nano is one of my favourite too. And not to say your picture of your corals are just beautiful and colourful also

definitely should be added to the running for tank of the month

hey dude!
thats an awesome smacking clean and beautiful tank!
the best that ive come across.

fancy telling me where u get ur corals frm?

or if my skin maybe too thick. spare me some frag of your zoas.
pretty please..

There are NO words that describe how sweet your tank is DAM!!!! It makes me look at my tank after reefing for three and a half years and say, I still am a NOOB!!

Holy poo! That tank is spectacular!

Hey, Thristan, guess you were wrong.

(I agree with both of you.)

--Diane

Thanks constantocean, think I am in the queue number 10000000 to get that honour as I think there are still room for improvement But that is surely encouraging for me.



Thanks jem, I am from Singapore and do you live in the same country as me? If not, I think it will be hard to understand or know where I get my corals from By the way, I get my corals from all different LFS in my country and some from nice friendly reefer in my country as well So I will tell you more if we are living in the same country. If not, if you happens to come over for a holiday, I promise to be a good host and bring you to all the nice LFS. But be prepare to bring more $$$



Thanks Thristan, that means that you are my senior! And you are humble too, that's something I've gotta learn from you beside your knowledge in reefing.



Thanks opaquelace, you just make me fly high Will try my best to keep it spectacular in order not to disappoint you.



Thanks c est ma, I have seen your tank thread too. And your tank is much more colourful and nicer than mine! The pictures are so clear, nice and colourful! Seriously, one of the tank that I hope to achieve to be.

im from sunny exotic singapore!

Hi Jem, so you are also from Singapore too
Then think you should know where I get my corals, as Singapore is not very big!

more pics! more pics! I love this tank! keep up the great work

Thanks got2envy, not much changes till now. So one more pics for you. A reflection of my tank.

Can't find my newly sexy shrimp and boxer crab once I put in my tank. Hopefully can see them soon!
Anyway here are some pics of my old corals. Glad that the colour of my zoas are coming back slowly
It was abit dull during the shift of my tank for afew days without light

And also gotta thank the reefer who shares how to take macro shot with normal P and S camera using a magnifying glass in his or her thread. Think it really helps in taking close-up pic.
Sorry, I forgot who that was, but anyway whoever you are, gotta thank you for sharing

Here are some of my zoas

Again, all I can say is WOW! Your tank is awesome.

meh, needs more color. Jut kidding, your tank looks amazing. You should be proud.

Once again thanks Lalani I just bought afew nice green monti cap frag from 2 reefers. Will update again soon. Not an expert in sps, but I hope they do well under my care.



Haha, thanks glennr1978. Your tank is very nice too. And I am impress how you can make an old second hand tank so new and nice And also your clam is WOW! Is it a squamosa?

By the way glennr1978, are you born in 1978? If yes, we are the same age

Wow! Gorgeous pics!

I especially love the second to last zoa pic and the blasto!

--Diane (who uses magnifying lenses with her point-&-shoot too. )

Thanks c est ma, so is Diane who uses it. So you are Diane or what's her nick?

At last saw all 5 of my sexy shrimp yesterday. But the pompom crab have not appear yet since the day I put it in the tank. Maybe is too small to be seen.

And thanks Diane, so your nick is c est ma. Just realised it. Sorry. Thanks again man! I am having fun taking pics with magnifying glass.

At last gotta a shot of my 3 sexy out of 5!

Why do you have to keep making the rest of us look bad!
Love the shot of the sexies, it looks like you have two females and a male right there. Are they spending a lot of time in the open or hiding?

This tank is amazing. Very nice work.

No Lalani, I'm just sharing what I love, not trying to make you or anyone look bad as I think your and many others have much nicer tank too.
By the way Lalani, how do you differentiate male and female? And yes right now among the five shrimp, this trio tends to hang out in the open more often.


Thanks SPS20

Just hope that the monti will do well and the colour will stay as this is my first time keeping green monti and sps.

Purdy fish, and congrats on getting TOTM on that other forum.

Seriously sweet looking tank! Just WOW!

Thanks Lalani and MushyCat for the kind words.
My tank is quite full with corals now. So right now juz gotta wait for the corals to grow, the monti cap to plate to make the whole tank even nicer and I hope that I can maintain it that way till I can upgrade to a bigger tank
By the way, I am considering of setting up a 1 feet cube nano tank and still in the planning process.

Great pics, as usual, j'field.

Fantastic photos as always!

Thanks Lalani and MushyCat for your kind words.

Does anyone of you know how to differenciate a male and female sexy shrimp and how often they normally breed?

Thanks again.

Sexies are fairly easy to sex. The males tend to be smaller and their tails are relatively flat, while the females are larger and their tails are thicker. Here are a couple of photos for size comparison:

Mine, left male, right female:


Silverdust's:


My female releases her babies once, sometimes twice per month. yankeereefer and I are keeping track of our breeding sexies and we're both going to attempt to raise them.
